Jimmy and Anna were very welcoming and responsive! The property is beautiful. The home is neat, spacious, and comes with everything you could think of. Very quiet and peaceful area. Staying along the Fox River was so much fun- fishing, walks, relaxing outside. We often saw Eagles flying behind the house quite a few deer. One was even walking across the river and the kids loved seeing that!Highly recommend this space, even if you’re a local that just wants a relaxing weekend getaway fishing!

Great hosts, clean property, nice getaway

We enjoyed staying here and watching the fireworks on the river. The property was clean and the neighbors were very friendly. My husband and son enjoyed the fishing, just use plenty of bug spray because it’s not just the fish biting around there!

Relaxing getaway

Beautiful scenic view of the river. First time fishing for my son, who absolutely adored it! Thank you for the host for being so generous and letting us borrow his fishing supplies. Neighbors were nice. The state park was fun to visit too. We grilled, made s'mores, relaxed, and had an amazing long weekend. Would highly recommend.

Perfect home away from home!

The River House was exactly what we needed for our family, and more! The space was great for our 4, 2, and 1 year old, and the kitchen was super easy to work out of. The hosts put so many thoughtful details into the space and had extremely quick and helpful communication. We will definitely stay here again anytime we are in the area.

Fox River

We have stayed at many places, this place takes the cake! The owners had everything you would ever need. The communication was great also! My family and I enjoyed sitting by river and staying warm by the fire (again everything you need, yes even fire wood. The home and the grounds were very clean as well. Will definitely be back!

Perfect

Fantastic outdoor spaces. We appreciated the thoughtful touches. The space was exactly as described. We loved sitting with our feet in the river. There were six adults in our group; We spent most of our weekend hanging out at the house and it was more than comfortable. The beds were good. The futon was comfortable to sit on but not to sleep on (just an FYI).

Fantastic family river time

The house is perfect for river life. We were able to accommodate our large family easily. The place is perfect for eating and relaxing. The fishing was great. Plenty of activities for all ages in the evenings after a long day playing in the area. We really enjoyed all aspects of the property. Jimmy and Anna obviously put a lot of love into this place. Highly recommend this to all

What makes this property unique

Our house is one of only 4 houses to be this close to the Fox river. This special place creates many great moments and memories. Every moment my family spends at the river house is a moment of true magic. At our place you are surrounded by nature and you feel in harmony with life. The river flow down stream and somehow takes all the negative buildup down with it. To us this place is special and we believe that the right thing to do is share it so many others feel it’s magic.
