The space
Step foot into this 1960’s remodeled getaway and you will find yourself in your very own version of home away from home- vacation style. This was created to preserve some of the nostalgic 1960’s feels, while infusing some modern vibes.
First you will drive through Downtown McHenry, taking in all the shopping and dining views leading to your neighborhood getaway. Upon arrival at The Ace on the River you will be greeted by the large driveway. Once you're inside and unpacked, play some games, watch a movie, or simply relax.
After enjoying the outdoor atmosphere on the large deck or out on the docks, step back inside and craft a delicious dinner in the fully equipped kitchen. The large table with 12 chairs is the perfect spot for you and your group to both to relax, truly enjoy each other's company, and make ever-lasting memories.

Other things to note
• SECURITY SYSTEMS•
We have 24/7 audio and video recording surveillance cameras located on the EXTERIOR of the home facing the driveway, street, and docks. These are for insurance, safety and security of the property and viewed only when necessary. There’s also a video/audio doorbell for the same purpose. There’s a professionally monitored security system unit in the home as well. You will be given a code to use during your stay should you wish to turn the alarm on/off.
• SANITIZATION •
The getaway is professionally and properly sanitized and deep cleaned before your stay. This not only includes the inside but also the outdoor furniture. We want you to relax and have a peace of mind when enjoying the amenities.
• PETS ALLOWED •
Our home is able to accommodate one dog under 50 pounds with a paid fee. Although deeply cleaned, we cannot guarantee pet dander isn’t present for those with allergies. Approved dogs are NOT allowed on furniture and must be crated when left alone. A refundable security deposit will be collected through our property management software.
• NO SMOKING •
Please refrain from smoking in the home or nearby the home! Any smoking evidence will result in odor removal and additional cleaning fees.
• INSECTS •
While we do what we can to make the interior bug-free, being near the water often brings wildlife/insects nearby or inside.
• AIR CONDITIONING •
This home is equipped with wall/window air conditioning units. Each upstairs bedroom has its own window air conditioner to allow you to set the room to your level of comfort. The main level of the home has a wall air conditioning unit in the family room. Every bedroom is provided a fan as well. The main level bedroom has a portable air conditioning unit.
• RENTAL AGREEMENT & IDENTIFICATION •
Within 48 hours of an accepted booking request, our Property Management Software system will send you a Rental Agreement to sign. This must be signed and an ID must be shown in order for access to the property to be granted. A refundable (if no damages during stay) security deposit (minus fee w/Stripe or no fee with direct pay) will also be collected through this system. Failure to sign the Rental Agreement and send ID will result in a cancelled booking.
