2-Acre Retreat on the Fox River with Spectacular Views & Hot Tub!

Experience the ultimate riverfront getaway at this stunning home that sets the standard for luxury and elegance along the Fox River. The interior spans 6,300+ sq. ft. across 3 levels of impeccably designed space and features 7 bedrooms, 6 king-size beds, and 4.5 baths to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests. Set on over 2 acres of wooded grounds, the estate features a long list of luxe amenities including a dock, hot tub, fire pit, 2 kitchens, entertainment room & parking for 10 cars.

THE SPACE
Unforgettable vacations begin with unforgettable homes! Escape to The Retreat on Fox River and enjoy a spacious, comfortable home designed for riverfront living. Set along the banks of the Fox River, the private 2-acre estate has direct access to the water and inside every corner of the residence has been expertly designed to provide guests with a remarkable stay.

Enter the three-story residence on the first floor where the social spaces impress with easy flow between rooms. You`ll love the expansive open floor plan with a light-filled living room graced by huge windows overlooking the Fox River and a stacked-stone two-sided fireplace that welcomes you on cool evenings. The perfectly appointed kitchen is a cook`s dream, with a large island that seats 4 and additional seating for 8 at the eat-in table. Ample counter space, a gas range with pot filler, plus a comprehensive housewares package make cooking a pleasure. The adjacent dining room seats 6 in an elegant, formal setting.

There are 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms conveniently located on this level as well, including the residence’s primary suite with a private balcony overlooking the river. This bedroom includes a king-size bed and gorgeous bath with a soaker tub, double vanity, and impressive walk-in shower with granite bench, 2 rain shower heads and a sprayer.

Head up the grand staircase to the 2nd floor which features 3 king bedrooms. One room is an ensuite and across the catwalk are the other 2 bedrooms that share a full Jack-and-Jill bath. The ground walk-out level is absolutely gorgeous with 12` ceilings, a great room, wet bar, 2nd kitchen, game room, 3-sided stone fireplace, bedrooms 6 & 7, and another full bath.

Ready for outdoor living at its finest? 2 acres of wooded grounds culminate at the edge of Fox River - swim, paddleboard, kayak and more right from the property’s edge! Spend afternoons enjoying river views and BBQs on the back deck. The hot tub is perfect for relaxing, while the spacious back yard offers plenty of space for kids to run, along with a cute kid`s clubhouse where they have their own space to hang out. Enjoy s`mores under the stars at the riverside fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs.

Delicious restaurants, shopping, museums, golfing, fruit picking, and fishing are all offered in the nearby towns and beautiful countryside! The Retreat on Fox River is just 1.5 miles from quaint downtown Yorkville, a place known throughout the region for riverfront festivals, outdoor adventure, an exciting nightlife scene, and home to the largest waterpark in Illinois. Make a splash at Raging Waves with 32 different styles of waterslides, test your skills at Marge Cline Whitewater Course’s quarter mile of rapids, or delve into the dining and pub scene at one of the many establishments located along a picturesque stretch of the Fox River.

Family reunion

My kids, grandkids ages 8-17 stayed for 4 days in December. It was nice that the house was decorated. We enjoyed the hot tub and the ping pong table. We visited the Farnsworth House nearby which was really interesting!

Friendsgiving

We had our 20th annual Friendsgiving here. The place is amazing! I think the group consensus is we plan to book this place each year for our celebration. Hosts were very helpful and quick. View was great. Tons of rooom but I think we just stayed in the kitchen and hot tub. Thanks again! Great place for large groups.

Family wedding

Had large extended family gathering for wedding. We all traveled from Massachusetts. Location was close to family and wedding in IL. The house was great! Communication was fantastic and house was exactly as stated. Views along River are gorgeous with beautiful night sky and stars clearly visible. Cosy nights in hot tub and fire pit were perfect. Highly recommend!

Excellent Stay

Beautiful property on the river. Plenty of room in this spacious house. Downstairs was like another apartment. The yard was well landscaped and we used the firepit in the evenings. Fireflies highlighted the evening sky. Owner was responsive to our questions and concerns. Needs were addressed in a timely manner. I recommend this property to anyone staying in the area.

Perfect for a large family

Beautiful property with inspiring views. Plenty of room for 15 of us, even in the kitchen space (though we could not all be seated). Excellent communication from the property manager and flexibility to meet our desire for a little extra time on each end of the rental. A little difficult to balance the 1st and 2nd floor cooling, which is on a single thermostat, but lots of good fans helped. Only complaint was the well water.

Cousin Camp May 2024

We are a group of 15 cousins and family members ranging from mid 50’s to low 70’s. We had just spent the weekend together in the city and were looking forward to a couple days where we could just hang out and catch up. This property was the perfect location. We entered the property and the first this week noticed was the spectacular view of the Fox River. As we walked through we were delighted by how immaculate the house was. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance and utensil we might need. There is also plenty of room for everyone to hangout as meals are prepared and eaten. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of full bathrooms. The outside areas did not disappoint! The multilevel decks allowed us to be together and to spread out. The fire pit was nice as well. Bring a pole to dish off the dock. The only thing that might have been nice to have would have been some kayaks, but I don’t know if we would have used them. We got a lot of use from the hot tub and had no problems with it. Unlike some rental properties, there were no crazy rules posted around the house. All expectations were provided up front and none were odd or asking too much. Everyone raved about how perfect the utensil was all weekend. I would definitely rebook if the opportunity arises. Limit is 5⭐️ but I’ll give them 10.

The home is beautiful, with expert attention to detail. The bed linens seemed chosen specifically for each room. The views were especially delightful, day and night. We were lucky to have a 3/4 moon over the Fox River, a fire in the fire pit, and morning coffee on the deck. I would recommend this home for any event. Spacious, comfortable, and near fun things to do, such as kayaking on the Fox River.
