Cozy Apartment With Tons Of Character

The wife and I stayed at this location for about a week and loved it! For the same price as a modest hotel, the fantastic property owner (Tom) set us up two work stations so we could both work remote while we were in town. The location was great for this as a nice mini mall was a very short walk out the front door and we could get a verity of options for lunch. Noise was great for how I thought it would be. It’s close(ish) to a major road and a mall but we only heard noise “late” on a weekend night, but it stopped by 10pm. There is a lot of charm and character in this apartment, and it is not recommended for anyone over 6’ for an extended stay due to the size of the shower. That would really be the only issue I could see when renting here. Tom is great and well for sure contact him again when we’re in town!

Convenient, comfortable

This is our second stay at this property. It works great for our family of four. My son enjoys sleeping on the couch. There are so many restaurants within a mile or two. We used the grill this time, so you don't have to eat out all the time. Tom is readily available should you need his assistance.

It was great!!

Tom was a great host and went above and beyond anything we expected. The apartment was a great find for our visit and had everything we needed. It was quiet, clean and plenty of space. It was also near grocery store, gas station, and downtown area with many restaurants and shopping malls. If we are ever in Rockford again we hope to stay here again!! Thanks Tom for everything!!

Stylish abode with owners who thought of everything

I was surprised to find a vacation rental at all in Rockford and was thrilled to have stumbled upon this property. Located in the back of a barber shop, it has an unsuspecting exterior that opens up to a quaint stylish apartment that has been remodeled to include the cutest details with the guest in mind. The sling TV was just installed before our arrival, the bathroom was loaded with toiletries, and the kitchen was stocked with light groceries so we were able to enjoy breakfast every morning without having to do any shopping. We stayed a few nights in January during sub-zero temperatures, and the heat was fighting to meet the temperature at which we set the thermostat. We are used to a much warmer climate so the temperature would probably have been fine for other midwesterners. Highly recommend this rental. The interior decorating keeps you intrigued, and the attentive owners make you feel welcomed.

Comfortable & Cozy

We stayed here over Christmas 2017. The owner, Tom, was very responsive to our questions and went out of his way to help us with our concerns even whilst away himself at Christmas. He even decorated the living room for Christmas! We very much appreciated the extras such as the welcome basket, groceries in the fridge, etc. The place is, generally speaking, spacious, comfortable and cozy. We were visiting family over the holidays and the place was very conveniently located. The wi-fi worked great. We appreciated the ability to be able to watch Netflix during our downtimes.There was a major cold snap while we were there and the furnace worked well; however the property itself is a bit drafty so was always on the cooler side and the floors were quite cold. There's no alarm clock in the bedroom. We would have personally liked it if there was local TV (a digital antenna may have solved this inexpensively.) Overall, we were extremely pleased with our stay here & would likely stay here again, when Rockford isn't in the middle of a deep freeze!

Comfortable, clean with lots of thoughtful touches.

My husband and I were very satisfied with the accommodations! We called this location a little bungalow. 😊 The bed was extremely comfortable! The space was perfect for us. It was clean with everything you could need. Very close to all the major roads and retail. We were very pleasantly surprised to see all the groceries provided. Tom, the manager/owner was very accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it.

Quiet, clean, and comfy

This place in Rockford was great for our family of four. The parents had their own room. The daughter had her own room. The son happily slept on the couch; he does that at home too. There was plenty of room for all of us to hang out for 6 days. It is a quiet, clean, newly remodeled place within view of CherryVale Mall. The strip mall next door is within walking distance; we visited it three times for pizza and Chinese food. We would definitely want to stay here again for future Rockford visits.

Comfortable and homey

Quiet and comfortable. Private yet close to all amenities. Security system gave me peace of mind. Mattress amazing! Older home but renovated nicely - pride of ownership shows. Will stay here again when I'm in town. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Tom

Host profile image
In addition to my own properties, I am proud to now be managing another amazing place in Rockford— The Long House. I have nearly 7 years of hosting experience on VRBO (and the A platform). It started at my Chicago condo where I welcomed over 100 stays. Then in Rockford at the house I grew up in. Inherited in 2016, there are now 3 units all under the same roof including my Dad's 50-year-old Barber Shop, which is available to rent as a suite. The property is located near Rockford, IL in Cherry Valley. I am a freelance art director/graphic designer and a professionally trained chef. I enjoy travel, good food and adventure. I love to explore new places. I enjoy the arts, cultural and historical attractions... but I also like to kick-back and relax on a beach or poolside with an umbrella drink in my hand.

Why they chose this property

This is a quirky area on the outskirts of Rockford (in Cherry Valley, IL). It's a mix of rural, commercial and retail—and while not the most scenic neighborhood around, I can't emphasize enough how convenient it is.

So close to everything anyone would need— a great bar & grill (Drink), a pizza place, a Chinese restaurant, a wine and cigar shop, a pack & ship store and a dry cleaner are all steps out the door. Eggsclusive Cafe and Kegel's—the world's oldest Harley-Davidson dealership has a great diner for breakfast and lunch (and there's always a classic Harley on display). Walgreens, Circle K Gas & Convenience Store, Several fast food places as well as Schnuck's grocery store are all in the immediate vicinity.

Finally there is Cherry Vale Mall, a major regional mall—with Macy's, JC Penney, H&M, Barnes & Noble, a food court, Titled (Bowling, arcade games, laser tag, bumper cars, miniature golf, food & drink)... and over 130 stores. Menards is directly behind the property and has some great deals on grocery items. Six Flags Hurricane Harbor is 3 mins away.

Charming, historic downtown Cherry Valley is 5 mins away with restaurants and bars, Cattle & Cream (a great ice creamery and butcher shop), a post office a nice library and a an apple orchard. Baumann Park is great for walking and is connected to the path system located across the street. There's also new YMCA just minutes away for those that would like to get some activity in.

In addition to the things listed nearby, Mercyhealth Sportscore II, Indoor Sports Facility and the new Mercy Hospital Campus are 12 minutes away. Rock Cut State Park is 15 minutes away. For being in the middle of everything, you'll find the apartment amazingly quiet and private.

What makes this property unique

There is a history to this property that I will gladly tell any guest! This is my childhood home. I've inherited it... and getting it back up to snuff has been a labor of love.
