Getaway Cabin on the Rock River, enjoy kayaking, canoeing and fishing

The property is located on the Rock River in Oregon, IL and is perfect for group gatherings up to 8 people. Enjoy fishing, kayaking, or canoeing on the Rock River. Golfing at Silverridge Golf course is about 10 minutes away. Like hiking? There are multiple parks close by from Castle Rock, Lowden State Park and White Pines. These are beautiful state parks that could take days and days to do all the trails. The house is 2 ½ miles from the town of Oregon which has multiple restaurants, bars, a grocery store and a Dollar General store for any emergency necessities that may be needed. Other activities close by; horseback riding, golf, and you can enjoy a lunch or a dinner cruise on the Rock River.

The cabin on the river is a must see. If you need to get away from it all, then this is the home for you. There’s a full-size kitchen with all the amenities to cook meals, an outdoor gas grill, and multiple decks to enjoy the views of the river. If the weather is not cooperating and you just want to watch TV, you can pop in a movie in the DVD, or watch TV with Roku next to a cozy gas fireplace. There are plenty of games to choose from and lots of books if you just want to relax with a good read.

The cabin has 2 bedrooms with queen beds on the 1st floor as well as a bathroom w/jacuzzi tub. There’s a bedroom w/2 twins beds upstairs along with a bathroom and a loft area that houses another queen bed.

Feel free to bring your canoes/kayaks or rafts as there is a launch pad up by the dam in town which you can drift down till you arrive at the house. What better way to enjoy your day than to float down the river.

If you're an early riser, you can enjoy seeing the sunrise. Or, enjoy a beautiful sunset at the end of the day all from the back deck. Into bird watching? There's hardly a day that goes by that you won't see an eagle flying along the river.

If you are looking for places to stay for a reunion or wedding, there are multiple houses close by within walking distance that can accommodate additional travelers. Please see below for additional rental homes:

Cozy Thanksgiving
This was a cozy place to spend Thanksgiving weekend after visiting family in Rockford. I was craving the crackle and pop of a wood burning fireplace and arrived with plenty of firewood. The fireplace is GAS which was a surprise. Besides that minor let down it was a comfortable weekend and the river is beautiful. Great shower, good kitchen. It was frigid during our stay so we didn't get to take of advantage of the parks in the area, but there are plenty of options for outdoor activities nearby. Next time :)

Ladies Retreat
Our stay at the Getaway Cabin was a delightful experience. The beauty surrounding the Cabin was overwhelming. The sunrise and sunsets on the river were miraculous! The home was just as extraordinary! It was charming and cozy! We had everything we needed! The kitchen and coffee bar space was a main gathering area for us as well as the outdoor kitchen area. We had a group of 9 ladies, spending the weekend together for a spiritual retreat. We had plenty of intimate spaces to gather together in conversation and fellowship indoors and outdoors. There was also more than enough space for each of us to find our own little spot when we needed some quiet time. It was a joyful and peaceful getaway. We can not recommend the Getaway Cabin, highly enough. We are already making plans to return next year!

Get-away Cabin on the Rock
We enjoyed 3 nights at the Getaway Cabin which was rustic and relaxing in a beautiful location along the Rock River. We are all advacing in age (in our 70's) and had a little trouble navigating the open staircase. The beds were very comfortable but one was very high off the floor and hard to get into (we got a step-stool after the first night and solved that problem.) All in all, it was a fun and relaxed environment and well-equipped to satisfy all our needs. We enjoyed our visit very much!

Peaceful Getaway
My siblings and I chose this property for our annual siblings weekend. The cabin was clean, welcoming, and provided everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time together. We went into town for dinner, went across the street and hiked the trails at Castle rock state Park, and caught several fish right from the deck of the cabin. Would recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a pleasant place to gather and relax.

Perfect Cozy Cabin for Family Holiday Visit
This is my second time staying at this Rock River cabin. Our first visit was this past summer, and of course it was great being outside and on the river. This visit was for a family Thanksgiving trip, and we took full advantage of the warm, cozy gas fireplace in the family room. It was fantastic! So comfortable and inviting, and we slept great in the beds, too. The kitchen is one of the best stocked in any VRBO locations I have visited. JoAnn is a wonderful host. We will be back!!

Sisters and brother go somewhere for a long weekend every year. This was a wonderful choice for us. The house is very well layed out with everything you need. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms (very comfy beds) have it all. Loved the view and the fireplaces. The deck is awesome! Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be back. Joann is great to work with too!

Beautiful view
We really enjoyed sitting on the deck or enclosed porch and viewing the river. It was quiet and peaceful. The cabin was clean and fairly comfortable. It could definitely use an update-carpet replaced, bedroom drapes replaced, patio door repaired, better lighting and especially a walkway from driveway to door. We had to traipse through the lawn to and from car-which is uneven ground and wet when rainy. Not a short distance either. Overall we had a nice stay and the location on the river was excellent. But like I said, needs some repairs and updates.
