St. Charles House | Lovely Riverfront House with Fire Pit & 30ft Swing!

3 Bedroom House in St. Charles, South Elgin

Fall has arrived! Come over and visit our little river house that we call "Blackhawk on the Fox". The location within the 1940's Five Islands subdivision lends itself naturally to the quaint cabin theme. We finished painting it red in 2022 and it looks great!
Snuggle up in the living room for a Netflix movie night on the 50" TV. Order a pizza, or cook a meal in the kitchen. Roast marshmallows over the fire in the large fire pit in the backyard. You're welcome to bring your own firewood or purchase a bundle for $10 from the backyard. And, the kids will love the swing that hangs from a 30 foot branch in the oak tree!
Enjoy a front row seat and watch the river take a brief northwest detour before turning southbound again toward St. Charles. It's about a 5 mile drive to the charming streets of downtown St. Charles to the south, and Elgin is 5 miles to the north. There is plenty of bike trail nearby, including a long bridge that runs diagonally across the big bend in the river. If you're into fishing, you can fish right from the property. There is also a public boat launch right in the neighborhood.
Check-in is at 4:00 and check-out is at 11:00. We generally need to stick to these times to be sure we have enough time to get everything ready in between guests.
Please be aware that this property is in a wooded area! Although we try to keep the critters away, it's prone to bugs and wildlife.
Fast Modern WiFi! Relax in a peaceful setting while enjoying the convenience of 210Mbps WiFi, delivered to the house via a fiber optic line.
The house is 43 miles from downtown Chicago, about an hour drive.
The house is 22 miles from Woodfield mall, a 30 minute drive.
The house is 10 miles from Santa's Village Azoosment Park, a 20 minute drive.
The house is 32 miles from O'Hare airport, and 42 miles from Midway airport.
If you're visiting in the winter, you may want to bring some slippers in case the floor is chilly.
We often get inquiries from individuals wishing to have large gatherings on our property. While we appreciate the interest, we only allow up to 12 visitors on the property at a time. It's a quiet neighborhood, and we don't want to draw too much attention to the place. We do hope to have a party rental one of these days!

Summary: We were in this area to attend a conference. This location was only 15 minutes away, yet it provided the peace and quiet we were looking for as a break from the busyness. Loved sitting by the river! All amenities were as described and more than adequate for our needs.
