While staying here I was reminded me of the cute, old-fashioned Scottish hostels I stayed in while traveling abroad, except with private rooms. I slept very comfortably. Margaret is an excellent host, and she is very accommodating and welcoming. The location is also good. It is quite close to downtown Beloit, WI, which offers plenty to do. If I am ever in the area again, I plan on staying here.

Kerry and Cindy were the perfect hosts. They were kind, helpful, responsive and respected our privacy. The apartment had everything you could think of needing and was clean, bright and spacious. There was a beautiful view to the backyard and field beyond. The hot tub was a fabulous feature which we enjoyed at the end of a long day. There was also a fire pit with all the needed tools and ingredients for smores. The country neighbourhood was safe, quiet and pleasant. It was the perfect stay for my son and I. apartment was stocked with everything you could think of needing and was clean, spacious and although it was situated in the basement or lower level, it had many large windows which let in lots of light and looked out onto a beautiful backyard

Stay at there if you possibility can; great experience!!!

As this was my very first airbnb experience I was quite nervous. Not knowing what it would be like to stay in someone else's house while they are there was a bit scary. I was with two other girlfriends for a relaxing girls weekend. After meeting both Cindy and Kerry we all relaxed. They are very kind people who clearly would go out of their way for you. Kerry even offered to get the three of us girls ice cream when he was out running. The home was absolutely beautiful inside and out. There was a very welcoming chalkboard sign with our name on it and a Packer bucket full of goodies waiting for us. She also had out supplies for s'mores and pudgy pies. And yes Cindy, we watched one of the movies that you had selected for us, it was a good choice. Thank you!! I would highly suggest this home if you are looking for a get away. The home was very well maintained and cleaned. The kitchen was fully stocked, towels for outside water play and showers. There was even some items in the fridge available for our use. We did not use the pool because of the weather, but most certainly will for our next visit. The jacuzzi was an awesome way to end an enjoyable day. There is no doubt that if you choose this for your get away that you will be highly satisfied as well. Thank You Kerry and Cindy, Mishelle, Lake Mills, WI Connie, Combined Locks, WI Robin, WI

From the very first moment we spoke to Cindy she treated us like honored guests and family I have stayed Five Star Hotels that didn't treat us as well. I would not only stay there again, I will and have already recommended this place to everyone. Beautiful Home, secluded back yard, hot tub was wonderful and like I said. The entire experience was one that I will remember fondly forever.

Great host, super clean, & all around a great place to stay! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! The hosts were extremely helpful with any issues we had!

Cindy and Kerry are the ultimate airbnb hosts. They are extremely kind, welcoming, and accommodating especially when it came getting the apartment ready for my 16 month old (there was a high chair, cradle, and even (URL HIDDEN) sweet!!) The apartment is immaculate, well set up for guests, and less than a 10 min drive to Beloit College where my son goes to school.

We just experienced amazing getaway but what made it even more perfect was Cidny and Kery with their hospitality. Amazing and good hearted people that take care of you like family. The place was so calm and relaxing,clean and welcoming and ready for our use. They went beyond their way to make sure we are settled,we arrived late in the night and they even stocked the fridge with goodies for us so we don't have to worry about stopping somewhere to pick up food. They started our bonfire and Cidny was so kind to even babysit our puppy Milo while we were outside enjoying their beautiful backyard. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a home away from home. We would truly be back.

Cindy's country retreat is everything as listed. The setting is serene and the hosts are welcoming. Truly a relaxing setting away from city life.

A wonderful place to stay, comfortable and centrally located. Laura is the best AirBnB host I've ever had.

Laura was a communicative and accommodating host and the location was incredibly convenient to the Beloit College campus. She made every effort to make certain my needs were met. The apartment was spacious, clean, and full of charm. I would happily stay here again if I return to Beloit!

This place is everything you're looking for in a quiet, clean, private and ageless getaway. Laura is very hospitable and very attentive and accommodating. Any questions I had, were answered swiftly and thoroughly. The location of the property is within walking distance to downtown and the college. Full kitchen, classic bathroom, spacious bedroom and a sitting area with TV and Roku connection. Better accommodations than a standard hotel.

Had a great stay at Laura's place. The location is excellent, the apartment was clean and organized, and Laura was very welcoming and in correspondence to make sure everything was going okay.

The host, Laura is wonderful , she made me feel welcome. The apartment is great, and comfortable. The neighborhood is lovely and close to campus. I highly recommend staying here.

Laura made us feel very welcomed, and was gracious. The place was very clean, and was described well. It's a great setting with lots of things to do within short bike rides.

Laura was well ahead of the game by asking what we may need as basic supplies in the apartment on checking in. And they were there. Well done Laura! The walk around by her husband was quick and thorough. The location was very good given we wanted to be close to the campus of Beloit College. Maybe 8 minutes walking at a leisurely pace. The apartment allowed us to entertain a few fellow alumni close to campus before main events so facilities like large refrigerator and decent coffee grinder/maker were important. We really needed the A/C since it was 95 deg F some of the time and it coped. A few more cups, glasses, plates and cutlery would help although I know the accommodation is meant to be for 2.

Laura was extremely cordial and helpful, both before and after I arrived. The apartment is in a great location if you are visiting Beloit College and want to be within walking distance of the college and the small downtown nearby. The apartment is charming and very comfortable, and Laura is a very thoughtful and considerate host. It was a great experience and I would definitely want to stay here again next time I visit. Thanks Laura!

Amazing place by the water. Toiletries stocked up, bed very comfortable definitely would come back.

Heidi was a wonderful host. Room was very clean. Also has a very nice view right on the river. Has all the amenities listed and some that are not. Will definitely stay here again if in the area.

Heidi's home was exactly what I needed for a week-long business trip to nearby Beloit, WI. Reasonably priced, clean, with a private entrance and a VERY comfortable bed. Heidi was very flexible with my late-night arrival each evening due to long work hours, and communication before and during the stay was excellent. I would stay here again without hesitation if I were ever to be back in the area.

Heidi' s place is nice quiet clean and comfortable! Heidi is super nice and considerable for guest. I had two great nights at your place. Will come back for my advanced open water and rescue certification. Thanks.

As the host, Heidi is professional, courteous, very attentive to the guests yet conscious of their privacy. We left a laptop charger in the room on check-out. Heidi did everything she could to make sure we get the charger back without any hassle. She's really kind and helpful. My wife and I stayed at Heidi's place for 3 nights and 4 days and totally enjoyed our stay there. The location is scenic at backyard and quiet and safe neighborhood around. We've made a couple of suggestions of improvement to Heidi to make it even more comfortable and convenient to further guests. We are sure Heidi will accept our suggestions and make the improvements we've suggested. We highly recommend Heidi's place. You'll not regret if you chose Heidi's place for your stay in the Rockford and vicinity area.

A great place to stay with everything you need. Heidi was wonderful and made sure all my needs were met while respecting my privacy.

Very quiet

Thorough and welcoming. The place is cozy, bed is comfortable.

Have to say this may be the best B&B - Everything EXCEEDED the description. Attention to details we never expected were there, fresh baked goods, fruit, snacks, juice in fridge. Bed and bath linen were top of the line, the beds were so very comfortable and the rooms were exquisitely decorated. The host was so very kind and gave us a lot of info about the area. We actually chose this place in part because it was enroute back to Chicago after we attended the football game in Madison. (Jaime waited up for us - it was a night game and we didn't get back until way past 1:30 in morning.) The other reasons were the good feedback from previous guests. No one will be disappointed staying with Jaime.

Jaime's Place was perfectly lovely! I slept better than I do at home! She is a wonderful hostess - thoughtful and kind. We enjoyed her home and would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Amazing space and very welcoming host. Really nicely decorated rooms and very spacious. Jaime is very responsive and made us feel at home. She also left us lots of great snacks and the rooms are nicely prepared with extra blankets, etc. cute neighborhood as well. Definitely recommended if you're looking to stop over in the Rockton area!

We had a great stay at Jaime's. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, providing snacks, coffee, and even chocolates by the beds. The loft is decorated beautifully and is impeccably clean. Jaime is kind, funny, and generous. She even gave us a ride into Beloit after we left our car there the previous night. One of the best AirBnBs I've ever stayed at.

Jaime was a wonderful host and her place was lovely! She provided us everything we needed and was very accommodating! She offered restaurant suggestions and directions, as needed. Her home is in great shape and immaculately clean. Thanks to Jaime and her German Shepherd, Isaac, for the great stay in Rockton! 10 out of 10, would recommend! :)

We just stayed here during a very short visit and loved the rooms and the host. It was very comfortable and private and Jaime was very thoughtful and welcoming. She stocked the fridge with cream for coffee, yogurt, granola, waters, and diet soda. She offered a variety of snacks and take away snack bags, filled dishes with candy, fruit, and Amish baked goods. On the bathroom door hung a basket filled with organic soaps (She let us take one home). I slept in the queen, so comfortable, my wife started there and ended up in the twin in the adjoining room (she says I snore), which she says was very comfortable as well. In the morning I noticed an old Life magazine in a glass cabinet with some other interesting books and enjoyed reading about a garden party in England in 1937. This would be our first choice for a place to stay next time we are in the area.

Wonderful space! I had a great stay at Jaime's house. Cute decorations, comfy beds, nice bathroom, and stocked fridge. Really great & would recommend!

The reservation was canceled 74 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Happy customer! Not only was communication with Jared a great help but the house was beautiful and very clean. The rooms were comfortable and the kitchen and living room felt like home. As if that wasn't enough the backyard and waters edge access blew us away. We enjoyed the fire pit and all roasted smores under the night sky. All in all a perfect vacation had by all, all expectations were met and then some! Already discussing a return visit in the future, thanks again Jared we had a blast.

This house is definitely set up for outdoor living and entertaining. The converted garage is a wonderful party space with a nice wood burning fire pit on the adjoining deck and stereo speakers for music. Jared was responsive to our questions and needs and, in general, the house was as described in the listing. One detail that might interest future renters is that one of the bedrooms (with two beds) is only accessible by going through another bedroom. I also want to note a safety issue that I think should be addressed before this house is rented again. It's one that is relatively easy to fix so I hope Jared will address it and then post that it's been fixed for future renters. There was no hand rail banister on the stairway to the second floor and the stair landing was uneven right at the top of the stairs. Everyone in the house - from my early 20s son to my 86 year old mother - thought this was an unsafe situation. This is the first time in all my AirBnB rentals that I have noted an issue such as this. Although I appreciate all the upsides of the AirBnB business model, one downside is that the rentals are not inspected for these types of potential safety issues. Thus, I believe it's an obligation of all travelers to note safety issues when we come upon one.

This house was amazing! Far better even than I expected. I went with a group of guys for my brother's bachelor party and it was the perfect place for us. We went fishing, and Jared has a ton of activities/ games in the backyard. The BBQ set-up is unparalleled, and it was a ton of fun cooking up a ton of meat. The house is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, and it is very homey. This place was amazing! Finally, Jared was great to communicate with. He responded promptly when I contacted him, gave us a lot of information about the place and area, and is a super nice guy.

This is the second time staying at Jared place and we absolutely loved! Smoked ribs and hung out in his huge yard with plenty of things to do. Strongly recommend it!!

We had a great and relaxing weekend here. We only used the simple BBQ grills but would have loved to have enough time to try the other equipment. The house is very appealing and we loved all the details and rustic feel. The TV is large and couches and beds are very comfy. One of the rooms (the one with the king and twin), you have to go through another room to get to it. It wasn't an issue for us but just wanted to mention in case there is someone who is looking for more privacy and doesn't want anyone walking through. The downtown area of Beloit has a very charming small-town feel, we really enjoyed it. There are some great places to get food too. Overall a great stay!

Jared was a wonderful host! He left a detailed description with everything about his place and grocery stores/restaurants in the area. I highly recommend checking this place out! If you love to smoke/grill food then this is the place for you!!!

The whole family had a great time at Jared's BBQ Ranch - swimming in the river, smoking a turkey, playing games out on the barbecue deck and just spending time together. The space is comfortable and cool! Everything was super clean and the linens lovely. The kitchen is GREAT. Jared took the time before we arrived and once we were there to make sure we knew where everything was and that we had access to everything we needed to make our multi-generational gathering of 8 a success.

We loved the peacefulness of the cottage. Starting with the warm welcome by the hosts to the array of wildlife we saw during our 3 night stay. We saw turtles, an Otter, a ferret, geese, mallards, storks, a bald eagle, and we heard the woodpecker but he wasn't cooperative so didn't get even a glimpse. My husband enjoyed fishing. We recommend Tina and Curt's place, they are wonderful hosts.

I loved the beloit get away!! Everything was great! Curt amazing person!!! Will return!

Such a wonderful home away from home! We loved sitting out by the river or within the beautiful screened in porch. Can't wait to come back!

Tina and Curt made us feel so welcome. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend or a more beautiful lication

Adorable.....The house is in perfect shape, clean, and comfy. I found wanting to spend more time by the river.....next time for sure. My first day in November (4th) was 70 degrees and they offered me a boat ride....How cool is that! Awesome!

This place is the best - so peaceful.

Tina made us feel like this was our home. Everything that we needed was available. The home was even better then what was posted. The water and sunset views were spectacular. We will be back!

Tina and Curt were wonderful communicators, sending helpful info to us about the area, providing recommendations on grocery stores and cafes, and also, writing some welcoming words to us for when we arrived, complete with snacks and mentions of recent sightings of wildlife. We felt very supported the entire time were there. Information on aspects of the house was posted prominently and clearly, and they had really thought about what guests staying in a strange home would need to know. We have stayed in many airbnb rentals, but this was by far our best experience.

My family absolutely loved the farm house. Leif and Tracy did an amazing job of making us feel welcomed. They left us a s'more kit that the kids gobbled up. We loved bonding around the bonfire all night. The house was super cozy and welcoming. They left great instructions for everything, it is so hard to believe it was their first time hosting. My family loved the place so much they already want to go back. It was a great time away from the city for us. They made bbq easy with the gas grill. My kids and dogs just loved running around and listening to stories under the stars in the night sky. Leif and Tracy responded very quickly to us, even though they were in Korea, even grandma stopped by and made sure we were ok. Thank you so much for becoming part of the airbnb community and sharing your home with us. Hope you guys travel some more so we can go back.

This was a great place to stay! A wonderful location in the country but a short drive to the town of Rockton with plenty of places to go. A nice big place with plenty of room for up to 12 to sleep. The large yard and the use of their canoes & kayak was a real treat too!

Our stay at this farm house was great!! The listing is very accurate and Leif and Tracy were extremely responsive even though they were on vacation also. I had a group of friends that had a function in Beloit and staying here made our trip far more enjoyable than staying in any hotel. We had a great time playing yard games and really enjoyed having a fire in the evening. I would definitely stay here again!

Where to even start. The whole experience was great. Plenty of beds for everyone, a cool garden shed for late night hang outs, a big outdoor fire pit, and a super friendly cat. Our group had an amazing time at Leif and Tracy's place. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be back.

This was a beautiful home. My family and I really enjoyed the spacious back yard, the shed, the rooms, etc. It's a great place to have a small family gathering. I used their home to host a Luau Party for 20-25 and it was just enough space for us. Because of the weather we wasn't able to use the bonfire outdoor but they also have the option to use the wood stove inside the shed. My nieces fell in love with the swing set that's set-up outside of the home as well as the cat. They do have a house cat but he's very friendly. We really enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back for a future event. Thanks for your hospitality it was amazing.

Awesome!! Great hosts, great home.

Amazing and lovely place to stay!

The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

I liked it so much I extended my stay!

Ken and Mari were wonderful hosts. We booked at the last minute (to arrive the next day) and they were quick to respond and give us tips about the area, and their info page is very thorough. They have a great spot for fishing enthusiasts, with Sugar River just down the street, and many other spots within a few miles. They're a one hour (scenic) drive to New Glarus, too. The downtown Rockton area is a quick drive away and has a lot of small town charm to it, and Beloit is just 10 min away with plenty of shops and restaurants. The private room is more like an apartment studio, definitely large! Ken and Mari were there to greet us and show us around and were kind and friendly, but also made sure we had time to ourselves as well. They made us breakfast in the morning on the deck; could not have asked for better hospitality. And we were able to bring our dog to their doggie haven, so it was easy for us to escape the city for the weekend! Definitely recommend to Chicagoans looking to get away for a bit. Their place is homey and feels a world away from the city. Lightning bugs and clear starry skies!

Ken and Mari were lovely hosts. We didn't get to take advantage of all of their kindness, as we ended up being too tired to sit around a fire, but their home and friendliness made our stay exactly what we had hoped it would be: an escape from the noisy city.

I didn't have a chance to meet Mari because we arrived late and departed early. However, communication with Kenneth was very easy and he waited for us to arrive and walk us through the room. The room was clean and spacious. We had clean towels, coffee and everything we needed.

Ken and Mari were fantastic hosts! They were very welcoming and even provided a delicious fresh and healthy breakfast along with interesting conversation too. The room was very comfortable, quiet and roomy and full of interesting and beautiful art, much was Mari's art. The birds, squirrels, geese and chickens added to the positive and relaxing environment. I only wish I could have stayed longer and had time to take the canoe out, I plan to return again soon!!

This was my second time visiting Bird Haven, and was equally as wonderful as the first time. I visited so that I could have some focused time to write while my husband went over to Blackhawk Farms just about three miles away. Mari and Ken, what to say, they are just the sweetest people. We got in on a Friday evening and were warmly received. The next day, I had a glorious morning that included fresh eggs made by Ken followed by tea and invigorating conversation with Mari. Bird Haven makes for the perfect environment for reflection. What the hosts have created is not only a lovely guest home but a retreat that offers peace and inspiration. The view of the still pond, lovely flowers, variety of birds and the warm, timeless ambiance within the guest house all prepared me to listen a little closer, notice with more admiration and feel with heightened intention. If you’re a city girl like me who needs to quiet the mind from time to time, Bird Haven offers the meditative peace you’re seeking. Thank you Mari and Ken and hope to see you again in a few months.

Mari and Ken are fantastic hosts, warm and welcoming, easy going, they went out of their way to make sure I had an enjoyable stay. They even included me in their evening at an outdoor bluegrass festival! It was my third visit and hoping not my last. Highly recommend staying with them if you get the chance!!

Lovely little spot. Considerate and kind hosts. Great for a weekend getaway!

Anyone considering an Airbnb will be spoiled by this accommodation. It is top notch. Entry, cleanliness, how it's decorated and appointed, services - crazy ... it was great. A "home run", so A+++ and recommended.

I can't say enough about how wonderful Paula's place is. The photos don't do it justice. Everything was spotless. The bedrooms are both lovely and the beds very comfortable. There were little snacks set out and coffee which was great since we came in late and empty handed! The back yard was private and beautiful, we had a wonderful time sharing a bottle of wine around the fire. In the morning we had breakfast on the AMAZING patio where we literally had humming birds buzzing around our heads. It feels very private. We can't wait to go back!

My wife and I stayed here for our first anniversary, and Paula was tremendously gracious and accommodating, even going so far as to provide us with wood and a firepit. On top of that, she surprised us with a bottle of champagne in the fridge when we arrived! The house is in a very quiet neighborhood, with a beautiful view of the woods from a lovely patio and easy access to the main thoroughfare. It's very spacious and was immaculately cleaned before we arrived. In addition, Paula left us an extensive, annotated list of recommended sights and activities in the area. All told, we would highly recommend Paula and her beautiful house!

Paula's place is beautiful and so cozy. I wish the weather was a bit warmer so I could have relaxed on that gorgeous back porch. You can feel the wonderful energy of her home when you first walk in. She really takes care of her guests, leaving snacks, breakfast, and suggestions on how to make your stay wonderful (a handful of forest preserves in the area were great for hiking/walking).

A lovely home, a warm welcome, and Paula's exquisite attention to detail made for a perfect stay.

For anyone staying in the Rockford area, stay at Paula's place. As an AirBnB super host, she puts the rest of us to shame: Coffee, snacks, milk, juice, all waiting when you arrive. The beds are comfortable, and the house is immaculate. Cindy and I will be adding to what we do here back in Cali as AirBnB hosts! Dave and Doug

This is the best AirBnB experience I've had ever! We had the whole first floor of the house including a deck where you can see the garden. The house is very beautiful and is decorated with small things (such as an old type writer) that make it feel classy and delicate. Paula must have put a lot of effort into organizing and decorating the house, and for a moment we didn't even want to intrude the peacefulness there. Last but not the least, it's really not expensive compared to similar houses around the area. If you ever come to this area I strongly recommend this house.

Paula's house in Roscoe was such a nice retreat from the "chaotic" fun of my family reunion. It was especially nice sitting out on the patio, watching the birds flock to her feeders and beautiful flower pots, while sipping morning coffee. Paula was so accommodating and friendly - good people. I highly recommend.

Loved the fresh garden outside with lots of flowers. The horse have had colts and are fun to watch. Always beautiful fresh cut flowers in the house. Very charming host.

Rod is a great host! Couldn't ask for any one better. We arrived and he greeted us then showed us around the house. Explained the outdoor section, indoor, hot tub, etc. I don't think there was anything he didn't cover which was nice. His communication through the process was great, very responsive. It's nice that he was also open to check-in/out times, which is very convenient. We didn't know what time Wed be in the area and he accommodated us based on our plans. He's got a beautiful home and provided everything from towels, breakfast, dinner, shower accessories, etc. He really made us feel at home. We used his fireplace and read some of the books he had in his library in the living room and enjoyed the peace and quiet. He has some pretty cool gadgets there like "Alexa", his (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) device that plays music and is like a personal assistant. There is even a washer and dryer in the room we stayed in. He's got an amazing backyard, where you can feed his neighbor's horses, walkways in the back through his garden and sculptures. Really brought me back to walking through the botanical gardens, tastefully made and arranged. He's got a trail in the woods. And a fireplace and chairs in the garden too, very peaceful. The stay here was like a getaway. The next morning Rod had breakfast for us. Some mixed fruit with honey and mint and he baked some cinnamon rolls. I will plan on doing another visit to Rob's place in the future. He's a great host!

Rod has quite a place! It was our first experience not having an entire place to ourselves and we thought it was fantastic. The location is peaceful, easy to find, and there are so many parks in the Janesville area, we always found something great while wandering around. Buddy is a great dog, too, he loves getting pet and is quiet and well-mannered. Rod has obviously spent a lot of time and thought into making his home an absolute joy, and I imagine anyone staying there would have a fantastic time. We can't wait to book again. :) Thanks for your hospitality, Rod, it was amazing.

It was absolutely fabulous! Rodney was super; polite, accommodating, and has the foresight to make your stay an unforgettable one. The pictures cannot portray how beautiful everything was. Fireplaces, music, shooting stars, and magnificent sunsets; just to name a couple. I regret only having one night there, for it is a place that deserves being cherished for longer. Not only do I highly recommend, but wish all the best and special thanks to Rodney.

I've never met an individual as passionate about ensuring a guest's positive experience as Rodney. The lengths he goes to ensure that you enjoy your stay is incomparable. His attention to detail and personability are unmatched. You matter to Rodney, and the home that he opens up to you is breathtaking. The room itself feels like royalty, and the majestic-esque property practically begs for you to get lost in it. This may sound like hyperbole, experience it all for yourself and you'll understand.

Mr. Rodney is the most thoughtful person I have ever met. He goes out of the way to make guests feel welcome and is very accommodating. Mr. Rodney continually changes things up so repeat visits are different. I am so happy Jimmy found this place for me. It has a very relaxing view and and stress free environment. Loved the hot tub too. Please don't try to book on my dates though.LOL

My girlfriend and I stayed with Rodney while we went to music festival at the airport nearby and I must say that Rodney was a fantastic host sharing his beautiful home with us. He really rolled out the "red carpet" for us from the very beginning, even offered us breakfast the day of our departure. Great neighborhood and scenery (lives next to horsefarm) and only minutes away from downtown Janesville and the airport. I only wish we could have spent more time there and experienced all of the amenities that Rodney's home had to offer. Would definitely stay with him again the next time I'm in the Janesville area. Thank you again Rodney for welcoming us into and sharing your home! -Eric

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! I grew up in the area and have avoided going back to visit because I couldn't face a soulless hotel room along the highway. Rodney's house is just the opposite. His care and attention to detail show everywhere. The gardens are beautiful and everything is set up for enjoying nature in complete comfort. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of renting the deck views for several weeks while traveling for work. Paula is very accommodating and the house is set up with coffee and snacks. The bed is so comfortable! The house is in a quite neighborhood and I felt very safe and relaxed there. I would highly recommend staying at any of Paula's listings here.

This is a very comfortable home with a thoughtful host. We hope to stay again whenever we need a place in the area.

Great communication with the host, made it easy with everything. Nice home, clean and cozy, plenty of space for us and kids. Effortless checkin/checkout, and it was affordable (main point).

My 3 daughters and stayed over the Christmas holiday week. We had a blast! The house was clean and the beds were beautifully made. Kristen was easy to work with and went out of her way to setup a Christmas tree for us and left us a greeting card. Nice personal touches. This was our first Air B&B experience. I hope to do this again in the future. Thanks Kristen for everything.

Cozy home with everything I needed for a quiet getaway. Lots of room for more guests if I had brought more of the family along. Kitchen facing wooded area made a great spot to work on my project while watching the snow fall. Finished basement area would be a great spot for the kids to run around and play if the weather kept us inside. Great communication with the host -- looking forward to staying here in the future!

We are regular travellers across Europe but this is our first time renting a holiday hone in the USA. It beats everything we have ever rented anywhere in Europe (and we have rented some fantastic places) . Kristin was excellent with communication, the house is just great, the location is great, very peaceful and picturesque and Kristin even stocked the fridge which was most unexpected, but highly appreciated after a long journey.

This was my first AirBNB experience and I would rate it highly. The house is clean and cozy and well equipped. Kristin was very helpful with logistics and with family in the area, we hope to book it again! Great experience!!

Kristin was a very available host and provided us everything we needed throughout our stay. We really loved the area and would definitely stay again!

The house was great and very spacious. We loved it and Kristin even brought us over a firepit which was great with the weather. No complaints and would definitely recommend staying here.

This home was very cozy and clean! It's placed on a beautiful country road and had tons of room for our kids to run and play. Our host Kristen was very helpful and had extras of many things like shampoos and lotion incase you didn't bring your own. We will definetly stay here again we loved it!!

We had a FANTASTIC time at the Redwood Retreat. We celebrated a bachelor weekend/party here with 15 guys. Julie was accommodating on her 9 guest policy. She asked for an additional fee per person after I explained our situation. Plenty of room to roam inside and out. We brought air mattresses for everyone that didn't snag a bed, and it was great. Never felt too crowded. We played a big game of kickball out in the 5 acre yard, and had plenty of other yard games going on all day and evening. Enough privacy to have a bonfire all night with some music going and not disturb any neighbors. It was the perfect place for our event, and Julie was easily accessible by cell-phone, both when we arrived, and upon exit. Thanks again, Julie! We will definitely consider your place for future weekend getaways!

This was my first time using airbnb and I am completely impressed. Julie's home is sprawling and immaculate, every detail carefully arranged into a fantastic experience. Every bedroom is gorgeous and personal, each bathroom is luxurious. The deck is massive and overlooks an amazing fire pit and beyond into a gigantic beautiful yard. Kitchen has every tool and implement you could ever need, the TV downstairs is huge and awesome with great speakers. Beds are super comfy. The landscaping is top tier. There's an adorable meadow in the far back of the yard for kids to play on swings independently but without concern and a second fire pit. I was very fortunate and lucky to have gotten this property for my friends and I sort of last minute and I will cherish the opportunity to have made many fine memories. Thank you Julie even though we didn't meet personally I owe you for the above and beyond hosting for a really great price. This property would kill it for any family oriented weekend or in my case a group of guys who had an amazing fun time but knew not to disrespect the estate - because we'll go back for sure. PS the stars were beautiful at night with the milky way visible in the early evening this time of year.

Julie was a phenomenal host and has a beautiful home that is hard to describe in words. The pictures online do not give the house the credit it deserves. Her home is spacious both indoors and outdoors. The home allows you to have a lot of privacy as you can hardly see any of the surrounding homes. The home was spotless when we arrived and had all the modern appliances we needed for cooking. The televisions throughout the home are flat screens, especially the over 75 inch flat screen tv in the basement. Julie left notes around the home to share information for delivery places, nearby stores, instructions for using the televisions, and wifi information in which we found very helpful. The outdoor grill was a great bonus as the BBQ we prepared tasted amazing. We enjoyed the 5 acres of land and wrap around decks surrounding the home. Julie was a sweetheart and allowed us to take our time on our checkout date and even offered us additional time to ensure we weren't rushing to leave. A family member stopped by during our stay, but there were no issues letting them know the owners were renting the home over the weekend. Julie was responsive immediately when we had a few questions on where a few things were located around the home (bug spray, broom, etc) There are so many wonderful things to say about the home and the host, but hopefully the next guests considering a stay will rush to stay here as I would love to stay atleast once a year. Thank you Julie!

This property is amazing! I would happily stay here again. Julie was very responsive. The cabin is enormous and everything inside is like new, while also very cozy. The grill is really nice and worked great, there are two fire pits outside with plenty of wood ready for you. Everything was there on arrival - coffee, towels, cooking supplies, fire wood, etc. The neighborhood is quiet and calm, great for a city getaway. An easy drive from Chicago. We had a great time here.

Our experience at the Redwood Retreat was great! Julie was extremely helpful, leaving things like the wifi password and phone numbers for a nearby pizza place that delivers. There were 8 of us staying (4 couples) and we were all comfortable. There is a king sized bed in the master, 2 queen sized beds (one in basement, one on main floor) and a full sized bed with twin above (bunk beds). The living room/kitchen area is large and open, great for entertaining. My only regret is that we did not visit in warmer weather. The deck is large and inviting, and you are surrounded by nature. Out of the city enough to feel like a retreat, but also close enough to stores in case you forget your toothbrush. The house had everything we needed. Pots/pans, silverware and dishes, a washer and dryer, shampoo/conditioner/soap etc. Overall it was a really nice space. Highly recommended.

Julie your home is lovely Our owing team truly enjoyed our time there thank you so very much for being such a gracious host.

The Redwood Retreat was just as we hoped it would be! Our family had a wonderful time in this very warm and inviting space.

Julie's Redwood was a retreat, indeed! The pictures and description of the property are an understatement. Julie's home is absolutely spectacular. It is so spacious with so many thoughtful and comfortable details. We enjoyed the grounds and firepit very much. Thank you, Julie!
