Holiday rentals with a kayak in Illinois

We had a great weekend. Spacious and clean and we really enjoyed our time!

We had a great time celebrating our daughters graduation from college! It was nice to have a space large enough for our entire family together, to relax and enjoy the outdoor outdoors! George was a very responsive host and we thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit a couple of nights just sitting around and enjoying our time together!

Indoor pool was great! Travel size shampoo and conditioner were provided in all bathrooms, as well as plenty of towels. Nice house right on the lake!

me and my family had an amazing time felt super comfortable and cozy. pet friendly everything I needed was at hand and host was kind answered everything I needed instantly. Susan was clean and worth every penny.

This house is simply wonderful. It has the best beachy cottage summer vibes! The location is also great very private for being somewhat close to the city, and very close to Six Flags. We especially loved mornings on the deck and taking the kayaks out on the lake. Can't wait to stay again!

It was our first time to Galena. We were looking for a relaxing weekend getaway to celebrate our 20th. The house was exactly as described in a serene setting within Galena Territory. We enjoyed hiking, biking, and wineries all within a short drive, and then relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings. We didn't partake in any of the included amenities within Galena Territory, but noted it as a positive that we would take advantage of for future trips. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon!

Amazing place, stunning views, and incredible amenities. We’d give it 6 stars if we could. The early morning hot tub over looking the lake was so peaceful and relaxing. From billiards, to fishing, driving golf balls into the lake, and games galore, this place is fun for the whole family! The friendly and knowledgeable host provides a river themed stay and adventure that we will never forget.

Amazing host with amazing property. Extremely helpful and accommodating.

Kimberly's place is beautiful! The lake setting is peaceful and welcoming. The home has been wonderfully remodeled. All the furniture is comfortable and fits the beauty of the home! The kitchen has everything you need from spices to pots and pans as well as a few items for leftovers too! Beds were comfy. The deck was perfect to sit and have coffee on and watch the sunrise or a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the lake! We highly recommend Kim's place!

This was our second visit to Amanda’s and just like the first time, it left my boys with fun memories. We will be back next summer.

My daughter and son had to stay for a couple days while we got our floors done and they absolutely loved it. The vibes were amazing, the people were friendly, everything went wonderfully. Thank you for being such amazing hosts and I will of course recommend this place to anyone who needs a peaceful getaway.

Me and my friends loved our stay, the place was exactly what we were looking for in terms of our getaway. Steve was a great and friendly host he was very responsive and put together when it came to communication with us. Would definitely recommend and even come again.

Absolute perfect stay! Host even showed concern for us during stormy weather. The location is ideal - private, away from hustle and bustle yet still not far from food and essentials. Beds were very comfortable and the home had all the amenities you need for a successful airbnb stay. Will definitely stay again!

Beautiful little lakefront home, even when getting rained in the extension on the home installed on the basement made inside only days exceptionally fun

Loved this little cabin! It was clean and we felt right at home. Great communication from the host and she even let us hang out a bit after check out. This was huge because we got in after dark and were only staying one night. The kayaks were a hit with the kids!

Beautiful home. Nice and private, but close enough to everything we needed. The kayaks and lake were the best part for our kids!

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Lynda's cabin. It's right on Matanzas Beach, minutes from Havana. The pictures don't do it justice! The cabin felt much larger than expected. Lynda has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully stocked kitchen and BBQ grill. The views are gorgeous, and sitting on the deck or by the firepit during sunset is not to be missed. There are some great restaurants / bars in Havana, including Babe's, Stag Tap, Lulu's, and Riverside Grill. And of course Peaches for ice cream. Lynda was very helpful & checked on us to make sure we got in & had everything we needed. I would love to stay at the cabin again!

Inviting! Cute! Accommodating! Spotless! Husband, two puggles, and I visited for a long weekend, and we actually stayed an extra day because we loved it so much. Each morning we enjoyed our coffee on the deck. We spent the day hiking, visiting Ferne Clyffe, Bell Smith Springs, and Giant City. Lake access was just what we needed after a day of hiking. We jumped in the water from the dock, took out the paddle boat, and fished. Yes, the lake access is shared with host's other properties, but not only is everyone there to also chill, but we actually didn't overlap with anyone. In the evenings we sat on the deck again, sipping the local wines and observing nature. The deck sparkled with fairy lights. Hosts are so kind and friendly! A few "clutch" items: the silicon wine glasses for the lake; washer/dryer & detergent; firewood & firestarter; gas grill; coffee! Bluetooth speaker. The hosts thought of everything & are phenomenal. Thank you so much for an awesome getaway--we'll be back!

The cabin was just as described and equipped with all we could need! I really appreciated the cabin being dog-friendly, and they included even a stake for the dogs to run around on tethers while we were outside. The view was gorgeous and the cabin as cozy as could be - I'd go back in a heartbeat!

The cabin was awesome, and the setting was beautiful. Caught four bass within the first five minutes of fishing right off the shore behind the cabin. The basement and Deck space were great aswell.

We found this Lake Paradise cabin to be the perfect place to celebrate our 56th anniversary! Upscale, exceptionally clean, well furnished, quiet, comfortable, splendid nature viewing, especially views from the deck, robust wildlife, particularly the herons and turkey vultures. Loved the knotty pine! Idyllic location. We hope to be able to stay again.

We had a peaceful couple of days. Loved the paddleboards for exploring the lake(s).

Airbnb automatically confirmed our reservation before the host had approved it, and unfortunately, the home wasn’t available for all the dates we had booked.Thankfully, Mallory responded quickly and went above and beyond to help us find an alternative that was perfect for our family. Her responsiveness and customer service were truly top-notch!

Me and my family of 12 spent 4 nights in this beautiful home! There were two lakes, one out front and one in back. We did most of our fishing at the lake in the back on the pontoon. All together we caught a total of probably 40-50 fish a day. 1-2lbs bluegills and some pretty good sized bass. The power went out but the generator immediately kicked on. The house had everything my family needed and more! Tom, our host was very interactive and was able to help us with anything we needed. The sleeping in the loft, for the most part is completely open so not a whole lot of privacy with our big family. But the beds were comfortable and everything was pretty clean! For the house being in the middle of the woods the bugs weren’t too bad. There was always something to do! So many games, kayaks, paddle boats, and more. Take the time to eat at Skillet Fork Grill nearby!!! It was the best breakfast out i’ve ever had. My family LOVED this place and we’ll definitely be back for a longer stay!
