Preferred age limit; 26 and above. no children please, two day minimum. Due to insurance no swimming is allowed. Pet friendly negotiable. Limit 2 dogs and I do have a $30 nightly pet fee.
Just to be totally open as I did have a guest mention this. About a mile down river from my place they do have a trap shooting range and in the summer and fall you may hear them practicing. If you have any concerns or have questions about when they are shooting please don’t hesitate to contact me. I was able to find the schedule online. 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.

Charming, clean and comfortable house right on the beautiful rock river. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch, setting up our fishing poles on the dock and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We look forward to visiting again next year.

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.

Relaxing atmosphere. Aesthetically pleasing. Our 2 dogs loved it! It was like staying at a friends house and the host, Bill, is like that friend! 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.
Right on the river!

Awesome quaint cabin. Exactly like it was pictured. The private fenced yard at the rivers edge was amazing and perfect for the furbaby. Our host was welcoming and friendly. I have already recommended this property to friends. If we were closer we would return in a heart beat! It gas much more to offer than what is described!

Very cute house, my wife was very happy staying there. Very quiet neighborhood we all enjoyed sitting in the back yard. We saw deer, geese, and ducks along the river. Very peaceful. I would stay again!
My Irish Wolfhound loved the freedom in the back yard.
