Peaceful Vacation Spot
Beautiful property! This was our 3rd year staying here. It’s a lovely home with everything you could possibly need. Extremely clean & comfortable. Plenty of room for the 4 adults in our group, with great parking for the boat too.

Guys hunting trip
My husband and a friend take a hunting trip to IL each fall. This was the first time staying at this home. The home was clean and beds were very comfortable. The home had everything that they needed and more than they expected, like breakfast fixings, pancake mix, eggs, milk, and juice in the fridge. The host was very quick to respond to any questions. Already looking at booking in the future. Wish all VRBO owners took pride in their properties like these do.

The property was perfect. The house is spacious and comfortable. The large yard in a rural street is ideal for pets and our Vizsla loved running around and exploring the yard. Rend lake is vey close and a beautiful recreational area to explore.

Relaxing getaway
This was a great place to stay for our fishing trip to Rend Lake. The weather and the fish didn’t cooperate as much as we would have liked but the house was better than expected! Very clean and in a nice location. The garage was a huge bonus!

We Will Be Back
This house was very clean and so convenient for my family this Christmas. The house is as advertised in the listing. We had no issues with anything. Communication was great with the owner. We were even able to arrive a day earlier than planned due to the winter storm that hit this Christmas. We will stay again next time we are home to visit my family.

Quiet and close
Very enjoyable. House was clean and well equipped. Bed was comfortable and the electronic offerings on the tv were quite extensive. Not a big fan of flannel sheets but they were much better than I thought they would be. Very large yard our two small dogs enjoyed patrolling and exploring on their walks. The fire pit was unused by us but looked like it would have been a nice place to spend a cool night, of which we had several. Close to Rend Lake golf resort and state park and less expensive than the lodge, cabins, or condos that were onsite. Would enjoy staying here again.
