Thank you! We enjoyed our stay!
We absolutely loved the house and the entire property. We were in town for a wedding and it was so enjoyable to stay here and get ready. The house is gorgeous with so much attention to detail!!! And it’s HUGE!! We felt welcomed and at home immediately. We all agreed that we’d like to come back again!!!!
I can’t even begin to say enough great things about this house and the host! Ron was wonderful to work with! He was so easy and helpful to communicate with! The house is absolutely stunning! Ron provides you with lots of different activities to enjoy! The game basement was so much fun! My friends and I enjoyed playing all the different games down there! The outside has plenty of places to sit and relax. Outdoor games, firewood, and a gas grill are all provided by the host. Inside the house, there are plenty of amenities supplied (like lots of towels, the bathrooms were stocked with different necessities, and there was ample kitchen items). I’ve stayed at lots of rental homes, and this one has exceeded all my expectations! I can’t recommend this house enough! We will be back for sure!
I am a tour manager for a country artist with a 5 piece band. We had a day off before playing at the Japanese Gardens and we decided to stay at Ron and Karen’s. This place is UNBELIEVABLE. Gorgeous master suite, grounds, river view, tiled screened in porches, terraces, etc. All communication with Ron and Karen was easy and clear. They were incredibly generous hosts and came to see our concert the next day. We even had a very nice late night hang with the neighbors who are super friendly. I hope to stay here many more times.
The communicated amazingly! Very seamless process. Great hosts!
Super!
This house has been restored to its former glory with modern comforts. Lots of space for gatherings.
Great property for a larger gathering.
Family from 3 other states flew in for a weekend of activities. Great accommodations for large group, appreciate all the furnishings.
The only problem with this amazing home is deciding which beautiful room to have your morning coffee. We have stayed at VRBO all over the country...this may be the best. Then the owners decided to throw in some vintage video games, pinball machines, and an authentic Jukebox spinning old 45's....family dance party in the basement...Thank You for sharing this amazing property with us.
We rented the property for out of town family for our son's wedding. It is beautiful! We all loved exploring the 3 floors and hanging in the basement. Hosts were great to work with. Highly recommend!
We had such a great time with family! We gathered for our son’s wedding at the house was the perfect location to host everyone and enjoy our time together.
House and grounds were wonderful. Owner and manager were great on any requests.
We had a time celebrating our annual girls weekend at the house. The house had everything we needed and plenty of room!
Our stay was fascinating. The home has so much character. If you have an active imagination you can see yourself back in the early 1900’s. The home is good sized and decorated nicely. The property on the river with an outside gazebo was a nice surprise. I highly recommend stays of over 3 days to take in and appreciate this home. Ed Gearen IV
Our son got married in Rockford, so we wanted our family to stay together for the days of rehearsal and wedding. The home was so accommodating to have your family there! Would definitely recommend this property. Such beautiful view of the river. Beds and pillows were very comfortable, and kitchen and eating area was great fir whole family.
We were in town for a wedding. The house was large and had plenty of room. It was great for our group!
My family stayed here for a wedding in the area. We had 3 couples stay here, with plenty of space to spread out. The house and property is beautiful!
We booked this property a year ago for our son's wedding. This property is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay during a crazy time between events for the wedding. Definitely would recommend this property to anyone who wants to visit Rockford
This property lived up to its promise and some. Lots of history here and nicely located near Klehm Aborateum. Great place for entertaining or just chilling. Would happily stay again.
The property was very comfortable and convenient to the Rockford area. We enjoyed the lovely fire pit located near the river.
This was a beautiful home. Very clean and spacious. Views were awesome of the River! Game room was an added plus! Gazebo in the yard was so nice and relaxing. Sun porches were soooo nice!
What an amazing, we’ll maintained home! We had a family wedding in Rockford and the 5 bedrooms with lots of extra space for hanging out was just what we needed. Best part of this home is the decode that matches the historical feel! Amazing stay at amazing home! Thanks
The house and grounds were beyond what we expected! Spacious and comfortable. The basement! We love the 2nd floor outside balconies for early morning gatherings. A fire pit gathering by the river, watching the ducks and swans go by was a perfect ending to a memorable weekend.
We rented the home from out of town for our sons wedding. The home absolutely exceeded our expectations! It was clean, modern and huge. We had my husband and I and the 4 groomsmen for my son's wedding and some of them had significant others. The bedrooms were really large and so private. Everything was perfect. The view of the river is beautiful and we took some pictures pre-wedding pictures there. If I ever had the opportunity to rent this place again, I would definitely do it as it was a very memorable experience.
The accommodations were wonderful. Home worked out great for our group, who were in town for a family wedding. Game room was enjoyed by both young and old in our group! No major complaints.
This house is beautiful. It was well equipped for our family gathering, and so much room inside and out nobody wanted to leave! The one possible issue there may be is was keeping the noise level down outside if you have a larger crowd. Neighbors are very close. We enjoyed our stay!
We had a great stay for a work event. The house had plenty of space and was very quiet. Will definitely go back!
