traveler reviews for this chain of lakes house rental

Absolutely Charming!

shellys898 (Plano, IL)
Review submitted: October 9, 2012   Date of arrival: October 5, 2012

I can not say enough about this charming home. It had everything you could think of AND more. We actually brought certain items from home, thinking we would need them, but the house is equipped with everything!

Even though the temps were quite chilly during our stay, we could not resist sitting on the deck and soaking up the sounds and amazing view. In addition to the wonderful scenery outside, the home was clean and spacious. The Norkus's certainly have a knack for decorating!

I would recommend this hidden catch to anyone. We are already planning our next visit!

6 out of 5 STARS!!!!

Kristin (Chicago, IL)
Review submitted: September 7, 2012   Date of arrival: August 23, 2012

An absolutely adorable “beach shabby chic” lake house, impeccably maintained, super spacious and the waterfront location can’t be beat. Steps away to a small but private sandy swimming beach. We had a fabulous girl getaway from the city! The Norkus family has thought of everything, and the house has just about anything you could need for your stay. I can’t say enough about what a gem this place is… highly recommended!!

Best vacation ever!

Ruth (West Chicago, IL USA)
Review submitted: June 1, 2012   Date of arrival: March 18, 2012

Lovely, very comfortable home with lake view, couldn't have been nicer.
Clean, very tastefully furnished, with all the convenieces. We spent some time relaxing, sitting at the lake and enjoying the peaceful setting. We also invited another couple to visit and found it was a great place to entertain friends.

We discovered that beautiful Lake Geneva, WI. is only about a half hour drive away so we had fun shopping and had lunch on a sightseeing cruise. The captain on the cruise pointed out the homes of the rich and famous as well as explained some history of the area. We also found some antique stores in nearby Richmond, IL.

All in all, we had a very nice vacation and hope to stay there again soon!
