This is our second time at this lake house. It's on a great part of Fox Lake with not a lot of boat traffic. The house has everything you need for a visit. I especially love how well stocked the kitchen is with spices and utensils. Bathrooms have basic toiletries (you will need your own shampoo) and nice thick towels. Josh the owner is extremely easy to reach and very helpful.

Lakefront Home

Living on a lake for a week was heavenly. The home was comfortable, clean, and fully equipped for cooking most of our meals in. We enjoyed the fire pit nightly and loved relaxing and eating on the deck. We also loved how close the house is to amazing restaurants and Lakefront Beach where we brought our little girls for some play and beach time. We brought our dogs and loved it that the backyard is fenced in. It was a perfect week at a perfect lake house.

Loved this home. Very clean and the property had everything you could need to enjoy your stay. Josh the host was very responsive and thorough during our bioking process and he also set up the boat rent for us and it was ready to go when we arrived. Our only complaint is that the home is already booked for the summer and wed love to stay there more this summer. Hope yo stay there again very soon.

Amazing rental!

We had an amazing time at this beautifully appointed lakeside retreat. The house was very clean, stocked, with plenty of space for our two families to spread out and enjoy. We were lucky enough to get snow during our stay- making it a beautiful winter wonderland. We are already planning a return trip to enjoy the summer months on the lake.

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

House was in a great location to everything you would want to see in the area. Very well kept, clean and easy check in. Josh had everything ready and detailed on how to work TV's, blinds, etc. Only drawback was the king bed in the 2nd bedroom. The mattress was very uncomfortable for sleeping. Definitely would not want to sleep in it for more than the 2 nights we did. All the others beds were perfect!

Great Weekend in Amazing Property

First of all this lakeside home was breath taking and so very cozy. Everything we could have possibly needed we had available, beds were comfortable and the space was perfect for my small family visiting our son for his Naval boot camp graduation. Thank you Josh for opening your doors to us and allowing us to visit your home. It was perfect.

Well appointed, dog friendly home

We were looking for a spot for our family of 5 (all adults) to stay while in the area for our youngest son’s graduation from boot camp. This was the perfect spot. It was serene and peaceful. Plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen had everything we needed (important, as our boy was anticipating some good home cooking). Neighbors were friendly. Best of all, communication with the host was amazing. Very clear check in instructions, and very responsive. Would 100% recommend this spot, and would love to return during the warmer weather to take advantage of the lake.

Relaxing and comfortable Lake Home

We were grateful to stay at this home on the Fox Lake Chain. Josh, the host was attentive and available prior to our stay and during our stay. We appreciated his communication throughout. The home was perfect for our group of 5 with plenty of comfortable sleeping areas. The home had everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed. We enjoyed the outside areas. Coffee on the porch in the quiet of the morning was a treat. We enjoyed the fire pit at the lakeside and the stack of wood for our use. The home is located in a quiet residential area which was a plus. I only wish we could have enjoyed more time at this property. Josh, thank you for your hospitality.

If you rent this property, you will not be disappointed. My wife, daughter, and I highly recommend this VRBO. Its clean and fresh and exactly like it is stated in the advertising. We were also able to rent a pontoon boat as a separate agreement with the owner. The boat was also newer and clean. I don't think that you can find a better place on the chain!
