My husband and I absolutely loved the house! The house and grounds were so unique and beautiful! We loved the big master suite, the hot tub, the cantina, and the game room the best! We had everything we could need and were very comfortable. We wished we had been able to stay longer. :)

We six had plenty of room and a comfortable stay. The decor was amazing, a very fun surprise. Sadly, the weather was too cold to spend time in the gorgeous grounds. The location was good and we were able to explore Rockford.

We really weren’t able to stay as long as we wanted to, but Marlene’s place is just fantastic! My 220 something year old kids stayed with me and there’s a hot tub, a bunch of arcade games and so much wonderful outdoor space!

Great find in Rockford!
We needed a meeting point as we were attending a wedding at the nearby Anderson Japanese Gardens. This awesome listing fit the bill perfectly, and allow us to have a private place to retreat to before and after the event. Marlene was the most communicative host I’ve ever had and the property is in fantastic shape.

Your place was absolutely amazing. The efforts put in to decorate did not go unnoticed. I absolutely love the chessboard. The little nook in the kitchen was a cute touch. The basement as you know was a big hit with everyone. Thank you for opening up your home. It was just a beautiful place. We were not ready to go but reality calls .

SEDONA Celebration
We needed a place that offered good location for activities, safety, entertainment, and we wanted a clean environment. We found this hidden gem that offered everything we needed and even more. The hosts communication was quick and responsive. The simplicity of staying here made us feel at home. When staying at any place you worry about everything prior to getting there. The what ifs and the unexpected surprises. We had zero concerns, worries and we were able to enjoy our time with our son. Pet friendly for our fur pup. We highly recommend this gem to anyone that loves tranquility and comfort. We felt like royalty.

Family Wedding Getaway
We came from other states to be together in the same spot. Attended a family wedding in Rockford, but we kept gravitating back to the Sedona. We especially enjoyed the Cantina and the fire pits. It was so enjoyable to constantly discover hidden areas and so much creative decor! We really want to come back and stay longer.

It looks like Marlene and her creative self has been working very hard for many years to turn this house into the magical, artistic and fun place that it is! We have stayed in some amazing places through the years, but NEVER anyplace like this! It is magnificent! It’s a variable museum and we LOVED it! The surrounding outdoor spaces are also wonderful. Thank you for letting us stay in this beautiful house.

Bringing in 60 at the Sedona!
The stunning Sedona of Rockford truly is a hidden gem. I wanted a venue to celebrate a big birthday with my family and closest friends. The primary goal was to host 50 people utilizing the beautiful outdoor spaces this property offered as well as have space for my immediate family to stay the night and enjoy the amenities this home offered. It met every expectation and more!! My guests were in awe at this spectacular home where there’s something unique every where you looked. From the gorgeous furnishings and decor to the fun arcades the kids enjoyed to the outdoor cantina that served as a fun space to listen to music, the Sedona was simply exceptional in every way! I would highly recommend for a party or event 50 people or under. It’s perfect. Marlene the owner was so friendly and accommodating and the property manager, Gia was always a phone call or text away. Our theme was Fiesta and it fit so well with the overall motif of the Sedona! I will be booking this property again!! Cheryl K. Cherry Valley, IL

Great Rockford Staycation!
The Sonoma House captured my attention by the vibrant photos in its listing, but seeing it in person was even more captivating! Calling it "eclectic" is an understatement, but the house has definite style, even swagger! It boasts a confident, distinctive, and captivating style which made it perfect for our group to have a great time.

Is truly a hidden gem
This home is decorated amazingly, from details in fireplace and layout to all the various decor throughout, so much so that in our 3 day stay we noticed decor we missed even on day 3. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The home is very private, even the place to park is inside a fence making it feel private and secure. We will return.

PERFECT Bachelorette Getaway!
The house was exactly as the pictures show, but even more fantastic. The extravagance could not be captured in photos. We loved exploring the many things to see and do, from the hottub to the gameroom and many amazing photo opportunities. The house was impeccably cleaned, and the beds were so soft. I wanted to enjoy every room! My ONLY grievances were: how close the neighbors were to the house, but the privacy fence and high walls made us feel the perfect kind of isolated. And that the house would only allow 9 or 10 people if everyone was willing to share beds. It fit 5 of us more comfortably. Otherwise: Highly highly highly suggest staying here with your girls!!! Thank you for the wonderful stay!!
