Top Lake County Discovery Museum Hotel Reviews

Pleasant 3-bedroom house with occupied basement separate entrance.

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place the only issue was parking I had to park on the street didn’t want to block basement tenants"

3-bedroom House in Cozy Mundelein with Private Patio and Grill

10/10 Excellent

"Andy’s house was wonderful! The place was so clean and the backyard was amazing. There was gas in the grill, private backyard, grilling utensils, comfortable patio furniture and very private. The bed in the master was so comfortable! The kitchen area was roomy and so was the family room. I loved that the master was in the back of the house with a sitting area/family room area. This was my first time using VRBO and I must say I am very pleased and very happy that I chose Andy’s place to stay at for my first experience!"

Hensley’s Cornerstone Lakehouse

10/10 Excellent

"Hard to say what we all enjoyed the most; kayaks, Jon boat, and paddle boat all readily available at the water's edge, plenty of towels in the home, really comfy feel to the home, and all at a great price! Crystal was very responsive and Anna was also available right from the beginning. We heartily recommend this home if you're visiting in or near Bangs Lake, Wauconda!"

3BR House with Pickleball, Game Room, Foosball, Arcade, Cereal Bar, Darts &Grill

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend this home. We were visiting from Philadelphia to spend time with family and explore the area since we’ll be moving back to Illinois next year, and this was the perfect place for our trip.Check-in was quick and easy, and the home was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Both my boyfriend and I work remotely, so having reliable Wi-Fi was important, and it worked flawlessly throughout our stay.We hosted family for a Fourth of July BBQ, and despite the rainy weather, the house had plenty of room for everyone to gather comfortably. It ended up being the perfect place to celebrate together.One of our favorite parts was the neighborhood. It’s very quiet and felt safe, making it ideal for our daily walks and runs.Our only very minor complaint was that the TVs are a bit outdated and slow to use. It wasn’t a big issue since we only turned one on to watch soccer on the Fourth of July.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and honestly wish we had booked a longer stay. We would absolutely stay here again the next time we’re in the area and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet place to stay."

The Adorable "Blue Breeze"!

10/10 Excellent

"Everything here was really great, our entire stay was relaxing and the host thought of everything. We had enough towels and other amenities that we normally don't have. I would definitely stay again."

Charming 2-bedroom cottage, pet friendly, fenced yard, near Fox River!

8/10 Good

"Clean, completely contained big back yard, great communication , had all the amenities you could need - coffee, extra toilet paper, soap, extra pillows, good water pressure, good hvac. Gave 4 stars because the rooms are really small and threshold between rooms and the shower are very short, tall people will have challenges. Otherwise it’s a great place!"

Relaxing Lake Zurich 3BR + Patio | LCP Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 2nd time renting this property. The location is in close proximity to family n friends and in a quiet & safe neighborhood. The house is very clean and is stocked with basic essentials. The host is easy to reach and responds promptly. "
