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.

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.

Perfect getaway

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!

Hidden Gem

Loved this hidden gem. Was the perfect place and location for my dog and I. Loved sitting in the back enjoying the quiet and beautiful river view. Home has so many nice updates and features. Would highly recommend and will stay again. Bill called the day before and was so thoughtful and thorough explaining things with the home and also recommended things to do in the area. Thank you for such a pleasant stay.

It really is that charming!

We found everything that the other reviewers have said to be true. The property is clean, well stocked, and comfortable, and Bill is a wonderful and thorough host. The kitchen in particular has everything you could want in a guest house, but my favorite room was the sun room. The space heater made it especially cozy in the mornings while we were drinking coffee and in the afternoons while we played board games. We did hear the sounds from the trap shooting range nearby on a couple of nights, but the sound wasn't very loud, and they were done there by 9:00 p.m. both nights. It wasn't a problem at all. If you're a sensitive sleeper, you might hear some of the lower-flying planes from Rockford Airport at night. There weren't that many, though, and I think they were noticeable only because the property is so very quiet otherwise. On the nights I took allergy medication before bed, I was knocked out and didn't hear them once. :D I mention this only because I'm a lousy sleeper and I usually do not sleep well on trips at all. I hope the fact that I got as much rest as I did on this trip tells you just how peaceful Bill's guest house is. This was a great place for a leisurely vacation.

Excellent Retreat

This was our second time here. First time was in the spring and we had such a nice time, we came back to see the fall leaves. Perfect place to relax from hectic lives. Bill is a great host. Everything is clean and well maintained. Having coffee in the morning watching the river drift by and the various birds calling and flying along the river. It is an ideal retreat.

2nd Visit- As Wonderful as Expected!

This was our second visit to this property. It is exactly as pictured and even had an improved living room area with comfortable seating and a large TV. This home has all you need if you want to stay in and relax and is also close to surrounding attractions. The fenced in yard is lovely and well-kept. The host (Bill) is a delight. He makes check-in/check-out easy and clearly cares that you enjoy your stay. We plan on making this an annual trip!
