Modern Waterfront House Getaway on Fox River
Beautiful, peaceful location right on the Fox River. The home had everything you could need for a great weekend away. Appliances were top of the line, clean bedding and cupboards were labeled so it was easy to find dishes/cookware. Hosts were responsive and check-in/check-out was easy. Highly recommend!!

TheGlassCabin @ HackmatackRetreat
What a beautiful rustic setting. So many wonderful Buddhist / mindfulness reminders to disconnect and slow down. We would love to come back to this getaway location again!

Home on Fox River: Modern Decor Style!
Place was absolutely beautiful and clean beds were so clean comfortable. Kitchen was supplied with many amenities that you would need it was a very nice place the only thing we ran out of toilet paper there was only one in each bathroom and we couldn’t find

Beautiful Riverhaus Setting
Nothing short of amazing! Frank was an incredible host, very informative and friendly. Our family enjoyed everything about our stay and will stay again on or next trip to Illinois!

Welcome to the Fox River
Barbara was a great host! The house was the perfect getaway from the city. The bed was so comfortable and the outdoor space was so relaxing. We appreciated how Barbara went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay!

Fox River Home - Near Island Lake
We fell in love with the river front. I left wanting to have more time down at the lounge chairs. Enjoyed having a campfire! It was close to both of my sisters in Crystal Lake! My sister wants to buy the cabin! lol Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!

Lake access apartment rentals

Spacious apartment in Des Plaines
This is a great place to stay if you are coming to Chicago suburbs, 5 minutes to O'Hare makes it quite practical. Close to many amenities, retail stores and restaurants. Also the apartment was clean, comfy and peaceful. The neighborhood is safe to walk and close to a beautiful lake to enjoy with kids and family, definitely I would rent it for my family again. Great communication with Cani, kind and responsive host.

Downtown Lake Geneva-The Nautical Cottage
Bill and Carol’s nautical cottage was the perfect escape for our girls weekend! They were the most helpful and kind hosts I’ve ever experienced. Bill made us feel right at home and was so welcoming. The house was pristine and cozy. And within walking distance of so much to do. 10/10 recommend!

Downtown Geneva Street Getaway
Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Steve was very responsive and provided a quick tour of the place at check in. My wife and I traveled with our 2 year old and he had the place ready for a toddler, including a pack-n-play. Location was great, easily walkable to everything in town

528 Bungaloo 1 | 1 Bedroom | 1 Bath | Sleeps 2-4
Sharon's place is beautiful and just as described. She has lovely furnishings, lots of pots/pans/place settings, etc. in the kitchen and one of the best area guides and information that I have seen in an Airbnb. We loved being walking distance to Libertyville and all the restaurants and stores it has to offer plus the train to Chicago. We definitely felt like we were at home away from home.

Chain O' Lakes 3/1.5 Beach Penthouse and Boat Dock
Owners were amazing and responsive. Place was beautiful and peaceful. It is above a bar but guests were friendly and respectful. Lots of amenities. Will definitely be back

Deerpath Retreat at Abbey Springs
We had a great time and Jackie was very responsive to help with any questions or concerns. It’s a little further from clubhouse, pool and beach but having the golf cart was clutch. We would stay there again! Thanks Jackie!

Anna's Cozy One Bedroom Lakefront Apartment
Anna’s is perfectly located in downtown Kenosha so that it is convenient to Lake Michigan, Carthage College, and all the shops and restaurants downtown. The views are amazing, as is the coffee and food. But the best part about our stay were our hosts and the other staff. We cannot speak highly enough about Anna and Natalie and the crew. We are not sure when we will be back but we will definitely be coming back to Anna’s.

Historic home in quaint Grayslake, self check-in
Such a cute historic home located conveniently in downtown Grayslake. Steve’s place was exactly as described, and was quiet and cozy!
Lake access cottage rentals

The Butterfly Cottage
We took our family on a long weekend vacation to explore Lake Geneva and this was such a perfect lake side cottage that was only 20 mins from Lake Geneva. It was so nice to come home to a quiet spot to fish and relax. The cabin is so clean, cozy, cute and had more then everything we needed.

Cozy Como Getaway
Super cute place!

Chic & Charming Cottage - walkable to everything!
Wonderful stay! It’s the perfect location and has amazing charm. A short walk to Main Street shops, restaurants, and of course the lake! Brennan is a great host - responsive and shares local recommendations. Easy check-in/check-out process. Clean. Safe. Comfortable beds. All around great place! Would highly recommend and would come back!

#5 Tiny Lake Cottage and Cypress Resort & Marine
The Cabin was super cute and just as described. Every time I reached out with a question or request, Amanda responded promptly and helpfully. Would definitely book again.

Cottage Escape near Private Browns Lake Beach
The cottage was fabulous. From the moment we opened the front door, it had such a positive vibe! It was clean and bright. Very inviting. Also two awesome workspaces. — as I found myself having to set up my work laptop while I was there. The outdoor space was very inviting with fabulous places to swing and listen to the birds. The private beach was quite the added surprise! Spectacular view of sunsets over the water. So peaceful!

The Lakehouse-3bdr/Lakefront/Wi-Fi
Breathtaking home! Supplied a cute little Thankyou basket with bottled waters! Also had a coffee machine with many options! It is greater than a hotel stay

Cozy 2 bedroom cottage on lake Delavan with kayaks
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!

Cabin Life: Fire Pit + Hammock
The quaint cabin was well designed inside, with plenty of room for us and our dog. The beds were comfortable and the wood paneling made it feel cozy. Bathroom was clean and the showerhead had excellent water pressure. The fireplace was a nice aspect of the house, as was the creek running through the backyard. We chose this place to relax, and we spent most of the time outside in the hammock. Very close to Lake Como and local restaurants (also only took 10 minutes to downtown Geneva, which was nice as I felt we got the best of both worlds). Molly was an excellent host -- quick to respond and kind.
