Wedding and 21st Birthday
Impeccable and lovely home. Good kitchen, GREAT dining room, and wonderful outdoor grounds. Game room is excellent working condition and lots of fun. fit an finish of the rooms and bathrooms was excellent. So many good places to gather en masse or have small groups for coffee or drinks. Would definitely rent again but for longer!!! View to river is majestic!!

Perfect for a weekend get away
We are a group of 10 and the house was perfect for us. Lots of room to watch TV, play games, parking off the street. Used the game room in the basement and the cornered patio by the water. The host was quick to respond to our questions

Great family get-together!
My family came together to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday & this was a wonderful home for all of us! The game room downstairs was fully utilized & the jukebox was a total hit :) We also took full advantage of the beautiful backyard playing corn hole & badminton while having a BBQ & catching up with each other. The only "downside" to the home was that there is no bedroom on the main floor. My Dad can no longer do stairs that well, so we ended up using an air mattress on the main floor which worked for him just fine. I will mention, there is a separate guest house that I didn't realize we could reserve. So, next time we will opt to include this with our rental so mom & dad can enjoy a good night sleep in their own bed. Overall, we had an amazing time & truly enjoyed our stay! Thank you to our hosts for their warm hospitality.

Lovely home with all the amenities
This home has the charm and beauty of days gone by and all the amenities of today! Very well stocked kitchen and bathrooms and many outdoor items/activities to keep you busy in the huge yard overlooking the river. Mr. Schwartz was responsive and checked in to make sure we had all needs met. Our family reunion was a great success because of this home away from home. Thank you!

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!

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.
