Had a wonderful, serene time at this place. I’ve stayed in a lot of vrbos and this was definitely one of my favorites. Very cozy with incredible views of the Rock River. Absolutely LOVED the upstairs bedroom with the view. Was worried at first about the ladder, but the outside stairs worked perfectly. Also , the communication with Chaz was top notch from even before we arrived. Thank you. Will definitely return.
