Nancy, Michael and I love to hear that our guests enjoyed their time here! Thank you for writing a review and we hope to see you again.
Every aspect of our stay was perfect. The owners communicated ahead of time with clear directions on finding their property. They were nice enough to let someone drop off fishing gear in advance of our arrival, and gave us fishing tips. The property itself is one of a kind for the area. You truly feeling like you are in some whimsical place, with all the small details hidden in the home and the outdoor spaces. We were a group of three adults and we loved it, I can imagine that kids will feel like they’re somewhere magical. We had a wonderful stay and can’t wait to be back.

Kyle, Michael and I really appreciate your review and for mentioning that you found this place to be whimsical because of the details in the home and outside on our property. We're thrilled that all three of you loved it, and we hope to see you and your friends again!
This was one of the best Vrbo experiences my husband and I have had. The unit was exceptionally clean, organized and well stocked with any sort of towels, bug spray, kitchen utensils, grilling utensils, kid toys, you name it! The outdoor patio and river was incredibly relaxing and it felt very private. We were bummed we could not stay longer to enjoy this property! I would recommend this to anyone!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are happy that you appreciated how clean our space is and how well stocked we keep it. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to see you again!
We had a great stay with Rebecca and Michael along the Rock River. The property has a wonderful woodland feel with many trails and personal touches that make it a truly unique and special place to visit. The house has all needed supplies, and many thoughtful extras, including kayaks, bikes, and a closet full of board games. The hosts even took time one day to give us a late afternoon float trip on the River to view scenery, wildlife, and to share some interesting local history. Trail lighting and spectacular flowers enhance the whole experience. Michael’s custom woodworking touches are a spectacular feature of the house with each room having an individual theme in specially selected woods that match perfectly. Every aspect of the property is well executed! Among the best rental stays in our personal history, our highest recommendation!
