We had a great 6 day stay at this property on the Rock River. Hosts were always available for questions and the location and home were very well kept. Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a riverfront property location on your visit to the area. Drive to both Dixon and Oregon were short and manageable for any necessities.

Great location. Plenty of parking. Right on the Rock River. Very clean. Lots of outside seating on the decks. Lots of towels, though we couldn’t find them at first. They were in the dining room credenza. The house is pretty well stocked with supplies. The host is very friendly and responsive. Would stay there again.

Great location in a quiet neighborhood and right on the Rock River! Tanzie was a great host. Pretty much everything we needed we found was already there! Great location very close to several state parks and nature preserves. If you enjoy nature, this is a great spot to stay. Close to everything!

Wonderful Stay

we had such a peaceful weekend getaway here! the river views were absolutely stunning — seriously one of the best parts of the stay. the house itself was clean, cozy, and well-stocked, with everything we needed to relax. communication with the owner was super fast and smooth, which made the whole experience stress-free.the only heads up is that since it’s right by the river, there were quite a few mayflies around in the evenings — but that’s just nature being nature! we stayed inside after sundown, played board games, and had a great time anyway. during the day, we bbq’d and enjoyed the beautiful outdoor space.would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely cottage on the river!

This cottage on the Rock River was wonderful! The accommodations were comfortable and homey. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was roomy and the outdoor charcoal grill was perfect for grilling! The breakfast room with the river view was our favorite spot to hang out if we weren’t outside on one of the decks. The river views were so calming and relaxing. We will definitely go back!

Perfect get away

It was very peaceful and enjoyable to seat and watch the river during meals. The kids enjoyed trying to fish and Tanzie communicated very well with us and checked in via text to see if we needed anything. This is a property we'd return to.

This property is a hidden treasure! The inside is very well kept and was exceptionally clean. There is plenty of room to spread out and the sunroom is spectacular. We stayed over Memorial Day weekend and even though neighbors had parties, the noise level was only audible when we were outside. The kitchens stocked with pots, pans and dishes! We enjoyed being right by the river. We watched the bald eagles right across the river, saw a deer swim across the river and a red-headed piliated woodpecker for the first time ever. It was serene and lovely to spend time there. Tanzie was great a communicating before the trip as well as during the trip. She is a gem and really great host. Our only regret was that we didn’t have more time to spend there! If you want a quiet place to spend time,with the convenience of town a few minutes away, book now!
