Bringing in 60 at the Sedona!
The stunning Sedona of Rockford truly is a hidden gem. I wanted a venue to celebrate a big birthday with my family and closest friends. The primary goal was to host 50 people utilizing the beautiful outdoor spaces this property offered as well as have space for my immediate family to stay the night and enjoy the amenities this home offered. It met every expectation and more!! My guests were in awe at this spectacular home where there’s something unique every where you looked. From the gorgeous furnishings and decor to the fun arcades the kids enjoyed to the outdoor cantina that served as a fun space to listen to music, the Sedona was simply exceptional in every way! I would highly recommend for a party or event 50 people or under. It’s perfect. Marlene the owner was so friendly and accommodating and the property manager, Gia was always a phone call or text away. Our theme was Fiesta and it fit so well with the overall motif of the Sedona! I will be booking this property again!! Cheryl K. Cherry Valley, IL

Great Rockford Staycation!
The Sonoma House captured my attention by the vibrant photos in its listing, but seeing it in person was even more captivating! Calling it "eclectic" is an understatement, but the house has definite style, even swagger! It boasts a confident, distinctive, and captivating style which made it perfect for our group to have a great time.

Is truly a hidden gem
This home is decorated amazingly, from details in fireplace and layout to all the various decor throughout, so much so that in our 3 day stay we noticed decor we missed even on day 3. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The home is very private, even the place to park is inside a fence making it feel private and secure. We will return.

PERFECT Bachelorette Getaway!
The house was exactly as the pictures show, but even more fantastic. The extravagance could not be captured in photos. We loved exploring the many things to see and do, from the hottub to the gameroom and many amazing photo opportunities. The house was impeccably cleaned, and the beds were so soft. I wanted to enjoy every room! My ONLY grievances were: how close the neighbors were to the house, but the privacy fence and high walls made us feel the perfect kind of isolated. And that the house would only allow 9 or 10 people if everyone was willing to share beds. It fit 5 of us more comfortably. Otherwise: Highly highly highly suggest staying here with your girls!!! Thank you for the wonderful stay!!

Great house, lots of loving care lavished on it by the owner. Many rental homes feel cold and sterile but this felt like a home, with all the kitchen supplies and amenities you would want. The decor is inviting and fun, and the arcade downstairs a huge hit. And it has a hot tub! Marlene was great to work with. Overall top notch rental experience

Staying at Sedona of Rockford was truly special. My sister and I brought our teens for a last getaway before the start if school and we all could not say enough about the house and backyard. It was like being on a European movie set. Magical. We had a fire, enjoyed the hot tub, and loved exploring this magical property! Can't wait to return.

Awesome and accommodating
We were going to be in town for our daughters wedding and came across this property when looking for a place to stay. The pictures intrigued me but it seemed to good to be true. I booked it to save my dates but still wanted to see it prior to holding our daughters rehearsal dinner there. We were traveling to the area to visit the wedding venue and I reached out to see if there was any way we could come see the house prior to our stay. Let me just say that Marlene was nothing less than gracious and accommodating. She met us at the house between guests the same day. The pictures do not do it justice. It is decorated beautifully and designed with little sitting areas and nooks to gather. The backyard is amazing! From the Cantina and Tiki bar to the hot tub and fire pit and chiminea area. We were hooked. Marlene even allowed us to start setting up outside at 1:00 while they were cleaning from the previous guests. The day of the rehearsal the weather didn't cooperate at first and we ended up blowing a fuse. Gigi arrived within 20 minutes to save the day. Thank you GiGi. Thankfully the weather cleared up around 9:00 PM and we were able to enjoy the backyard. The rehearsal dinner was a casual cookout complete with a s'mores bar,drinks in the cantina, agroup dip in the hot tub for the bridal party and game room competitions for the groomsmen. We ended up having the entire bridal party stay with us. We loved our stay and would gladly return to enjoy this unique gem.
