We had 9 family members who came from 3 different states. We enjoyed the beautiful view and the access to the kayaks, paddle boards, and the pontoon boat. The house is well stocked with all of the essentials one would need to cook meals at home. Our host was very responsive and ensured we had a wonderful stay.

Family Fun

The property was wonderful and had everything we needed. It has been a hot summer and unfortunately the lake was green with algae with lots of dead fish. Something the owner has no control over.

Wilmont Ski Weekend

We had a great time at this property! It was clean and comfy with great views. Located about 15 mins from Wilmont was great for our family and friends to use the hot tub and recuperate after a long day of skiing! The host is very communicative and thoughtful.

Skiing Getaway!

We had a wonderful time! The place was great and just as described! While the temperatures dipped down into the negative numbers, we had the best time on the nearby slopes and enjoyed the hot tub, heated garage, fireplace, and black-stone. The house had everything we needed. We cooked all our meals for the weekend there and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories with family and friends!!

Amazing week!

This place was fabulous!! We immediately felt at home in Will’s clean, comfortable, well-stocked house with the great deck and lovely lake view. We rented the pontoon and enjoyed fishing and boating. We also used Will’s kayaks, paddle board and huge floating mat (“Lily pad”) a lot. The new, sturdy stairs into the water were a huge bonus- many lake places don’t have that. My 86 year old mom and my young grandson could get into the water easily! There’s a nice ping-ping table, firepit, firewood, and a cozy hot tub. Communication from start to finish was excellent!! Will was VERY responsive and helpful. The location was super, because my daughter and son-in-law could easily zip back to their home/work in Chicago as needed, and my son was able to fly in from Florida and it was a short trip from O’Hare. The lake was very close to grocery stores and convenient to go see the impressive water ski show in Twin Lakes and go to bars/restaurants on nearby Fox Lake and Lake Marie. Antioch is a cute town as well. I highly recommend Will’s awesome house on Lake Shangrila!!

Wonderful lake getaway!

A large group of us went here for a girls' weekend before a wedding, and we had a fantastic time. The lake is great for swimming, and the property is beautiful with a firepit we used for s'mores. The house was set up really nicely for big groups, with plenty of seating inside where we could all be together chatting and hanging out, and a big table on the patio where we all fit to eat meals outdoors. There were plenty of comfy beds with fantastic mattresses and comforters so we all slept great! Will was very flexible and responsive to messages and let us have a late checkout since no one was coming in after us, which made our last day so much easier and more pleasant. We loved our time at Lake Shangri-La and would love to come back!
