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.

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.

Relaxing!

Arrived early and we were told to go ahead and go in. We had a great time and it was very relaxing. The 3 decks on the river were great. There’s a few boards on the bottom deck that could probably use some work but we weren’t disappointed in the stay. We forgot some food in the refrigerator and texted Tanzie about it and she was very nice about it. Would stay there again if we were in the area.

Anniversary trip

The Rock River Hideaway was a great river house to stay in for our 35th anniversary. Clean and comfortable. Unfortunately we had bad weather and it was hard to enjoy the deck and river watch. Town is very close for supplies. Everything was great. Host was very responsive via text.

Hit the spot for our couples getaway

We (2 person couple) really enjoyed this cabin. We fished from the deck and did have some luck. Beautiful scenic and quiet location. The near by towns had need shops and cafes. Check in was very easy and all questions were answered quickly. The 'bugs' come and go with the current (as is waterfront life). Beds were cozy and the cabin was clean. We are keeping this place on our list for the future!

The porch!

We were in the area to visit with my mom a few days. She is in long term care, and visits can sometimes be emotional. We wanted a relaxing place to come back to at night, and this property fit the bill. We knew the weather would be cooler, so we really loved that we could still get a great view of the river sitting on the porch. We enjoyed meals there. This property was very clean, and beds and couches were comfortable.
