Riverfront 3 BR 2 BA Home on Private Wooded Lot

Enjoy this cozy cottage by the Rock River nestled on a hilltop. The home is on a 1.4 acre wooded lot on a private, dead-end street. The kitchen has been recently updated with new appliances and granite countertops. The family room w/ vaulted ceiling, features a foosball table & game table area stocked with games/dvds. Out back you will find a gazebo, sitting area, grill (charcoal not provided) and firepit. Take the nature path down the small hill (adjacent to the driveway) and take in river views from your private fishing dock (summer).

We love our home nestled among the trees and nature. It was built in 1935, but has been renovated nicely over time. The wooden ceiling beams, hardwood floors, and 2 stone fireplaces give the home a cozy cabin-like feel. The kitchen and dining room have an open floor layout. Enjoy the large open front yard. Our kids and their friends love to play basketball or foursquare on the large flat driveway area in front of the attached garage.

Our guests are free to access the entire first floor of the home, which includes kitchen, dining area, living room, 3 bedrooms, and 1.5 bathrooms. No space inside the home is shared with anyone else. In addition, guests may use the enclosed gazebo behind the home. The attached and detached garage is not for guest use.

Guests are also welcome to explore the 1.4 acre lot. There is a property map included in the Welcome binder to show our property boundaries. Guests are also free to use our fishing dock (the one closest to the bridge, summer time only).

Bring your kayak/canoes to launch from the private fishing dock (summer only) and enjoy the scenic river views. Bring your fishing poles to catch carp, catfish and other fish right off the dock. When facing the dock, to the left there is a sandy area, in which our boys love to dig around for mussels, clams, and play with frogs. Recently installed reverse osmosis water filtration system for drinking water and ice. Please note also, our home is located next to Route 2. There will be road noise when cars pass by.

Super clean
We relocated from Colorado and needed a place to stay for over a month. We found this property had everything we needed. The owners are very nice and responded right away on any questions we had. I give this place a 5 star rating.

Midwest getaway
All in all a great experience, the place was perfect for our needs! Originally the place was listed to sleep 6, so our family of 5 would fit great, but the owner made a mistake and said the listing was for 4 people and charged an extra fee for our 4 year old—there is ample space for 6 people, but we paid the fee anyway because of location and timing of booking. Roberta was a wonderful communicator, and stuff to do inside and outside for your family. Plus if you like to cook and save money by not eating out on a vacation for every meal, the kitchen was great, it has everything you need! The sound from the highway was a little loud at night, we didn’t realize how close it was to IL-Route 2, but we still slept good!

Wonderful Family Getaway
This was such a neat place to stay. There were so many fun things for the whole family to do. We love being outdoors and enjoyed the wooded nature surrounding the property. They had many great games to play indoors on the rainy days too! The kitchen was nice, and there were plenty of supplies and extra items to make our stay comfortable. Hosts were very helpful throughout our stay as well!
