Great spot but needs some attention

We had a small family reunion last weekend at the property. 14 people were able to sleep comfortably the entire weekend, amenities were great, location was quiet and hot tub was fantastic. But it does need some attention. When we first got there, the freezer was frozen shut and upon finally getting it open, it looked like water had been leaking and froze to the bottom. The grill also needs some maintaining as it was quite gross. There are many stains throughout the house, on carpets mainly but some on walls and beds so cleaning needs to be addressed a bit. Overall, the house serves its purpose in housing probably up to 20 people. TV’s are nice and basement offers a solid spot to play games and have some fun.

Fun times

Great home and beautiful views. Most of the closet doors were broken but wasn’t a problem for us. No TVs in the bedrooms which was an issue with the kids at night. Otherwise we loved it and I would go back.

We had a good time

We booked this home somewhat last minute because of trying to align schedules. Our friends kindly joined us close to Chicago as we had a family event the following weekend. We wanted a house on a lake with a pool with enough room for our families. The house served its purpose for that but for what we paid we expected it to be nicer than it was. It seemed the house was undergoing renovations that weren't quite completed. These were minor things like trim not being replaced around doors/windows and towel bars missing. So again, it didn't impact our stay but we did expect more for the money we paid. Perhaps the proximity to Chicago influenced pricing. The house was nicely equipped for the kitchen. There are some basic spices like salt and pepper and other random oils/spices previous people left. Pool and bath towels are provided. There were some pool toys there. There aren't any kayaks or paddle boards for the lake. The house has toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish detergent, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. The area is quite lovely. If you have a boat or want to rent one, it would likely be a lot of fun. All in all a good stay.

Great Weekend Stay

The property is a great getaway for a group of guys looking to have a good time. We had plenty of space to sleep and more than enough space to hangout throughout the stay.
