Welcome to the Cottage at Hidden Creek Estates, a peaceful countryside retreat located on our 77-acre estate in Roscoe, Illinois. Just a short drive from Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee, the cottage offers the perfect setting for a relaxing weekend getaway or a quiet midweek escape.
The cottage comfortably sleeps up to eight guests and features a main-level king bedroom, a second main-level bedroom with a queen bed, and a lower-level bedroom with two full beds. Two full bathrooms are located on the main level for convenience.
The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, island seating, and a coffee station with Nespresso, a drip coffee maker, and locally roasted Yaggy Road Roasting Co. coffee to start your mornings.
Guests can relax in the comfortable living room or step outside to the private deck just off the kitchen, which features outdoor seating and a fire feature—perfect for unwinding after dinner or enjoying quiet evenings on the estate.
One of the most unique aspects of staying here is the ability to walk to Hidden Creek’s on-site restaurant and wine bar located in the iconic yellow barn. Guests can enjoy chef-driven cuisine, curated wines, fine whiskeys, and seasonal dining experiences just steps from the cottage.
During your stay, you are welcome to explore the estate’s 3.5 miles of scenic walking trails and enjoy the half-acre pond for catch-and-release fishing during designated hours.
The cottage itself is fully private for guests. A secure interior service door separates the cottage from a staff-only operational area with no shared guest space.
Hidden Creek Estates offers a peaceful countryside setting while still being conveniently located near Rockford and Beloit and just minutes from I-90, making it an easy drive from Chicago, Madison, and Milwaukee.
Whether visiting for a relaxing getaway, a small gathering with friends, or a quiet midweek retreat, the Cottage at Hidden Creek Estates offers a unique blend of comfort, nature, and exceptional dining.
Check-in and Check-out

Check-out is by 10:00 AM to allow time for housekeeping to prepare the home for the next guests. Early check-in or late check-out may be available upon request depending on availability.

Estate Setting
The cottage is located on the grounds of Hidden Creek Estates, which includes our restaurant and hospitality operations. Guests may occasionally see staff or visitors elsewhere on the property during restaurant hours, but the cottage itself remains private. A secure interior service door separates the cottage from a staff-only operational area and is not accessible to guests.
Alcohol Policy
Due to our restaurant’s liquor license, outside alcohol is permitted only on the private cottage deck. Alcohol may not be brought to other areas of the estate, including the restaurant grounds, trails, or common areas.
Pets
Well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval and a pet fee. Guests are responsible for supervising their pets and cleaning up after them while on the property.

Smoking or vaping is not permitted inside the cottage.
Fishing
Catch-and-release fishing is available at the estate pond during designated hours when the property is not open to the public.
Restaurant and Wine Bar
Guests are welcome to enjoy the on-site restaurant and wine bar located in the yellow barn. Hours may vary seasonally, so we recommend checking current hours during your stay.
Parking
Parking is available on the property. Please park only in designated guest areas.
Respect for the Property
Please treat the cottage and estate grounds with care so they may be enjoyed by future guests.
Located in Winnebago County, this cottage is on the waterfront. McEachran Homestead Winery and Macktown Golf Course are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Hononegah Forest Preserve and Rock Cut State Park. Traveling with kids? Consider Laura Aldrich Neese Performing Arts Center, or check out an event or a game at ABC Supply Stadium. Fishing offers a great chance to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and hiking/biking trails nearby.
