Fantastic

Certainly not a place I’d like to see a lot of kids, but if you like historical properties with modern comfort this is a must. Beautiful views of the lake, mostly nestled away for privacy, and great sunrises and sunsets.

Great Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the Cypress Log Cabin for a week. The Cabin was super clean with everything we needed - from linens to beach towels, to a fully equipped kitchen. We had a party of ten people and the house was large enough for privacy when desired, but had lots of common gathering spots. Couldn't have asked for a better spot for our family reunion.

It is my dream cabin which made it fun to spend time with family and a few friends. Loved steam shower and jacuzzi tubs, access to beach, fire pit and saddle barstools. Could not figure out movie room projector but was able to use tv outside of movie room. Thank you for a great memory!❤️

Beautiful Lake Views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group had a fabulous stay at this beautifully renovated and well decorated historical cabin retreat!Whether we were sitting inside the warm and cozy sun room area sipping our morning coffee or sitting outside by the fire pit area with our wine, the views of the lake were magnificent! The grounds surrounding this very spacious cabin home are well kept and provide fun experiences from horseshoe games to just sitting peacefully in the tree chair swing enjoying the views. The Weber bbq grill was clean and big enough to allow us to cook an entire dinner for our group. We were just steps away from the beautiful beach and lakefront. Inside, there is a lower level that we enjoyed in the evenings. For starters, the movie theatre was amazing! We sat in comfortable movie theatre seats while watching our favorite movies. We also had fun playing the spectacular arcade games provided. Fun was had by all! There was even a huge wine cellar with a wine bottle ready for us to open! This historical cabin is very clean and roomy. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had plenty of space to work in and was well stocked with the essentials. When we had a few questions, the staff was just a phone call away and were very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this unique and very special experience to anyone who wants a close by get away from the Chicago area and craves some quality family time and natural beauty.
