Well maintained, clean and has just about anything you would need to enjoy the time spent there. The powers were extremely responsive to any issues reported or questions we had. My family greatly enjoyed the time spent there.

We absolutely loved it and the house was great! So clean and spacious! The only downside is the water in the canal isn’t swimmable. The house and property itself. 10/10!!

A group of 8 of us wanted to get away from Chicago for the weekend and enjoy a fun lake weekend! John and Stephanie's place was just that!The place was perfect for what we wanted and had plenty of space! The backyard was huge and the deck / fire pit area was awesome. We also rented a pontoon boat while there and it was great having a place to dock up overnight.Out of everything, I would say the friendliness and communication of the hosts was by far the best part. They were speedy and helpful with everyone!10/10 recommend this place if you are looking for a fun weekend get away!

Great place

Amazing place with great hospitality. The place includes everything you may think you need including kitchen essentials to even entertainment. Lots of games to keep the family busy and even kayaks were included. Take a rest near the fire pit with calming atmosphere. Would recommend to all my family and friends.

Relaxing, well-appointed getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at Puckaway Place. The furniture and beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were thoughtful touches everywhere. The owners dropped off firewood for us to use, had kayaks and life preservers for us to use in the water, and the air hockey and foosball tables got lots of use. There were even grilling tools to use with the gas grill, and a nice outdoor living room on the deck. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had, and we felt very welcome. One pro tip, the grocery store is a little ways away since this house is nestled so beautifully among the nature preserves, so you’ll probably want to make sure to plan your shopping ahead of time to maximize your relaxing time at this quiet location. We highly recommend staying here.

Could have been 5 star

House interior is very nice, almost better than the pictures. Seems to be otherwise unkept. There were Plumbing issues during our stay that they said would be repaired after we left. They advertise a washer/dryer but they don't actually have them. Master bathroom door won't shut, towel hooks aren't into wood so they're falling off the wall.Exterior was a mess. Old rags left along the sidewalk, weeds growing amongst the entire firepit surround, firewood stacked in tall grass, weeds growing up through the deck stairs, weeds growing up through the dock, im talking to the point that you need to check yourself for ticks. It was mowed before we arrived but must have been a while ago because you could graze horses off of the huge clippings.The coy pond was actually just stagnant mosquito water with interior grade wire ran outdoors . The canal is so mossy that you cannot drop a worm in to fish from the dock. Forget kayacking unless you want to paddle moss into your hair with every stride. Not what you'd expect when paying for a place.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take all guest comments seriously and strive to provide the best experience possible. We are truly sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations as we accommodated an early check in and provided a ton of information regarding local attractions, per your request. Our team works hard to ensure the property is prepared and cared for to the highest standard, and we do everything we can to accommodate our guests' needs. However, we were disappointed to find that the property was left in an unacceptable condition, with trash and several personal items left behind. Additionally, we were surprised to discover that all of the toilets were blocked, which required us to hire a plumber. It was found that an excessive amount of wipes and other non-flushable products had been flushed, which caused the issue. We also want to clarify that the property is maintained regularly by professional landscapers, and we do provide complimentary firewood for our guests. While we strive to keep all areas tidy, there are occasional weeds that can grow through the wood pile, especially after rain or over time. We always aim to provide a positive experience, and we're sorry if any of these matters impacted your stay.
