Kid-friendly holiday rentals in McHenry County

The hosts were so accommodating. We were on such a timed agenda because of what we needed the house for they were willing to accommodate every single necessity that we needed and on top of it. The retro feel of the house was fantastic, and everything was easy to find, and so peaceful and quiet. Planning a trip back in September. Can’t wait for my friends From out the country to see this place. Super fun!!!

I had an incredible stay at Wanda's house! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The home was exactly as described, even better in person—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect for the wedding we were attending that weekend. I especially loved how cozy and convenient it was. Wanda went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience, providing flexible check in/out times, ample snacks, and an abundance of amenities to help it feel more like home. Communication was smooth and prompt, and helped with everything we needed. I highly recommend Wanda's place to anyone looking for a relaxing and cozy stay in Wonder Lake! I can’t wait to come back.

Thankful for this home away from home for our family get together. Our stay was very short, but Alexandrea was quite helpful and flexible in meeting our needs. Always quick responses to my questions.

It was wonderful for a family with kids. Very clean. Great location. Comfortable beds. Sound system that you could control from an app and play music in any room. Games in basement were perfect for kids of all ages That was great. Would happily stay again.

The Acorn was a great landing place for my 30+ day stay while house hunting. Heidi kept in communication as needed, but not overly so - just right! Beautiful set up on the Fox River - peaceful and wonderful area to explore.

My friend and I booked with Patrick because it was an easy place to find in between where we live. It was also important that it was pet friendly because I had my 2 dachshunds and she had her German shepherd mix with a toddler. Kiddo enjoyed the pool, and the doggos loved the yard. We all felt at home!

Very nice place to host our large family Christmas gathering. Plenty of room for everybody. The game room was very much appreciated and well used.

Super cute place to stay, the upstairs little hidden room was so adorable for my little one that thought it was so cool. Overall really cute house and well maintained.

Excellent host and excellent Airbnb. I fell in love with Cary, the area is so beautiful and peaceful. The Airbnb itself is the perfect amount of space and Vicki made sure to include all the amenities. We felt right at home. We will definitely book again when back in the area.

Jones home was immaculate and very cozy and comfortable. it was very close to the Illinois Beach State Park on Lake Michigan which is why we were in the area. highly recommend.

Homey space with thoughtful amenities and decorated with great art. the garden area is peaceful and was designed and is maintained with great care.

From her greeting you at the front door to making sure you have all that you need. Her place is perfect for a few days or even an extended stay! Located just off the highway and close to an amazing wine and restaurant - and minutes away from Beloit College! I recommend and look forward to my next stay

Absolutely amazing place. If you like Victorian houses, this is for you. Spacious and beautiful with a large kitchen. Gas stove so you can cook and not swear! Easy access to Elgin and the train station. Parking behind the house on the property. It’s cool and comfortable (we went in June) with plenty of fans for air movement.

Place was amazing and clean. Host was very quick to respond to my questions aswell.

What a find! It was a very quick stay for us, but the time we were there has easily become one of our favorite memories. Yes there is an Atari and those hippos sure were hungry, but our absolute most favorite part of this groovy space were the magazines. Saturday morning was spent drinking our coffee- no it wasn't Sanka or Brim- reading the magazines that were printed in the 80's. We both forgot about cigarette ads and ... AQUA NET! Our only complaint is that we didn't have more time to just enjoy this nostalgic space. Paul, thank you and your wife for hosting us and for your attention to detail. I know we will be back the next time we visit Mom and Dad.

Had a great stay at the Geneva Street Inn! Excellent location and kind hosts. Hope to return sometime soon!

Morgan's Chic Condo in Lake Geneva was perfect for our trip to attend a wedding in Lake Geneva. It was close enough to all of the venues and restaurants, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful! We took a walk along the Lake Shore Path, which is a great feature of the area. We also appreciated the kitchen equipment, as well as complimentary coffee and basket of treats! I would definitely stay there again, if our travels take us to the area.

We were lucky to find Amy's place as many only book two-night minimum and we were only in town for one. Her condo was clean and comfortable. We entered on a hot day to a well-air-conditioned home and to jazz music playing. It was such a great way to start our stay. She gave recommendations for the area and had very few requests for checkout - just take trash and start the dishwasher. We three women took a late-night walk in the area and felt perfectly safe. Be aware that check-out is 10AM while most places are 11:00. It was fine with us as we were getting on the road by then but some would care. I don't know if there's any flexibility as it didn't matter. Amy was very proactive about ensuring we were all settled in and asked if there were questions. We had a great stay and recommend Amy's condo.

It was a nice little house located inside a golf club. Beautiful environment and nice facilities. Plenty of beds and pillows which was very nice. The host was quick to respond to our inquiries during the stay. The spiral staircase was the only thing that was a little concern to us because of the little kids. Overall, it was a very good place to stay if you're visiting the Lake Geneva area.

The condo surpassed my expectations. It was peaceful and the furniture was amazingly comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the L-shaped couch and over-stuffed chair. The master bedroom was large and had plenty of storage space. My kids took advantage of the TV being in the bedroom. The other bedroom was smaller, but very comfortable. I liked the additional pillows in the closet since some were more firm than others. The bathrooms were a bit outdated but not a big deal. The kitchen had everything as described. It was narrow, but it had all the space we needed. There was a washer and dryer which was an added bonus. The condo surroundings were perfect for us since there was so much green grass, rolling hills and trees. My kids wrapped themselves in blankets and rolled down the larger hill! The pool was in walking distance, and Nick had left pool noodles for guests which was a nice touch. As a host, Nick was great! Very responsive and friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This cozy little condo on lake Como/Geneva was outstanding! Easy access to all the things in the area! Lori was extremely communicative and we enjoyed her as a host. If we find ourselves in Geneva again we will certainly stay here on repeat!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful Lake Geneva Airbnb! The home felt so welcoming from the moment we walked in. The location couldn’t have been better. Just minutes from the lake and downtown, we were able to enjoy charming local shops, great restaurants, and stunning lakeside views without needing to drive far. It was the perfect blend of peaceful retreat and convenient access to everything Lake Geneva has to offer. Our host was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and truly committed to making our stay comfortable. They provided excellent local recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or just some time to relax by the water, this place is a gem. Wehighly recommend it to anyone visiting Lake Geneva!

This was a great stay. We parked our car and never used it- walked to the beach, to restaurants, etc. The decore wasn't my style, but the space was nice , the shower was great, and we had everything we needed.

Great host and great property. Offered to go out of her way and bring us the beach pass since the one in the building was out of date. Highly recommend if looking to stay in or around Lake Geneva!
