The River House is a stunning riverfront vacation rental on the serene shores of Fox River.

The bathrooms are very clean, feature a bathtub with a shower on the first floor, shower on the second and plenty of fluffy towels.

The highlight of this waterfront house is the expansive two level new deck with hot tub where you can soak and relax, while enjoying scenic views.
Deck area with luxury furniture is just perfect for having your morning coffee or evening cocktails. Stepping down you will find the convenient outdoor kitchen with barbeque, fridge as well as a stoned fire pit area surrounded by eight comfortable chairs (fire wood provided).

The Waterfront Paradise is located in a family oriented area, allowing you to truly disconnect from daily hustle.

Perfect location!

This property was great! The hot tub was awesome and clean, the extra blankets and quality bedding made the house cozy and comfortable, and the fireplace really set the mood for our stay. We didn't use the fire pit but it looked awesome! Our host was wonderful and this place met all of our needs - no complaints at all!

Great location in a great place

The home had everything we needed and more! Having the river right out the back door and downtown shops just a quick walk away was perfect.

fantastic Chicago area home

This property was very clean, well-organized and stocked with everything that we needed. House is in a great location on the river and looks like it would be a great place to stay in the summer months. Lots of great places to eat within blocks of the home. Definitely on my short list of places to return to.

Family visit

Over all we loved our stay. Everything listed on the property site was available upon our arrival and we had a great time at the property. The location and town were all we expected. Only down side was to much decor for a smaller place, to many towels on all the racks in bathrooms and none of the door locks worked

We had a wonderful time. We walked to downtown Algonquin and had enough room to spend time together but have our own space.

Beautiful home, wonderful vacation

We had a lovely time at the property with our adult children & grandchildren. The view of the river was beautiful, the house was very easy to find, and the layout of the house was wonderful! We also appreciated the very comfortable beds complete with beautiful pillows and linens. The kitchen was very well equipped & the appliances were top-of-the-line. We loved our time at the River House!!!

Algonquin Paradise

Our family of 6 (4 adults, 1 teen, 1 tween) spent 5 nights and loved every minute! Anna had everything in the home we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, wished we had more days to spend here too! Lots of spaces to share stories and just chill. Beds were all comfy as well. Great communication all around and we definitely would stay again.

Exceeded our expectations

Great communication and wonderful experience at this riverfront house! Even though the property is not pre setup as childproofed (as advertised), it was easy to childproof ourselves. No complaints and we’re recommending this property to friends in the area
