About this property
Indiana LAKE HOME SUNSETS. 5 Beds, 3 Baths, 2 Decks, 1 Long Pier, by CHICAGO IL
Bring your family, food and drinks, we've got the rest!
5 Bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, 2 Kitchens, 2 Family Rooms, 2 Fireplaces on an 800 acre All Sports Lake that's great for fishing too! Sleeps 14 people comfortably & we are right on the water with spectacular sunsets to end your day.
Located less than an hour from Chicago, Cedar Lake is only 25 miles SE of Chicago and only 55 miles from Chicago's downtown loop. This 2700 Square Foot Log Home is anything but ordinary. Built with a rustic style but fully equipped with a gourmet kitchen, granite counters, cherry wood floors and 600 square foot of custom wood decks. We have a 70 foot pier that ends with a 20 x 12' party deck for you to enjoy the sunsets. Beach, swimming, boating, restaurants, shopping & attractions are all nearby. Museums, antique shops, mall shopping, water parks, bowling, axe throwing, archery, movie theatres & other great places to eat are nearby. Linens, towels & washer/dryer are in the home so just bring food & drinks & you're set.
Cozy up on those cold nights with 2 stone fireplaces & a 2 person jacuzzi tub in the master suite. Feels like Wisconsin & similar to Paw Paw or Sister's Lake in Michigan. This is the nearest recreational lake south of Chicago, IL. We attract families from Ohio, New York, California, and even Canada. This is the perfect spot for a small reunion of friends or family. NO SMOKING, NO PETS
All rates subject to tax, cleaning and booking fees.

About the host
Hosted by Bill Port
Hello, my name is Bill Port. I am a real estate Broker with Realty Executives Premier. Reach out with any questions you may have.
I previously owned a construction business and have had the opportunity to renovate the homes of some of Chicagoland's most prestigious residents. While I now work as a full time real estate broker, I still enjoy building and working with my hands. This home was a true joy to transform into what it is today. This is my family's home and we will gladly let you use it as yours also.

This is my family's home and we will gladly let you use it as yours also.
Why they chose this property
When my family purchased this home it was in need of great repair. The home was basically a series of multiple additions; the oldest of which originated in the 1800's. Today, there is very little that visibly remains of the original structures. We have renovated this home inside and out in Adirondack Style, with log siding to complete it's rustic feel. The look is rustic, but the feeling is pure comfort. While in the home you will notice the craftsmanship in nearly every room, as well as in the exterior decor. We try to constantly add to the artistic charm of the home. Our most recent addition is a hand crafted Totem Pole carving that guards the front door. If you are looking for a peaceful home to relax with your friends and family, you should consider staying here. We enjoy having guests enjoy the beauty of the lake. If you would like help determining if this is the right place for your get-away. -Bill
