This is a great property for a family get away. Pool was fun for kids and adults and the river view was so relaxing. Single floor home was nice for older guests.

We're so glad this property was a great fit for your family getaway. The pool and river view are two of our favorite features too, and it's wonderful to hear the single floor layout worked well for guests of all ages. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope it made for a truly relaxing trip.

Nice weekend getaway for a large group of friends. Clean house and lots of room both indoors and out for hanging out. The river view was peaceful and the pool was fun. Minor comments is one of the bedrooms only has a half wall so any noise from the living room can be heard easily.

Ladies Trip

Our group of 10 ladies very much enjoyed our stay at the rock river retreat! There was plenty of room for all of us. The beds were super comfortable! We enjoyed the large, well furnished outdoor spaces and had a great time at the pool and on the river. Highly recommend!

Bachman reunion

Nice set up. Open kitchen/living room/dining was very conducive to our group. We did have to purchase floats for the pool...but just left some for the next guests.

Rock River Retreat

The house is very nice and everything went smoothly. If I had one critique, it would be nice to ensure that everything is provided for the BBQ, there was no lighter fluid, and that some extra logs are provided for the firepit. Other than that the stay was very enjoyable.

Get away

House was great for our group. 4 kiddos and 5 adults. Lots of nice extras at house. Pool was great for the kiddos. Beds very comfy! Big bedroom great for a family with kiddos that can sleep safely in bunks. Other bedroom attached directly to it for parents and kiddos in pack n play but could prove awkward for groups not wanting others traipsing through the attached bedrooms to go outside to pool or use the second bathroom. House was clean and well equipped . Would def go back.bedrooms

Nice but expensive

Positive clean open floor plan. Comfy beds and nice bathrooms. Pool a plus Negative hot water pressure and old bath towels. Broken shade awnings by pool and awnings over back porch. Grill was really dirty My friends and family rent homes 4 times a year. We rent 10 bedroom homes and small ones like this. In my experience the cost per day, cleaning fees and other fee's make this rental overpriced.

Girls Weekend of relaxation and fun

My girlfriends and I spent the weekend here and had a blast. The place was clean and spacious. A couple items that we wished were at the house were trash bags, a broom, and cooking oil - it is possible that we just did not find them. We rented a pontoon near by - the driver picked us up right form the dock. We visited local restaurants and listened to love music. We loved having all the pool floaties out and didn't even get a chance to take the yard games out. They also were great at communicating - we accidentally locked ourselves out and they were on the phone within seconds to help. Overall great!

Overall we had a great stay! Property is wonderful and had activities for all ages! The pool chemicals were thrown off due to the storms the day we arrived and several of us got rashes. The property manager came out the next day and fixed that and we were fine the rest of the time! Her responsive was wonderful.One of the main bedrooms is not technically a bedroom the wall is not a full wall and at the top opens into the living room. This caused a problem for us since we go to bed at different times. The mattress in that room needs to be replaced there were massive sagging where you sleep which caused a lot of back pain! We spent most of our time fishing, kayaking, swimming and cooking! Great family vacation!
