About this property

This spacious home is great for a family reunion or multi family get away. Don’t let the river front scare you. It’s minutes from Pistakee Lake and has a large water front that is like being right on the lake. Lots of room to relax and enjoy with plenty of space to spread out. Enjoy the river views in a huge new hot tub that comfortably seats 8 adults. If that is not your joy, then pull up a chair and watch the fire burn while relaxing nearby. Boat and jet ski rentals available right in the area and space to keep your toys tied up or easy in and out service available minutes away. Lots of parking and outdoor space.

Fantastic property

16 women who have been working together for 20 years spent the weekend at this house to celebrate a recent retirement. This property is spectacular. It is set right on the River and is very large. We cooked in both nights and the kitchen was great the way the beds and bathrooms are set up works perfectly for a big group. The beds are all brand new and extremely comfortable. We utilized the hot tub, the fire pit, the downstairs bar room with pool table and the large TV room for college football viewing. We had a few questions and Kristin got back to us immediately. She is a great host. My entire group absolutely loved this house. Thank you so much Kristin

Great Property and Manager

We booked a weekend here to have a 40th birthday celebration for a group of longtime friends and it was absolutely perfect for it. There were plenty of beds for our group of 11 adults to be comfortable. The backyard is where this place really shines! It's right on the water with a nice gravel bottom ideal for swimming. The large firepit, deck, and hot tub were all great social spots. We had perfect weather, but if it rained the plan was to move to the basement with the bar and pool table. Also of note, the place is a 5 minute drive to Woodman's for supplies and several bars/restaurants. The owner provided their phone number and was extremely welcoming and responsive to any questions. We definitely hope to stay again!

Family Love

We can't say enough about the quality of this stay in every aspect from booking to check-in to check-out, and everything in between. This place was one of the nicest places that I have stayed in. All contact persons went above and beyond to make our stay one of the greatest.

Great retreat!

We loved our time at Fox Lake! Kris and Christie were very communicative and accommodating. They greeted us when we arrived and answered any questions we had throughout the weekend. The backyard has plenty of space for games and people to hangout on the layout chairs or the fire pit. The kitchen was stocked with just about any tool and spice you might need.

Bright, extremely clean house, and kind owners

We were a big 4-generation group and of course forgot a few things (and broke a few things). The owners could not have been nicer about it!! I really appreciated their communication. I don’t ever leave reviews, anywhere, but just had to say thanks again for sending us what we forgot! Very clean, bright, large space. So many extra beds. We probably should have brought sleep masks—the light was beautiful but was it ever bright in the morning on the upper floors. Fully stocked kitchen, with many nice touches. We ended up using it a lot as a result! Thank you for making home-cooking so easy. A nice stock of board games and children’s books. This house is great for hide and seek, too! Overall, an easy place to hang out in all day for the whole family.

About the host

Hosted by Kristin Jobski

We are a group of 3 couples who purchased this property as a get away to enjoy with our families. We wanted to share our love of the property when we are not able to use with others. We treat this as a second home with all the comforts and luxuries we enjoy. It is our hope that others treat this as they would their own homes and feel like we do when visiting.

Why they chose this property

We take pride in owning and renting this big and comfortable home. We make sure the home is clean and ready for guests all year. There is so much room, even with bad weather you will find plenty to keep everyone busy. The area is also very lively with a drive in movie theater, Volo Auto Museum, shops and many restaurants and bars. A great vacation spot for the whole family.
