About this property

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:

A very lovely rustic cabin. We sat on the very large deck as often as we could. The kitchen had everything we needed for a week's stay. A few things could use updating.

Cozy Cabin

Beautifully decorated cabin, really got you in the river vibe! Very comfortable with plenty of beds & living space. Wonderful deck and view of the river. We kayaked the Rock River and were able to end our run right at the cabin's dock, really fun day. Highly recommend this cabin, we are talking about coming back another time!

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.

Beautiful, relaxing getaway!

We had an amazing time at this gem on the Rock River. The views from the indoor porch and outdoor deck are gorgeous with plenty of seating options in both spaces! The house is open and inviting, clean, well stocked, and beautifully decorated. Communication with JoAnn was easy and we always received responses quickly. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway for a family weekend.

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.

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!
