Perfect in every way
Our stay for a girls weekend getaway was perfect. The house is immaculately clean, perfectly located and so cute. The set up is perfect for a large group. We had 7 women and there was plenty of sleeping space and mirrors for getting ready in the morning! I will definitely stay here again! The host was quick to answer any silly questions we had about hair dryers or anything else too.

Wonderful for family gatherings!
We had 4 generations of our family here. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for interacting. Loved the big dining room table with seating for 8 (more when you add the available chairs throughout the house)!! Cooking equipment we felt was somewhat limited: One 6-7 qt. slow cooker, 2-slice toaster, and outdoor charcoal grill and basic pots and pans. (Did not find a lid cover for the largest skillet we used.) Dinnerware with service for 12 and the abundance of drinking glasses was great!! The steep hill was wonderful for viewing the Mississippi River traffic, but somewhat intimidating for us flatlanders (and the oldest generation) to climb and drive on.

As usual, we were very pleased with this property. My only suggestion is for better lighting over the main table in the dining room. We always bring puzzles and when sun sets it is challenging to work the puzzle at this table

Girls Weekend!
We had girls weekend and chose this property due to it having three bathrooms...the property was so much more than we expected. The view is amazing, there are two outdoor areas to enjoy, the inside of the house fit us perfectly. The bedrooms had ample space, three bathrooms, a huge kitchen and the wonderful dining table that everyone could fit around. The location was perfect for walking everywhere. We shopped, ate, enjoyed cocktails and the live entertainment all day! The owners were quick to respond to questions and have a detailed binder that left no question unanswered for our stay. Small things they provided also were a great addition to our trip, coffee, hot cocoa, creamer, sugar and my favorite, good hand soap. WE will be staying again and recommending this place to our friends and family!

The property managers were great. It was our first time renting a house for our family girls' night and it was absolutely perfect. Close to shops and restaurants. We will definitely have to rent this one again. Thank you!

Grafton Il vacation
House is excellent. Two things that I had minor complaints, I was not told that after entering the door pass code you have to press the "Check" button to activate/unlock the door, I figured it out after my 5th or sixth try. Second is the internet connection is poor and almost unusable at night. Had to make a wireless hot spot with cell phone for the kids. Otherwise a very great house and well worth staying at. Be prepared for the driveway, it is steep Didn't meet the owners but they were very prompt in responding to my questions.
