The owner couldn’t have been more helpful! We lost power because of a storm and she checked on us right away to inform us of estimated repair time. Also that she could run over a power source if we needed it. Well stocked rental!

Great Stay!
My daughter, 3 grandkids & I came for my class reunion and to visit family. The house was in a good neighborhood and very clean. It had a very homey atmosphere- just like Grandma's house should. There was plenty of room, dishes and pots & pans for us to make a family dinner for us and 5 of my nieces and nephews. It was perfect for our family gathering. The host was prompt to respond to any messages we sent.

Mom’s birthday
I would recommend Grandma’s house to anyone. It was neat and clean and have everything you could possibly ever need. Judi was a great hostess. She gave us a number where we could reach her anytime. Also stocked many breakfast items and condiments in refrigerator for us to use. All in all a most pleasant experience.

Grandma’s was perfect for our family reunion! 5 of us coming from swFL and wanted a place to call home away from home and this did not disappoint. The amenities, the communication, the location, all was on par. Grandma’s House truly made our family reunion even more enjoyable. Thank you Judith!

It really was Grandmas House.
We had to make a last-minute trip to the area and we’re so happy to find grandmas house. The first thing, my husband said when he walked in the front door was this feels like my grandma and grandpa‘s house. We were in town for his grandmother’s funeral, and to visit family. The location was perfect. The house had absolutely everything that we needed and Judith couldn’t have been kinder. We were able to stay a little bit longer after check out, and that gave us the chance to visit with our granddaughters and daughter. We can’t say thank you enough for accommodating us.

Amazing and comfortable
Judi is the best host I have ever had. I have never had a host ever leave you a few basic food items. It feels just like being in a loving home. Our trip was solely for the purpose of visiting my dad who was a resident in the Rockfalls nursing home. This gave us a perfect place to bring him for a family gathering rather than a hotel. I hope to continue to work with Judi for our visits to my dad.

Simply wonderful
We spent 5 wonderful days days at Grandmas house. During our visit several family members stopped by for a visit and all agreed that the home was lovely. We were happy to find the home stocked with food items, bottled water and toiletries. The beds, linens, and furniture was extremely comfortable and the home is large enough to host many guest. We will return on future visits to the Dixon area. By the way checking in and out was super easy!

Relaxing family stay
We were looking for a destination that offer canoeing, biking and hiking activities. Dixon has all of it and more. We had a lovely stay at Grandma house. The house is well equipped for a comfortable stay. Special mention for the piano that my son enjoyed playing a lot. We did not meet Judith, but she was such welcoming and responsive. She is a great host. She provides great recommendations for activities and tips overall. She was really nice to find some bikes that we can use for our stay. Definitely I highly recommend to book Grandma house for a nice relaxing stay!

Had a great time at Grandma's house!
The house was perfect. We met for a sister's crafting trip and loved the house. The extras the host provides were so thoughtful and added so much. The layout and space in the house were also perfect for us - we especially liked the large dining room table. We found ourselves looking at many of the things in the house and enjoying the history and uniqueness of the house. The neighborhood is also very nice and we loved the old homes. Such a cute area! Thanks much. Hope to come back again as it is a great meeting place for us.
