Emily's place has a lot to offer and my friends and I had a great time! We used the fire pit, hot tub, and canoe. The description of the place is accurate (even bigger than the pictures showed). It's close enough to walk to bars/restaurants/shops, when the weather is nice. I would stay here again!

It was awesome and Emily is so so nice, please stay here

Perfect getaway weekend night for a group of high school friends. Everyone was pleased.

Loved the location! Emily is s great host! Highly recommend her! The place is bigger than it looks, lots of lake toys to play with, grilled out on patio, used the hot tub. I texted her thru out our stay, she responded.

Emily was a wonderful and accommodating host. The pics do not do the place justice. It was comfortable and very cozy. My group kept the fire in the fireplace going while playing board games all weekend. Access to the frozen lake was also a lot of fun. Any amenities you could need are only minutes away including a chopped wood seller across the street.

Emily was a great host and very responsive! She provided complimentary breakfast, and extra towels. Would highly recommend if you need a place for a small reunion.

The home is beautiful. Beautiful view of a very nice lake. Close tometra stationifyou want to go downtown. The town of Grayslake is very cute too. We had a small family reunion and everyone had a good time. Emily was easy to reach and helpful. thankyou.

Awesome place! Many things to do and she supplies almost everything for you to enjoy your time. had 8 people and we all stayed very comfortably

Great location and GREAT hosts!!

The host made me feel very welcome. Kathy is very obliging and assisted me in many ways to make my stay comfortable. The neighborhood is very safe and the pictures depict the place accurately. The additional services provided by Kathy such as pick up from the airport is such a big help.

Kathy and her family were gracious hosts throughout my stay. The check-in process was easy. Kathy had delicious homemade bread for breakfast in the morning. The room itself is in a finished basement. Kathy provided an electric heater as the finished basement is chilly. The electric heater was perfect- no complaints of being too cold during the night. The room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable! I would stay here again!

MY stay in this house was almost perfect... Denis was really kind and generous person. If I have chance to come this area again, there will be no hesitation to choose this house for accomodation.

Kathy and Dennis are super nice. I stayed downstairs - great little room in a huge basement. I would definitely stay again.

The dog is loud (but friendly), and parking is limited, no streetside overnight parking (town ordinance). Kathy and Dennis are very nice and helpful. Convenient to travel to nearby shopping and restaurants. House is very clean and comfortable.

First I want to start off by saying what a beautiful home Kathy has. They are very accommodating, extremely generous, and more than amazing hosts. They're very respectful of you and are there to serve you to the most of their ability. You'll feel at home here with the luxury of a lavish lifestyle. I definitely recommend this place. They are 5 star hosts.

This was absolutely the most amazing Airbnb experience my fiancée and I have ever had. The hospitality was way above and beyond. They made sure that we had everything that we needed and even drove us to the nearest Metra station and picked us up from there as well. A very loving family that cares about their visitors and enjoys having visitors in general. Lucky (their dog) was very sweet and loving. Will definitely come back again when in Chicago. Thank you so much!

Peter was a good host and his communication was great. We visited before Peter had actually moved into his home, so there as small room for improvement here and there (no cable/wifi but host said it will be for future guests), but overall it was a great stay. Peter did his best in providing us with everything we needed, and we had no major problems. Great value for a good stay in the area.

Close to Half Day Brewing and a pletrhora of restaurants and shopping

Very nice place with the most comfortable bed. Carrie made us a delicious breakfast while chatting with us. The whole experience was relaxing; I felt like I was visiting with a friend.

Wonderful hosts and a wonderful place to stay. Plan on staying again !

Wonderful hosts and outstanding accommodations, right down to the small touches. Highly recommended, and I will stay again as my work takes me to Chicago.

Carrie is a great host and so accommodating. The place is spotless, safe, comfortable and convenient to everything. You will not be disappointed!

Not only was the home beautiful and relaxing, Asmah was an excellent host who left detailed instructions on how to get the most out of my stay.

What a great stay! The house and host are fantastic with excellent communication. Beautiful neighborhood. The home is clean, comfortable and very well appointed. We were so pleased with our stay.

Great place for a family reunion. Beautiful surroundings with good acess to restaurants, grocery store etc.

We stayed over this place to celebrate our sons first birthday. Amazingly welcoming home set in a beautiful neighborhood. Definetely recommend to families to like to relax and enjoy a weekend :)

Emily is a pretty awesome host. Even with an ankle injury she did make her house feel like home. If I had to go back I will. Ever in the area stay here. Nice view to the water.

Emily was a great host. Very polite, personable, friendly, and hospitable, and she went above and beyond as I was having some car trouble the morning after my stay. Thanks Emily

I found this to be a peaceful, private retreat. Emily was easy to communicate with and very responsive to all of my questions and needs. Would definitely stay here again.

️️️️️ It's all I can say Very satisfied

Cozy room with plenty of pillows and bedding. The place was comfortable, clean, and quiet at night. Not too far from many restaurants and a playground in the neighborhood community!

Kathy and her husband were incredibly polite and accommodating. Location is excellent, neighborhood is quiet, and their dog is wonderfully soft and friendly. The room was impeccable and the private bathroom was unexpected luxury. Clean linens were provided and Kathy makes a mean cranberry muffin. This is our first experience with Airbnb and we highly recommend Kathy as a host.

Kathy and Dennis were great hosts. I loved my stay at their place. It is a beautiful house and I had my privacy & peace. The room was spacious and quite comfortable. I was also able use laptop (for work and gaming) since my room had a good size desk and high speed wifi. The location is also very convenient and has lot of good restaurants near by. I would surely stay at their place again if needed and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Perfect spot for a quiet weekend away! My room was extremely comfortable, everything was clean and fresh, and I felt at home instantly. Kathy is very welcoming, and any questions I had were responded to immediately. I appreciated how helpful and kind Kathy was, and enjoyed staying here!

These guys are awesome! Super friendly and will cater to any issue you may have. Very approachable and accommodating too

Everything was the same as advertised......the neighborhood was excellent and the Kathy was very pleasant. Thank you very much for welcoming me into your home

Denis and Kathy are great. We enjoyed our stay. Their house is beautiful and clean, felt like home. We are warmly welcomed. Denis is really good at cooking. He also drove us to the train station in the morning and pick us up at night. He even got up at 5:30am because of our early flight. I would like to visit them again when I come back to Chicago.

Kathy and Denis are perfect hosts! The room is really clean, beautiful. Kathy and Denis are really nice and considerate, they also prepared some snacks for me. I enjoyed my stay here and I would like to come back if I have chance.

Very nice room and really clean. Very nice accomodations.

The host canceled this reservation 25 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A beautiful condo in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and comfortable. Worth the stay!!!

Nice quiet place to stay while working in the northern suburbs of Chicago.

Dennis and Kathy are great hosts! I very much enjoyed my stay, not only was the room very beautiful and the shared living room a lovely place to meet and spend time, it was also so enjoyable to talk with Dennis and Kathy, who are very sympathetic persons!

Kathy & Denis welcomed us into their home with open arms. They were very accommodating to our busy schedule while visiting the Chicago area and I highly recommend staying with them if you plan on visiting. Their house is kept very clean and the neighborhood made us feel safe & secure. We will for sure return in the future!

Kathy & Dennis got to be the nicest people on earth. They responded quickly to all my needs. The location is quiet but convenient, the house is super clean, my room comes with private bath, the bed is very comfortable. Would stay again if needed. The dog is very cute and friendly.

On a business trip and had a great one night stay at Kathy and Dennis's home. Their house is beautiful, the bed is very comfortable, and the home is spotlessly clean. Had a nice conversation with them about future travels. They will be a preferred spot for when I travel back to Chicago.

Kathy and Dennis were absolutely phenomenal hosts. They made sure I had everything I needed. Beautiful home, most comfy bed that I've ever slept in (that's not an exaggeration). Very safe and quiet neighborhood. I recommended this location to coworkers.

Kathy and Denis were wonderful hosts! Very friendly and welcoming and treated us as friends I have known for a long time! They were happy to answer any questions we had. The only regret I have was that I didn't get to talk with them more

I went to Chicago for a wedding in Highland park country club, and I'm so happy I decided to stay with Kathy! The room was beautiful and the bed was super comfy! The neighborhood is lovely and safe. Kathy and Denis are really friendly and make us feel like home! I'll definitely recommend this place to anyone!! :)

Kathy And Dennis were perfect hosts. The accommodations were very clean and spacious. It was our first air bnb experience and without hesitation I can say we will be back when visiting our daughter in the chicago area!

My stay in Vernon Hills was very nice. My host family presented a spotless, beautiful home and was very warm and inviting. I recommend it highly.

Denis and Kathy were amazing hosts and have an amazing house to stay in as well! Denis was so helpful in helping us figure out directions to anywhere we needed to go in the local area as well as being very interesting to talk to about many things in life! Kathy made very healthy homemade bread and was very kind and helpful for any little thing. They have a very kind daughter Tina and an inquisitive dog Lucky as well! Perfect hosts! The house was perfect, almost like staying in a mansion. The interior design was brilliant and had some nice art. It was spacious and a really nice place to stay for the 3 days we were there! Best place we've stayed at so far although there are many nice places I'm sure! Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed and you will want to come back again as others have!

Kathy was out of town when I stayed here, but her husband Denis and daughter Tina were a delight. I had some great conversations with Denis and he was very helpful with directing me where to go to enjoy the area. A warm and inviting stay north of Chicago.

Kathy & Dennis are wonderful hosts. Their house is beautiful, comfortable and in a very safe and secure area. They have done everything to make us feel welcome and help us enjoy our stay. They even provided us with local restaurants. We really enjoyed chatting with them and look forward to staying there again next time we're in the area.

Excellent

Dennis and Kathy welcomed me into their home. The room was clean and had everything a business traveler needs for a quick stay. I loved it so much that I stayed an extra day.

Kathy and Dennis are wonderful host! This was my first time staying with Airbnb so I was a bit nervous but they quickly made everything feel just like home! The experience I had with them was irreplaceable and I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone who was looking to stay in Chicago! Thank you guys for the great hospitality and banana bread. Hope to see you guys soon!

Her house is very clean and quiet. And she was very kind.I won't forget the map she painted. The shower is large, clean, and secure. The house is in a very safe place. However, if you do not like dogs, I will not recommend the house. Thank you. Let's meet again sometime.

My boyfriend and I stumbled across this charming cottage on airbnb and I am so thankful that we did! Amanda's property was so unbelievably charming. We walked into our cottage and it smelled of fresh linens and lavender. Each cottage was so unique and Amanda was an incredible host. We loved having our own grill, fire pit, beach, local coffee, kayaks, fresh flowers in our room and the list goes on. We will definitely be coming back. We feel so refreshed and content with our stay. I also want to say how amazing it was to see that Amanda is restoring her original family lake resort. Cypress has so much history and love poured into it, and you definitely feel that when you are there. Thank you for everything, Amanda!

Amanda is a phenomenal host; this was one of the best airbnb experiences I've ever had. Could not recommend more highly.

We had a great time at the lake cottage. There are grills for cooking, a fire pit, and a nice beach front to walk down to. Amanda was very responsive when we needed anything. We look forward to staying here again!

Amanda greeted us as we pulled into her resort lakeside. She took the time to show us our cabin as well as all of the other ones and a review of the resort. She went above and beyond all weekend to attend to our every need. Her cabin was exactly as she describes. It was the perfect romantic weekend getaway. She showed us all the amenities available for us to use. We look forward to our return back at Amanda's resort! Highly recommended, she's the perfect host !

We had such a great stay, thank you so much to our host Amanda who was incredibly nice and welcoming. This was my girst airbnb trip. I was desperate to find something fun to do for my birthday but it was on a monday so nowhere looked good. My friend mentioned airbnb so I checked it out and stumbled upon this spot. I am SO happy I did. Amanda had kayaks that we used for an incredible tour around the lakes. The beach is stunning and quiet, she even had a fire pit too. The cottages are super cute and clean. The decor is minimal and beautiful. The people staying in the other cabins were really nice too and we all ended up spending the last night by a fire together chatting about how wonderful our stays were. We will absolutely be back, what a great great birthday! Thank you Amanda!!

My husband and I escaped here for two days on our mini-moon. We couldn't ask for a more laid back, tranquil spot. If we weren't so exhausted, we would've loved to hang with host Amanda more than we had the chance to!

The space is just wonderful and Amanda is very welcoming. The cottage was nice and cozy. Very comfortable and the ability to walk down to the lake was a plus. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a great experience.

Amanda is the best! She is wonderful, and her cabins reflect that in not only their charm but also in how much she cares about the property. This cottage was perfectly cozy and had everything we wanted & more. We were lucky enough to get the full tour of the resort and can't wait to come back and check out the other cabins she has available.

Everything as seen on photos. Great host, wonderful family! Large basement, top of the line king bed. Highly recommend!

Very friendly. Good communication

Great neighborhood, great host, great puppy dog, very spacious (entire finished basement). This was my first stay using airbnb. It was a very pleasant experience. I definitely recommend Ron.

Ron, Again, I want to thank you for opening up your home to me. It was another great stay for me.

Ron was a great host. Very nice, hospitable, made sure my stay was comfortable. (Great communication.) The basement bedroom is ideal for a good night's sleep: good AC, quiet, and no windows make sleeping in easy (it stays dark). When you want light, it has ample indoor lighting. The location is nice, too. Not highly developed -- so you can appreciate a bit of countryside. But also close enough to some development that it's easy to get food or other necessary items. And his dog is adorable.

I had a fine stay at Ron's place. No problems with the common areas. I had a large room to my self in the carpeted basement. The lack of windows let me sleep in longer which I liked. Shared bathrooms are up the stairs. I would stay at Ron's again in the future.

good

Ron was a great host. The basement where we stayed was cool, carpet was nice, and beds were soft. We also enjoyed his little fluffy dog to! We would recommend to anyone.
