Riverfront cabin on Rock River

Completely remodeled and updated 975 square foot two bedroom cottage. Featuring 65 inch flat-screen HDTV, fully modernized kitchen with new gas oven, french door refrigerator, new Serta-Perfect queen mattress in master bedroom and pillow-top queen in guest bedroom.
This cozy cottage sleeps four comfortably, and has a full dining room and laundry with washer and dryer.
Amazing river views as soon as you walk in, but this home boasts a three season room furnished with a huge L-shaped sectional couch, surrounded by windows for spectacular views and comfortable relaxation.
Outside we have a large concrete patio fully furnished including a gas grill and even a hammock. There is a large fenced in grass yard leading down a gentle slope to the river where you'll find a nice fishing dock where you will see bald eagles, deer and other wildlife.
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.

Want to return, but not with our guests

It's a great place to stay, and we've been there before with our friends. Sometimes they get talking about religion, and it all starts circling the drain. Next winter, I hope we can stay again, but not with them, just us and our dog. Thanks Bill!

Right on the river!

We loved it the moment we arrived. We spent two nights there with our Frieds and their little dog (we have a little dog too). Great fenced in yard and cozy porch. The kitchen Is stocked with everything you need, we brought lasagna, steak, crab legs. Comfy beds too. We will go back for sure!

Great Getaway

What a great little getaway. We “lived” in the porch and backyard and enjoyed just watching the river flow. There was quite a bit of gun noise from the gun range during our stay but the owner did mention this in listing. Quiet little neighborhood!

We could live here! Would definitely recommend.

Favorite part of rental is secure gated backyard so dogs were contained and within sight while we were on the dock. And we caught a fish! Everything others say is true about this place. Enjoyed many local forest preserves to hike. Definitely would return

Wonderful

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.

This was the perfect getaway. The 3 seasons room was a great spot to relax, while watching the river, sipping wine, and reconnecting with old friends. Would 100% stay here again and my friends and I are already discussing coming back in the fall.

Serene Weekend

The property is well equipped, nicely furnished, and well kept. The backyard and screen room are perfect for relaxing and watching the river. The home and yard were quiet and a nice respite from the city. The owner was very friendly and approachable. We had no issues, but I have no doubt he would have been responsive if something were to arise. We would definitely stay again!
