Great location right on the river
We really enjoyed our short weekend stay. The owner is really nice and easy to reach if need anything. If you’re a fan of fishing you can do so right from the house deck.

Comfortable riverfront getaway
The place has its quirks, but it’s very clean and cozy and quite restful, with lots of spaces to relax indoors and out. Very convenient to town, with nice neighbors and lots of wildlife to enjoy.

Great hideaway!
A great place if you are looking to get away. We were there for a high school reunion. The only problem was lack of cell service.

Cozy riverside hideaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Beds were comfy, the riverside deck was our favorite place to relax! Got to grill our dinners and make s’mores around the fire pit. The place was exactly what we were looking for! Thanks Tanzie!

Tanzie was helpful and responsive, a great host. The location and house were exactly how represented online, and was a very nice "break" from my normal schedule! Wonderful family time...

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.

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.

This home was perfect, beautiful, clean and so comfortable to stay at!
This was a perfect getaway house for my girlfriends and I for the weekend. The view outside is breathtaking. The inside of the home was clean and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and pillows. The owner was very kind and responded quickly to questions. The town was very charming. We will be visiting this home again!

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!

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.

Peaceful and lovely
We were so happy spending a long weekend here. Everything was just right in the house, including sanitizing spray and hand sanitizer left out for us. The air conditioning kept it cool and the kitchen had all the cookware, dishes & utensils we needed to cook for ourselves all weekend. And the deck is an absolute treat. We spent hours out there watching the river go by. Highly recommended!

Just about Perfect!
The owner was an easy and great communicator, the kitchen was well equipped, the views were spectacular, we even fished off the deck. The only drawback, one bathroom, and almost no internet. On second thought - almost no internet may have been a Benefit! Thanks Tanzie! We will be back next year.

River house
Based on photos it appeared the river side of the house was sand / Beach and the kids could play in the river / Beach at the house. It is rock and not easy access to the river. We improvised and still had a good time and were able to canoe the river. Do your research of what to do before arriving as you don't get good internet reception at the house. We had to talk to many locals to find good places to go and attractions to visit. It may be good for the owner to have a good of thing to do at the house that guests can loom at. Overall we had a good stay with young children bit had to find things to do on the fly.

Girls Weekend
This was the perfect spot to have our girls weekend getaway. The deck and view were amazing. We had a great time and had everything we needed. Although there was no WIFI it was great to get everyone off the grid.
