This was my second time staying at this lakehouse, and it was just as great as I remembered. I absolutely love the peaceful surrounding area—it's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature.

#3 Charming Lake Cottage - Cypress Resort & Marine

TenileRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We had a lovely stay at Cottage 3! The cottage was clean, calm, comfortable, and had a beautiful view! It was just a staircase away from the lake which was so helpful with kids. There were kayaks, paddle boards, floats, and much more which provided endless entertainment for us and our kids ranging from 2-11 years old. Amanda was so friendly, great at communication, and always available for whatever we needed. It’s a great place to stay!

Waterfront Fox Lake Vacation Rental w/ Fire Pit!

ChristopherRating, 5 stars14 months ago
We had an amazing time at this cottage! From the start, the hosts were excellent communicators and all the instructions were clear. When we got there, everything was clean and as described/seen in pictures. The area was beautiful and we absolutely love the scenery and how much we could do at the cottage. By far, the BEST Airbnb we’ve been to- and we’ve been to several. Thanks for having us! We would love to come back.

Stayed 3 nights to visit family in area. Cute, cozy, and, quiet area that fit our needs perfectly. Everything you need in house for a longer stay and, everything was really clean upon entering house! Beds were comfortable too! The backyard was great for our german shep to play ball, which it's so hard to do when staying in a hotel. Jess was very responsive, super friendly and a pleasure to deal with! Convenient location and walkable to downtown and the shops! Would definitely stay again! :)

A vintage charming 2-bedroom cottage!

AnnetteRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful, historic cottage and would highly recommend it. The host has thought of everything to make your experience one full of beauty, comfort, fun, relaxation and ease. As a writer and artist looking for a small town, private retreat, it was a perfect location and living experience, very inspiring and productive. Williams Bay is charming, with great local services including a convenient yoga studio, grocery and salon--all within walking distance of the gorgeous lakefront. This is a gem.

Relaxing home on the Fox river

PeriRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This location is a great stay outside of the city. It has beautiful views of the river including plenty of wildlife. The host is very considerate in providing a LOT of firewood, bottled water, blankets, and towels for guests (we did not take advantage of the tackle). The home does have a very strong smell (patchouli or lavender maybe) which I don’t particularly care for but grew used to after some time. The shower was a bit funky to use and didn’t get especially hot. Host also says there is a full kitchen (I believe in the description somewhere) but there is no oven so we had gotten a take&bake pizza prior to our arrival which we couldn’t bake 😅. A problem easily solved but it would be good to add a complete list of appliances for future reference. Bridget is very kind and responsive, we had no issues.

Cozy 2 bedroom cottage on lake Delavan with kayaks

MadelineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Had a great stay! Place was beautiful and the location was great! Tiffany was very responsive :) The second bedroom was smaller than anticipated but it made sense due to the size of the house. The private beach you have access to is less than a minute walk and we caught some good fish over there. Overall had a great stay and would highly recommend staying here!

The Peacock Cottage

JimRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Great secluded place to stay. We didn’t see any peacocks but we did have a bunch of turkeys and a teeny tiny deer. We didn’t realize the house was tucked back behind another house but Ben was quick with a response and the owner of the house in front (Rob) was gracious with helping us find our way. The backyard was quiet and exactly what we were looking for. We couldn’t get the WiFi to work but it didn’t matter. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home!

Charming Cottage - Lake access steps away!

ChrisRating, 5 stars9 months ago
My wife and I have been active on Airbnb for several years and we've experienced quite a few wonderful rentals; however, Susan's place stands out for several reasons. Her rental was exquisitely clean, very comfortable, and filled with little touches that made it feel like home. One not so little "touch" was the brand new massage chair in the living room - what a wonderful surprise! We loved luxuriating in that chair after our visits to the Bristol Ren Faire.

Re-imagined 1880s cottage by Highwood, Metra, Lake

DominicRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Daniel and Jordan’s cottage in Highland Park is wonderful. It is very comfortable for our family of 3 to stay for 10 days. We really like the design and coziness, and it has all the amenities that we need. The neighborhood is very quiet, and it is also within walking distance to a number of restaurants and cafes. Daniel and Jordan are very nice hosts and they are super helpful when we need help and are always responsive. Highly recommend staying at Daniel and Jordan’s place if you are visiting the north shore.

Beautifully Designed Lake Geneva Escape

DarianRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had the best girls trip here! Everything is so beautifully decorated and cozy. The slumber party room gets pretty chilly, but the rest of the house was comfortable. The location is quiet and secluded and a quick drive to downtown Fontana. Lake Geneva is about a 15-20 minute drive which was not bad at all and we were able to find Ubers. The nature was great; we saw lots of deer and kitties in the backyard (so cute), and the fire pit super cozy. We'd love to come back! Thank you!!

All Season Sunset Cottage on Pistakee Lake

ReneeRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Beautiful waterfront property and cozy cottage. The house is minutes from the train station so you can plan a trip to the city without the traffic. The lake is full of pelicans, ducks and geese and I never tired of watching them. The driveway is an absolute adventure! We took turns riding in the back and front of our rental mini van so we could all experience the incline. You’ll be fine-just do it-it’s fun! The neighborhood and surrounding areas are beautiful and there’s plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. There is limited cabinet and refrigerator space so don’t over buy groceries like we did and there’s no ice. Bring trays or buy a bag if you need this. The fire pit was used and we got firewood at Home-depot along with s’mores sticks. The house is stocked with everything needed and we had an amazing time and made unforgettable memories and were comfortable and surrounded by beautiful scenery.
