The outdoor space is magical at night with string lights strung throughout the yard. The space is renovated with high end finishes of handmade tiles, marble and quartz.
This hidden getaway is a cozy beach cottage located on a wooded private lot with beautiful river views. The home is completely renovated to reflect a calm coast vibe. Enjoy taking the kayas out to the water, sitting on the beach watching all the boats go by or cooking up some food on the gas grill. Enjoy an evening outside roasting marshmallows and sipping some wine by the wood firepit. Inside snuggle up on the couch by the wood burning fireplace.

This was our second time here and was great as the first time. Its the prefect location for our event at Canlan Sports. We've already booked for next year even!Thanks!
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.
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.
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 all had a wonderful time at the place. The house itself is wonderful, with comfy beds, lots of space, and a very well kept property. The neighborhood was welcoming and we all were really happy with the entire experience.
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
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!
Amanda was wonderful to work with! Super quick responses when we had questions. We had a lovely stay…clean, neat, organized, everything we needed to have a comfortable, restful stay at the home away from home!
