Weekend Get Away with Friends

the location is perfect, the garage is the perfect set up for a good time, the house was clean and had everything needed, with tons of instructions/labels for any questions you might have. rented a boat from down the block and docked at the house when not on the lake. Highly recommend this place. (bugs could be bad at night with the lights on)

Long Weekend on Chain o’ Lakes

Jeff’s place is a perfect spot to enjoy the Chain o’ Lakes. It’s about a 3 minute walk from Port of Blarney, which has some pretty good drinks and food. They also have a shuttle that takes you out to Blarney Island, which was a blast! We also rented a pontoon boat for a day right next to there from OTC Rental and had a blast on that. The house is nice and clean. There are 3 bedrooms on the upper floor that comfortably sleep 8 adults, but you could sleep a handful more if desired. The garage is so cool and a great place to hang out and sing some karaoke. Only slight downside was that it was a bit buggy in the area (at least this time of year), so make sure to pack bug spray. Also, the front door lock wasn’t seeming to work for us to lock the place when we were there, but Jeff told us of a way around it that ended up working fine for us. I would highly recommend renting Jeff’s place. It is a great spot in a great location for fun on the Chain!

Navy boot camp family

I was hesitant to book this house due to distance to Navy boot camp graduation and not knowing the area. I am so glad I did not let either of those things stop me. This was a beautiful home in a great area. Very clean and fully stocked. Jeff was amazing and very quick to help with our coffee pot needs. We were able to chill with our new sailor the whole weekend and has everything we needed to just enjoy him. Thank you so much Jeff for sharing your home with us these are memories we will never forget.

A family celebration/early Thanksgiving worth repeating!

This was exactly what we were looking for, centrally located for my family. Whether coming in from O’Hare, the city, or one of the suburbs getting to the property was easy. The game room brought out everyone’s competitive nature with lots of laughter, clapping,, and shrieks of glee! Truly a family weekend to remember and hopefully do again!

Fantastic well-equipped getaway from the city

Jeff’s place has all you need - beautiful location right on the water, kayak and canoe to use, huge house with ample beds and seating, and karaoke, card table, and basketball in the heated garage. Lots of thoughtful touches like black out curtains separating the bed spaces in the two spare rooms which were essential with kids. We were two small families with young kids and we had a blast! Hosts were quick to respond, and even went the extra mile returning some items we left behind. You won’t be disappointed!
