A Beautiful Escape By The Riverside!

This house was built in 1916 and has recently been beautifully renovated. This property was once considered one of Rockford's Mansions because of its large accommodating 3 story size. Come enter the tranquility that this property provides from its riverside views to its endless entertainment possibilities. The moment you drive through the gates and down the tree lined driveway; you know that you have been transferred to a private retreat where you can relax from the city. Situated so close to the Arboretum where many wedding events take place, this property is the ultimate choice for bridal and groom parties to come together for wedding activities. This property can house up to 15 guests for a comfortable socially distanced event and the hosting possibilities are endless from having get togethers, executive extended stays, to a romantic getaway for two; this property will not disappoint.

The dining room can seat 10-12 people easily, the living room is spacious with a fireplace, lots of seating with access to Roku and leads to a beautiful heated/air-conditioned sun porch with a spectacular view.

This home is equipped with central air, panoramic windows throughout, and 110-year-old wood floors throughout.

This was an amazing property! There was so much common space - multiple different rooms all with a wonderful ambience. The bedrooms were all beautifully decorated. The property itself right on the river was amazing. The host and hostess were easy to contact and so accommodating. We had all the utensils, wine, glasses, K cups, and they even left us a welcoming bottle of wine. The Wi-Fi worked wonderfully and having three different floors gave plenty of privacy. We would definitely rent this property again!
