About this property

Enjoy Spectacular Sunset Views ☀️ On True Lakefront

Amenities include a brand new 600 square foot deck with unobstructed views of the Fox Chain O' Lakes for the grill-master to enjoy. Only 25 steps away from the home are 2 private 24' docks for those evenings when you want to catch the moonlight off of the water or fish. With 175 feet of private waterfront, our floor-to-ceiling bay window will lend a stunning lake view and has built-in bench seating surrounding a custom-built table designed to accommodate 8 people with 4 additional counter stools that surround the kitchen island.
We have a completely renovated, raised ranch-style home with an open concept including an updated kitchen (with all the amenities) and living room. The master bedroom features a brand-new king bedroom suite with walk-in closet (smart TV). The second bedroom has a queen bed with nightstand and a chair 1/2 twin sleeper featuring direct lake views out of 5 of 7 windows (smart TV). The main floor also has a remodeled bathroom with shower. Also remodeled is our lower-level, featuring a sectional sleeper, a bedroom cove with 2 twin beds accompanied by a trundle unit, updated second bathroom with shower, and a laundry room.
Take a paddle on 1 of 2 kayaks (included) or enjoy conversation around the nice firepit to talk about your memorable day on the lake or your activities in downtown Fox Lake which is only a half-mile away! We have plenty of space in the back yard to set up for a corn-hole tournament or other outdoor activities to keep you outdoors when you are not on the lake.
Summer fun: You will be a 25-minute drive to 6 flags or spend the day at the beautiful Chain O' Lakes State Park which is only an 8-minute drive. The home is also in close proximity to a beach with a park for the kiddos! Head downtown and grab an ice cream, take in a movie at Fox Lake theatre, or browse the local shops.
Winter fun: Whether its snow skiing at Wilmot Mountain which is only a 12 minute drive, Snowmobiling, or Ice Fishing, there are plenty of memories to make!
The Chain O'Lakes, or simply "The Chain", is a waterway system composed of 15 lakes connected by the Fox River and man-made channels. Encompassing more than 7,100 acres of water, 488 miles of shoreline and 45 miles of river. There are too many restaurants to mention with boat access located on the Chain however we are very close to El Puerto Mexican Restaurant which is a local favorite. Enjoy Blarney's Island which feature a restaurant, bar, and live entertainment daily in the summer and only accessible by boat!

Great little place
This house was efficiently laid out to use all the space available and the baskets of snacks or items we may have forgotten were a nice touch too. It was perfect for our 2 little families to spend the weekend!

Perfect Getaway House!
This is a perfect getaway house in an ideal spot on Fox Lake. Right on the water with gorgeous views in all directions. Great deck and yard with anything you'd need to maximize your fun and comfort. Lots of parking. The house itself is so cozy and comfortable, clean and updated. Really great use of the space and every amenity has been provided, and then some. Super nice hosts with great communication. If you're considering houses on the Chain of Lakes, I don't think you'll do better than this one and we can't wait to return!

Perfect Lakefront House.
We had a phenomenal stay at Kirk & Laura's lake house with our family of four (and dog). The hosts are very responsive and wonderful communicators. Everything is updated, comfortable and super organized. The hosts have definitely put thought into providing whatever you could need (& then some) to make your stay easy. There was a welcome basket with assorted snacks, which our kids LOVED. Not sure why but someone else's snacks always taste better. We took advantage of renting the boat and exploring the lake, which was super fun. Appreciated the cabana on the porch where I could have shade while enjoying the view. Lots of places to walk to within a half mile. We walked to El Puerto restaurant, the Tuesday Farmer's Market and downtown Fox Lake. There is also a long stretch of bike/walking trail that starts in the downtown area that we used often during our stay. We also enjoyed the kayaks in the morning when the water was calm. The kids also got a kick out of the huge family friendly DVD collection. You must bring your water shoes if you want to go into the lake by the house since there are rocks and some glass. We loved everything about this trip and this lake home. Hope to return next year.

About the host

Hosted by Kirk Handley

Host profile image
Our family is from Plainfield Illinois where we have raised our 3 children and It has been our dream to have a lake house on the Chain O' Lakes in Illinois. We made the decision in 2021 rent out our home in order to be able to share that dream for others and make great memories like we already have. With an extensive back-round in quality service, it is our goal to offer an exceptional experience for each and every family that is able to stay.

Why they chose this property

The Chain O' Lakes has so much to offer and being only an hour out of Chicago, with the natural views, it is hard to believe it's so close.

What makes this property unique

Located on a peninsula between Nippersink and Fox Lake, the views from the property are too incredible to explain. 175' feet of waterfront allow for a wonderful vacation experience.
