Very well stocked house. The owners don't expect you to bring your own supplies which makes the stay more relaxing. The bluffs behind the house are incredible. Views out front gorgeous. Nearby hiking and wineries. Great stay:)

Peaceful and surean
We celebrated my husbands 80th birthday with the kids and grandkids. We spent time fishing and outdoor time and games at night. Kids and grands came from Springfield, IL, Colorado and California. Our 8 year described the house as a cabin and the downstairs as a hotel.

What a fabulous weekend at Rock Ridge! Fishing, hiking, S’mores & laughter around the campfire, stargazing, the list goes on! 4 adults and 3 kids ages 8-12 - never lacking something to do! Allison was fantastic to communicate with, just made things go so smoothly. Thank you again and we’ll be back.

Amazing getaway
Beautiful property close to hiking trails. We took our two boys (4 and7) who had a great time at the cabin as well as the surrounding hiking trails. Giant city was the best along with a trip to Boo park. The cabin is very nice with everything you need to cook. We had deer come around the property every morning and evening. If you want to get away, this is a great place to relax and explore.

Wow! So secluded and quiet. There are few views in IL that can rival this one! This rental has it all. Clean, spacious, and so relaxing. You can see every star in the galaxy from the deck. The owners are awesome!

A perfect place to reconnect with family, friends, and nature.
Spent Memorial Day on the property with family and our friend's family. The drive up is gorgeous and the view from the living room is breathtaking. Perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or for stargazing at night. Property was well kempt and the owner was very responsive anytime we had a question. It was an easy drive to the numerous sites in the Shawnee National Forest. We would definitely stay here again and we would recommend this property to anyone interested in spending quality time with friends or family.

The perfect indoor and outdoor space for any age.
The layout of this house is perfect for 2 -3 families. The inside space is lovely and cozy, and the outside property is wonderful for exploring without even driving anywhere. I don't think you can get any more privacy or access to such beautiful private bluffs and forest trails than here. We hosted a family reunion with people coming from all over the country. The huge balcony with a spectacular view was perfect for the family photo and for relaxing. A short drive gets you to the Shawnee Canopy Tour zip line, several forest hikes, and at least 5 wineries. We could not have asked for a more perfect location or living space than Rock Ridge! Also the property manager was very accommodating and available to answer all of our questions .

Beautiful View
We stayed in this beautiful home over Memorial Day Weekend. The home was gorgeous and full of space. Very clean! We just loved the view from all of the windows. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and a bonus was being able to fish in the private pond. Thank you Mary for all of your help. The only negative is the top floor loft bedroom does not have privacy. The stairs leading up to the loft opens directly into the bedroom and there are no curtains on any of the windows up there. (just a note, so multiple couples as we had can be informed).

Amazing house, with the most beautiful scenery. Pictures just don't really show how beautiful it is. Setting on the deck and being able to see a Hummingbird, bats and a blue tailed skink. Overall everything was great. A few housekeeping issues in the kitchen. I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely Amazing
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The property is huge and maintained and the house is clean and updated. We couldn’t have loved our stay any more! The kids were able to play outside safely while we prepared dinner with the kitchen situated perfectly. We were perfectly located to take drives within 30 min to many of the state parks. We checked out Ferne Clyffe and Giant City. We also picked our own strawberries at hallsberry Farms, and walked the boardwalk at Section8 woods to check out the cypress swamp. We also got to spend ample time at the property to enjoy the pond and the views and dinners together! We didn’t have a single issue that we needed to contact the property managers but I have no question in my mind they would have been attentive to any issue we had based on their attention to detail in the house! Our trip was short but packed with so many great memories and we can’t wait to return to this property again!
