About this property

Riverfront cabin on Rock River

Completely remodeled and updated 975 square foot two bedroom cottage. Featuring 65 inch flat-screen HDTV, fully modernized kitchen with new gas oven, french door refrigerator, new Serta-Perfect queen mattress in master bedroom and pillow-top queen in guest bedroom.
This cozy cottage sleeps four comfortably, and has a full dining room and laundry with washer and dryer.
Amazing river views as soon as you walk in, but this home boasts a three season room furnished with a huge L-shaped sectional couch, surrounded by windows for spectacular views and comfortable relaxation.
Outside we have a large concrete patio fully furnished including a gas grill and even a hammock. There is a large fenced in grass yard leading down a gentle slope to the river where you'll find a nice fishing dock where you will see bald eagles, deer and other wildlife.
Preferred age limit; 26 and above. no children please, two day minimum. Due to insurance no swimming is allowed. Pet friendly negotiable. Limit 2 dogs and I do have a $30 nightly pet fee.
Just to be totally open as I did have a guest mention this. About a mile down river from my place they do have a trap shooting range and in the summer and fall you may hear them practicing. If you have any concerns or have questions about when they are shooting please don’t hesitate to contact me. I was able to find the schedule online. On a side note my dog is Very noise sensitive and from that distance it doesn’t seem to bother her as we spend a lot of time there when we can.. please feel free to contact me if you have questions. Bill

We loved the design of the home itself as well as the view of the river right out the backyard. The fenced in yard proved perfect for our dogs, maybe the best rental setup we had as far as convenience for them. We could just let them outdoors by themselves with no problem. I really enjoyed being able to observe life on the river too. Nice place, especially for the price! Good bang for your buck.

Charming, clean and comfortable house right on the beautiful rock river. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch, setting up our fishing poles on the dock and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We look forward to visiting again next year.

The fenced in yard was excellent for our dog to roam and still be safe from the river. The entire house so extremely clean and so comfy!! The fishing off the dock wa an added bonus. My son, daughter in law, and I had so much fun, and it was so relaxing for my mom.

Communication with the host was great. The property is nice and clean and pet friendly.. There's a lot of places to go and good restaurants in the area. Unfortunately they're having a drought and the water was very low. The nearest public boat launch is 7 miles away. We heard shooting at the range but it's not that noticeable. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that this property is on a flyover path from the airport. The planes were very low and noisy. There was also alot of yard work going on in the neighborhood our second full day and all we could hear was mowers, blowers, and weed eaters all day long. It was not a quiet or relaxing stay. None of this is the owners fault but beware of these issues if you stay here. It's a lovely property otherwise.

A comfortable stay, relaxing on the Rock River, with nearby forest preserves to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the three season porch and took advantage of BBQ grill. Be sure the location works for what you want to do, though driving into Rockford is easy. Owner is engaging and made sure we were comfortable; he was readily available if we had questions.

Relaxing atmosphere. Aesthetically pleasing. Our 2 dogs loved it! It was like staying at a friends house and the host, Bill, is like that friend! Bill was thorough with the check-in/check-out processes information. Very welcoming! We will definitely return! Rockford area was our home for over 30 years. It was so nice to be able to return with such a pleasant place to stay.
Right on the river!

Awesome quaint cabin. Exactly like it was pictured. The private fenced yard at the rivers edge was amazing and perfect for the furbaby. Our host was welcoming and friendly. I have already recommended this property to friends. If we were closer we would return in a heart beat! It gas much more to offer than what is described!
