Property was better than anticipated. Had 15 of us and were very comfortable in house and outside. Had a lot of fun fishing. Kids enjoyed playing in the water. Only downfall was no dishwasher.
We chose to find a place that looked relaxing and peaceful and away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This property met and exceeded all our expectations. We were able to get away from the busyness of the holiday season and just be present with each other. The walking trails, playground area, ping pong and pool tables were great options for fun entertainment. There was plenty of sleeping spaces and the kitchen had everything we needed. The scenery was spectacular with a beautiful lake and gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. 10/10 recommend to others.
The description of the property was accurate. Pond is close to unusable for swimming, but fine to use the boats provided. Large yard great for outdoor time. No towels or shower soap on property. Overall, the property was just what we needed and nothing more. We enjoyed our stay.
This property is beautiful. Exactly as stated in the listing. Great canoe. Great Johnboat. We brought our paddle board. A kayak would be fun on the lake. Kids swam off dock in middle of lake. Kitchen is well appointed. Cute bar area downstairs- nice to have an extra frig. Need to bring own bath towels and washcloths. Air conditioning worked well.
Guest house was perfect for our teenagers. Multiple TVs and cable were great as well.
Plenty of space for a big group. Fire pit with plenty of firewood.
Very nice home, plenty of space for 15 - kids, adults, and 2 under age 18 months. Made it very easy to get in. I text with questions we had and they responded quickly with the answers. Loved all the outdoor seating and fire pit. Bunk house was a hugh hit. All 5 girls fit nicely upstairs to sleep. They had to come over to lake house for the bathroom though. The sandy beach they said was there is more like a place to park the boats. John Boat leaked, we flex taped it so we could use it. Paddle boat did not have a steering mechanism so we took the canoe paddles out with it to steer with. Loved the canoe, ping pong and pool table. Swing set and slide are a nice touch. Did a little fishing. Neighbors on otherside of lake did not bother us with their party's. All around great stay.
House was nice and big for our group of 10 ladies. The pond wasn’t swimmable but we did use the canoe. The duckweed covers the surface in the morning and moves over throughout the day so if you are brave enough you could swim in the evening. The paddle boat wasn’t steerable. The upstairs kitchen is well stocked. The only way to get from the ground floor to the upper kitchen is either the spiral staircase or the back outdoor stairs. Tons of nature and animals all over. There was an issue with the water pressure on our last day but communication with the host went well and we tried our best conserve what we could. The house had a few towels but definitely bring your own as well as your own soap/Shampoo. Easy check in process and super private location. Grill is charcoal so bring charcoal if you plan to use. Nice trail system in the back woods.
We had a great stay. The property feels private for how close it is to the city, and we had everything we needed to hang out, cook meals, and enjoy ourselves.
Great weekend!! Activities for all, fishing was great, pool table and ping pong were also a great hit! Good times had by all and accommodations were great!

Hidden Gem!
Great lake house close to home! Perfect set up for family get together. Game room perfect for the kids with their own sleeping quarters. Loved the views and lots of time on the lake! Kids loved access to the
canoe!
This is a fabulous lake house. Me and my family had a really fun time. House is very secluded, lots of space in the house and the property, close to Chicago, plenty of nature to enjoy. We hope to come back again.
This was our second time at this location and we will be back again. The location is out of this world. It feels like you are in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, however, it's right here in Illinois. Plenty of room for extended family to spread out and the lake and fishing is outstanding.
Everyone enjoyed their stay here. Kids loved the swings, large yard, and fire pit for s’mores. Fishing was great. Nice that there’s a Dollar general pretty close for last minute items. Despite a few issues we let the owners know about, we will come back again. So quiet and relaxing.
We had a great experience and stay. The property is in a great secluded location with a decent pond. There were just a few things the property didn’t have that we found out via reviews or on arrival but it wasn’t anything too major. Great play, we would stay again in the future.
Our family has visited this property 3 different times. It is a quiet, relaxing and very spacious property. We especially enjoy the big fire pit, swing set, yard for soccer/bocce, the game room and the views from the deck. We plan ahead with any specialty items we will need in the kitchen (the basics are there but we've needed to supplement with items from home). I expect we will be back again next year!
Our family had a great time. Nice accommodations; everything we needed. Very quiet and peaceful. Only complaint is I was told when I asked that the lake was free of algae blooms, which surprised me since it was late July. In actuality, it was about 1/3 covered in algae. In fairness, the swimming area was pretty clear.
The property is huge and secluded which is a plus. We enjoyed fire pits at night and hiking during the day. Lake is footsteps away to fish and row boat. This time we did not get lucky with the fish. Kids enjoyed the swings and slide and the game room. This was our second year in a row coming here and are looking forward to next time. Great family memories to be made here!
We stayed at the lakehouse as a weekend getaway from Chicago. The house was very clean and exactly as described! We only had 7 people, but the house could accommodate a much larger group. Great outdoor space! We enjoyed the canoe and fire pit. I only took off a star because we had trouble with the AC cooling down the house and there was a wasps next outside on the top of the A frame. We had to get a few of them out of the house upon arrival. Would recommend for a getaway with family or friends!
