Also quick communication and someone able to be on site super fast when we had an issue during the stay. The back of the house faces west over the water so you can watch the sunset from the hot tub. Would love to come back again when the weather is better! ##### Brett H.

It was right by the lake and great for my grandchildren to kayak and fish. The fishing wasn't very good but I think it had to do with the heavy boat traffic over the 4th. The house was well stocked for our cooking needs. The hot tub was also great, especially in the evenings. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it. ##### Raymond A. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lady A. 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 1 with nature... As soon as we arrived, I INSTANTLY felt the tension leave my shoulders and knots disappear out of my neck. I went straight to the picturesque backyard lakeview & listened to the ducks and birds until sunset that was magestically magenta. I HAD to go LIVE on Facebook!!! Everyone loved the post & chimed in. It was thee perfect start to my birthday weekend! I was intimidated to operate the grill but the owner was MORE than happy to call us and carefully walk us through - step by step. Now , we're bonafide experts .... LOL, self proclaimed - that is. The jacuzzi was the cherry on top! We enjoyed it very much, almost as much as the firepit. We sincerely hated to leave. The lines of communication were EXCELLENT & EXPEDITIOUS, very friendly. Our only complaint is the way the water smelt, a little swampy. But I guess that maybe something out of their immediate control. Coming from NYC, it was a great getaway and change of scenery. Beware, if you make plans in the city limits of Chicago, leave 3 hours prior to your ETA. NO EXAGGERATION, distance and traffic are A!L!O!T! ##### Lady A.

The hot tub was great after a day spent at Six Flags which is only about 20 minutes away. We also enjoyed roller skating at the nearby rink that was only a few miles away.

The view of the lake and birds was lovely from the slider and windows. The queen bed we used was comfortable and had smoooth sheets. Relaxing in the hot tub each evening after a day of walking (41 miles on the boots in 6 days) soothed the bones, and the kitchen with gas range, oven and broiler produced many fine meals. Steve and Willow were easy to work with and they kept in touch via email to offer suggestions and see if there was anything we needed. The house is just across the street from a lovely forest preserve, and within about 10 miles of four other forest preserves that provided hours of beautiful walking. Would we come back - you bet! ##### Linda C.

House was clean and well stocked with linens. The back deck and patio are perfect for taking in the sunset! Owners were very responsive with any questions I had before and during our stay. I would recommend and can’t wait to go back! ##### Rachel K.

There wasn't too much to do for my kids (ages 2 and 4). We thought we were closer to a beach. There was a private beach nearby but it was unclear if we were able to use it. The owners are very friendly and responsive and communicate regularly. There was a small issue that popped up during our stay and they came over to fix the problem that night. Just a heads up, the well water did stain my ring, my daughter's blond hair, and a white shirt of my husband's from a load of laundry we did while staying there. My ring came clean with cleaner when we got home. Not the biggest deal with the shirt and hair but a heads up if you have anything super important. Either request early check in or have a plan B for things to do if you get to the house early. The door doesn't unlock until 4 on the dot. We would. Definitely consider going there again. It might be better for slightly older kids. Very clean, well kept, cute decor. ##### Emily K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jinky M. 18 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### It was awesome place we love it .. so relaxing.
