First time staying here & already looking to come back!! Owner was very responsive to my questions (quicker than I expected). Beautiful, right on the river...loved watching the wildlife; & didn't know the White Pelicans would be there! We are used to seeing them every Spring in Antioch, IL. Definitely felt like our home away from home. Might have to make it a tradition every year!
Beautiful views!

The view this property offers is fantastic. There is a wall of windows facing the water and we enjoyed watching the wildlife. This house was very clean and spacious. The host has this property stocked with everything you could need and then some. The kitchen is especially well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, small appliances, towels, paper products, etc. The beds are the very comfortable, better than any other property I’ve rented. There are plenty of extra pillows, sheets and blankets if needed. The air conditioning worked great and the water was nice and hot when showering. The bathrooms had plenty of toilet paper, towels, hand soap, and shower gel. There are hair dryers and flat irons in the bathrooms.The hosts are extremely nice and responded very quickly to any messages we sent. If you are looking for a peaceful place with great views, and with hosts that value their customers, the Westview Retreat is it.

About the host

Hosted by Pam Walsh

Host profile image
Residents of Illinois, we love our small town, the ability to be away from it all but still close to everything, and the chance to welcome and introduce new friends to our little corner of the world.

Why they chose this property

On the banks of the Mississippi River, the views are constantly changing and always stunning. Surrounded by nature, there is aways wildlife to see and in the late fall until spring, the eagles come to nest and are spectacular to watch.

What makes this property unique

Steps from the water there is always something to see and do and sportsmen, bicyclists and hikers find it's the perfect spot to get away. Want to cozy up, drink coffee or cocktails and do nothing? We're a great place for that too!
