You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Charming Lake Cottage ★ Queen Bed ★ Chain O Lakes

Outdoor enthusiasts will be delighted with this romantic 1 bedroom lake cottage that sleeps 4. The fall colors, hiking, and nature setting is especially breathtaking this time of year. Walk down to the lake to enjoy boating, swimming, fishing, and more. Experience all the comforts of home in this newly remodeled cottage desirably located on Lippincott Point. Perfect for romantic getaways, gathering with friends by the lakeside fire pit, boating “the chain” and all that lake life has to offer!

The space
We always have the place professionally cleaned between guests, but now our cleaning team is paying special attention to sanitizing commonly touched areas such as door knobs, light switches and remotes.

The area by the lake front where the fire pits and pier are located is a shared area with the four short term rental units that are on the property. There is a small neighborhood park right next to the property that has a sandy beach that is good for swimming. We highly recommend hard bottom swim socks or old gym shoes when swimming in the lake.

There are four adult sized kayaks and two kid sized kayaks down by the lake front. They are free to use for all the guests at the property... we ask that everyone share boat time with each other! Please wear the provided life jackets when going out in the kayaks.

Tasteful furnishings and lake home inspired decor make the home feel warm and inviting. Modern conveniences like appliances and expansive countertop space provide the convenience you need in your home-away-from-home.

Make yourself comfortable in the welcoming living area, where you’ll find a lavish new sofa set in front of a large flat-screen TV. For your viewing pleasure, watch your favorite movies or local channel programming on YouTube TV. Netflix, Hulu, and Prime are conveniently accessible as well. Need to get some work done? Feel free to utilize the dedicated high-speed WiFi.

Just off of the living room you’ll be delighted with the newly remodeled kitchen that comes fully equipped with new stainless refrigerator and freezer, including a full suite of new appliances. Enjoy home cooked meals in a well-lit dining table beautifully set for 6. Feel free to fire-up the gas grill and enjoy some home-cooked cuisine out on the comfortably furnished deck with seating for 6. The deck has solar lights to automatically light your way in the evening.

This well-outfitted one bedroom lake home comfortably accommodates 4 guests, including a memory foam queen bed. What's more, a fold-out queen sofa bed features, you guessed it, super comfy memory foam for your snoozing pleasure. Tastefully decorated with bright new furnishings you’ll be charmed with this abode as you fall into a peaceful slumber.

No need to fumble with keys and lock boxes as this rental is equipped with quick & easy keyless entry. Our cleaning team is taking extra steps to sanitize commonly touched surfaces.

Other things to note
The fall colors, hiking, and nature setting is especially breathtaking this time of year. Wilmot mountain is just minutes away - an outdoor enthusiasts must do! Includes skiing, snowboarding, and even snow tubing. The fire pit is especially endulgent on refreshingly cool evenings!

Only minutes to Blarneys Island and Lakeside Restaurants on the "Chain-O-Lakes” from our Pier!

Washing machine and dryer are not actually in the unit. They are in a common space that is under Unit #1 on the property. It is a shared washer and dryer that is free to use. You will get further direction on how to access this area after you book your reservation.

Cute Cottage
The cottage was nicely decorated and was very clean! It is a small space which the owner utilizes well. We loved the outdoor sitting/fire pit area by the water which was a very short walk from the cottage. The communication with the Management Company overseeing the cottage was a bit frustrating at times this however we would not stop us from staying at the cottage again!

The online photos of the property seemed as if its one house right on the lake and yet there are multiple that you have to share the area with. There's nowhere to keep a trailer on the property which was upsetting, and the sofa and bed were extremely uncomfortable which caused us to cut our trip short by one day

Cozy Cottage
Clean, cozy and comfortable. It was too cold for us to utilize the kayaks and the beach this time of year but the area would be perfect for summer fun! My husband came to fish. The American Legion has public boat ramp you can use for a daily fee and it was within a few miles from the cottage. Also lots of great places to eat nearby. Fox Family restaurant has an amazing breakfast and lunch menu! If we are up in this area again I'd definitely book here again!

Absolutely gorgeous and very clean and cozy!
You will love this cozy lake front apartment! This small yet cozy apartment will have everything you need! Situation with right on the the chain, you will find you are steps away from a peaceful and relaxing waterfront view! The property has more than enough sitting spaces and fire pits to enjoy and evening with friends and family! I highly recommend giving this apartment a stay. Five stars *****

This place is in serious trouble.
They just hit an insurance company for 500 plus dollars claiming damage. Which I had for coverage. I just happened to open up the email from the company. I'm so glad I video taped everything as I always do when I stay ant a rental. This is absolutely scandalous.

Nice BUT so small almost claustrophobic to be inside.
It was very very clean. Amenities were very nice inside. What was very disappointing was it is extremely small. Maybe 300 ft.². Queen bed has to be shoved against the wall in order to fit into the bedroom. Shower is so small if you are even a little overweight you absolutely cannot shower in it Very tiny windows. Extremely closed in feeling. Pictures make it look like it is much bigger than it is. Tiny little porch sits on a gravel driveway. You cannot see the lake unless you go outside to walk down the gravel road.

Owner Gets It!
This property was our last stop before returning home from a 4-week road trip. It was the cleanest, most comfortable property we visited during our trip. It is obvious that the owner takes care of this cottage. And it was the first VRBO property we've ever stayed at that we didn't feel the need to clean before unpacking. Thanks Mark!

Great spot for a quick get away.
My family and I needed a relaxing get away from the city and this place hit the spot. Property manager was there to greet us as we pulled in and gave us a tour of the property. My kids spent the entire time at the little beach next to the cabin, and from our short time there, it was one of the only areas were kids could wade in and swim. The provided kayaks were a huge hit. The cabin itself is recently renovated and very nicely done. We look forward to booking a return trip in the near future!

Great place for a get away
I highly recommend this location! My wife and I live in Chicago and we just needed a little place to get away and relax. Only an hour away from the city and amazing few of the lake was just what we needed. The property manager was great. They were even kind enough to drop off some beach toys for our 3 year old daughter without us even asking. We also liked that there was an abundance of walking trails within 15 minutes of the house. Six Flags and Gurnee is very close as well. We will definitely stay there again if we ever need another break from city life.

Nice little cabin on fox lake
This was a great little cabin. Clean with many nice amenities. Owners were very nice too. Nice to be right in fox lake. The only negatives is the beach — wish they could find a way to clean it and disallow smoking on the property. Please note you cannot smoke in cabins. If they could make the beach more fun it would be perfect!

Great getaway by the lake
We had a great stay at this place, a nice weekend retreat for my family. The cabin had a king size bed, a roll-away bed, and a sofa, and all the basic kitchen and bathroom amenities we were looking for. Plenty of towels was a big plus! The lake front was beautiful and the owners provided kayaks and kids water toys. The owners were very welcoming and quick to respond to any of our questions/requests.
