A Beautiful Escape By The Riverside!

This house was built in 1916 and has recently been beautifully renovated. This property was once considered one of Rockford's Mansions because of its large accommodating 3 story size. Come enter the tranquility that this property provides from its riverside views to its endless entertainment possibilities. The moment you drive through the gates and down the tree lined driveway; you know that you have been transferred to a private retreat where you can relax from the city. Situated so close to the Arboretum where many wedding events take place, this property is the ultimate choice for bridal and groom parties to come together for wedding activities. This property can house up to 15 guests for a comfortable socially distanced event and the hosting possibilities are endless from having get togethers, executive extended stays, to a romantic getaway for two; this property will not disappoint.

Consider this property for that perfect private getaway for business or for pleasure. This 3 story home has 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor, 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor, 1 full bath with Jacuzzi and separate shower in the master, 1/2 bath on the main level, jetted Jacuzzi on the main level, clear river views from the kitchen's breakfast nook, screened in porch off the master bedroom overlooking the river, with table and chairs for a quaint quiet moment. The kitchen is equipped with a double stove, dishwasher, gas range, microwave, double door refrigerator with ice maker, granite countertops, and professional grade kitchen appliances. The dining room can seat 10-12 people easily, the living room is spacious with a fireplace, lots of seating with access to Roku and leads to a beautiful heated/air-conditioned sun porch with a spectacular view.

This home is equipped with central air, panoramic windows throughout, and 110-year-old wood floors throughout. During the warmer months enjoy the outside amenities such as the grill area, fishing, and boat access. When it comes to access to the city, this home is a 2-minute drive to the Arboretum; a beautiful park popular for weddings. Take a short drive to the BMO center for local events and to the Coronado Theater for a show. There are also many casual and fine dining areas to access in Rockford’s River District.

Rockford Friends Weekend
The house is roomy, clean and fun. For reference for anyone renting in the future, there is one full bath on the main floor, one full bath on the second that you need to walk through the master to access and one full bath on the 3rd floor in the hall between the two bedrooms on that floor. Can't say enough good things about Barnstormer Distillery - a must visit if you rent this home.

Perfect Labor Day Weekend
I can’t even begin to say enough great things about this house and the host! Ron was wonderful to work with! He was so easy and helpful to communicate with! The house is absolutely stunning! Ron provides you with lots of different activities to enjoy! The game basement was so much fun! My friends and I enjoyed playing all the different games down there! The outside has plenty of places to sit and relax. Outdoor games, firewood, and a gas grill are all provided by the host. Inside the house, there are plenty of amenities supplied (like lots of towels, the bathrooms were stocked with different necessities, and there was ample kitchen items). I’ve stayed at lots of rental homes, and this one has exceeded all my expectations! I can’t recommend this house enough! We will be back for sure!

Peaceful, elegant restorative gem of a house
I am a tour manager for a country artist with a 5 piece band. We had a day off before playing at the Japanese Gardens and we decided to stay at Ron and Karen’s. This place is UNBELIEVABLE. Gorgeous master suite, grounds, river view, tiled screened in porches, terraces, etc. All communication with Ron and Karen was easy and clear. They were incredibly generous hosts and came to see our concert the next day. We even had a very nice late night hang with the neighbors who are super friendly. I hope to stay here many more times.
