Girl’s Weekend
Perfect house for a girl’s weekend. There were 11 of us and we all fit comfortably!

Wonderful getaway
The house is set up perfectly for a group or multiple families. The hosts were easy to get in touch with and so accommodating. Quiet location right on the water. Highly recommend!

Needs TLC
This house was spacious. Unfortunately, the kitchen was not clean. Bed sheets were stained. Not sufficient silverware or towels.
Highlights of our stay in Fox Lake were Jet Funn and the Volo Museum.

Incredible home, incredible stay!
We booked this home for a long weekend for our book club. Honestly, we are all counting down the days until we have an excuse to do it again! The house is beautiful, well cared for and the hosts were super responsive. The layout is great for multiple couples, offering nice sized bedrooms and multiple full bathrooms. The fire pit on the water was a fan favorite as well, a perfect setting for sunset views. We can’t say enough about our experience and will definitely be returning yearly!

This property offers panoramic views of a beautiful lake, and the fireplace was so cozy! We loved the wide open floor plan and the multiple areas for entertaining each other. We celebrated my mother’s 93rd birthday there. There were plenty to do for every age group. The host was also very responsive whenever we had questions.

Great location and lots of room
We had a family reunion and found all we needed. We were able to cook meals at the house. The small kids loved playing in the leaves and we really enjoyed the view!!

A Fun, Relaxing Location
This was perfect for the weekend my friends and I needed! The sleeping options worked out great, the view makes you feel peaceful, and it was the ideal accommodations for a few friends wanting a weekend away! Everything was just as advertised, if not much more pleasant in person!
