I loved this little house and the view of the Fox River. Since I grew up in the area, it's the perfect spot to stay when i come down from Wisconsin to visit family.

We had a lovely time at this sweet house on the river while in town for a wedding. Very peaceful neighborhood and comfortable accommodations. Would stay here again if we are ever in the area in the future.

We stayed for two weeks over the holidays visiting family nearby. Home was great. Very clean and owners were very responsive to any questions we had. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was large and clean. We could occasionally hear people in the unit below at night, but not enough to keep us awake. Overall, the place was great and I'd rent it again.

The stay was set up nice. Really no complaints other than only one bed room had a tv so the other guest had to sit in the living room the majority of the night. Other than that no Complaints

The house was wonderful! We were in town for a school conference I had to attend. It was close to the location I had to be at while also offering privacy. Had an issue with the door that was fixed immediately and was kept in touch with about anything we may need. Great experience!

This property is convenient to Geneva where we spent most of our time. It’s almost impossible to find a one story property with 2 full bathrooms plus a washer/dryer. The owners were responsive to our questions and concerns plus the family is on property. We will definitely stay again when we return to the area! Even the car rental location was only 10 minutes away…..
