Charming Victorian cottage near the Rock River

Welcome to Cariad Cottage!

In Welsh, "cariad" is a term of endearment for "darling" and I think it's a perfect name. Under 2 hours from most of Chicagoland, Oregon, IL is an ideal spot for couples or friends who want the feeling of "getting away" without being too far from home. Relax and recharge, or get moving on the 100s of miles of biking and hiking trails in the area.

THE SPACE
Enjoy your coffee and the sunrise from the three-season room or the screened-in porch; nestle in for a nostalgic VHS tape or DVD; or get your work done in the study.

GUEST ACCESS
You'll have access to the whole house except storage areas in the basement. These off-limits areas are clearly designated.

SECURITY SYSTEM
There is a Ring doorbell with video and audio recording capabilities. A security camera is also located in the off-limits area in the basement.

Celebration of Life
We came to honor my brother and your home was the perfect spot for it. I moved from Oregon in 1978 and come back often . It was so great to look at all your memorabilia . It was comfortable with all the extra blankets as we sat and talked about old times. We sat at the table for breakfast and we’re happy with all it. I can’t wait to come back and sit in the screened in porch and watch all the squirrels run and play.The beds were all comfortable so we were able to get some good sleep. I would defiantly recommend staying here. Thank you for sharing your home.

Quaint, Quiet, Clean and Comfy
We stayed for 5 days. Place was very clean and well stocked with everything you would need for a short stay. The beds were comfy and the house was cozy warm on what were the coldest days of the winter. Great neighborhood. Very quite. Highly recommend and will stay again when back in town.

Charming, well maintained property
We had a pleasant stay in this charming cottage in town Oregon, Illinois. It’s clean and they had everything needed. It’s a well-maintained property that was great for the two of us, although there is room for more. The owners of the property are very courteous and responsive. You can walk to the town center, it’s not super close, but certainly walkable. Plus, it’s on a beautiful street so it’s a nice walk. The area is also quiet, which is nice. We thought the beds were comfortable, which is especially important to us. The second bedroom is small, but functional. Overall, I recommend the property if you are okay with staying in a charming older cottage. We would stay again.
