Waterfront w/Lake Views, walk to the beach!

RebeccaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved the house! All the little thoughtful things were so nice: a case of water- all the coffee stuff- and even the welcome message when we walked in. The manager was a couple doors away and was so sweet and friendly. We will stay in the house again when we have another family event in Kenosha again.

Comfortable Cabin on Lake and 20 min from Ski Hill

TracyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We spent the weekend here and really enjoyed our time. It was an extremely hot weekend so we spent a lot of time cooling off in the lake. The cabin was clean and the kids had fun playing games in the basement once it got dark out.

The Blue House ~ Spacious & Near Naval Academy

AshleyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We were in town for our sons’ Navy Boot Camp Graduation and our other Airbnb did not work out. Kevin was a lifesaver! He even let us check in early, which really helped us out. The place was clean, spacious, lots of hang out space with cozy couches and comfortable beds. It had everything we needed and Kevin was very responsive and friendly! It was only 15 minutes from the Navy Base, so great location for us. We would definitely stay there again! Thank you Kevin!

Jeffery was so helpful and friendly. The back yard of this house is so beautiful and accommodating for relaxing. The master bedroom is very comfortable as is the master bed. Jeffery was so responsive even when he was on vacation. I made a mistake on my booking and he was very understanding and worked it out! We had a great time and the house was lovely!

I had a truly wonderful stay at this place ! The space was exactly as described—clean, stylish, and very comfortable.

On the Fox River Front/Sauna/Hot Tub/Kayaks/Grills

SanjayRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Phenomenal house. My group of 12 was able to stay in both units of the house and it was a ton of space. Everything was extremely clean with modern finishes, comfy beds. The house was fully stocked with everything one would need including beach towels, kitchen equipment, firewood. There were even amenities added after we booked including in a sauna in the backyard. The backyard is the best part with a huge dining table new and spacious grill setup, large fire pit area, hot tub, and sauna. The surrounding area was beautiful and highly recommend 3 oaks recreation area for a beach, water obstacle course, and beach volleyball. Can not recommend this place enough.

Private 3rd Floor Apartment

RickRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very comfy apartment in a great neighborhood. We were in town for a baseball game and it’s a terrific place for that, just about a 20-minute walk to Wrigley Field. The only thing to be concerned about is the stairs: there are two flights to get into the apartment and they’re fairly steep and small, so if you have mobility issues that would be a concern. I don’t and had no problem. Karen is a lovely host and was very helpful when I was getting into the place and unloading my stuff from my car. There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops in the area, so it’s a great place to explore and hang out.

Lago Amore - Channel house, pier, kayaks

GregoryRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wish we had time to book a longer stay! Regardless, it was a perfect place for my son and I to stay and do some kayaking and fishing on Paddock Lake. The deck was really a nice touch with the cafe lights. It was really nice to have access to a dock to launch our kayaks and fish from.

#1 Old Lake House at Cypress Resort & Marine

NallelyRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Amanda is the best host I’ve ever had, she is so friendly and responsive. Her kitchen was fully equipped, she gave us the option of having firewood delivered, the place is absolutely beautiful, you walk down some stairs to get to the beach. A group of 8 moms went there for a weekend getaway and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

House in the Park- 5 Min from O'Hare.

Paige Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
The hosts were incredibly nice! They truly did care about our stay. My stay consisted of recovering from a surgery. They went above and beyond to make sure I was safe and cared for! I got to enjoy the home and my husband got to go across the street to the beautiful park to fish. The questions we did have received quick responses every time. Next time we are in the area, we will be going back!

Amazing Location! Spacious Duplex Getaway

LydiaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Craig was very responsive both before our booking and upon our arrival. The place was beautiful and spotless; it looked and felt like a hotel but was also very homey. We enjoyed the lovely place and the town and the convenience of getting to local areas and going to Chicago. The house came with nice supplies in the bathrooms and nice quality linens, kitchen cookware, etc. The ping pong table was a nice addition. Definitely will stay again.

Cozy Lakeside Getaway!

TeresaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had 6 adults and a toddler in our party, and all of us were very pleased with the house and the yard. Everything within the house was perfect, and outside was beautiful! We all noticed that everything we needed was provided (including toys for the toddler!), and the wildlife outside, especially the variety of birds, was a bonus. We were in town for a family reunion that was held less than 10 minutes away, so the location was ideal!

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Cheri was very responsive and accommodated us at the last minute when we had a change in our plans. Our family felt right at home at her very cozy place. Her kitchen is well stocked and there are plenty of extra blankets and pillows. The shower has great pressure and gets plenty hot. Overall it is a great place to stay.

Spectacular Lake Michigan views

PriscillaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Annette’s place was amazing! This was our first trip to Kenosha and it was beautiful. The house was easy to find and check in was easy. The house was immaculate. Everything was very clean and well maintained. It was nice having bedroom and living space on all three floors, so our group was able to spread out with plenty of room. The view of the water from the two upper decks was beautiful! Annette had everything we needed. The kitchen, baths, and laundry were very well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. We felt right at home. The house had easy access to the lake and the beach area was just a few blocks down the road. We enjoyed walking to the lighthouse on the pier and having meals in downtown Kenosha. If we are ever back in Milwaukee, I would love to stay here again!

This was our second visit to Efren's place, and it was just as delightful as the first. A beautiful home with nice amenities in a great neighborhood. We had one small request (fresh batteries for the remote) and response was immediate. Thanks, Efren!

Lakefront,Gazebo,P.Boat:40%AirB&B Fee Reimb

MichelleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My son was graduating from the Navy Boot camp. I was going to stay in a Suite hotel but my son preferred the Airbnb for the internet and the extra space. And being in spaces with large groups for the past 2 and a half months, he really wanted that. Her place was only 20 minutes from the base so my son and I could get a ride share with ease. I had a couple of concerns when checking in but Lettie did not only respond quickly she sent someone to help and they were sooooo very nice. I'm from the South where hospitality is at the forefront of our culture and they definitely surpassed the bar. My son is going to continue his training in the Great Lakes so I will definitely forgo the hotel and look for this location first.
