Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Z. 17 Sept 2018 #### Fantastic Home for Family Gateway Very nice house. It is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. There was more than enough room for our family of 5 to spread out. We especially appreciated the hardwood floor throughout the house. Fantastic location of the house just in the middle of the wooded area. Very peaceful surrounding with gorgeous views from all the windows. We felt at home in this house. We will definitely rent this house again while in Ilinois. ##### Anna Z. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda S. 4 Dec 2018 #### Idyllic country home for a weekend away I stayed in this house with a few friends for a weekend away. It was gorgeous. The view from the back windows alone was enough to make us never want to leave! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The host was responsive when I had a question. The only caution I have for potential renters is make sure you have a 4WD or AWD vehicle if you are coming when it might snow. My friend with a sedan got stuck and ended up sliding off the side of the driveway and we had a tough time getting her out. ##### Amanda S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Barb N. 25 Jun 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hot tub ROCKED!!! The highlight of the house was the hot tub! We LOVED it! We were in it each evening and it was awesome! The home was spacious and comfortable. It was awesome they had some personal hygiene items along with water at check it. The unfortunate issues was driveway was wash out and it was challenging for one of our cars. Maybe spraying for bugs to control them would have been nice too. It is a very private property which was awesome but with that comes lots of bugs which we experienced outside and ants inside. Otherwise we had an amazing time it it served us well. Thank you Clay! We would stay again for sure! ##### Barb N.

There were 3 adults and 3 teen baseball players, and we all had plenty of room. The kitchen and laundry room got a lot of use. The drive in and out of the property was beautiful and we loved being in horse country. We saw deer most days. The electronic door lock made life easy, and the TVs in each room were very nice to have, though we could not figure out how to use the Fubo account. We basically used our Netflix and Amazon accounts. It would have been nice to get some local TV , but I just didn’t make the time to contact the owner to help us. When we did communicate with Clay, he was very responsive. WiFi was excellent. The master bath was spacious with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Towels were plentiful and appreciated. The downstairs area with the big TV was great for the boys and their PlayStations. We did have to buy a large pot and cake pan, but those seemed to be the only items the kitchen didn’t have. Otherwise, it was really well stocked. We did use the hot tub (even though it was July). We had some sore athletes, and it was really nice for them to relax in. It worked perfectly. We spent some time in Barrington itself and had great food at Neoteca, great coffee at Conscious Cup, an amazing breakfast at Egg Harbor, incredible chocolates at Anderson Chocolates, and cold beers at McGonigal’s Pub. I grew up about an hour from here, but never actually spent much time in this area. It was a lot of fun exploring around the nearby towns when we weren’t watching the boys play baseball. There were plenty of indoor games at our disposal, which we did use. One suggestion…It would have been nice to have had some fishing poles to use in all the nearby lakes. All in all, the house was perfect for us. We truly appreciated the cleanliness and little welcoming extras that were supplied for us. Thank you to Clay and his family. ##### Nancy B.

Lots of space to roam but tons of places to gather. We had a blast walking around, playing games, hanging out on the porches and hot tub, and gathered by the fire. Definitely a bucolic neighborhood, but close enough to town to order a pizza! :) Would absolutely stay here again! ##### Alice F.

My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and is tucked away in the woods within a gorgeous horse-country neighborhood. At the same time, it’s very close to restaurants, shops, and interesting little towns. Or if you want more nature there are a number of parks, preserves, and lakes. You can also easily get to Chicago on the train. The house was very roomy, comfortable, and clean. Clay was a terrific host and we highly recommend the property. ##### Lynda M.

Amazing playroom for the kids, fully stocked kitchen with kid friendly dishes, games, kid books, plenty of of space for everyone, and a beautiful outdoor space. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of extra towels, TP, paper towels, etc. I think the only thing we had to run out and buy was something to lite the grill which we left there for the next guests. I would definitely reccomend this VRBO for anyone, but especially if you're traveling with kids. ##### Heather B.

It had a play room that my kids did not want to get out of a hot tub the teenagers loved and we saw deer every day. Life was good & peaceful for us this vacation even though I had heart aurgery. If you’re coming for any medical procedure to recover it is the best place to recover & quiet. ##### Aimee H.

Communication was excellent, house was exactly what we needed space wise, it was clean, fully stocked kitchen. The property was a prefect escape from reality and gave a place for my boys to run and play. We all enjoyed watching and listening to nature, which was all around use. Very private secluded lot. ##### Amanda S.

The fireplace is beautiful; we used it daily with the wood provided. The grownups enjoyed the hot tub. The kids loved the play room, which is geared towards younger kids (6 and under). Kitchen is well-stocked and allowed us to cook in many meals. Agree with other reviewers that beds could stand to be updated as we only found one to be comfortable. Overall, great place and enjoyable stay. ##### Aya O.

I was worried that since barrington is still a suburb it wouldn’t feel like a getaway, but the location was great! It was super quiet, surrounded by woods, and you can’t see any other neighbors. Check in was easy and clay was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We felt safe and the property was well cleaned. Both the fireplace and hot tub were in great condition and made for a great end of winter getaway. We’ll definitely look to stay again! Only feedback would be that three of the four beds were really uncomfortable. The blue room downstairs had the best bed, which was fine for the two of us since we only needed one room and bed. A heads up that the driveway is gravel and decently plowed but can have some icy spots, and other than the front walkway other paths and stairs weren’t well shoveled and I fell down a couple times taking my dog for a walk (love that it was pet friendly though!) ##### Megan R.
