Summary: We had a great stay with Rebecca and Michael along the Rock River. The property has a wonderful woodland feel with many trails and personal touches that make it a truly unique and special place to visit. The house has all needed supplies, and many thoughtful extras, including kayaks, bikes, and a closet full of board games. The hosts even took time one day to give us a late afternoon float trip on the River to view scenery, wildlife, and to share some interesting local history. Trail lighting and spectacular flowers enhance the whole experience. Michael’s custom woodworking touches are a spectacular feature of the house with each room having an individual theme in specially selected woods that match perfectly. Every aspect of the property is well executed! Among the best rental stays in our personal history, our highest recommendation!

Summary: Our stay here was wonderful!! Such a beautiful place with lovely hosts!! We will definitely be back again if it’s available! The woodwork is amazing!! We enjoyed the trails, treehouse, cabin, beautiful river, walking trail nearby, and loved the location being central to many different places. We would have loved to stay longer!!
Claire May 14, 2025 06:22:30 AM
Summary: It was wonderful! The space had everything we could possible need or even want, to make our stay comfortable, quiet, and peaceful. The hosts, Reb and Mike, were so accommodating and kind, and the location and scenery were exactly what we love: natural, & abundant with wildlife.
Kim F. May 5, 2025 11:26:00 PM
Summary: I can’t say enough how great this house is and the owners are amazing! They have gone above and beyond to make this a wonderful home to stay in and an amazing place to visit. There is so many cute and fun things to do. A must stay and will absolutely return!
Kim S. May 2, 2025 11:18:09 PM
Summary: So much love and attention was given to all the little details of this wonderful space!
Steve W. Jul 21, 2024 04:56:24 AM
Summary: We brought our 3 teenage boys (who are not easy to please), and everybody had a wonderful time. The place is incredibly clean and the woodworking all around the house and trails is beautiful. Every night we had a fire by the river with drinks and listened to the sounds of nature. We saw deer, pelicans, frogs, etc. The boys caught a ton of fish each evening. We went to the Dells for a day, which is only about an hour away. Downtown Jefferson is also a cool little area The hosts are wonderful people who make sure your stay is great, but you really also don't even know that they are there. We have rented places twice a summer for the past 10-12 years and this was easily one of the best locations for the price.
Tamara M. Apr 28, 2024 11:21:57 AM
Summary: Lovely location. Attention to detail. Beautifully decorated. More than welcoming and comfortable. Gracious, kind, helpful hosts. Would definitely be my first choice of stay when returning to the area.
Kristen Apr 4, 2024 01:41:33 PM
Summary: Our family of 4 had a great time. The place was spotless, kitchen was well stocked, and lots of good magazines, books, and games to enjoy. We really enjoyed walking around the property and sitting in the little cabin especially during the rainy and cool weather. Michael’s woodwork throughout the property was amazing to see and enjoy. Michael and Rebecca go above and beyond to make your stay great. They helped carry our luggage down the stairs in the rain and took extra time to help mail us an item we left behind. Highly recommend if you want a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature.
Andy L. Jan 3, 2024 11:07:15 AM
Summary: Exceeded our expectations for a weekend anniversary getaway. Thoughtfulness and great attention to detail in all aspects. The interior is beautiful, the pictures don't really do it justice. And the outdoors, with the river and trails and cabinette, were just as nice. This is a really special place and Rebecca and Michael were great hosts.
