Cozy 3-bedroom home on the waterfront, dog friendly!
Eagle's Hideaway is a secluded waterfront getaway just an hour outside of Chicago, a mile from historic Route 66.
The home has laminate and stone flooring and is designed so your dog can be included in your getaway in a worry free, comfortable environment.
This cozy river hideaway features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings. Incredible views of the river can be seen from the family room and kitchen. Patio doors off the family room lead out to a deck that overlooks the river. Separate laundry room right off the family room with large capacity washer and dryer. Bathroom features walk in shower. The first bedroom has a king bed, the second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has two twin beds. The third bedroom is a low ceiling loft that looks out over the family room and kitchen. It is favorite of adults and kids alike and is referred to as the "Eagle's Nest". The loft is accessible by a hidden ladder in the closet of the king bedroom.
The property also has a unique game room with a 1890's vintage pool table and more incredible views of the river.
Please note, we own a second, smaller home on the far side of the property and it will be listed on VRBO Spring of 2024. If you are interested in renting both properties at once please specify in your initial message. Otherwise there may be other guests occupying that home and the shoreline in front of it.

We came to visit family for the first time. We wanted to be able to see the city but not stay in the city. This was just right. Our dog also had a great time at the property.
Came to town for the military funeral of my dad. The host couldn't have been more accomdating. Would definitely stay here again. So peaceful and lovely outside on the river.
t couldn't have
Lovely home with a spectacular riverview experience ❤️
Gorgeous views from the house, upper and lower decks. Cozy home with so many amenities to more our stay extremely comfortable ! Thank you for wonderful experience!
I wish i could say how amazing this place is the pics dont do it justice its beautiful inside and out tons of room for everyone and something for everyone to do..
We will be back soon i think i found our home away from home from now on..
This was the perfect spot for our family. Everything was clean and beautiful. The kiddo loved going up into the loft area. We loved looking at the river. If we’re ever back in Illinois, this is where we will stay!
Our stay was simply amazing. The home was clean and welcoming, with more than enough space for people and pets. River access was perfect - our dog LOVED chasing the dragonflies in the water. We will definitely plan another trip to Eagle's Hideaway. Thanks so much for a lovely week.
We loved staying at this lovely house! Pretty views and spacious kitchen/living area. Well stocked and well thought out- the owners cleverly and elegantly labeled the drawers! Also, they provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. we really enjoyed it the house and deck with the beautiful view!!
We enjoyed our stay very much. What a beautiful setting by the river. We wish we had had more time to sit on the deck or by the fire by the river. Hopefully, we will in the future. The property is well-appointed and well cared for. We very much appreciated being able to bring our dogs.
The rental was fantastic! The view from the picture windows looking onto the Kankakee River was breathtaking. We especially enjoyed sitting on the large porch by the river watching the ducks, birds, and geese doing their thing. The house was comfortable and inviting and my great granddaughter loved to play in the loft. I definitely will be renting this lovely peaceful place again!
We were very pleased with our stay. Not only was the house spotless, we appreciated the little “extras”. I forgot coffee, and they had it covered. We were sitting by the river and thought some water would be nice. There it was in the outdoor kitchen mini fridge. This place is very relaxing. I’d stay here again.
The house was spotless and exactly as described. It is seculuded but also very close to the highway and town.
We enjoyed most of our time by the river around the camp fire. It was perfect.
And the owner was the cherry on top. She was very responsive and very helpful.
We hope to make this an annual trip!
Our family had such an awesome stay at this river house. It was fairly easy to find and the location was perfect. The view of the river was amazing, almost felt like a small lake it's so wide. The kitchen had everything and more to comfortably cook and enjoy with the view. The grill was also a great surprise as it is fueled by a gas line - no worries of running out of propane. The eagles nest kid loft is so much fun. The kids loved getting their own space and sleepy there every night. We had such a great stay. I highly recommend this house and hope to stay again.
I cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was at the river house! We typically stay at lake homes but was more of a last minute trip! The home owner was so timely and communicative since prior to our booking! We had 6 people stay and then also my nephews were able to join us for one of the days we were there! They have thought of everything you may need my mom literally told me every day! Fully stocked kitchen, board games (came in handy the one day it rained quite a bit), firewood, bait, gas grill set to gasoline so we wouldn’t run out. We took full advantage of the river fishing, tubing, and swimming. My dad also brought his fishing boat went about 10 min away to Braidwood lake. Meanwhile my mom, daughter and I went to town to check out the cute antique shops. There was a list of nearby attractions and restaurants as well. “The bathtub” is a must and was good for kids of all ages! The Landing Point restaurant had great ice cream. We ended up going to dinner at a seafood restaurant called Big Fish Grille it was about 15-20 min away but just amazing. I cannot wait to book for next year!
Great home on the Kankakee River! Fully stocked kitchen, fun loft bedroom, magnificent views of the river and wildlife. We wish we were there longer and also in warmer weather to enjoy the river. Working with Linda and Natalie was so easy and they were always so accommodating. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.
The location and view were great. So pretty, quiet and private. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need. Had one issue and it was taken care of immediately. We had some luck fishing. We really enjoyed our stay and we will be back!
We love this space so much that it’s our second time staying here. Right on the river, isolated and private with just one house next door and very very peaceful. Took the dog and he swam from sun up to sun down. Just be careful when the river starts to flow, it is fast. But even just sitting on the dock watching him swim was enough for us. Already planning a trip next.
This was the perfect property for my family to stay while visiting friends and family. Beautiful view of the river and very dog friendly house. Lots of space and had all the amenities that we needed. Thank you!
