Take me back!

Marlene's villa was a dream. Too bad the weather wasn't cooperative as we would have loved to enjoy the beautiful gardens around the property more. Marlene was very attentive, communicative and accommodating. The hot tub was perfect. I can't wait to go back.

Easter Getaway

House was great, very large, everything you would need to relax and enjoy your stay. Backyard is amazing and great place to gather and hangout. Neighborhood isn’t perfect but never felt unsafe, appreciated the large fence and ability to park inside the fence. Overall great time would definitely stay there again.

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!!

About the host

Hosted by Marlene

My husband Charlie and I have four children, and two grandchildren. They are truly my love and my life. Aside from my family, I love creativity and beauty! Working with my team on this property and creating this sanctuary in the city has been one of my most rewarding journeys to date. I am a retired DCFS master trainer. Prior to that, my sculptures were to be found in many of the local stores and businesses including the lobbies of the Old Clock Tower resort. It has been my good fortune to have traveled extensively here and abroad over the years. This Spanish style home is reminiscent of what I have seen with pargeted embellishments and walls that could tell many tales. My vision is to see this, 'The Sedona of Rockford' as a Beacon of Light that inspires us all!

Why they chose this property

This property is a hidden treasure that has remained elusive to everyone I know. Its uniqueness to this part of the country is unparalleled in my view. It has been my honor to be able to bring it as they say, to the rainbow. We are all blessed.

What makes this property unique

My team and I have gone to great lengths in creating a seclusive environment. Close the gates behind you upon entering and you feel as though you are no longer in the city, but rather in the heart of another place and another time. Due to my sense of wishing for others the experience of the extraordinary, at every turn a flair of Funk along with tradition will be found.
