This is my lead in: we planned a trip to London next year, canceled midway through this trip, and rebooked the Nest. THAT is how perfect it is. I rarely say anything is without flaws and I say it today. We loved this charming place from the minute we walked in. Kathleen, the manager, responded to me immediately when I couldn’t unlock the door. User error. She was always available, kind and helpful. We walked in to find gifts of Prosecco and some chocolates inside the gorgeous French door refrigerator. The house was pristinely clean, was appointed with high end everything and the views are breathtaking. Nothing is taken for granted here. The architect designed the Nest for best vantage point views, which is what we wanted. It’s cozy, the kitchen is a chef’s kitchen and I loved cooking there. Usually, I don’t enjoy cooking at rentals because the accoutrements are second hand cast-offs but all equipment here is best quality. Breville, Le Creuset, Cuisinart, and Crate and Barrel are just a few brands I used. I could cook happily and see the lake, too. We enjoyed the fireplaces, upstairs and in the bedroom, for the cool evenings, and when it was clear we could see Chicago! The beach is serene and we enjoyed being on it often, particularly for sunsets. It’s a lovely location for day trips further north but also a fine location on its own. We antiqued, ate well at plentiful restaurants and hiked the dunes. One day we never left the house because it’s just that wonderful. I read in the bedroom while my husband watched football in the living room. We had equally jaw dropping views. Nobody loses out in either room. The furniture is inviting and comfortable so you may never leave the house. We enjoyed the hot tub and I had several comfortable baths in the deep tub. This is a special place and I can’t wait to get back to our new “regular” vacation spot. It’s perfect.
