Other things to note:
🆔****Guest Verification Required:** To ensure a safe stay for everyone, guests may be required to provide a copy of a government-issued photo ID for identity verification prior to check-in.**
⏰A late check-out fee of $100 per hour will be charged for any unplanned late checkouts.
-->An unplanned late check-out is any departure after 10:00 AM that has not been approved by the host before 9:00 PM on the day prior to check-out.
--> If arranged and approved in advance, we may be able to accommodate late check-outs or early check-ins for $25 per hour, depending on availability. Please message us ahead of time to check availability, as this is not always possible.
🌳Our lawn service provider typically comes by to mow on Mondays or Tuesdays (weather permitting—if it rains, the service is rescheduled to the next dry day). We would also appreciate it if guests could park in front of the house during these days, if possible.
🫙Trash pickup in our area is on Thursdays. No action needed from guests (FYI the truck can come as early as 6 AM so if you happen to hear a little noise early Thursday morning, that’s just the garbage truck stopping by).
🛏️ We provide high density orthopedic-style firm mattresses
🎥We have 4 actively recording external cameras for everyone’s safety (1 in the Driveway and 1 for each outside door), as well as a noise decibel monitoring device in the property. Please refer to Safety & Property>Safety Devices found at the bottom of the listing page for details.
🚂 The home is located near a train track, and trains pass by between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. We provide earplugs for your comfort, but personally, we hardly notice any noise while inside the house.
🌊Being we have direct access to the river from our backyard, children under 18 years will require constant adult supervision. By agreeing to rent this home, you acknowledge the risks that you and your guests may face during your stay and accept full responsibility for them.
🏕️Rockford is known as the Forest City - nature is everywhere! While we maintain the property with regular professional pest control, the occasional insect can still make its way indoors—especially during seasonal changes. If you happen to notice anything during your stay, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to help and can quickly provide solutions.
🐾We understand that pets are part of the family, and we welcome 2 dogs in this house ($50 per night). Please note that at this time we’re only able to accommodate dogs.
🛑 We want to make sure this property is a good fit for you. Please read through our HOUSE RULES + ABOUT THIS PROPERTY for further information.
**The entire home is yours to enjoy. The only area off-limits are the 4 cabinets in the laundry room, which will be locked.

Quiet. Clean and comfortable for us and the dog. Well thought out and personal touches as well. Nice view of the river...even at night because it is across from a beach access. Any type of entertainment you want it's there. If you have kids you would probably never see them because of the options. Michelle maintained responsive communication if we needed something. Wish it was a bit warmer to enjoy outside a bit more. Thank you so very much, Judi

This was honestly one of the best stays we’ve had. From the moment we booked, the host made everything feel easy and welcoming. Communication was quick, kind, and genuinely helpful—they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and it really showed throughout the entire stay.When we arrived, the place was even better than expected. It was spotless, comfortable, and had such a warm, inviting feel to it. You can tell the host truly cares about the experience they provide. Every little detail was thought through, which made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our time without worrying about anything.The location was perfect—peaceful and quiet, but still close enough to everything we wanted to do. It felt like the perfect balance of convenience and a true getaway.What really made this stay special, though, was the host. Their hospitality stood out in a big way. It didn’t feel transactional at all—it felt like they genuinely wanted us to have a great experience, and we absolutely did.We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already talking about coming back. If you’re thinking about booking this place, just do it—you won’t regret it.

Michelle spent time to make my stay personal by including tiny and impactful details such as a handwritten note and snacks. She was also very responsive during messaging.
