Lakefront Paradise

LenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My group immensely enjoyed our stay. The views were beautiful and the amenities were very nice. We really enjoyed using the grill and the campfire. The location is very quiet and peaceful, and it was very easy to relax. Nick was very responsive and always responded quickly and helped us fix every issue. Nick was also very flexible with our check-in time, and was even able to help us get inside at 12 AM in the morning. If I ever go back to Fox Lake, I would 100% choose to stay here again.

Lakefront, beautiful views, spacious and private.

LisaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The home was large and spacious. There was lots of space for our teenagers and the adults. Some of the amenities need repair, but the views and time on Lake Antioch was peaceful and restorative.

Corner Lakefront Property

LynnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This place exceeded our expectations and we already talked about returning! It worked out perfectly for an old group of friends (who we all made time) to spend the weekend fishing and eating and all the things to do together! Loved that the backyard is fully fenced in bc we were able to bring along our dogs for the fun weekend too! The guys had fun taking out the kayaks and boat out into the lake too! So that was a fun amenity to the home! Unfortunately the weekend we went, the wind was terribly strong.. so we ended up not using the bonfire (but hopefully we can next time! 😅) - we weren't even sure how the fishing would be due to the weather but thankfully our group ended up catching a couple of pan fish! Thank you for hosting us! We cant wait to return!

#1 Old Lake House at Cypress Resort & Marine

NallelyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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!

Riverfront rental

LatarshraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I absolutely love love this AirBnB! We are thinking to have her location as our favorite getaway spot for the family. There was a power outage while we were there but even without the power it was peaceful. It gave our family a sense of peace and togetherness! Lucy was great! She was always responsive and an advocate for us! The only thing I would suggest is to have candles on hand for power outages! lol!

A Comfortable Stay While You are Away in Oak Park

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house looked just like the beautiful photos & Jay was incredibly responsive throughout the visit. This home is located close to 290 to go downtown or further out to the 'burbs quickly. We needed a home to stay last minute, and Jay was accommodating to that as well - we were happy to find this spot with all the space we needed inside and out. As a bonus, we met neighbors who were very friendly.
