We had a great stay at this property and all amenities were as indicated on the Vrbo listing. The host was easy to get in touch with and addressed our issues on a timely manner. The property is also very close to the Miller beach which was an added plus. It was convenient for our family and friends with kids of age range from 5-15 year olds.

Delightful home and gracious host! This property worked so well for our vacation with kids and grandkids. The beach umbrella, chairs, towels, and life jackets were an extra bonus.

Best Weekend Getaway

My family and I loved the space. There was ample room for the 9 of us. The only thing my family would suggest is that the area around the jacuzzi have better lighting for the nighttime and the ground was better paved. Other than that, the entire weekend was great.

Good location for day trips to Chicago

While it is a good size house, dining table only seats six and comfort of furniture could stand to be improved. The towels were poor and not enough, and there wasn’t enough kitchen dishes, glasses or silverware for 9 people.
