Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Lake County

We had an incredible time at Mark’s place! The photos definitely matched the actual house and from the moment you walk in you feel right at home. Mark had provided all of the mentioned amenities and then some, and provided personal touches and local recommendations. We visited in the off season, and are hopeful to return in the summer to take more advantage of the outdoor activities around. Definitely recommend!!

Awesome house to stay at while we were visiting my niece on her Navy Liberty weekend. Guillermo went above and beyond to offer an early check-in, put up a military banner and buy her/us pizza for her service!! We could not ask for anymore!! Thank you, we will definitely stay here again if we get back to the area!! 😀

Cherri’s home was the perfect place to stay while visiting for my son’s Navy graduation. From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming environment made us feel right at home. It was such a comfort to be able to cook a few homemade meals for my son, providing him with a safe and cozy haven that reminded us of being back in Florida. Given the extremely cold and windy weather during our visit, the home’s thoughtful amenities were a blessing. There were plenty of warm blankets, a fireplace, and even heated blankets to keep us comfortable. My favorite feature was the outdoor bedroom—despite the chill, it was incredibly cozy with multiple layers of heat provided. During the day, it became my peaceful retreat, offering a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the tranquility of nature. Cherri’s home truly exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to stay here again in the future, whether for another special occasion or just a visit to the area.

Mahalo for hosting our family while we celebrated our son graduating from Navy bootcamp! It was such a pleasure staying at your gorgeous lake front home. My heart is so full! As a mother there is no better feeling than bring my boy home to make him a home cooked dinner. We had a blast exploring the city the next day with the whole family. Highly recommend this home for any future Navy families. Make time to enjoy the library, lots of amazing books with a real wood burning fire. Your home was very clean, kitchen was stocked with essentials and atmosphere was relaxing! Keep your eyes peeled for the otters!

We enjoyed Tawny's home. I am very picky about cleanliness and feel uncomfortable in an Airbnb with unkept bathrooms...we all have seen it. This place was spotless. The beds were comfortable & linens were clean and cozy. And the showers and bathrooms had no "yuck" in the cracks and crevices! The home is very spacious and comfortable. The gym was nice. We did not use outside amenities or the very nice porch, the weather just wasn't accommodating. We were there to just hang out and relax. The house is very close to all services and stores. Dining is close whether going out or delivery. The home has everything you need, it is cozy, spacious, has a very well kept & equipped kitchen; and again, it is CLEAN! One suggestion, maybe a pullout wall mirror in a bathroom. For up close makeup application so don't have to lean over sink, for short people like me. I would say overall, this was one of the cleanest Airbnb I have rented. Was a wonderful stay & Def. Would Recommend for any occasion!

I loved my stay!!! I would totally stay here again. The host was really helpful she was right there and would respond fast. The place was really beautiful and clean.!!

If you want to have as fun of a family vacation as we did, stay at the Coop! Especially if you have a Sailor graduating from boot camp! Close proximity to the necessities and base and not too far from Chicago if you want that experience. The space was adorably decorated with all the chicken decor you could ask for, but wasn’t cramped or cluttered. One of my favorite stays!

The stay was really great they had a variety of options in the kitchen to cook with both AC and Heating worked nicely. The bathroom was nice and neat. Had a first aid kit, trash bags, paper towels and many towels along with toilet paper provided. The place had 4 beds including the couch bed and they were very comfortable. The host was really nice and always telling me to tell her if we needed anything through our stay.

Great work out facility and pool still needs some work but depending on your length of stay and needs it worked well for me

A great location of you have a loved one graduating from The Great Lakes. Easy access to the base and a charming area to stay.

The apartment had everything we needed. It was walkable to restaurants, had everything we needed to cook, had a very thorough binder with local suggestions. The apartment was cute and comfortable. Two things stood out to me that are very important when I stay at an air Bnb - it didn’t smell like fragrances or chemicals and the beds (and couch) were comfortable. After checking out I thought I had left something in the apartment and sharon was very responsive and helpful.

We love Sharon’s place. We are repeat visitors and we’ll definitely pick Sharon’s place the next time we’re in the area. The bungalow is super comfortable, pristine and has so many nice amenities. Sharon is a wonderful host and she went out of her way to make our stay feel like home. I would highly recommend Sharon’s place when you’re visiting Libertyville.

Thank you again for such an amazing stay! Your home was comfortable, had many beds, and lots of space...everything my family and I could have asked for. We were in town for our daughter's Naval graduation from bootcamp. The naval base as well as the grocery stores, restaurants, etc were easily accessible. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, and felt safe. Our stay was well worth the price and we plan on visiting again in the near future.

Feb 26 - Mar 1 We were very grateful for David for approving our last minute reservation for the wonderful home. We flew to Chicago for my youngest brother’s Navy Graduation and what awaited us was the most pleasant experience and coziest warm home. Everything from the communication to experiencing the actual place is spot on. We would love to spend another trip to that same place when we come back for my second brother’s graduation. We highly recommend this place 10/10. Thank you again for David for hosting me and my family.

We really enjoyed our weekend at the Chain O’ Lakes Beach Penthouse and would definitely recommend it! The lake view from the large upper deck was stunning—sunsets over the water were a real highlight. The space was clean, matched the listing, and had everything we needed for cooking and relaxing. There was even plenty of propane for the grill and fire table, which made hanging out in the evening really enjoyable. Even though the unit is above a beach bar, it wasn’t a problem. The music added a fun energy without being disruptive, and the vibe downstairs actually made the place feel lively in a good way. The neighborhood itself was quiet and welcoming, and even the neighbors were friendly. We appreciated the little touches like board and card games, and communication with the host was smooth—quick responses and easy check-in made everything simple. This place is great if you're looking for a relaxing lakeside getaway with a social atmosphere nearby. We'd happily stay again!

We really enjoyed staying at Amanda's place! It was quiet and the view of the water was really gorgeous. Amanda was very response and kind. The place was clean and as pictured. The environment was also very safe and friendly. We would definitely stay there again!

The place was beautiful the architecture was amazing. The place was cozy felt right at home. The indoor fireplace was great and the big screen tv was a plus. Highly recommend. The owner was very nice even let us have a late check out with no extra cost.

Had a lovely stay at the home, bright and airy, perfect for a relaxing get away.

Will definitely be recommending to any family or friends that want a waterfront getaway! Robyn and Tim were fantastic hosts and welcoming from the very second we stepped out of the car. The location of the property makes you feel secluded but also part of the lake life experience of the "Chain" all at the same time. Friends nearby had no trouble picking us up from the private pier for a boat ride, and Robyn also offered up use of the kayaks right away. The only thing I would change was how much time we were able to stay at the cabins and utilize the fire pit/beach/deck/etc. Need a stay in the future!

Hosts were very nice, they did a special thing for Valentine’s Day that I asked for (actually, they did more then I was expecting!). Communication was very good and they were very attentive to everything. I love it and I’m definitely going back on summer!

The place is amazing. It was just what we needed for a weekend getaway. Looking forward to coming back next time.

Tim & Robin's place was wonderful! The cottage (#1) was exactly like the pictures and was very clean. Tim & Robin live on-site and we were greeted upon arrival. Through the weekend we had several passing conversations that were very pleasant. They had lots of solid recommendations and made sure we were comfortable. The property itself was simply dreamy! There was a nice beach area as well as an elevated deck overlooking the lake. We would definitely recommend renting here and plan on returning at some point in the future.

I stayed in the cottage for a month, and it was comfortable and the community had everything I needed.
