We had a great time! The house was clean and perfect for our family. The kids enjoyed fishing on the pier and had a blast tubing on the lake. We all loved the boat. The host was friendly and quick to answer our questions. We hope to come back next summer.
We had 9 family members who came from 3 different states. We enjoyed the beautiful view and the access to the kayaks, paddle boards, and the pontoon boat. The house is well stocked with all of the essentials one would need to cook meals at home. Our host was very responsive and ensured we had a wonderful stay.
We stayed for four nights with family and soon to be in-laws. Had a great time, everyone loved the rental, the backyard and the pontoon we rented for a relaxing day on the water.The kitchen had nice quantities of plates, silverware and glasses. Will was a great host and immediately answered my text looking for info. Would highly recommend!
The property definitely had a secluded feel despite being in a neighborhood. Overall the place was very clean and organized and just what we were looking for! Everyone had a wonderful time
The host has thought of every detail. Very comfortable, including the beds. We stayed in March but I could see how perfect this location would be in the summer.
We had a great time at this property! It was clean and comfy with great views. Located about 15 mins from Wilmont was great for our family and friends to use the hot tub and recuperate after a long day of skiing! The host is very communicative and thoughtful.
Our family had a great time enjoying the lake. The house was comfortable with plenty of room for everyone (7 adults and one infant). We especially enjoyed the boat.
We stayed both last year and this year at this wonderful place. Will is so easy to talk to which made the arrangements so easy. The place is was very clean when we arrive and everything works. The pontoon boat is well maintained and added to the fun of our trip. We absolutely recommend staying here.
Had a great time at his beautiful cottage! The house is spacious and a perfect little retreat. Will was extremely accessible in case we had any questions. Very kid friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. Thank you!
Great Lake house with tons of amenities. Sonos speakers though out the house, fire pit, hot tub, black stone grill and multiple kayaks. We rented the pontoon as well which was amazing to have. Will was super responsive both before and during our stay. Would highly recommend staying here.
We had a wonderful time! The place was great and just as described! While the temperatures dipped down into the negative numbers, we had the best time on the nearby slopes and enjoyed the hot tub, heated garage, fireplace, and black-stone. The house had everything we needed. We cooked all our meals for the weekend there and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories with family and friends!!
The property was wonderful and had everything we needed. It has been a hot summer and unfortunately the lake was green with algae with lots of dead fish. Something the owner has no control over.
A large group of us went here for a girls' weekend before a wedding, and we had a fantastic time. The lake is great for swimming, and the property is beautiful with a firepit we used for s'mores. The house was set up really nicely for big groups, with plenty of seating inside where we could all be together chatting and hanging out, and a big table on the patio where we all fit to eat meals outdoors. There were plenty of comfy beds with fantastic mattresses and comforters so we all slept great! Will was very flexible and responsive to messages and let us have a late checkout since no one was coming in after us, which made our last day so much easier and more pleasant. We loved our time at Lake Shangri-La and would love to come back!
This place was fabulous!! We immediately felt at home in Will’s clean, comfortable, well-stocked house with the great deck and lovely lake view. We rented the pontoon and enjoyed fishing and boating. We also used Will’s kayaks, paddle board and huge floating mat (“Lily pad”) a lot. The new, sturdy stairs into the water were a huge bonus- many lake places don’t have that. My 86 year old mom and my young grandson could get into the water easily! There’s a nice ping-ping table, firepit, firewood, and a cozy hot tub. Communication from start to finish was excellent!! Will was VERY responsive and helpful. The location was super, because my daughter and son-in-law could easily zip back to their home/work in Chicago as needed, and my son was able to fly in from Florida and it was a short trip from O’Hare. The lake was very close to grocery stores and convenient to go see the impressive water ski show in Twin Lakes and go to bars/restaurants on nearby Fox Lake and Lake Marie. Antioch is a cute town as well. I highly recommend Will’s awesome house on Lake Shangrila!!
This was a great place to rent for our group. More than enough room for two families. Had everything we could want to entertain 5 kiddos (including the pontoon rental). Will was quick to reply and even available in short notice while we were there. Would recommend!
Rented this spot with a few friends for a weekend. William was great at communicating with us about everything and was very prompt with answering questions. Great spot for a weekend trip, couldn’t recommend this place enough!
We had a great winter weekend getaway at this lake house. The proximity to Wilmot is perfect and the house is very accommodating to a larger group. Will was a super attentive host and the house was well stocked and very clean! Thank you, Will!
We had a great time renting this house with our family and goldendoodle. House was lovely and clean and the view over the lake beautiful. All was as described and the owner was very easy to communicate with. I would recommend this house and come back when the weather is better for fishing.
We had a great time staying at this lake house for the weekend! Love how many people the house could accommodate, and a great spot on the lake. Will was very easy to communicate with, and very responsive. Would love to come back and stay again.
We had a great time. Spacious, clean & beautiful home on the perfect lake for us. Will is a fabulous, flexible host - communication before and during was excellent..

About the host
Hosted by Will Scott
I work hard and I play hard and Lake Shangrila has been the perfect place to work, play and relax. I also travel extensively so the house is usually available to rent but it is a home too so expect a mix of clean, tidy and homely. If in a different timezone, I may be slower to respond. Contact my co-host Chloe at 630-229-1085 if so.
Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is beautiful and wrapped around the lake. Also full of great and friendly neighbors that care about the lake and our environment. Having a lake house retreat less than an hour from O'Hare airport is wonderful for families and memories are made here.
What makes this property unique
Property has beautiful panoramic views of the lake and direct lake access with a small beach and 2 piers, 1 of which can be used by your guest boat. Enjoy the hot tub, Blackstone grill, yard games all lakeside and depending on weather we have ping pong and hangout in the agrage with its own TV.
Also unique is our large inclined driveway with parking for up to 6 cars.
