Summary: From the first communication with Shari, I knew this would be a good visit. What I didn't realize was how magical the experience would be. Shari welcomed us to the house and gave us a bit of history. It was the perfect setting for celebrating the Christmas holidays with family: my son and daughter-in-law, their newborn son, my elderly in-laws, and my DIL's parents. Many happy memories were made in this historical house on the river. It was a visit we will never forget!

Summary: The pictures do not lie! This home has amazing historic charm and the river view was fabulous. We have stayed in quite a few short term rentals and this was by far the cleanest property we have experienced: no dust, dirt, or grime to be found anywhere. Shari, property owner, was so easy to communicate with and greeted us on arrival to give us instructions and answer questions. She has thought of every detail down to conveniently placed extension cords, makeup wipes, and a notebook full of history and recommended restaurants. We plan to make this a return visit!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful historic property along the Kankakee River. The kitchen is well stocked to cook and the backyard patio is perfect for grilling out. We have wonderful memories staying here during our trip! The kids loved playing in the backyard and we even saw some lightning bugs on our last night there. Thank you for sharing this beautiful house as a rental, we really enjoyed staying there.

Summary: The house was absolutely charming, not to mention gorgeous and historic. Really appreciated the info provided about the house itself as well as the Frank Lloyd Wright prairie home across the street. The location right on the river cannot be beat. My friends and I enjoyed our stay immensely!

Summary: We were visiting family in Kankakee in the summer and this house was perfect for our family of 6. We also hosted some extra family one evening and the backyard and back porch worked out great. The kids also loved walking to Jaenicke's for floats!

Summary: Wonderful place to entertain family and friends. Best sleep ever…was it the 500-thread sheets or the soothing train whistle in the night or gentle sound of the geese in the morning? Beautiful view of the river.
