We had a great stay! The house was perfect & looked exactly like the photos. The house felt safe and secure and as a group of girls traveling, that’s such a great feeling!! Amanda was great and was very quick to resolve an issue that we had (no fault of hers or the house). 10/10!

We found the booking process, communication with our host and the accommodations to be top shelf. Though we missed the best season for enjoying the water, the Fall setting is still welcoming.

Super cute little house on a lake. Recently remodeled, thoughtful decor. I went on a girls trip, there were three of us and it was nice that there was space for us to each have our own room. The living room was great to hang out in, very comfy. We really enjoyed the fire pit area and took the kayaks out on the lake. The kitchen was cute and we loved the coffee provided, but was quite small and not especially well stocked (no serving bowls, for instance). Town of Barrington is adorable and we enjoyed the farmers market, otherwise it’s a suburban area

Love this cottage

We actually enjoyed everything about staying at this property. The host was incredibly responsive, the house is clean. It had everything we needed. Lots of sleeping space. We only wish we could’ve enjoyed the lake more. We had plans for most of the time, but it was serene, and I have definitely referred a couple of my friends to it for future use. If we come to Chicago area again, we will definitely stay here. The location was great as well, close to lots of shopping and restaurants, but yet quiet and relaxing.

Great place to stay

We had a fantastic stay at Amanda’s place. The home is beautiful, and right by water. It’s peaceful and has a fantastic backyard with beautiful lights! We used the kitchen through the weekend and it was well stocked. The only real issue we had was the smell in the water. Because the water is well water it has a fish like smell and so we opted to drink only bottled water though Amanda did assure us it was safe. One bathroom can also be an issue depending on the size of the group but our group of 5 was able to make it work. Amanda was incredibly responsive and solved any problems we had quickly. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quaint getaway!
