    Great host! The house had everything and more than you could possibly need. Comfy beds and pillows, super nice hand soap in the bathroom, thick plush towels. A! We loved the roomy space! Fun being on the lake watching the ice fishermen and snowmobiles going across the lake. Sweet details all around!

    Everything is Amazing. Everything that is mentioned what come with this place is correct. Rented this place with my daughters, and some friends for bday, before all head to college. The firepit and chairs hung down their quiet a bit. Great are by the water and pier. Paid extra for the paddles boards and kayaks. Highly recommend! Life jackets in house to use. Washer and dryer. Full use of kitchen, gas grill on deck to use. Highly recommend! . Great deck off the front of the house. Beds were amazing. The bathroom downstairs is huge. We were all suprised how big it was. Plenty of space in the kitchen, microwave dishwasher, you can use all item to cook with. What was amazing to me the owners left a note for us, wished my girls Happy Birthday, left items to make s'mores. They leave a number to text if you have a problem. I had a few questions texted them had an answer right away. I will definitely try and rent this next summer.

    Great house by the lake. Spacious and has everything a family can need! Very clean. Has plenty of cooking and fishing supplies- I have stayed at many houses in Fox Lake over the past 15 years and I have never seen fishing poles and tackle provided like this! Great views of the Lake and close to downtown. You can’t lose staying here.

    The house was more stocked than I expected. It was like staying in a friend's house with almost everything you need. We had to buy our food obviously, but we didn't have to worry about the dish soap, trash bags, coffee filters, salt and pepper, etc. There were extra towels and blankets if we needed them. It was nice and quiet. We used the kayaks and rented the paddle boards and lily pad. We roasted marshmallows and watched the sunsets. It was a nice few days. The brewery down the street was quaint too.

    Come up for my son’s navy graduation. Can not tell you enough good things about the owners and the property. The house made you feel at home. So many restaurants and stores very close by. Had an issue where we need to extend our trip an extra day they made the process so easy. I loved everything about the stay and trip will definitely be back..

    I was looking for space that would be attractive to three generations (my teenage daughter, my adult daughter, myself, and my mother). This spot worked really well. We had access to the lake (we liked to use the island mat and kayak), to walking distance on brewery and restaurants, travel (walking distance to metra). We had family relatives and friends over for meals and kitchen well appointed to cook. Loved the sunrise and sunsets. Extra nice goodies like smores, firestarters and wine. Super peaceful area. Recommend!

    This property is perfect for water lovers and those looking for a place to unwind with family. The first night we made a huge family nest with our dogs and watched a movie. Our kids had space to decompress after a long road trip and my husband an had a great time exploring the lake.
