Adorable 2-bedroom home near downtown Grayslake!
Welcome to Mellow Yellow, an adorable home with everything you need. Located close to downtown Grayslake where you will find restaurants, bars and cute hometown stores. Walk to Jones Island to relax on the beach or head to the Aquatic Family Center for a dip in the pool. Enjoy nearby attractions, Lake County Fairgrounds, Six Flags Great America, Great Lakes Naval Base, and Gurnee Mills Mall, or spend the day in Chicago which is 29 miles. Check out my guidebook for places to eat and visit!
Adorable home with hardwood floors throughout. Kitchen is nicely updated. Both bedrooms have newer queen beds. Bathroom is not large but functional. Great deck in backyard and large shaded backyard.

Why they chose this property
I've owned this property for some time now and have used it as a long-term rental. I always liked the idea of providing short-term rental for people and being able to meet and get to know people from all over the world so I decided in 2022 to start having it as a vacation rental. :). But don't worry, I'll let you decide how much communication you want. :) I'm always available for any questions.
What makes this property unique
Grayslake is in a perfect location and close to so many things. You can have a quiet and relaxing getaway. There are also many attractions close by including Six Flags Great America, Great Lakes Naval Base, Chain of Lakes, Gurnee Mills Mall, Independence Grove and Chicago.
