Stayed Jun 7, 2026Starting with the positives: the sheets were really soft, the waterfront was beautiful & the house did have a lot of charm. The negatives: the bathrooms & lack of maintenance . After a 5 minute shower in the downstairs bathroom, I was standing in water up to my ankles. Thankfully 2 bottles of Drano fixed that. But it was difficult to get the water to the right temp without burning yourself. There was mildew/ mold forming on the ceiling in the bathroom, dust/dirt in the corners of the bathroom floor, and the spot where you pour fabric softener in the washing machine looked like it hadn’t been cleaned or wiped out in years. I would not book here again.

Stayed Jun 1, 2026We had an amazing stay at Matt's house! The place had a beautiful view and it was so peaceful! A great place to unwind yet still access the craziness of Chicago. We would recommend and even stay again!

Stayed May 29, 2026Matt is very responsive to all our inquiries. Had family visit and the space was very accommodating. Relaxing just to sit and watch the boats go by, though was surprised by the speed they passed by.

Stayed Sep 13, 2024Overall wonderful stay at this spacious property! River views, kayaking, relaxing on the deck, soaking in the hot tub, enjoying family time! Kids had a ball and bringing the dog was such a nice add. The owner was great and super responsive. The bathrooms could use a bit of updating, but beds were comfy and the kitchen was well-stocked.Highly recommend!!

Stayed Jun 21, 2024The house was very clean and smelled nice. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, however the upstairs got a little hot so bring a personal fan. Matt was very responsive to any questions we had. The water right off the dock had a bunch of little clams with sharp edges so make sure to bring water shoes if you’re jumping in! Also the elderly couple on the left had the cutest dog named Emma who loved all the pets. We will definitely be back!!

Stayed Oct 15, 2023We had the pleasure to stay here for 5 days and what a wonderfully cozy home! Everything was so easily comfortable, all is exactly as posted, the location on the water is incredibly peaceful, the hot tub is a huge plus, and our stay was completely enjoyable. The owner was extremely responsive throughout the booking and even easily helped us extend our stay by a day (how much we liked it!). Highly recommend!
