We could not have been happier with our stay at the Cozy Lakefront Getaway! The home is clean, comfortable, and well-stocked! The new deck overlooking beautiful Palmer Lake is the perfect spot for morning coffee, and an evening glass of wine! Check-in and check-out were seamless and Craig was a pleasure to work with! Thank you for sharing your home with our family!

Great Lake Vacation!

This is our second summer at this property and we were not disappointed. The deck is a new addition and nice gathering space for games, eating, etc. Swimming off the dock is great and the large yard gives space to play out of the water. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place to stay! We keep coming back! Inside is spacious, clean, beds are comfortable and has everything you need! Has a beautiful deck that we used in the morning to sit and drink coffee and enjoy the lake and at night we just enjoyed watching everyone on the lake and then the sunset. Craig has lights strung so you can stay out longer into the evening! Great dock to swim off! Craig is wonderful to work with!

We stayed here for our 20th wedding anniversary and it was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The house is well stocked with anything you could need. The addition of the porch is wonderful! It’s the perfect place to watch the sun rise and set and have coffee in the morning. The tree provides the perfect shade on a sunny day and the lake is beautiful. Beds are comfortable and there is plenty of seating for a large family. We caught some decent size largemouth bass and enjoyed fishing. We had a wonderful stay and Craig is very communicative. Check in/out was easy. We will definitely be back next year!!

Great as always

Well maintained lake home that our family of 4 and our dog have now stayed at three times. Listing as described and it’s a convenient and reasonable ride from Chicago. Kids enjoyed the magic capital of the world (including a show), local ambiance, fishing, bonfires, and jumping in the lake. Hope to visit again!

Perfect Getaway

We were looking for someplace quiet, peaceful but with some lake fun! This place checked all the boxes. We had a fantastic time, swimming, enjoying the large yard, fishing, etc. The house was clean, kitchen was stocked with appliances, pots and pans better than anything we have ever stayed at! Our kids loved it and already have asked when we can go back!

Second time staying

We enjoyed our stay last year so much, we came again. Got to enjoy the water - swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. Went to the parks in town, magic show/shop, and some of the local restaurants. Home is in great condition with a lovely lot and view, and Craig was super responsive. Thanks for having us again!

Relaxing Getaway

This was a last minute booking for us, and it was very pleasant. The house was very clean and well stocked with towels. It also had basic spices and oils for cooking. The house is located on a fairly quiet street, which was nice because we could let our pup off leash a little bit for some exercise. The pup also enjoyed jumping off the dock and swimming; the stairs made getting out of the water easy. The lake seemed to be a 'fishing' type lake, more for boating than swimming in my limited opinion. It was very nice relaxing by the water, especially in the shade of the big tree out front, just beware of the goose droppings.
