Beautiful lake house tucked away in quiet neighborhood

Long term living on the lake! This beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home right on the lake is perfect for your long term stay. Wake up each morning with coffee on the deck listening to the birds chirping. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood right off rt 176, not too far from Chicago but far enough to feel like you’re on a vacation.

Would stay again
Everything was exactly as described. Cute, clean, updated little house right on island lake. The stairs are a little scary for young kids but we made it work. Host is very sweet, helpful, and responsive.

Great lake cottage in island lake
We had a wonderful stay in Island Lake. Enjoyed sitting outside every morning drinking our coffee/tea & listening to all the bird life. The Blue Herons were so fun to watch fly by all day long. The inside was very cute & comfortable for our family. We would love to have the pleasure of staying here again when we visit our family in IL.

Gorgeous lake house
We absolutely loved staying at this house. All of the finishes are so inviting and made us feel at home. The view of the lake is tranquil and relaxing. It was in close proximity to our family in Woodstock. I can't say enough about this cozy house. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Getaway
We needed a place to stay for a few days and really enjoyed the home. Very clean, kitchen well stocked, access to the lake and other beaches are close by. But what we enjoyed the most was the peace and quiet. I highly recommend this home.

Wrong code provided, couldn’t get in
I reserved this property months in advance for myself, my senior mother and my 6 year old. We received the access code the day before our arrival. When we arrived after a long day of travel at 9:30 pm, the access code did not work and the owner could not be reached by phone, VRBO message or the ring doorbell on the property. It was late and freezing and VRBO customer service was of absolutely no help. After an hour in the cold, trying desperately to reach the host and work with VRBO, we went to the nearest hotel, 20 minutes away, and secured rooms there instead. The host finally texted me the correct code while I was checking in to the hotel. By then it was too late and we ultimately did not stay at this home. The lack of attentiveness of the host and loss of this accommodation for us was a major inconvenience which significantly impacted our entire trip. In addition to a very long night upon our arrival, we had to stay much further from the event for which we were in town. Blizzard conditions over the weekend made this extremely dangerous. We did receive a refund.

Great Christmas!
Our family of 4 stayed Christmas Eve and Day. Very clean, updated, and cozy. Great view of the lake. Carley even put up a Christmas tree! We had a great Christmas here and would love to return in the future.

Thanksgiving celebration at the lake
This house gave us an opportunity to provide a place for all of our adult kids to meet up for Thanksgiving. The house met all of our needs and had enough utensils for me to put together a Thanksgiving meal. I would have given 5 stars except it would have been nice to know that it was a cat home. We have a couple family members with allergies who suffered a bit.

Most beautiful location and lake view among other houses
Very cozy house with charming view on the lake and other houses. Great fishing though even from pear. The house might appear small among other houses but it’s really spacious inside. For 6 people just perfect. Definitely recommend this place.
