The hosts have tastefully updated this bungalow to combine the quaintness and details of an older lake home with a fresh contemporary style and features. The home offers plenty of space for for an extended family or a small group of friends--with four full bedrooms, a family-sized kitchen and abundant common areas including a large living area, a dining room and an stunning enclosed porch area. The stand-out feature is the deck, offering a sweeping view of the lake form its perch on the dune. We loved lounging on the deck, gazing at boats on the lake, the distant Chicago skyline and even the majesty of a passing thunderstorm. While we opted to try a couple of the many local restaurants, our favorite meals were cooked on the grill in front of this home and enjoyed on the back deck. Kelly and Dustin are great hosts, responding almost instantly to our couple questions. Overall, our experience might be summarized by my sister-in-law's comment "Wow, you found a real gem here!" We can't wait to return! ##### Tom B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gena C. 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Gena C.
