Excellent place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay here. My 3 and 5 year old girls loved the bunk bed and TV in their room. Nice kitchen and bathroom, the deck has a great view to watch all of the boats. Caught some white bass, largemouth and bluegill along the shoreline. Had a nice fire in the firepit. I would highly recommend staying here! Zero complaints.

My family and I had a really good time. This is a good location if you are coming in with your boat and ready for water activities, we brought our kayaks and floating mat, also the renting areas are just next door. Our kids had a blast. Jessica was a great host.

Great spot. Great host.
This was our first time staying at this property. We have stayed at other rentals on the Chain O' Lakes. This one is above par. Very clean and roomie. It slept 4 adults comfortably. Access to Famous Fredides and their boat slips was perfect. We liked it so much we plan to rent the large house and the same cabin again and bring more fiends.

Absolutely Beautiful Cottage
Jessica was AMAZING and so patient with our booking. Everything was perfect and my husband and his mom really enjoyed their stay. Husband said he’d love to visit during the summer and bring our boat if we were coming to Illinois. Jessica thank you for everything it made my mother in law’s move so much easier and we can never thank you enough!

A really wonderful house by the lake. Perfect for small getaways and gatherings.
Easy to book, easy to navigate the house, and very user-friendly property. Lots of classic amenities including neat rooms, modern technology, modern kitchen, beautiful patio with grill, and large lot with lake and fire pit. Definitely a place to revisit for any short getaway from the hustle bustle of the city.

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay, the home was so clean and welcoming. Jessica was very detailed in her email on the day of check in, it made everything so easy and smooth for us. Despite the rain we were able to take advantage of the sunny moments out on the deck. I will definitely be booking future trips at this lovely place!

Mini Polar Vortex couldnt ruin trip.
Just a fishing trip mid week before the Memorial Weekend crowd. Only one dock to share with others on the property. The larger dock right next door inaccessible. Famous Freddies is RIGHT next door....Covid seems to have cut business considerably. Seems like the fish knew that too. Large mouth Mayfly party fishermen not invited...then the eclispe...then the mini polar vortex dropped temps 40 degrees in 2 hours. But the place was so sweet I hardly noticed. Walking distance from the metra...what a find.
