About this property

Cozy Cottage on Lake Dalecarlia

Enjoy your morning coffee in a sunroom with spectacular views of the lake. Birds abound including Swans, Pelicans, Swallows, Herons, and Bald Eagles. Stroll down to the lake and sip a beverage on the lakeside patio. Take a dip in the lake, float on a raft, or bring your fishing pole! There are plenty of fish to catch. At night you can chill to the quiet of a summer evening with just the sound of the waves and the birds, or enjoy a fire by the lake. If you're looking for entertainment, there are two smart TV's, one with a mini theater. Free wi-if of course! And there are plenty of Games to Play.
Kids will enjoy the bunkie room with a camping theme, and their own living room! The cottage is close enough to restaurants and shopping, but far away enough to make it quiet and peaceful!

If you're looking for local attractions, the Shrine of Christ's Passion is less than 15 minutes away; the Albanese Candy Factory is within 25 minutes, and the Fairoaks Farm tour and restaurant is 40 minutes by the back roads.

Lake Dalecarlia is a small private lake. ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES or extra guests are permitted, out of courtesy to the neighbors and for liability reasons. Registered guests only please! Violators will be subject to additional charges.

Beautiful Lake Cottage with Amazing Views!

We had a great time at this lake house. The views of the lake are amazing and the cottage is decorated beautifully. The home is very cozy and we loved the powered recliners and adjustable bed. Our kids love to fish and they caught a bunch of bluegill, bass and catfish on the dock. We also enjoyed swimming by the dock and relaxing in the tubes. The owner is very nice and accommodating. We definitely will recommend this place to our family and friends and would love to come back soon.

The perfect escape

My husband and I needed a quick getaway to unwind and connect. Sandy's place was perfect! it's less than 1 hour from Chicago and is so peaceful and serene. She provided ice and water bottles which really came in handy. The lake was beautiful, the house had everything we could have needed. We've already talked about making this a quarterly escape to connect and unwind. We'll be back for sure.

We enjoyed our stay and could not ask for a better weekend getaway to relax and enjoy the lake. The property is nicely decorated and very up-to-date. We enjoyed fishing on the dock, the patio, and basement.. The property owner is super friendly to communicate with and made our stay great. Will definitely be back for another weekend trip! Highly recommended!

Perfect cottage for a girl's weekend away. The lake front, nautical decor and amenities felt like we were miles away from everything but close enough to grab some fun in the city AND at the local haunts. Thank you for this delightful gem! We will be back!

Great getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our time at this property. We spent a few days there doing some work and enjoying the scenery. The house is very nicely decorated and has a cozy feel. I would recommend water shoes though if you are looking to spend any time in the lake - the bottom is a bit gungy, rocky and pretty shallow in some places.

Very cute lake cottage. It is heavily decorated, almost making you feel like you’re living in a showplace, not a cozy cottage. Overall price is very exorbitant, and the Wi-Fi did not work the 2nd Day I was there which is a real problem because cell service is very poor. Not a place I would stay a second time.

Definitely recommend

Sandy is an excellent host. This home is so well stocked and furnished. It is well thought out and so comfortable. Down to the electric powered chairs in the LR and adjustable queen bed. The view from the 4 season room is beautiful, relaxing and inviting. You will want to nothing here. We did not use the downstairs but there is a great movie watching space and another table for four and a full bath in the basement with a washer and dryer. Don’t think just book.

Luxurious accommodations

This is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed with VRBO! It is clear that the host Sandy has taken a lot of care to make it the most chic and comfortable home. We loved being right on the lake - looking out at the water from the sunroom at all hours of the day, swimming, fishing off the pier (and we were only there 3 days!). It is probably more suited to a family with two parents and a couple of kids, as our friend staying with us found the bunk beds too small for an adult, but she just slept on the couch in one of the three living rooms.

Breathtaking!!!

By far, this was the most beautiful home i have stayed in to date. I couldn't be more appreciative of the hospitality that Sandy had offered. Pictures do NOT do this place justice. Gorgeous home, breathtaking views, extremely cozy, and it was extremely hard for me to pack up and leave. I felt like I was "Home"! Now I'm looking into buying a lake house for myself. Thank you so much and I hope to stay here again in the near future.
