About this property
Nippersink Lakehouse - Private Pier, Jet Ski ramp and Pet Friendly!
It is a perfect gateway home for the family or a small group. The beautiful sunset can be viewed from the raised deck or the private pier. There are 2 jet ski ramps and room for boat parking, so bring your water toys and enjoy this amazing boating vacation property. Nippersink lake is right in the middle of the 13 interconnected lakes that makes up the amazing chain of lakes. Enjoy fishing, utilizing the 4 provided kayaks or stand-up paddle boards upon request for unlimited water fun. The firepit next to the water sets the stage for perfect s'more making evenings. The deck overlooking the water is equipped with a gas grill and outdoor seating for meals.
House includes all towels, linens, and normal kitchen utensils. Hi speed Wi-Fi, games, cooler, beach towels and a few life jackets. We also have s'more making sticks and some firewood to kick start your weekend.
Available upon request and for addl. fee – Lily pad, kneeboard, wake boards, waterskies, tube.
There are so many things nearby to do. The Volo museums are a great rainy day family attraction. There is Wilmot mountain for winter skiing or tubing and ice fishing on several of the lakes. Wilmot also has a great dirt race track that runs in the summer. Walking distance to Metra station and downtown Fox Lake businesses. Short drives to:
-Lake Geneva, 30 minutes
-Great Lakes Navel Base 30 minutes
-Six Flags Great America, 25 minutes
-Gurnee Mills, 25 minutes
On the water the list is endless; there are several sandbars to anchor and play plus many deep lakes to anchor and float. You can get to more than 30 bars and restaurants by boat. Blarney Island has adult parties at night and a nice family atmosphere on Sundays with live music at 2:00. Thursday nights Blarney also has boat racing so if you like speed that will be for you! If you do not have a boat you can rent from several places on the water and Blarney has a shuttle that goes to the Island from the Port.
Fox lake has many activities at Lake Front Park you can look at the community calendar for a full listing. Friday nights there is music in the park and Tuesday night is the farmers market.
Book now for your fabulous lake vacation!

We are so lucky to live year round on this amazing lake. Ending a busy day with a glass of wine on the deck watching the sunset is my absolute favorite thing.
Mark and I want nothing more than for you to enjoy that same experience. Along with my brother Rick we just love providing vacation memories for families and friends!
Living on the chain of lakes for the last 8 years we have so much to offer for the first time visitor - let us know how we can be the perfect vacation concierge.

Why they chose this property
This is a perfect small neighborhood on a dead end street. Everyone on this street is here for the same reason, to enjoy all the water has to offer. It is not uncommon for all to gather at a firepit in the evening to share a beverage or roast some marshmallows!
What makes this property unique
We have 2 jet ski ramps and a great doc for boat parking. We do have the best view on the lake for sunsets hands down, with a fire pit right at the waters edge. Our property can provide for you all of the toys you may need for your water fun at a very low price from tubes to knee boards!
The large family room with game area is perfect for evening gathering. We have included many games for you to have hours of game playing fun.
Unlike many property rentals we are just minutes away so we can quickly meet any of your needs.
