Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Twin Lakes

The house had plenty of room for my family of 10. We truly appreciated all of the extra things to do at the house. The pool table/ping pong table was a hit for the young adults. The fact that they had enough kayaks that the young adults could go out in a group was a huge plus. The only negative I would say is the amount of lily pads in front of the house didn’t allow for swimming off the dock or fishing. Obviously this is not the fault of the owner so we made the best of it.

Tucked along the quiet northern edge of Antioch, this house doesn’t just offer a place to stay - it gives you something to feel. Vaulted ceilings, custom barnwood beds, and raw concrete countertops set the tone: warm, solid, and built with intent. The private beach isn’t flashy - it’s better. Soft sand, still water, and no reason to rush. Grill outside, gather at the big family-style table, then sweat it all out in the sauna that feels like it was made to erase stress. The beds hit the sweet spot between firm and forgiving. Every corner of the place feels curated without being pretentious. Jewel is just up the road if you need supplies, but you’ll quickly forget the outside world exists. And Waylon? The kind of host you rarely get - quick to respond, genuinely helpful, and fully dialed in without hovering. This isn’t just a weekend rental - it’s the kind of place that makes you rethink how you spend your time off. You’ll leave better than you arrived.

Plenty of room to eat and hang out for bigger families. Great basement with games and toys for kids-adults. Well stocked for cooking at home. Comfortable beds and multiple bathrooms very convenient for groups.

Our group of 6 ladies was perfectly accommodated in this house. The seating area in the living room (with amazing soffit lighting) was perfect for our evening hangouts. We worked out the beds to meet our needs - because we had great options! We had plenty of off-street parking and figured out the street parking. Street parking was fine after we understood the rotation. Comfortable clean furniture, good lighting, access to electrical outlets, were all great! Lovely house that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Thank you for the opportunity to stay there for our Christmas with my kids!!

Great place would stay again.

Wonderful home for a big family or group! Lots to do (if you’re not already busy!). The home has everything you need to rest, relax, and make killer meals. Madison is a quick 30 minute drive away as well. Highly recommend.

This was a perfect spot for us. Kitchen had all the things we needed to cook meals, comfortable beds and couch, quick 15 minute drive to Northwestern, having garage access was a real plus!, and great access to parks and walkable neighborhood!

Wonderful stay with comfortable beds, great communication, Tea/coffee for the morning, new everything, and really clean. We appreciated Ben's responsiveness and that he went above and beyond to accommodate us for our 3 night stay. It is right near the U of W - Whitewater but quiet in the apartment. There was only some noise at night upstairs one of the nights. However, a quick text to Ben and he worked with them to get it quiet again. SO appreciated this stay and Ben's hosting skills! THANK YOU!

This apartment in Skokie worked out great for 3 of us visiting family in the area. It was very convenient - short walk to 2 grocery stores and transit. The kitchen was well equipped with very nice appliances and plenty of dishes and pots & pans. Andy & Maral were very friendly and always very responsive.

I enjoyed my stay at Letitia's place. I was traveling between the city and northern burbs, and Letitia's place provided a nice centralized location with easy access to both. Letitia's place is clean, charming, and comfortable. Letitia responded quickly to any questions. I recommend this as a comfortable place to explore the greater Chicagoland area.

I stayed here because my husband graduated from the navy and it was the best decision I ever made! Everything was near by! The base is extremely close ! It made everything so much easier. If you’re visiting for the navel graduation, I 100% recommend this Airbnb ! Plus Hugo was just so responsive with any questions I had.

This was our first experience using a B&B and it was wonderful!!! Our accommodations were amazing and decorated very nicely! We were supplied with anything we could possibly have needed! The mattress was perfect, the front room was big (as was the tv) and there was access to quite a few channels to pick from. The only down side was it was on the third floor, but honestly, as the week went on, it was less of a bother. All in all, it was a great experience and would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed staying here. We had lots of privacy, the unit was extremely clean and comfortable. Don was an excellent communicator and very kind. Highly recommend.

The place was exactly as shown and described. Very lovely in a very peaceful part of town. Responses to questions were always prompt and clear. One of the best. Thank you for the pleasant stay.

Craig was extremely nice and accommodating when it came to my birthday weekend. He responds quickly to all questions asked and makes sure we’re comfortable at all times. This home was clean, accurately described, and had the perfect “home feeling”. Overall, when visiting the area I will be booking here again !

Great stay and a fun little eclectic condo!

Absolutely perfect! Great location. Everything is within 5 minutes. The host Nicholas was super responsive. I love the guide included that recommended restaurants and things to do. Also, the Great Eggs Bistro located directly across the hall from our suite was amazing!

Joan's daughter, Rebekah, communicated directly with me through the Airbnb app. She provided detailed check-in instructions, a phone number to contact her, etc. It seems Rebekah lives in Hawaii so please keep note of that for response times, etc. The house was comfortable, very clean, and well-appointed. Joan and Rebekah have a beautiful collection of original art, artifacts, etc. so please keep that in mind if you are bringing small children to the home. Please note that the 1st floor bedroom has a king bed and full bathroom; and the lower level has 2 twin beds in the open area, 1 full bed and 1 twin bed in the first bedroom, and 1 full bed and 1 futon in the second bedroom (including a full laundry and utility room in a closed room).

"5-star stay! Clean, convenient, and great value. Would book again!"

We loved our stay at this beautiful location. It was close by to everything we wanted to do and the condo was exactly what we were hoping for! Rachel gave great recommendations and was so responsive to our questions. We will definitely stay here again!

Really nice place, to have you and your family stay at for a couple of days or even a week ! a lot of good restaurants close by and area is safe would definitely come back if i travel to Chicago again

Lovely space! Very clean, Comfy bed, beautiful views of the lake, even better than the photos, nice private location. We did not have a chance to check out the amenities, like the hot tub and pool at the near by resort but will definitely stay again to check it out!

If your looking for a great place with amazing hosts you can stop here. You have found it. The unit was better than expected. It was very clear to me that the hosts cared for their unit. It was very clear to me that the hosts cared for their guests as well. All the touches you would want in 5 Star / 5 Diamond unit was done. Location was great. Parking was breeze. For some wanting security, this unit was behind gated parking and 1 security door then unit front door. I would also think this was great place if needed for long term. I am from Arizona, so that long term is not for me!, but I would recommend for any long term or corporate, relocation type guest.
