Guests will be able to access all parts of the inside and outside of the home. The only interior inaccessible part of the home is the utility closet for the cleaning and spa company to store supplies. On the outside, the deck, patio and pier is accessible to the guest.

This home is 1 of 6 lake homes directly on the water in the Bay on the Chain O` Lakes.

Our driveway only fits 4 small or mid size cars, or 2 SUV/Trucks at a time. You can get to most of the popular Chain O` Lakes spots within 10 minutes in either direction. There is plenty of Uber or Lyfts in the area if you need to get around without a car. Want to go visit the city? The Metra train station is several minutes away by car.

Bring your fishing gear. There is good fishing in the Bay and in channels. Our kids catch large bass, catfish, bluegill and perch right off our pier in the back yard.

This is a popular house for Naval families to visit and cheer on their boot camp grads since it is only a half hour from the Great Lakes Naval base.

This home is designed safe and secure, and is equipped with a Smart Dead Bolt lock that controls check in and check out times, and has a door camera feature to make sure the correct guests are entering our home. All for your safety and to protect our home.

The driveway is smaller and can hold (4) small to midsize cars MAX, or 2 larger trucks or SUV`s tight. The entrance road and its an old tight road. Be careful pulling in and out of the driveway. Pull in and out very slow. If at all possible have other guests help you back out.

Welcome to Fox Lake! Known as the Heart of the Chain O’ Lakes, this lively village is a favorite spot for boating, fishing, and making memories on the water.

About the host

Hosted by Jergensen Enterprises Property Management

Host profile image
Steve and Willow have 5 kids and love to travel and create memories with their children, and together as a married couple. Vacationing and creating memories are super important to their family. So creating great environments at their vacation homes for their guests is extremely important.

Why they chose this property

This property has simply an amazing view of Chain O Lakes with a direct view off the back deck of the most amazing sunsets. Its a quite lake house neighborhood on the lake front. When scouting a new lake house for the next vacation rental, it became very clear the moment we seen the views on this house, that is would be a perfect vacation house for many who visit it!

What makes this property unique

It does not get any more lake house than this property. It just feels like an old lake house, but modernized with a fresh feel. The back deck is our favorite part of this home. It is like center stage for thousands of beautiful sunset picks over the Bay. Both bathrooms have luxury rainfall showers installed so you will never enjoy daily showers more. The open floor plan is great for family to be in their own space, but yet still together.
