Perfect stay
Everything was great from the moment we booked the house. Had great communication with the owner house was beautiful and very clean. There was a beautiful view of the lake. There was plenty of room for the family couldn’t have asked for more. She even had snacks for the dog and the kids turned out great but highly recommend again and for friends and family. We would definitely rent this house again, hands-down.

Lovely lake house!
Beautifully appointed with everything you’d need (except a hair dryer if you use one but that’s normal). What a wonderfully peaceful place to stay…I enjoyed a quiet cup of coffee on the upstairs deck with the sun keeping me warm on a seasonal December day. My husband and 12 year old enjoyed a few games of darts the night before-lots of board games too, to keep you entertained during the off lake season. Comfortable beds and lots of attention to detail-it was like staying with family (but only if your family is not around and not annoying like mine :)

Lake House
The lake house was beautifully decorated and smelled like Christmas walking through the door. Everything was clean & had anything you needed for a weekend stay. It was so comfy & cozy that I booked another day! Will rent again!!

Clean and updated
This updated Fox Lake property has a lot to offer, with multiple spots for families to relax. The host put a lot of thought into individual spaces and unexpectedly supplied some goodies that made the place feel even more special.

Great time
Place was clean and super cute with beautiful view. Right on the water so we took advantage of the dock and brought our inflatable paddle board and kayak and had a great time. Renting jet skis is close by as well! One note: for anyone that has trouble with stairs, there is a skinny spiral staircase to reach the lower level.
