House rentals with a pool

2-Acre Highland Park Retreat with Heated Pool ~ 5*
We had a great stay overall. From start to finish, Kailash was extremely helpful, friendly and responsive. We needed a long-term stay with 2 big dogs, and this house worked great for us. We didn't get to use the pool much because the weather didn't cooperate, but the pool and patio area are gorgeous. The location is great, close to everything - grocery stores, restaurants, etc. There is a trail behind the house (accessible through a gate in the back yard), and it leads to a beautiful and huge forest preserve - beautiful for walks/hikes in the woods! The kitchen was a great space for us, and it had everything we might need for cooking, etc. The house was very comfortable for our family, and we would come again. Thank you, Kailash!

Elssys Ranch 80 Acre Lake Geneva Retreat
We had an amazing time at Nick’s property, and Nick was a great host from booking through the end of our stay. The property is incredible and a perfect location between Lake Geneva and Lake Delevan. We used the pool and fire pit every night, and the space comfortably fit 12 guys for our golf trip. We will definitely be looking to rent this property again in the future! Thanks for everything Nick

Grand 1800s Victorian Gem: Updated/by Downtown
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Deirdre’s home! It’s a gorgeous property with lots of charm and space, and so many great amenities (theater room, claw foot bathtub, Sonos speakers, ample parking, etc.). Deirdre was also very responsive throughout the process and even helped us with a more flexible checkout time. Absolutely recommend visiting her home, we’re already wishing for another trip!

Large Geneva Home | 8 beds | Fenced Yard Walkable
Great place to stay and can accommodate large groups. Would highly recommend. The house is a lot larger than I had expected.

Lake house Monica Steps from the lake! 4BD 3bath
The house had plenty of room for my family of 10. We truly appreciated all of the extra things to do at the house. The pool table/ping pong table was a hit for the young adults. The fact that they had enough kayaks that the young adults could go out in a group was a huge plus. The only negative I would say is the amount of lily pads in front of the house didn’t allow for swimming off the dock or fishing. Obviously this is not the fault of the owner so we made the best of it.

Willow Lake Getaway Cozy for 2 - or large families
Roger was an absolutely wonderful host. The house was beautiful and very clean, and all the furniture was incredibly comfortable. He even set out flowers and eye masks for our group! And the groundskeeper stopped by to set out any water equipment we wanted to use. Excellent stay, we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Private Lake House, with boat option- 14 beds
This house was perfect for our group! There were plenty of beds for all of us, plenty of extra air mattresses to use and tons of extra linens and towels. The rooms were clean and cozy. The living space was warm and inviting and the kitchen was STOCKED with anything we could have needed! The house was clean and ready for us - even a little earlier than planned! Jeff was a fabulous host to work with. From the day we reached out to inquire about the property, he was responsive, friendly and helpful. The highlight of our weekend was spending the beautiful sunny day outside - looking at the water and relaxing with friends. There was plenty of comfortable seating outside - including a fire pit that we used to make s’mores one evening. Some of us took out the canoe and enjoyed our time on the beautiful lake. Our group lives about 50 mins away and we truly felt like we were far from home on vacation! I highly recommend this property and would definitely work with Jeff again in the future!

It was exactly what we were looking for. Very quiet with beautiful views. Being able to sit in the hot tub and take in the sunset was incredible. Any questions we had were answered quickly by this very kind host.

All seasons country house
I don’t normally write reviews, but I knew I was gonna make it a point to do a good review for this one, this was the best airbnb that I have ever been to, they had a ton of cooking utensils. The place was so thought of and put together. They had a great set of outdoor toys for the kids to play with. It was quiet. It was beautiful and it was very clean. I did not find one negative thing that stood out.! I definitely will be booking this place again when we visit.

Little Blue House
We enjoyed our stay. Very quiet for the location. Very clean and well kept house. The Shop next door was relatively quiet, did spook our pup a couple times while being outside. Didn’t bother me or my wife and dog at all while inside the house. We will gladly stay again at this location. Thank you again alex, you are a great host!

#1 Old Lake House at Cypress Resort & Marine
Amanda is the best host I’ve ever had, she is so friendly and responsive. Her kitchen was fully equipped, she gave us the option of having firewood delivered, the place is absolutely beautiful, you walk down some stairs to get to the beach. A group of 8 moms went there for a weekend getaway and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

Our FAVORITE place to stay as a family. What a pleasant surprise—tons of toys for the kids, a Nintendo Wii (with Wii Sports), an arcade console, pong pong and pool! Plus all four kids had their own bed. Newly renovated space with all new amenities. So great!!!
