The River House/Stunning Riverfront/Scenic Views/Water Sports/Steps to Marina

The River House is a stunning riverfront vacation rental on the serene shores of Fox River. This stylish home boasts spacious bedrooms, beautifully finished and decorated dining room, impressive kitchen and absolutely breath taking views from the living room through huge glass doors. Warm and inviting interior of the house gives a relaxing vibe. With open floor plan, living area features comfortable seating, large screen TV and a cozy fire place. The fully equipped kitchen has all essentials for your cooking and dining needs at the large table that can seat up to 8 guests. The bedrooms are spread out over both levels, with two bedrooms on the main floor and two on the second. They are beautifully furnished with high quality beddings. 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. However, it is still within minutes of Port Edward restaurant, local pubs, famous Old Town of Algonquin with gorgeous promenade and other attractions, stores and restaurants. There is also Fox 14 Marina within a few minutes walk from the house where you can rent a pontoon boat to cruise around, enjoy water fun and sunset with night sky perfect for stargazing. During the winter season one can go for an ice fishing on the smoothly frozen water.

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.

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
