Birthday celebration
A wonderful weekend spent with family. Although it rained throughout the weekend, the activities provided within the house were enough to make this a memorable weekend. Our family had a wonderful time and Layla and John were fabulous hosts and very helpful. We so appreciate them sharing their beautiful home!

Fabulous property -Strongly Recommend
John and Layla are terrific owners - great to communicate with. Wonderful property for many reason including parking for many cars. The house is VERY clean, kitchen well stocked with almost every pan you would need. Including items you don’t often get such as spices cooking spray, plastic bags and wrap/ foil, and so much more, GREAT internet connection! The beds and bedding were well above the norm. The king bed was so comfortable I didn’t miss my sleep number ! And, our adult children said the same about the three queen rooms. The bunk room was not conducive for big teenage boys- The outside “stuff” was plentiful ping pong, foosball, air hockey, kayaks, rowboat, & Canoe- And more. We rented the pontoon boat, which made a world of difference because the lake is very small. I should’ve paid more attention to the details listed about the property- The house access to the lake is a bit of a challenge for anybody with even slight mobility challenges Inside stairs going from the main floor to the basement and Lake access have approx 12 steps. From the basement there are 20 steps down to the lake that only have a railing on one side- Finally, the quiet hour definition that included the screened in porch is a challenge when you have 7 teenagers between 14 and 17. Essentially we had to go in the house at 9 and with only one TV in basement it was difficult to find a place for a large group ( 12) to gather at night.

Great Family Spot!
Layla and John were incredible hosts! It felt like we were staying with family. The home is beautiful and can host lots of people, especially if you book the coach house as well. Lots of fun games and activities for people of all ages! It is a great spot for folks in both Chicago and Milwaukee to get away. My family is from both places and it was a perfect meet up location. Highly recommend!
