Thank you so much. I can't say enough how much that means to hear all the wonderful things you had to say about our place. We try very hard to ease the stress of traveling for our guests and to have them leave happy and excited about their stay. Thank you again!
We loved our stay at Mellow Yellow! A coworker and I were in the area for a 3-day conference and wanted a quiet place of our own. This place was perfect, clean and cozy. We especially appreciated the Keurig machine so we could have our morning (and sometimes evening) coffee in the comfort of "home". I would definitely stay here again!
Such a charming little house and perfect for a small family or small group! If you need to be in this area like we did you cannot go wrong in this cry family-friendly location. Clean, well kept, and terrific hosts.
House was SO WELL equipped clean! Found TV very difficult to operate for basic channels ! Across the street neighbor VERY FRIENDLY and HELPFULLY. Tell her THANKS!!! Just very disappointed we couldn’t leave our small dog out ( even for a walk) without VERY BIG dogs ( no less than two a yard) jumping barking ! I know u can’t control that- but DO question the” pet friendly”
Great place to stay. Very clean house in friendly, walkable neighborhood. 2 blocks away from lake park and walking trails. Beautiful large fenced backyard for our dogs to run and explore. Also great deck. Highly recommend!
It felt like home! Clean, inviting, everything we needed was at our fingertips including a big fenced in back yard and deck as well as a charming walkable neighborhood which allowed our dog to join us, Our son's wedding went off without a hitch and this place was so convenient to every event of the day. Will plan to return on our next visit. Thank you!
This house was perfect! The location was close to everything. The house itself was clean and The host Jon was very easy to contact and responded quickly.
Had family stay here during a recent visit to Grayslake and it was perfect! Just as advertised, convenient, and Jon was very responsible. Highly recommend!
Very clean and great location. Jon was very easy to communicate with. Like the extras in the home. Had kids over for a bbque and the grill was perfect touch.
Super cute home with a large well maintained yard, perfect for our 2 large dogs! They had a blast running around! Perfect location close to the little downtown shops and restaurants. Quiet neighborhood and close to our friends! Great stay!

Why they chose this property
I've owned this property for some time now and have used it as a long-term rental. I always liked the idea of providing short-term rental for people and being able to meet and get to know people from all over the world so I decided in 2022 to start having it as a vacation rental. :). But don't worry, I'll let you decide how much communication you want. :) I'm always available for any questions.
What makes this property unique
Grayslake is in a perfect location and close to so many things. You can have a quiet and relaxing getaway. There are also many attractions close by including Six Flags Great America, Great Lakes Naval Base, Chain of Lakes, Gurnee Mills Mall, Independence Grove and Chicago.
