Comfortable
This house was just the right size for our family -- grown kids and grandkids. The small pool was perfect for the little ones & the adults. The home, tucked away from the road and other homes gave us a welcome level of privicy yet close to the beach and town. The large yard included a fire pit, small pool, large patio with easy access to the house.

July stay
The trip was nice. We did find the house appliances to be pretty dated. We were also looking forward to using the kayaks and there was only one available, and no paddles. The pond wasn't really usable for the kayaks either. Otherwise, was a nice and peaceful stay.

A Magical stay!
This property met every expectation and Lisa was a great communicator. I felt like I was being annoying with my questions before arriving but Lisa was really nice and responded promptly to every question. My friends and I were looking for a quick Winter getaway right outside of Chicago and we couldn’t have found a more perfect place. The kids enjoyed the arts and crafts and all the games. The adults loved the flow of the space and all the amenities. My daughter wants to come back for her birthday! Thank you again for everything Lisa! I cant wait to come back in the Summer!

The Perfect House
I booked a weekend at this home for my cousin's 50th birthday celebration girls weekend with 6 other friends. The home was just perfect, so comfortable, spacious and all the conveniences you would ever want. The property is immaculate and with beautiful flowers and landscaping. I was really surprised to see a fully loaded kitchen including a pantry full of spices for cooking, a coffee and tea station, baking accessories, etc. The rooms are large and everyone was really comfortable and had plenty of room. We would definitely come back again for a second visit! The manager answers immediately if you text which was great. Thank you so much, we made some great memories here!
