About the host
Hosted by Modesta Gapsyte
Me and my husband we live in Chicago area, we bought this house to enjoy the quite lake and relax on our care free days when we don't have to work. After sometime we noticed that we can't be there all the time so we decided to offer the relaxing setting to other people that need a time away from their busy lives. We just wanted to share our house and welcome anyone who wants to have a nice, relaxing vacation away from the city and all the noise.
Why they chose this property
The house sits on semi private Pickerel lake. The lake is all sports lake, you can go swimming, fishing, jet skiing, boating or do any other water activity. During winter the lake freezes and ice fishing is available. It is a quiet lake since there is no public beach. The lake is about 135 acres in size. It is approximately 10 feet deep at its deepest point. When fishing you can expect to catch variety of fish including Bluegill, Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike.
What makes this property unique
We love watching the swan family from our 2nd floor deck.
