About this property

Need to get away? Walk to two municipal beaches where residents gather for summer fun, picnicking, swimming, sand castle building or simply lazing in the sun.

Rowboats, paddle boats, canoes and small sailboats dot this quiet lake where no motors are allowed. The lake is stocked with muskies, northerns, bass and an array of panfish.

Winter has its own special attractions. When the lake freezes over, the ice is alive with hockey games, figure skaters, ice fishing fans and cross-country skiers.

The space
Looking for a lake-area retreat? Book this cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath vacation cottage located in the adorable town of Oakwood Hills. Just minutes from quaint downtown Cary and Crystal Lake.

The fully equipped kitchen offers ample countertop space where you can prepare a home-cooked meal while your travel companions join you. Enjoy the feast at the nearby kitchen table. Looking to elevate your meal? Ditch the indoor table and cook out on the furnished deck complete with an outdoor grill.

After a day exploring the great outdoors, look forward to returning home for a leisurely afternoon. Curl up on the plush new living room sofa with a good book, or indulge in a quick snooze to refresh and recharge. Log on to WiFi, or watch your favorite movies on the flat-screen which includes YouTube TV programming for your viewing pleasure. Netflix, Hulu, and Prime are conveniently accessible as well.

At night, gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows with your companions, before retiring to one of the inviting bedrooms for a good night's sleep.

Pack lightly when you travel to this lovely home, as you'll be able to refresh your laundry in the washer and dryer.

There is a large two car garage that is available to rent for $50 per day as an add on to your reservation... So your car will be protected!

Clean and Comfy

We very much enjoyed our stay. We were visiting family in Wauconda for the New Year only a 15 minute drive. Home was clean and comfy. We slept in the room right off the living room and the bed was very comfortable. The couch was nice to sit and lay on to read. Appreciated the information online and in the house. We contacted the agent on New Years day for the Roku password and he responded promptly. Would highly recommend. You have to climb stairs to get into the home though once in all is on one floor.

Thumbs up

Everything was great. We were in for a wedding and we enjoyed having this space rather than staying in a hotel. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Thx

Our trip back home

This cute cottage had everything we needed to enjoy our trip back home for the week. Kitchen was well stocked. Loved that there was coffee and creamer! Plenty of towels and extra blankets. We enjoyed having morning coffee outside on the deck. The only thing we struggled with was replenishing the hot water for 5 of us to shower.

Perfect for Two Adults

This small property had everything that we needed in order to enjoy a visit with friends and family in the area. The location is a quiet lakeside community of well tended homes. Stores are only a few minutes away by car. We would definitely stay at this VRBO again if we are in the area!

Nice Stay

Overall we had a great trip, 6 adults total. It was tight but we made it work. The property was in a nice area, clean, it did have a slight odor though. Mark was very communicative, we did have an issue checking in using the code that was provided but it was resolved quickly.
