On a side note my dog is Very noise sensitive and from that distance it doesn’t seem to bother her as we spend a lot of time there when we can.. please feel free to contact me if you have questions.

    The fenced in yard was excellent for our dog to roam and still be safe from the river. The entire house so extremely clean and so comfy!! The fishing off the dock wa an added bonus. My son, daughter in law, and I had so much fun, and it was so relaxing for my mom.

    We loved everything about this property. My wife liked it so much that she wanted to stay forever!!! It was the perfect size for us and our 2 dogs. Our dogs loved the fenced in yard and would watch the water fowl swim by all day.The home has all the amenities that you could ask for while on vacation and the owner communicated in advance everything we needed to know about the property. We would highly recommend this property to any looking for quiet place on the river, where you can fish, watch the bald eagles fly by or just sit in the backyard and relax with your family. Thanks again

    We loved the design of the home itself as well as the view of the river right out the backyard. The fenced in yard proved perfect for our dogs, maybe the best rental setup we had as far as convenience for them. We could just let them outdoors by themselves with no problem. I really enjoyed being able to observe life on the river too. Nice place, especially for the price! Good bang for your buck.

    Communication with the host was great. The property is nice and clean and pet friendly.. There's a lot of places to go and good restaurants in the area. Unfortunately they're having a drought and the water was very low. The nearest public boat launch is 7 miles away. We heard shooting at the range but it's not that noticeable. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fact that this property is on a flyover path from the airport. The planes were very low and noisy. There was also alot of yard work going on in the neighborhood our second full day and all we could hear was mowers, blowers, and weed eaters all day long. It was not a quiet or relaxing stay. None of this is the owners fault but beware of these issues if you stay here. It's a lovely property otherwise.

    A comfortable stay, relaxing on the Rock River, with nearby forest preserves to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the three season porch and took advantage of BBQ grill. Be sure the location works for what you want to do, though driving into Rockford is easy. Owner is engaging and made sure we were comfortable; he was readily available if we had questions.

Bill was thorough with the check-in/check-out processes information. Very welcoming! We will definitely return! Rockford area was our home for over 30 years. It was so nice to be able to return with such a pleasant place to stay.

    We had a great stay at the riverfront cabin on the Rock River. Loved the 3 season room and the house was so cozy. Bill was an awesome host. The personal phone call prior to our arrival to explain about the house and the area was great. We also had a bad storm come through one night and he was on the spot to help us. Not sure what we would have done without him. We would most definitely stay again.
