    My family had a wonderful stay at the Grafton River House over Thanksgiving. Brandon reached out to me early and helped me to plan for cooking a feast at the house, ensuring the equipment onsite was what I needed. And it was! We prepared an entire Thanksgiving meal, and several dinners, lunches and breakfasts over the course of our stay. Because it was so cold outside, the family spent most our time playing games downstairs and watching plenty of football on the home's modern TVs. We really enjoyed our time together, and are grateful for the accomodations, as we had family come in from three different states. Thanks to Brandon for the wonderful memories!

    We had a great stay with 10 girlfriends celebrating birthdays. The location is awesome and the house is so nice! Plenty of room inside. The patio was so nice to watch the boats go by!

    Location and house was perfect for our boys. They loved the game room and being able to walk to the river to fish. The host was very kind and had the house equipped with everything you need for a few days away!

    Perfect for our extended family group with young children. Awesome play room for kids and adults. It also worked well for us as we had a couple of sensitive sleepers needing quiet. Walkable to restaurants and activities while still providing privacy and great views. There is an extra building with beds which we didn’t need and plenty of room for a campfire and outdoor games.

    This location was perfect for our vacation with our two dogs. The path behind the house was great for morning walks. The property had all the amenities you could ask for. The view from the deck was great and we could watch the boats on the river. We had rainy weather one afternoon and enjoyed the game room. We would definitely visit again!

    The property sits right near the Mississippi River/Illinois River confluence. There is a nice, paved walking/biking trail right behind the house. From the very large deck, we had a pretty view at all times. The are restaurants all along the streets of Grafton. Our host was most accommodating and responsive to our questions and feedback. We had a fun stay.. .

    My wife and I visited the Grafton Getaway Riverhouse to hike with our dogs at the nearby state park, enjoy the autumn leaves, and be close to the river. The house was fantastic - tons of character, a well-equipped kitchen (we like to cook when traveling), and great river views. We had one rainy day, and benefitted from the well-equipped recreation room on the ground floor. Bird watching - pelicans, woodpeckers - off the front deck was really nice. The restaurant next door is convenient, but we had no noise issues or other disruptions from the proximity to businesses. Great place, as good as advertised.

    The Grafton Getaway Home was great for the 9 ladies who stayed here for one night. We were able to spread out, eat, drink, play cards and have fun in this cute home on a beautiful site right on the Mississippi River! We enjoyed the many places to gather. There are a lot of stairs in the house and on the outdoor patio, but we loved the comfort and charm of this nice property.

    Our nephew got married at Pere Marquette and the whole family (8 aunts & uncles with their kids) came to town. I reserved this house for 10 but 24 came for dinner the evening before the wedding! It was wonderful! The kids played in the game room and rode the bikes along the river front while the adults caught up. We watched the full moon rise sitting around a fire. Perfect stay!

    The house worked perfectly for our group of 6 to get together and have fun in Grafton. Easily walkable to restaurants and bars — but there’s plenty to do (or lots of places to sit and relax) at the house. Deck, fire pit, game room, kitchen… we took advantage of all of the spaces. This was such a good property
