McHenry, Illinois
Log Cabin in a higher end subdivision located on one acre 4 bedrooms can accommodate 10 guests. The house is full amenities: Steam Room, Hot Tub, Pool Table, Shuffleboard and hgtv type backyard including fire pit, 3 gas grills, outdoor fireplace, two gas fire pits, trampoline and optional zip line experience!
Log house with character and many amenities, but a very dirty house with lots of dust, spider webs, and rodent traps throughout. Mattresses in 2nd and 3rd bedroom are shot, there was what looked like mold around kitchen sink, rust stains in master bath tub. Our daughter found an old box of half eaten dominos sausages and dried sauce under her bed and there was pieces of trash behind furniture in two bedrooms. The blades on the ceiling fans were covered in dust also. Coffee maker had old, stinky liquid in it and old, hard coffee grounds in the filter. The “office” on main floor was unusable due to owner’s clutter all over. We took over 25 photos and two videos of all of this to document. We should have taken closer consideration of two reviews earlier in the year where similar comments were made. The whole place could be charming if the owner would have hired a professional cleaning company to come in beforehand. Will not return to this property!!!
Perfect amount of space for adults wanting to hang out, but not be on top of each other. Very relaxing. Would go back!
Amazing property, plenty of room, activities for everyone!
Solid home, experience and location. Outside patio is nice to come back to and relax.
Our group had an amazing stay at the cabin over the holiday weekend. The cabin is equipped with everything you could need and has so many great amenities. It also has great décor and feels like you are really getting away in a lodge in the woods. We spent most of our trip at the cabin and there was still a lot we didn't get to do! The house was also conveniently located to the chain of lakes and the surrounding area felt very safe. The owner is very responsive and incredibly helpful and kind. He provides a video and brochure to provide all the details about the property beforehand. Our group all wished we could have stayed longer. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for having us, Larry!
Good
This home has all of the bells and whistles that you could possibly want and more! It has a hot tub, Jacuzzi tub, steamer shower, and a heated toilet with a bidet (which I have no knowledge of how to use, but watching the video is definitely helpful). There is a basement full of things to do and watch for the all of the movie buffs and gamers in your family. If you feel like venturing out, everything is close by in McHenry. In addition, the Volo Museum, the Chain O’ Lakes, Fish Lake Beach, and Six Flags are all fun options that are close by. But, if you aren’t feeling up to the challenge of going out and want to stay in, use the beautifully landscaped yard with multiple grills, fire pits with ample outdoor seating, a trampoline, and a peaceful koi pond. You cannot go wrong staying here because there is truly something here for everyone.
Had a great time hanging out at the lodge and visiting Fox Lake. The lodge had everything we needed, and was decked out in activities for the team. The owner cares a lot about his place and was passionate to share it with us. Would definitely come back. Thanks for hosting us Larry!
Larry seemed nice and very casual at first. However, after having a good weekend and following the check out rules that he explicitly texted me, we received a text over a week later indicating that we didn’t follow his house rules and that we owe $200 additional dollars. He said he’s “cutting us a deal” because it’s actually $500 that we owe. I have screenshots of his check out instructions via text that we followed, and he is trying to extort us for half a thousand dollars.
We had great time and the owner was very friendly, helpful and kind.
If you are looking for a weekend stay somewhere without having to leave the house, this place checks all the boxes!!! There is an activity every way you look from Hot tubbing, Movie watching, Grilling, Zip Lining, and much much more. The property owner was friendly and attentive, very easy to work with. I would definitely stay again if I was in the area!!!
Peace and quiet outside the city was a great place for family members to gather and visit. Our band of seniors was able to sit in unique lodge setting to reminisce. Our host was readily available to answer any questions we had about property.
The house is beautiful and has a rustic feel for those that want to feel like they are going camping without actually sleeping in the woods :) The house and linens were clean and there were plenty of towels, which was really convenient. The house is on well water so there is reverse osmosis water available at the sink, which is really nice.
After reading some of the reviews, I was slightly hesitant. I needed a place to stay for my team for work and booked this Gem, 4 guys regardless of the reviews. Larry was prompt to responding and at No point was ever disappointed in staying here. My only wish, was that we could of Stayed much longer. This house was everything and more. From the standpoint of a team that travels every week, staying in some rough spots and rough towns this place was like staying at a 5 star hotel. As mentioned Larry the host, was quick to respond and offered great places to eat, but once settling in, the team had no desire to leave outside the house. The hot tub was a huge hit, and provided the relaxation after a long day. The bedding down to the towels were all clean and ready for an incredible stay. If after reading any review, I suggest you message Larry as you find he is a perfect host. Thank you agian, We will be back in the summer for Certain!
Place was fully equipped with nessesary appliances . Unfortunately the Place was not cleaned professionally, Comforter and sheets not fresh,water was all rusty throughout, toilets was not all functioning. On the good side, hot tub was great..
Property not well-cleanned, dusty, under garments and personal items in bedroom. The water very ugly smell, yellowish color, unsafe to use. Property manager always checking cameras, a feeling of always been watched. Very nice place, but would not rent again!
