July stay
The trip was nice. We did find the house appliances to be pretty dated. We were also looking forward to using the kayaks and there was only one available, and no paddles. The pond wasn't really usable for the kayaks either. Otherwise, was a nice and peaceful stay.

A Magical stay!
This property met every expectation and Lisa was a great communicator. I felt like I was being annoying with my questions before arriving but Lisa was really nice and responded promptly to every question. My friends and I were looking for a quick Winter getaway right outside of Chicago and we couldn’t have found a more perfect place. The kids enjoyed the arts and crafts and all the games. The adults loved the flow of the space and all the amenities. My daughter wants to come back for her birthday! Thank you again for everything Lisa! I cant wait to come back in the Summer!
