We had a great stay. The property feels private for how close it is to the city, and we had everything we needed to hang out, cook meals, and enjoy ourselves.
It was exactly what we hoped for - away from it all & restorative. A beautiful piece of property and would definitely go back again!

Shelly and her group were wonderful guests! They asked great questions about our Lakehouse in advance of their stay and were a pleasure to work with. Shelly took excellent care of our home while they were there and we found the place to be very clean after their departure. We would definitely rent to them again anytime!
This is a fabulous lake house. Me and my family had a really fun time. House is very secluded, lots of space in the house and the property, close to Chicago, plenty of nature to enjoy. We hope to come back again.

Carlos so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Great family to host. Until next time stay healthy & safe travels.
This was our second time at this location and we will be back again. The location is out of this world. It feels like you are in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, however, it's right here in Illinois. Plenty of room for extended family to spread out and the lake and fishing is outstanding.

Thank you for choosing the lakehouse. So glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again. Always welcome at the lakehouse or lake cabin. Wonderful group to host.
Everyone enjoyed their stay here. Kids loved the swings, large yard, and fire pit for s’mores. Fishing was great. Nice that there’s a Dollar general pretty close for last minute items. Despite a few issues we let the owners know about, we will come back again. So quiet and relaxing.

Thank you for choosing the Lakehouse. We look forward to your next visit. So glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. We appreciate our guest recommendation and try to accommodate to make our home your home when stay with us. Great group to host.
Property was better than anticipated. Had 15 of us and were very comfortable in house and outside. Had a lot of fun fishing. Kids enjoyed playing in the water. Only downfall was no dishwasher.
We had a great experience and stay. The property is in a great secluded location with a decent pond. There were just a few things the property didn’t have that we found out via reviews or on arrival but it wasn’t anything too major. Great play, we would stay again in the future.

Breana,
Thank you for choosing the Lake House. You and your guest are always welcome back.
We chose to find a place that looked relaxing and peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This property met and exceeded all our expectations. We were able to get away from the busyness of the holiday season and just be present with each other. The walking trails, playground area, ping pong and pool tables were great options for fun entertainment. There was plenty of sleeping spaces and the kitchen had everything we needed. The scenery was spectacular with a beautiful lake and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. 10/10 recommend to others.

Thank you for choosing the Lakehouse for your getaway. You and your guest are always welcome back.
The description of the property was accurate. Pond is close to unusable for swimming, but fine to use the boats provided. Large yard great for outdoor time. No towels or shower soap on property. Overall, the property was just what we needed and nothing more. We enjoyed our stay.

so glad you enjoyed your stay. Always welcome back at the lakehouse.
Our family has visited this property 3 different times. It is a quiet, relaxing and very spacious property. We especially enjoy the big fire pit, swing set, yard for soccer/bocce, the game room and the views from the deck. We plan ahead with any specialty items we will need in the kitchen (the basics are there but we've needed to supplement with items from home). I expect we will be back again next year!

Our family had a great time. Nice accommodations; everything we needed. Very quiet and peaceful. Only complaint is I was told when I asked that the lake was free of algae blooms, which surprised me since it was late July. In actuality, it was about 1/3 covered in algae. In fairness, the swimming area was pretty clear.

Thank you for choosing the lake house we are glad you enjoyed your stay. As we all know we have no control over mother-nature. The algae can change from one day to the next, I'm glad you and your guest enjoyed your stay and were able to enjoy our home and the lake. Until next time safe travels. Thanks again for choosing the Lake House.
The property is huge and secluded which is a plus. We enjoyed fire pits at night and hiking during the day. Lake is footsteps away to fish and row boat. This time we did not get lucky with the fish. Kids enjoyed the swings and slide and the game room. This was our second year in a row coming here and are looking forward to next time. Great family memories to be made here!

Carlos & guest are a great group to host. always welcome at the lake house or lake cabin. Thank you for being great guest
This is the second year in a row that our group of friends and family have stayed at the property. I would echo everything from the first review without hesitation. Great hosts to work with and a very well-stocked and maintained house. The outside is truly where we spend most of our time with an enormous lot for any activity desired. The pictures are great but don’t do the property justice - it’s a wonderful place to spend time and make memories. Thanks again, Jeff & Vicki!

Thank You again for choosing the Lake House for your getaway. We welcome your feedback and comments this helps us to grow. We appreciate the time you took to review your stay . You and your guest are always welcome back at the Lake House.
We stayed at the lakehouse as a weekend getaway from Chicago. The house was very clean and exactly as described! We only had 7 people, but the house could accommodate a much larger group. Great outdoor space! We enjoyed the canoe and fire pit. I only took off a star because we had trouble with the AC cooling down the house and there was a wasps next outside on the top of the A frame. We had to get a few of them out of the house upon arrival. Would recommend for a getaway with family or friends!
House very well kept, beautiful views, secluded from everything, private drive way, gated property. Stores 7 mins away. Plenty of firewood. Game room was on point. No bath towels was the only down side, I assumed there will be towels. Great property, definitely added to my favorite, will definitely be back. Thankyou

There are 3 areas of concern. One wasp colony in attic buzzing around. Two, probably related to time of year but many insects in room above game room. Lastly, there was no griddle for cooking 🥞.

Stephen so glad you and your guest had a good time. thank you for bring your concerns to our attention we will address your concerns. Great group to host.
This house had it all for our annual family guys trip. On the inside: plenty of clean beds, beautiful furnishings and very new kitchens and floors. Great to watch TV in the family room(s), enjoy drinks by the bar, and cook anything we needed. On the outside: very well maintained grounds, excellent fire pit area, gorgeous deck and patio area, and a picturesque lake for views 24-7.
Our group of 9 was very comfortable for the duration and the amenities exceeded expectations. Communication with the hosts were always answered within 30 minutes, and everything was set up such that we needed no assistance for the entire trip.
Thanks Jeff & Vicki for a great time!
