About the host

Hosted by William Rothgery

Host profile image
I'm an Illinois resident who has enjoyed spending time on Big Long Lake for many years. I purchased this property in 2014 and have loved watching families and friends create memories here ever since.

When I'm not traveling for work, you'll usually find me at the lake working on a project, tinkering with a boat, improving the property, or simply enjoying time with family. Lake life has always been a special part of my life, and I take pride in keeping the home comfortable, well-maintained, and ready for guests to enjoy.

As a father of two daughters and proud grandpa to two Golden Retrievers, I understand how important quality time together can be. My goal is for every guest to feel welcomed from the moment they arrive and to have everything they need for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Whether you're gathering for a family vacation, fishing trip, reunion, or weekend getaway, I hope you'll enjoy Big Long Lake as much as my family has over the years.

Why they chose this property

One of the reasons I fell in love with this area is the sense of community. Over the years, the neighbors around the lake have become like a second family. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and always willing to lend a hand when needed.

Big Long Lake offers the perfect balance of relaxation and recreation. It's a place where you can spend the day boating, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying the view from the dock, then unwind with a peaceful evening by the water. The lake has a family-friendly atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year.

What I enjoy most is that it still feels like a classic lake community—a place where neighbors know each other, families gather, and lasting memories are made. It's a special place, and I'm excited to share it with guests.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property special is that it was designed to be a place where families and friends can comfortably spend time together. The home offers plenty of space to gather, while still giving everyone room to spread out and relax.

Located directly on Big Long Lake, guests can enjoy easy access to boating, fishing, swimming, and lakefront sunsets right from the property. The large deck overlooking the water is a favorite spot for morning coffee, family meals, and evenings spent enjoying the view.

Unlike many vacation rentals, this home has been owned and cared for by the same family for years. We continuously invest in maintaining and improving the property because we genuinely love the lake and want guests to enjoy it as much as we do.

From the welcoming lake community to the waterfront location, private dock, included kayaks, and family-friendly atmosphere, our goal is to provide the kind of classic lake vacation that creates memories for years to come.
