SPACIOUS and Stylish Lakefront Retreat, STUNNING Views, Firepit!

Welcome to the Howard House by Evereste Experiences. Best views on the entire Chain o’ Lakes! A hidden gem situated centrally on the waterfront of beautiful Nippersink Lake, part of the Fox Chain, just an hour outside of Chicago. This spacious and stylish retreat is located on a hill with ultimate views of the lake and amazing sunsets. Walking distance to the BRAND new Lakefront Park which has a public beach, pickleball courts, splashpad, playground and live concerts every Friday all summer! Located very close to downtown Fox Lake and the Metra train stop. With over 60 ft of lake frontage, a private dock, fire pit and swimming area, you'll never want to leave! Some of the best fishing in IL!
