Laura’s Little Cottage

First, I’d like to mention this is located in a QUIET neighborhood. I don't rent out for big, loud parties. If that's what you're looking for, this is not the place for you. I like to keep peace with the neighbors! Moving on. This little cottage is just minutes from several forest preserves, the Chain O’ Lakes, Great America or Wilmot Mountain. 30 minutes to Great Lakes Naval Base & less than an hour to Lake Geneva, Chicago or Milwaukee. Plenty of restaurants, & grocery stores. 30 day minimum

Superhost

Great cottage so close to the water you can fish right off the deck, bring your boat right up to the dock and drive it all over the chain of lakes and out to dinner. Endless things to do on the chain, tons of restaurants, sand bars, fishing, bars, boats, etc. Then, watch the sunset at the beach right outside your door before retreating for the night into the cottage.

A wooden deck extends over tranquil waters, featuring a dining table surrounded by several chairs. Adirondack chairs are positioned nearby, and lush greenery frames the scene, providing a serene outdoor space for relaxation and enjoyment.
