Holiday rentals with lake access in Cook County

Extremely clean, large house. Kitchen is well stocked. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to everything. Appreciated that nothing needed to be done at check-out other than locking up.

Craig was very responsive both before our booking and upon our arrival. The place was beautiful and spotless; it looked and felt like a hotel but was also very homey. We enjoyed the lovely place and the town and the convenience of getting to local areas and going to Chicago. The house came with nice supplies in the bathrooms and nice quality linens, kitchen cookware, etc. The ping pong table was a nice addition. Definitely will stay again.

Beautiful home layout and very spacious! Location was a quick drive to the city, which was convenient. Host was also very kind and attentive. Thank you Ms. Lilly for our stay!

We had a party of 6 and there was plenty of room to spread out. Each couple had their own bathroom. Families with kids can have their kids nearby at night which can be helpful with younger children. We had a large vehicle which didn’t fit through the gate but we were able to get permits for street parking each night which was readily available.

We can't say enough great things about our stay. Sharon was an incredibly gracious and responsive host. Her beautiful house was exactly as described. The neighborhood was perfectly suited for walking to restaurants, local bars, grocery stores, light rail and much more. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended!!

I had an excellent stay at Jabeen’s house in Villa Park. The home was exactly as described, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was peaceful and quiet, perfect for a restful weekend. What truly made the experience stand out was the combination of thoughtful amenities and top-notch communication. I especially appreciated the fast Wi-Fi, well-stocked kitchen, reliable AC, and relaxing patio. When I mentioned that the blender wasn’t working, Jabeen immediately replaced it—an example of her responsiveness and attention throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place for families looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in the area. Would definitely return!

Hugo was a great host. The house was just like the listing, ideal for a weekend with friends. We were five couples with children, an ideal family atmosphere. It has games and equipment to enjoy the lake and garden, such as a small pool, life jackets, sport balls... It was a great weekend thanks to the space and the house, highly recommended!

This was a fantastic find! My whole party loved the place. It was clean and wonderfully located in a peaceful neighborhood close enough to transport to walk but far enough from the noise and bustle of downtown. Shawn was very responsive to any questions I had and was super kind and friendly! I absolutely would stay here again!!

Lin’s Place is gorgeous. If you love being surrounded by beautiful vintage, well cared for wood floors, trim and built ins, this I your place. Convenient to Wrigley Field and Lincoln Park, this place is the one. I loved the back deck and garden on a great tree lined street. Thank you Lin and we look forward to our next trip to Chicago.

Clemente's place was in a great location central and walkable to many great areas and the train station, it was clean, it was easy to find, and it was comfortable. The beds were comfortable too, the A/C and heat was great, and the kitchen was well equipped. I would definitely recommend his place as a nicely affordable 2 bedroom in close proximity to the sites and restaurants.

We had a most wonderful stay at Kayode's apartment which was very clean and matched all the descriptions in the listing and it was perfectly located for our purpose which was to be close to Hyde Park. Kayode was the perfect host and was extremely responsive and even when had a minor issue, he responded within minutes and had the issue resolved within the hour. Highly recommend Kayode as a host if you need an apartment in the Hyde Park area

We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated how responsive and accommodating Stephanie was! The view is beautiful and the surrounding area was great. Being right above a coffee shop was also extremely convenient.

We had an excellent stay at Cathy’s, great location and a comfortable space to relax in after a full day experiencing the city.

I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Chicago. The host communicated very well and was very welcoming! This place was very clean spacious, and the beds were very comfortable! Thank you for Hosting us!

This was the perfect place to stay while we were visiting for my daughter‘s graduation from Northwestern. Andersonville has tons of restaurants and shops that are within very easy walking distance anytime we needed anything The house were incredibly responsive. Make sure you brush up on your parallel parking skills before visiting as you will need them on a daily basis. That being said even if the street parking was full, we were able to park our car close by on the main road.

Apartment was great! Rooftop was fantastic and had some nice views. Serg was very communicative and helpful. Parking entrance was slightly out of the way in a back alley but the given instructions included pictures and very detailed instructions. My only complaint is that all of the beds are EXTREMELY firm. My husband and I found it very uncomfortable and I spent one of the nights tossing and turning so much I ended up just laying on the couch. The kids did not seem to mind it.

Great cottage, well resourced. Great shower. Very responsive host Short easy walk to the beach. Very bikeable area, and we were able to use garage to store the bikes, great for families. Lovely garden. Everything you would need for a vacation is included.

The place was great. Perfect little getaway and the host was great. Really appreciated some little things like extra toothbrush, some snacks, etc. Local recommendations were also very good and helpful. Made for a fun trip and would recommend!

This place is a great getaway. If your looking for a place in Miller Beach area and want to see copious amounts of varying wildlife just hanging around then this spot is just what your looking for. The host Blake is very responsive and respectful. I stayed for over a week with my dog and he didn’t want to leave. You won’t either.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was very peaceful, with beautiful surroundings and nature views from the large windows. Watching the deer each day was a highlight of our visit. The home was well decorated and nicely updated. It was clean and stocked with everything we needed. Patrick was an excellent host who communicated well throughout the entire process.

We had a fantastic stay! Super close to the Lake, which is just what we wanted. House looked exactly as pictured. Most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Overall, a great experience.

It's worth it!! It was a very nice stay!!! Thank you so much for everything.

we felt at home immediately, with such a well stocked kitchen, bathroom, and laundry we can bring less from home next time. The location was ideal, with the beach only a few minutes walk from the house. we loved eating on the porch and the living room was a perfect size for our family to watch movies and relax. We were pleasantly surprised by all the beach gear that were made available such as chairs, towels, kids toys, etc. Location is also great for exploring Michigan City and other beaches. Many thanks for a lovely stay and we hope to be at Emmets in 2026!

We loved getting to stay here. The proximity to the beach is a simple walk and it is lovely to be so close. My daughter loved the nearby park as well and it was also within waking distance of the cottage. There were many thoughtful details in the space and it was so nice to arrive to the muffins and treats from our host. We will stay again if we ever get the chance.
