Exceptional Lakefront Home Getaway

August 2025

This cozy lakefront home was the perfect retreat for us during our Chicago vacation. The home was decorated beautifully and everything was clearly labeled so we could find what we needed. An instruction manual provided us with nearby shopping, hospitals and train transportation. We drove to the train station just minutes away from the house and it made it easy to get to the city. We were able to easily take a bus to Navy Pier and other places during our stay. The lion themed home made us feel welcome since we are Detroit Lions fans! We also felt like the home embraced us with all of the spiritual and inspirational quotes scattered throughout. That said, we would definitely return to this property. It was impeccably clean, well manicured inside and out, and equipped with many amenities (bikes, kayaks, games, etc.). Ceiling fans kept us cool in each bedroom. The host was responsive, courteous and sincere when contacted. Owen the Lion was a winner!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful rental house, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the stunning decor and the attention to detail throughout the home. It was not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable, making it the perfect retreat for our Girls Weekend. The location was ideal, providing easy access to local attractions and downtown Chicago, while still offering a peaceful atmosphere. We enjoyed spending our mornings on the lovely deck, sipping coffee and soaking in the views of the lake. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease, and the spacious living areas made it perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Our host was exceptional—very responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a smooth stay. It’s clear they take great pride in their property, and it made all the difference in our experience. If you’re looking for a cozy, beautifully maintained place to stay, look no further. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good pans and sharp knives

My wife and I stayed here for 10 nights. The house was incredible. We felt very comfortable. It really felt like home. It was very clean. The kitchen was large and very well stocked. The pots were like brand new and the knives were sharp. There were enough dishes and silverware to feed at least 10 people. There were plenty of towels, a full size washer and dryer, and even a second refrigerator in the garage. There was plenty of storage spaces so you could unpack and stay a long while. The view of the lake was fun to look at. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to visit family.

We stay in a lot of rental homes for our trips but this house was just perfect for our family of 10. It was immaculate and one of the best equipped homes we have stayed in before. We were there for a wedding, so not sure I would have the need to stay again, but I would highly recommend it!
