We LOVE staying at the Pea Pod. It's proximity to the lake and to the Wisp mountain is ideal. The managers include lots of little amenities to make your stay more enjoyable and easy. We especially like that it's CLEAN. Thank you for allowing us to stay there year after year every summer!

Location was beautiful, loved the porch and grill outside. Best communication experience. Immaculate. Much effort put forth for families to enjoy their stay. Games, advice, 3 br, 2 bath was great. Felt guilty running dishwasher 1/2 full but needed to for clean plates (we were party of 6). Consider adding more lg. plates and perhaps pitcher for iced tea? Absolutely loved every minute of being there!

Convenience and comfort

The house was clean and comfortable. The porch was nice. Window units worked but didn't really need them. It was near the lacrosse tournament we attended and the grocery store. I liked the Roku TV, the kitchen and living room furniture.

Perfect name - The pea pod

The pea pod is a charming little house that was perfect for the 4 of us to spend time together. Donna and Carlos (hosts) were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The house was very clean, close to many activities and right across from the lake.

The Pea Pod delivered again this summer. Everything works well and it fits our needs perfectly. They do a great job of stocking things nicely that you might need and the little touches that make a stay more comfortable. Highly recommend for a family that wants quick access to DCL.

Perfect Getaway Home

The Peapod was perfect for us. It was roomy, sunny, and pleasant, with an ideal layout. The front porch was amazing—large and with a nice view. We met owner Carlos who was gracious and friendly. Because it was a slow season, Carlos kindly offered us things that might not be available during busy season such as extra parking and gas grill. I would highly recommend this home.

Peapod is great!

We're a family of 4 adults, and the Peapod was the perfect size for us -- the right number of beds/baths, a kitchen that easily seats 4, and a cozy living space where we could read, play games, watch movies, or chat. The house was clean and well maintained, and there were nice "welcome extras" left for us. The location is fantastic -- across the street from the lake and very close to shops/restaurants. We'll definitely return!

Great Rime at the Pea Pod

My husband and I rented the Pea Pond in order to visit with our Pennsylvania family who rent and own homes in the McHenry area. Not only is the home extremely clean but it is also very accommodating to travelers away from home. From the kitchen equipment to the towels and comfort of the home we were "at home." Many of our family members visited and were very impressed with the lay-out and comfort of the home. The only negative is that their is no central air. However, the window units in the bedrooms made sleeping very comfortable . Also the owner has many fans available throughout the home which adds additional comfort in other areas of the home. Give it a try. It won't disappoint!

So close to Wisp AND lakeview

Amazing to have breakfast and apres ski with lake view and so much quiet. Day 1 we walked to Wisp for skiing, and so easy for the grannies to get in to pick us up in the evening. We thought about leaving skis in the car, but why would we when there is an actual rack off the driveway for the skis :)? Deer out the back window, and we knew the snow tubing was up there but we didn't see or hear it, and the tubers couldn't see us. Plenty of space for a couple, a couple of grannies, and a tween. Well-appointed kitchen (regular coffee maker AND a Keurig!, not one but two Pyrex measuring cups to heat our coffee, more than 1 set of coffee cups, baking sheets, supplies, everything) and still space for our food and snacks. We all enjoyed ourselves very much!
