Kid-friendly holiday rentals in McHenry County

The hosts were so accommodating. We were on such a timed agenda because of what we needed the house for they were willing to accommodate every single necessity that we needed and on top of it. The retro feel of the house was fantastic, and everything was easy to find, and so peaceful and quiet. Planning a trip back in September. Can’t wait for my friends From out the country to see this place. Super fun!!!

I had an incredible stay at Wanda's house! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality. The home was exactly as described, even better in person—spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect for the wedding we were attending that weekend. I especially loved how cozy and convenient it was. Wanda went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience, providing flexible check in/out times, ample snacks, and an abundance of amenities to help it feel more like home. Communication was smooth and prompt, and helped with everything we needed. I highly recommend Wanda's place to anyone looking for a relaxing and cozy stay in Wonder Lake! I can’t wait to come back.

Fantastic home, we all loved it and had such a great time! Deirdre was right on top of things, so friendly, it was a delight working with her. The home was beautiful, and looked just like the pictures. What a fantastic experience!

The Acorn was a great landing place for my 30+ day stay while house hunting. Heidi kept in communication as needed, but not overly so - just right! Beautiful set up on the Fox River - peaceful and wonderful area to explore.

Me and my friends absolutely loved staying here! We were in town for a friend’s wedding in Cary, IL. We all enjoyed the provided games and loved the sound system/bluetooth stereo as well. Super comfy beds and cozy living room!

Very nice place to host our large family Christmas gathering. Plenty of room for everybody. The game room was very much appreciated and well used.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was super cute and located in a very quiet neighborhood. Perfect for a weekend getaway. The home was loaded with a bunch of surprises and helpful items that I was not expecting, but extremely appreciated. Thank you again for allowing us to stay in your wonderful home. ☺️

The home was lovely. The backyard was wonderful to be able to sit by the lake or under a netted gazebo was wonderful. The house is very spacious with a huge, dynamic bathtub/shower. An overall wonderful experience best Airbnb I’ve stayed in by far.

Excellent host and excellent Airbnb. I fell in love with Cary, the area is so beautiful and peaceful. The Airbnb itself is the perfect amount of space and Vicki made sure to include all the amenities. We felt right at home. We will definitely book again when back in the area.

The place was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Charles was extremely considerate and took note of our traveling situation. He went out of his way to ensure our comfort. I enjoyed my time here completely.

From her greeting you at the front door to making sure you have all that you need. Her place is perfect for a few days or even an extended stay! Located just off the highway and close to an amazing wine and restaurant - and minutes away from Beloit College! I recommend and look forward to my next stay

Very beautiful old house decorated to match! The library with the stain glass windows is so beautiful. Abundance of space & in a great part of town close to everywhere I needed to get to.

Place was amazing and clean. Host was very quick to respond to my questions aswell.

We wanted something close to The Standard where we were attending a wedding; this was a quick 5 minute walk! Paul was very responsive to questions and answered the phone when we were having difficulties getting in; his attention to guests was greatly appreciated. There were steep steps when you entered, this may have been in the description and I just missed it - not a problem for us, but may be for others. The apartment itself was very clean and welcoming. There was a noticeable faint smell of smoke - which isn't uncommon for old places and it fades once you've been inside for a bit. We would stay here again in a minute!

This place was great! The location is fantastic, so close to everything downtown and to the lake itself. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone coming to Lake Geneva.

This is our second stay with Bente and we loved it just as much as much as the first time. We were included in social activities happening over the weekend on the farm which was an extra treat and was so kind. I love being able to show my kids the farm life and take a break from our regular life.

perfect is the word! we very much enjoyed Chad and Morgan's place. everything as described or better. good location and all the amenities we needed. comfortable bed, nice towels, nice view, overall we were super pleased. definitely worth the stay.

Joan's daughter, Rebekah, communicated directly with me through the Airbnb app. She provided detailed check-in instructions, a phone number to contact her, etc. It seems Rebekah lives in Hawaii so please keep note of that for response times, etc. The house was comfortable, very clean, and well-appointed. Joan and Rebekah have a beautiful collection of original art, artifacts, etc. so please keep that in mind if you are bringing small children to the home. Please note that the 1st floor bedroom has a king bed and full bathroom; and the lower level has 2 twin beds in the open area, 1 full bed and 1 twin bed in the first bedroom, and 1 full bed and 1 futon in the second bedroom (including a full laundry and utility room in a closed room).

Lori’s place was amazing! The location was perfect, peaceful, yet centrally located near tons of things to do. Whether you want to explore or just head back to relax, it’s the ideal spot. I highly recommend taking your coffee out onto the balcony to enjoy the beautiful view, it was one of my favorite parts of the stay. Lori was incredibly responsive and checked in often to make sure I had everything I needed. I would 100% stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful Lake Geneva Airbnb! The home felt so welcoming from the moment we walked in. The location couldn’t have been better. Just minutes from the lake and downtown, we were able to enjoy charming local shops, great restaurants, and stunning lakeside views without needing to drive far. It was the perfect blend of peaceful retreat and convenient access to everything Lake Geneva has to offer. Our host was outstanding—friendly, responsive, and truly committed to making our stay comfortable. They provided excellent local recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or just some time to relax by the water, this place is a gem. Wehighly recommend it to anyone visiting Lake Geneva!

We enjoyed our stay here! It has a comfortable king bed and unique decor which made our visit fun. The location is very close to the lake and walkable to several downtown restaurants, coffee shops, Lake Geneva Shore Path and lake tour boats. We enjoyed getting custom-make breakfast wraps downstairs. We had a college reunion event at the Geneva Taphouse a couple blocks away. Lots to do and see in downtown Lake Geneva!

Great place! Loved that we were tucked away in a more quiet area but still a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Lake Geneva. Quiet, clean, and spacious.

Beautiful place with the perfect amenities! Great instructions provided by the host. Friendly neighborhood, and very close to both Lake Como and Lake Geneva. Very glad I chose this Air BnB instead of a hotel!

Great location perfectly located between Delavan and Lake Geneva. Views from balcony are amazing for sunset's. So close to Mars resort, Niche wine bar. Great location for week or weekend stay. only downside, which we know before booking is we rented for a month and no laundry facilities on site, so you have to drag laundry to laundromat on weekly basis for long term rental. overall 5 stars across board on this rental.
