About this property

Getaway Cabin on the Rock River, enjoy kayaking, canoeing and fishing

The property is located on the Rock River in Oregon, IL and is perfect for group gatherings up to 8 people. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, or canoeing on the Rock River. Golfing at Silverridge Golf course is about 10 minutes away. Like hiking? There are multiple parks close by from Castle Rock, Lowden State Park and White Pines. These are beautiful state parks that could take days and days to do all the trails. The house is 2 ½ miles from the town of Oregon which has multiple restaurants, bars, a grocery store and a Dollar General store for any emergency necessities that may be needed. Other activities close by; horseback riding, golf, and you can enjoy a lunch or a dinner cruise on the Rock River.

The cabin on the river is a must see. If you need to get away from it all, then this is the home for you. There’s a full-size kitchen with all the amenities to cook meals, an outdoor gas grill, and multiple decks to enjoy the views of the river. If the weather is not cooperating and you just want to watch TV, you can pop in a movie in the DVD, or watch TV with Roku next to a cozy gas fireplace. There are plenty of games to choose from and lots of books if you just want to relax with a good read.

The cabin has 2 bedrooms with queen beds on the 1st floor as well as a bathroom w/jacuzzi tub. There’s a bedroom w/2 twins beds upstairs along with a bathroom and a loft area that houses another queen bed.

Feel free to bring your canoes/kayaks or rafts as there is a launch pad up by the dam in town which you can drift down till you arrive at the house. What better way to enjoy your day than to float down the river.

If you're an early riser, you can enjoy seeing the sunrise. Or, enjoy a beautiful sunset at the end of the day all from the back deck. Into bird watching? There's hardly a day that goes by that you won't see an eagle flying along the river.

If you are looking for places to stay for a reunion or wedding, there are multiple houses close by within walking distance that can accommodate additional travelers. Please see below for additional rental homes:

A very lovely rustic cabin. We sat on the very large deck as often as we could. The kitchen had everything we needed for a week's stay. A few things could use updating.

Pleasant Gathering on the River

This very pleasant cabin on the river provided us with lots of room and comfort as we gathered from across the country to attend some business and family meetings. We were pleased to find a place we could all stay together. Most of our time was spent away from the cabin but it was nice to relax there at the end of the day.

Hidden Gem

If you are looking for the perfect spot for your group of 6-8, this is it! The wrap around deck, fire pit and outdoor grilling station are just part of why it is perfect. The indoor kitchen is perfect for a group cooking and serving. We had a great thunderstorm roll through and watched it from the huge screened in porch! Bring your tubes and put in up the river near the dam and float back to the property! There are stairs leading up from the water but no beach front or actual swimming area at the property. Very rocky (aka Rock River) so use caution. Oh, and a wonderful chicken came to visit us daily!! Can’t wait to return!!The host is responsive and prompt with messaging. This was the relaxing weekend we all needed.
