-Waterfront River Getaway-
Perfect place for our get-together of old friends. Had everything we needed, and more

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!

4 Bedrooms 2 full baths 1 floor
This was such a fantastic choice! The rooms, beds, and location were awesome. It’s a peaceful town and when we were not out playing tourist it was lovely to sit on the covered front porch to watch the rain. The hosts were communicative and we so appreciated our time here. Would love to come 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!

Apartment rentals with lake access

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
The stay was great. Our party of 5 was perfectly comfortable. Steve was very responsive to any request we had. You couldn't ask for a better location in Grayslake. We were very pleased with the accommodations.
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.

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 at 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!

Quaint and cozy cottage
This was a lovely Airbnb. We enjoyed the MCM/retro decor. It’s very spacious! There was plenty of room for 3 of us and then some! The kitchen and bath are so nicely updated. It’s a very peaceful location with lots of mature trees around the property.

The Lakehouse-3bdr/Lakefront/Wi-Fi
Adorable little place looks just like the photos. The kitchen had everything we needed and the front room overlooking the lake was awesome. lots of space for cars in the driveway and they had a lot of yard games and chairs and beach towels stoked and ready to go.

Blue Cottage in the Bay - Walk to beach and shops
Very cute, super comfortable, and clean!!! We had a great stay in this adorable cottage and I would definitely come back. The yard and patio were really nice to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, as well. Very reasonable clean-up tasks, too, which made for a relaxed check-out. The location is also perfect — I came for the Southern Kettle trails just 30 minutes away, but it’s close to everything in downtown Lake Geneva, and there are gems just down the street like Daddy Maxwells.

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!
