Summary: We generally rent homes when traveling as an exec team. We chose this property for its proximity to our plant in Stockton,Il. Where we were able to host a small group for dinner. The location was perfect and the house is very nice. We all were amazed by the view and beautiful sunset. Three of us stay d overnight with great no issues. The amenities are nice and the cottage is well equipped. My only thought is that unless your family the bed/bath setup is not adequate for 6 bedrooms. Simply due to sharing bathrooms.

Summary: We stayed here for a weekend for our son's wedding at Oak Hill Farm. We had 9 adults who all had their own bedroom with one bedroom to spare. The views were amazing from both top and bottom patio with plenty of outdoor seating and a fire pit. We did not get to use the pond but it was very cute with a dock and small beach. Owners will easy to work with and communicated promptly.

Summary: Cliffside cottage is a beautiful home with stunning views. The amenities are fantastic - from the smokeless fire pit to the marvelous pond! The kitchen is well stocked with every utensil you’ll need for cooking, the beds are comfortable, and the house is has a great layout for guest to spread out. Danesa was an attentive host who checked in with us just enough and was quick to respond when needed. We’ll be back for sure!

Summary: This home did not disappoint. From the moment you open the front door, you are surrounded by the beauty of the views. It was spectacular. Very, very clean, and communication with the owners was top-notch. We had 11 in our group and there was plenty of room. The kitchen was fully stocked - - we grilled in both nights and had everything we needed. It's also an amazing location for any tourist spot you want to visit. Our family/friends cannot wait to go back! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!!

Summary: I found so much peace here. The view and the sunsets were phenomenal. This home is well appointed and the host accommodated an early checkin for my daughter’s family who traveled here. There was a lot of thought put into the design and construction as it accommodated 3 families comfortably. We skied at Chestnut and shopped in historic Galena, both equidistant from Cliffside Cottage. I highly recommend a stay.

Summary: The views from this home are beautiful! Sunsets were gorgeous. House is secluded and we only left once. Hunkered down for thanksgiving weekend with lots of food, cards and football. Well equipped, comfortable home. I’m sure the summer is even better with a private pond. Perfect home for a family get away, or couples getaway with lots of bedroom options. Would definitely stay again.
