About this property

Sitting in the Rock River Valley, Oregon, Illinois is a charming town with much to offer visitors. Three state parks full of hiking trails are nearby. Rent canoes or kayaks to float down the scenic Rock River.
Walking distance from our home is Park West with a trail, tennis courts, play area, splash pad and a sledding hill. Downtown Oregon's restaurants, bars and stores are a short drive or a pleasant walk.
For business travelers, the Byron plant, Woods, Etnyre and KSB Hospital are short drives.
The space
This downstairs unit of a two story duplex house has 2 bedrooms, bathroom, full kitchen, and living room area. This listing is for renting the downstairs only (we do not rent the upstairs if there are guests in the downstairs unit). The back yard has a small deck and is completely fenced - you will not share the backyard with anybody else. Well-behaved furry friends are welcome. The house sits on a quiet street with easy parking.
Guest access
There is free parking on the gravel driveway next to the house and also free street side parking as long as cars are parked in the direction of traffic. Oregon has no public transportation options so walking, biking, and driving are the options for getting around.

Another great trip

Another great stay at Kathryn’s place. So communicative and helpful — a great spot to stay at both for visiting the state parks nearby and grabbing a bite in town.

Home away from home

We have stayed at this property twice now. My extended family lives in the area and this has been a great way for us to enjoy time visiting family, while also having a place to call "home" when the kiddos are ready for bed. They love taking turns on the day bed and trundle bed. It is nice having a full kitchen and all the luxuries of home while we travel. It is so much easier than trying to keep quiet in a small hotel room after the kids are ready for bed. We will certainly return whenever we are in town again.

So lovely!

The perfect getaway. Kathryn was the nicest host who provided the perfect amount of information ahead of and during our stay. The house is peaceful and cozy, the yard was perfect for my dog to run around in, and we loved adventuring through the state forests nearby and the proximity to town for a bite. Highly recommend checking out this area and staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn

My family has been in Oregon for nearly 200 years and I graduated from the local high school. I love to travel and currently live overseas in the Philippines with my husband and three children but regularly return to Northern Illinois to enjoy the nearby state parks and all that Oregon and the surrounding area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

This 1940 home is in a great location in Oregon with stores and restaurants a short drive or a pleasant walk away. The kitchens are well-stocked to prepare full meals if you wish. We are travelers and often rent homes so have tried to stock the house with all the amenities we appreciate when we are guests in other people's homes.

What makes this property unique

We accept well-behaved pets for an additional pet fee. Our backyard is spacious and completely fenced-in so your dog (or your kids, depending on ages!) can be outside without needing constant supervision. The Nash recreation center - with very low guest pass rates - is nearby and features a great gym and an indoor swimming pool. Park West is also nearby with a walking/running/biking trail, playground, tennis courts, and splash pad. The Wiggly Field (lots of Cubs fans in the area!) off-leash Dog Park is near the house.
