Thank you so much for the wonderful home you provided for us! The property was very clean and comfortable. Beds were amazing! We had plenty of room for 8 adults and 2 babies. We were very comfortable. Enjoyed our stay and had room to have family that lives in town over. Thank you again!

We were visiting Grand Detour to celebrate our sons engagement and were delighted to find this home in Oregon only 10 minutes away from the festivities! The deck overlooking the Rock River was a wonderful place to start every morning with a cup of coffee and the family room with comfortable and plentiful couches was a relaxing place to unwind after a day on the river. Thanks to Nick for detailed directions from Chicago and his quick response to our thermostat assistance! We appreciated all the amenities this home had to offer.

Very comfortable, very relaxing,
very clean, comfortable and spacious home. Lots of space for everyone (inside and out) and just about everything you could need to make your stay great. Nick is a great host and was very prompt in responding to all inquiries. Can't say enough about the surrounding area. A few state parks and forests are within a 15 minute drive. The Rock River is just outside the house. Great place to relax and spend some time in nature. Would gladly stay here again.

Great place with very nice views of the river. The kitchen is particularly well appointed compared to many places I've stayed. It's a very tranquil location with a lot of bird watching, if that's your thing.

The property is beautiful and the home well maintained. We met to enjoy nature and to do some holiday baking. The setting is everything you could hope for - very peaceful with gorgeous views. The kitchen is very well stocked and a great gathering place. The bathrooms are amazing - especially the showers! Everyone wants to come back!

Lovely and comfortable property. This was a perfect location for Oregon's Autumn on Parade weekend. It was close to the festival and offered a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. We enjoyed our stay and would rent again!

Very relaxing place during a very stressful and emotional time. Rented for my family to be together during my father's funeral. Would highly recommend also as a great vacation place. I would like to go back with my family to spend more time and explore the area more.

Excellent communication and pre-trip information. Girls weekend Kayaking on the Rock River. Large house, comfy beds great outdoor space in a rural setting. Highly recommend the Rock River for kayaking with White Pelican in Oregon too.
Kelly H - July 2021 5 Stars
We had a great stay at Nick’s river cabin! The house was spotlessly clean and there was plenty of space for our family to gather and spend time together. The house was well stocked with all kitchen needs and the outdoor area was beautiful as well. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck! Close to canoe rental and fishing at Castle Rock State Park and a small grocery store in Oregon. I would definitely recommend Nick’s place for a relaxing weekend away.
Dan H - June 2021 5 Stars
Great opportunity for people from the city to get away for a few days. Expansive deck and a lot of air-conditioned space inside when the heat became too much. Check in process was very straightforward, Nick is a very responsive communicator.
Laura D - May 2021 5 Stars
Great for a bigger/medium group looking for privacy and open space! Highly recommend the kayaking trip offered nearby and just hanging out on the property! “Thanks Nick - we had a great time!”

My family had a fantastic long weekend. The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. It has a gorgeous view from the large patio. We enjoyed the campfire under the starry sky. It’s location near hiking trails in castle rock state park is excellent. The owner responded to all communication and even gave great tips about where to go in town. We hope to return next fall!
Matt C - Sept 2020 5 Stars
Nick’s place is great, perfect for our group of friends who wanted a peaceful off-the-grid, long weekend getaway. It’s a big and great space with four large bedrooms and a big and cozy lounge area, kitchen and dining room, all stocked with anything you might need. The outdoor spaces are amazing, a great deck with lots of comfy furniture and a fire pit set across the yard with some great adirondack chairs around it. About a 10 minute drive into town makes it remote but easy to access things you need. And the river views are great! I would definitely go back here.
Sean M - June 2020 5 Stars
This place has all the amenities for adults looking to unwind in seclusion. We absolutely loved the living room, surrounded by trees and partially dark in the daytime which was super cozy. The process of renting/checking in will be timely and you have to print out and sign documents to return. Wood and internet are extra. Nick is a good responder.

The Home I Wish We Had !! Quiet, peaceful, on a river., Back to Nature serenity, perfect for reading, writing, photography. Acres of private land, BBQ on deck, personal campfire area "in house" fire place. Truly a Home We Wish We Owned, that good, no exaggeration. We shall Return.

The property and home was everything it was advertised to be. We didn’t get to utilize all the great outdoor amenities, but the house itself was fantastic. Anything and everything you would ever need (along with things you didn’t know you needed) were available. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows. They had fans in each room, which was important to us for sleeping. Anything and everything you would ever need in the kitchen. Bathrooms were great as well. Showers and water pressure were like heaven to me. As said in other reviews the cell service wasn’t great, but we were ok with disconnecting. We managed fine with what service we got on and off. Owners stayed in contact and were available if we needed them. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Beautiful. We gathered for our annual girls trip- friends for 30 years. Excellent communication with host, exquisite views, top of the line everything in the home, simply & fabulously decorated. We all slept like babies- the beds are top notch. Love the deck & firepit. Everything about this rental is cozy, cozy, cozy. Top notch.

Great escape with friends and great place to have a fire and hang out for the weekend.
Matt D - August 2019 5 Stars
Great place that I would definitely consider visiting again in the future. The deck and outdoor space is excellent, bedrooms are comfortable, place is large, and easy access to canoe/kayak outfitters, etc. in Oregon. Exactly what we were looking for.

I rented this property along with six friends for a weekend retreat. The place was everything as advertised: clean, quiet, and beautiful. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Terrific Home. The owners have gone above and beyond to try to anticipate every need or want.

Lovely escape from the city. Great property and great experience. Would recommend to small groups or families trying to get away.
Brian W. – Jun 2019 5 Stars
This place was perfect for our guys’ weekend. The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning worked great. The interior was well appointed with some nice upgrades and included everything we needed to cook and enjoy our time together. Sitting around the fire pit late into the night was fantastic. We didn’t see or hear anyone else the entire weekend, so it definitely provided a private, secluded feeling. We also weren’t bothered by mosquitoes at all, but the gnats were a little pesky at times during the humid summer days. The location was very convenient and just a short ride away from activities like kayaking, which we took advantage of. The Super-Valu grocery store in town is excellent. We would definitely go back and stay here again. Next time we would purchase the WiFi option as cell service was very spotty for all our carriers.
