We loved our stay at Mellow Yellow! A coworker and I were in the area for a 3-day conference and wanted a quiet place of our own. This place was perfect, clean and cozy. We especially appreciated the Keurig machine so we could have our morning (and sometimes evening) coffee in the comfort of "home". I would definitely stay here again!

It felt like home! Clean, inviting, everything we needed was at our fingertips including a big fenced in back yard and deck as well as a charming walkable neighborhood which allowed our dog to join us, Our son's wedding went off without a hitch and this place was so convenient to every event of the day.

Why they chose this property

I've owned this property for some time now and have used it as a long-term rental. I always liked the idea of providing short-term rental for people and being able to meet and get to know people from all over the world so I decided in 2022 to start having it as a vacation rental. :). But don't worry, I'll let you decide how much communication you want. :) I'm always available for any questions.

What makes this property unique

Grayslake is in a perfect location and close to so many things. You can have a quiet and relaxing getaway. There are also many attractions close by including Six Flags Great America, Great Lakes Naval Base, Chain of Lakes, Gurnee Mills Mall, Independence Grove and Chicago.
