Amazing rental!

We had an amazing time at this beautifully appointed lakeside retreat. The house was very clean, stocked, with plenty of space for our two families to spread out and enjoy. We were lucky enough to get snow during our stay- making it a beautiful winter wonderland. We are already planning a return trip to enjoy the summer months on the lake.

We enjoyed our time here with our family and friends. Josh was great to work with and quick to respond with answers to questions. The house is located in a great spot on fox lake away from the lake traffic. The shade in the afternoon and the view on the lake was very idyllic way to wind down the day.

About the host

Hosted by Josh

Host profile image
Having grown up in northern Wisconsin I became accustomed to being on the water and learned to love outdoors! In spring you'll find me training for my next race or triathlon, summer you'll find me on the water or by a bonfire, in fall I'll be watching football and hiking to see fall colors, and winter I'll head to Colorado to some of my favorite ski resorts!

I love to travel and would say that Turks & Caicos has been my favorite destination thus far but St Lucia would be a very close second.

I'm the owner of a few small businesses and love to support the same. And I take great pride in providing a 5 star service for your stay!

Why they chose this property

This home sits directly on Mineola Bay on the Chain O' Lakes, in the heart of Fox Lake within walking distance of the downtown area and other amenities for the family. Forgot something? A convenient store is right across the street. Hungry? there are 2-3 restaurants in walking distance? Want a drink? There is a bar within a 5 minute walk. Need some groceries? There is a a local grocery store within walking distance to the home. Everything is so convenient for you.

And Naval families, we are just a half hour from the Great Lake Naval base!

What makes this property unique

Two story windows provide endless views as the property sits directly on the lake. The home is located on a one way dead end street which is incredibly quiet and secluded.
