This house was incredible! The decor is stunning and inviting throughout, providing a warm feeling of class and style. Complete with the cutest little signs for any question you may have (including detailed instructions for the four remotes which was so so appreciated!) around the home as well as a cute little coffee bar. The green dining room was probably my favorite room, providing the perfect romantic setting for our valentine's dinner. The host is incredible as well- communicative and polite, and truly went above and beyond. Thank you so much, Carolyn! We can't wait to stay again!

Family reunion lodging

This was second time we've stayed in a Victorian style VRBO. First was in Galena, Illinois in a house where U.S. General Grant lived before the Civil War. The Victorian homes offer more than just a place to sleep. This one very well set up for guests. Kudos to the hosts for preserving the house and sharing with others.

Great house, location & host

Stayed here for a work trip that took us to dairy farms in all directions from Rockford. The house is terrific and is super convenient to the interstates making getting in/out a breeze. This is a quiet neighborhood--with brick street--that feels very safe. Carolyn was very responsive and accommodating--making the check-in/out process painless and ensuring we had a great stay. Will definitely stay here again if work brings me back to the area.

Absolutely lovely

We checked in the day after Christmas and the entire house was beautifully highlighted with charming Christmas decor. Delightful furnishing throughout the house make it very comfortable. Nice details added to make our stay convenient such as an alarm clock that charges the phone and a make up table in the master bedroom as well as a spacious closet. We were very pleased with our stay. The house was clean, and that is probably the most important thing to me. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We look forward to our return visit.

Wish we had more time

We had a short trip to leave my grandson at Rockford University. There was a lot of rushing around, back and forth, getting things arranged, but this house provided a lovely respite for us each evening to relax and get good sleep. The owners are very responsive, the kitchen is well-stocked, and everything is well-labeled. Even as modern amenities abound, the house is a beautiful specimen of Victorian architecture.

What a wonderful find this beautiful and beautifully restored home is! My wife and I, along with our two oldest grandsons (aged 10 & 9) spent the weekend in this home. It was so beautifully decorated for Christmas with Christmas trees in every room! So warm and cozy! Additional Christmas decor made our stay so festive. Our hostess, Carolyn, was VERY responsive to a couple of questions we had. Although it was REALLY cold and snowy when we stayed, I can imagine the big back yard would be great for kids to play in during those appropriate months, along with sitting around the campfire in the provided fire pit. The dining room table is HUGE and we used that to make Christmas candies while we were there. We stay in a lot of VRBO's and this is right at the top of our experiences. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this home.

Cherry Valley June 2024

My family and another family were in town for a lacrosse tournament at MercyHealth SportsCore #2 (an easy 10-15 minute drive). This VRBO was delightful. Super clean 3 bedroom with 2 full bathrooms, big washer and dryer, big backyard, and a spacious kitchen that was well labeled and easy to navigate. Great communications from our host. We had no issues at all, but I feel like if we had contacted the host about a problem, it would have been resolved quickly. We loved the one block walk on brick roads to the heart of Cherry Valley and the local restaurants. We would stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

Charming Cherry Valley Home

We have visited Cherry Valley many times over the years to visit family and now that our family has grown we needed our own space. This home was perfect! Right on the brick road, you are in the heart of charming Cherry Valley in walking distance to many local businesses and a quick drive into the greater Rockford area. The home was immaculate and beautifully curated but still family friendly with toys provided and outlet plugs! So thoughtful. The owners have taken such great care to make your stay easy, everything is extremely well labeled with information and instructions throughout the house. It is a historic home, so the stairs were a bit narrow and steep just something to keep in mind for those who might have mobility issues or smaller children. Thank you for a spectacular stay!
