About this property

Charming home near Lake Michigan, bike paths, and high school

This peaceful and elegant five-bedroom, three-bathroom home is situated three minutes by car from Lake Michigan, a ten-minute walk from downtown Lake Forest, and a two-minute walk from LFHS. With its comfortable layout and spacious living room with a fireplace and view that looks out to a beautiful backyard patio and garden, it is the perfect place to unwind and relax while taking in the beauty of Lake Forest. If you enjoy biking/jogging, the McClory Bike Path is directly across the street and is a wonderful way to explore the cities along Chicago's North Shore. For the urban explorers, Lake Forest's commuter rail station is less than 1 mile away, offering easy transit to and from Chicago. In this quiet and tranquil part of Lake Forest, which is the perfect distance from the village's downtown, you can experience the best that Lake County has to offer. For those that enjoy cooking at home, a basic kitchen setup, including pots and pans, is available. Moreover, for those visiting for graduation ceremonies or to enjoy events hosted by Lake Forest High School and Lake Forest College, this is an ideal vacation spot. Our backyard will be perfectly set up with 2 large couches, sun umbrella, wood burning pit, bean bag throwing game. The bed sizes for each of the rooms is available in the bedroom description category and pictures for the bedrooms are also included with the photos of the property. Badminton and tennis rackets are also available to visit local courts. The house is not child-proof for small children. We look forward to having you as our guests!

Great spot!
Perfect for our family for a family wedding. Was glad we needed only 4 bedrooms, as the 5th you had to walk through another bedroom and bathroom to access.

Good choice in Lake Forest
Came to Chicago for a family reunion and selected to stay at Lake Forest. The house we stayed was perfect for the size of my family (7 adults and 1 child) and it was located in an excellent neighborhood. Also the property contact was very nice and attentive to all of our needs. Lana was wonderful Highly recommend the property.

Nice Gem near center of Lake Forest
Everything from the location to Lana’s level of communication was perfect. This is a great spot to easily walk into town, short drive to a great beach, and easy access from the major highways. We were there for soccer games in Waukeegan and am happy we stayed here over incredibly overpriced hotels. The main living area is great for a larger group to hang. Outdoor space nice. Great grill for home cooking. Great for a couple of families with several bedrooms. Will stay again if we’re back this way. Thanks again Lana!

We loved this place!
It's an adorable house in a very cute location. We really enjoyed how close it is to everything. The owner was great at communicating and everything was stocked, exactly what we needed. The house is so cute and the backyard was fun to hang out in. And it was much bigger than we expected! I have two children under eight and they enjoyed this house as well.

Lake forest
Lana’s place in Lake Forest was the perfect place to visit our family in Waukegan but close enough to use the train and visit Chicago. There was plenty of room at the house for us to host dinner a few times which was amazing for our little reunion. Our host was also very accommodating and was awesome at communicating. This place is also very walkable to the Market square that has restaurants and shops! We also visited the beach only 25 mins away. The house was perfect for our amount of people and dogs and had everything we needed to have a good time.
