Fishing cabin
We stayed for four nights while fishing our crappie club fall classic. The location is great and the house is as deacribed. We really enjoyed the outdoor covered seating area. I give it 5 stars, and would recommend!

Tar pit getaway
The property is listed more as a hunting & fishing lodge& was probably adequately clean for a group of men of that mindset. Mainly I thought front porch area could use a cleaning & maybe a small bistro set for sitting outside for a smoke. My biggest issue was the tar pit right next to the house, it was fenced off & safe but the smell everywhere outside was insurmountable. Overpowering. Didn't help that I came down with stomach flu or food poisoning for the entire trip and then some.

Not our favorite
The house was okay. Grass super long got cut while we were there and lawn trimming so long we couldn’t play yard games. No wash clothes or dish towels. Refrigerator needed to be cleaned. Dead bugs on window sill and on front porch. Not worth the money.

Great time at Rend Lake rental home!
Ric was a great host and was very responsive to all of our questions and requests. I was surprised how nice the house is for a hunting cabin. My husband, myself, and 2 dogs stayed at the house, and it was completely setup with everything we needed. The cost of this place is the same as some area rentals that have less space and land. We will definitely be booking again with Ric!

Peaceful
Our daughter found this house and asked to stay for a weekend and do some fishing for her 13th birthday. Brought our 2 Labrador dogs. Would definitely recommend this place for a quick little get away. Nice quiet area with no touristy attractions but some good restaurants.

Weekend getaway
Perfect location for everything we had to do that weekend. Info and pictures on this place is very accurate. Very private and comfortable. Only draw backs that I noticed was the highway and interstate traffic noise and the oil smell next to us. Of course the wind was out of that direction. Otherwise the place is nice and a quaint little getaway.

Great time fishing!
We had a great time while we were here fishing with the guide Ric set up for us! The winery just down the road was super fun and we really enjoyed the restaurant “Seasonings” Our only complaint was that the bathroom could have been cleaner. Great little house in a super friendly little town!

Home Base
Ric was very attentive and nice. We spent a lot of time out exploring and this was our home base for the night. We could not use the TV, there were no instructions on how to get it going. But we also did not bother to ask. But making a suggestion to leave some kind of instructions to operate the TV for the next visitors. Otherwise it met our needs perfectly.

Everything as advertised and more. Well stocked with anything you may have forgotten. Very accommodating host. Took us a few days to figure out where to go for breakfast, but Bonnie Cafe is the answer.
