Great last minute vacation. Easy check-in and check-out. All amenities available from coffee pot to washer /dryer - extra towels and even Bluetooth speaker . Lilly pad was huge hit as was fishing. Plenty of space to hang out and yet kids had their area with bunks bed and queen bed that they thought was awesome. Shower pressure and hot water were great. Will definitely rent again .

We were able to bring our shed-free pups with us to enjoy hiking during the day and relaxing views of the lake in the evenings. Perfect retreat over the holiday. 10/10.

Beautiful, clean, and updated property. Wonderful lake views from all areas of the home and lower level. Main bed was very comfortable ( only 2 of us). Many extras that we have not had in other rental homes that made it more special.

The property was beautiful. The dock was excellent for swimming from. The water is deep there. We appreciated that we could rent a pontoon and dock it right there at the house. However, it is advertised that there are kayaks there to use but there were no life preservers supplied. By Illinois law adults need to have life preservers with them in the boat. We would have brought some with had we known we would need them. So that was disappointing. We did enjoy the lily pad and the lounge chairs on the dock.The house was clean and comfortable. The view from the sunroom can’t be beat!There were a few things I had to text the host about and she was very good about getting back to me.

The location is lovely! The back porch view really is stunning. We had our coffee out there every morning. I made the host aware of some small changes that would make a stay excellent in the future. If you're looking for a clean house with lots of space to spread out, then this is a GREAT house. We stayed for Thanksgiving which was cold. In the summer it would be DIVINE to be right on the lake. The only other thing to consider is that parking is steep and only has 2 spaces. We made it work, but make sure your vehicle wouldn't bottom out. Overall, a GREAT stay.
Coffee on the porch every morning
such a beautiful patio to enjoy the water!
