The host communicated throughout the entire process which was helpful and very detailed. The home was very clean and spacious. Good home for a nice small family.
I really enjoyed my stay!! House was very clean, had everything I needed, with added bonuses! Host was very responsive and pleasant. I had no issues and if Im back in the Rockford area, I will definitely stay here again. Just want to add tge home us conveniently located as well!
It was a perfect place to stay for my daughter’s volleyball tournament. Nice quiet neighborhood, just minutes away from the facility and great restaurants.
Was in town visiting friends for a few days, the owner was communicative and the house was clean and in a great location central to town. Would stay again, thanks!
We had a great visit in Rockford taking in some hikes, some hockey and the museums. We had a great stay in the house. Everything was clean and the linens/beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
We traveled to Rockford for a sporting event. Our house was easy to get to with a location off of Main Street, close to grocery store, clean property. All amenities provided were good.
It's a great place with lots of room. The communication with the owner was great as well. Highly recommend.

This was perfect for our group! Clean, spacious, comfortable, and convenient. Sorry we had to enjoy it during frigid temperatures - this property was wonderful in the winter, so I can only imagine how great it is in the warmer seasons right by the river and downtown!
The house was beautiful! Very clean! There were great appliances and furniture. Easy check in and check out. The host communicated all weekend to see how our stay was. Would definitely recommend this property in Rockford! We will be back!
Communication with the manager was excellent. The listing said there was a pull out single bed. That was incorrect on VRBO and we brought this to their attention. They provided linens for my 6th person to sleep on the couch. Also listing said "on the river". We could see it from upstairs but thought their was access. Not really a problem. Upstairs only one remote for 2 fans in 2 bedrooms. It might be better for each room to have their own controls. Since it was warm weather, it was a little warm sleeping upstairs, just FYI. All in all, we had a nice stay and so nice to have the whole house!
Everything was great. My group would stay again. The only issue was that there’s only 2 parking spots right by the house. Our group had 5 cars as we came from different places, so some had to park down the street. Not a big deal once we unloaded.
