My family of 5 stayed here for a week to visit family and friends. I grew up in this area of Rockford in the 80s/90s and it's pretty much the same. We chose this for the location being close to family, the kids could walk to Marsh Park to play soccer, sidewalks 100% of the way to Bloom playground. Nice walk to Edgebrook Farmers Market, Highcrest Gray's IGA and Great Harvest (and Possessions Consignment is a gem worth checking out!). The neighborhood across Highcrest (Hawthorn Hills) has some of the most beautiful homes in town - highly recommend a walk through to marvel at the variety of architecture styles and beautiful landscaping. And of course Anderson Gardens!Host thought of everything so we could focus on our visit. We never ran out of TP, paper towels, garbage bags or dishwasher pods. We had ample towels and plenty of hooks to hang dry after use. BONUS was washer/dryer to do a couple loads halfway through the stay - and no mildew/mold like other rental front loaders we've stayed in. Comfortable beds, soft rugs underfoot. Home was built in the 30s so you have old house quirks but it's clean...our socks weren't filthy after walking around on these floors (I don't know the last short term rental or hotel I have been in where I didn't want to burn our socks after our stay - IYKYK). All of these seemingly little things make a difference and allow one to focus on the reasons for their stay. Location, attention to details, cleanliness make it a place I would stay in again!
