Central air, heating, and ceiling fans add to the home`s comforts. Use our Wi-Fi to stay connected if you’d like.

Guests will be able to access all parts of the inside and outside of the home. The only interior inaccessible part of the home is the utility closet for the cleaning and spa company to store supplies. On the outside, the deck and entire yard is accessible to the guest.

This is 1 of 5 homes on Maple Ave off Mineola Bay. This is an old lake house neighborhood that has roots to the origins of Fox Lake. It is generally quite and peaceful along the lake.

When you arrive, there is 2 free parking spaces just for you. They are clearly marked with yellow/black parking spaces behind the house.

This is in the heart of Fox Lake and a long walk from the Fox Lake downtown area, but definitely a 2 minute drive to the stores, movies, restaurants, etc.

Bring your fishing gear. There is good fishing in the Bay. Our kids catch large bass, catfish, bluegill and perch right off our pier in the back yard.

This is a popular house for Naval families to visit and cheer on their boot camp grads since it is only a half hour from the Great Lakes Naval base.

This home is designed safe and secure, and is equipped with a Smart Dead Bolt lock that controls check in and check out times, and has a door camera feature to make sure the correct guests are entering our home. All for your safety and to protect our home.

Garbage day is on Wednesdays. If you are staying with us overnight on a Tuesday, please take the garbage and recycle cans out to the end of the road for the Wednesday morning garbage truck.

The driveway is smaller and can hold (2) full size cars MAX, or 1 larger trucks or SUV`s tight. The entrance road and its an old tight road. Be careful pulling in and out of the driveway. Pull in and out very slow. If at all possible have other guests help you back out.

NOTE - Hot Tub subject to winter closures if freezing air temps of icing occurs

Welcome to Fox Lake! Known as the Heart of the Chain O’ Lakes, this lively village is a favorite spot for boating, fishing, and making memories on the water. With 15 connected lakes and 45 miles of rivers, there’s always a new place to explore — whether you’re out on a boat, paddling a kayak, or enjoying the view from a lakeside restaurant.

Fox Lake is located in Lake County, IL, a vibrant county nestled along 25 miles of shorline of Lake Michigan on its eastern border and the state of Wisconsin along its northern border. Lake County offers a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts, with nearly 31,000 acres to explore in 65 different forests preserves. There are 170 lakes in the County in whole, thus the name `Lake County`. This is a golfers paradise with 46 golf courses to enjoy. Lake County is a happening place with theme parks, water parks, a 2-mile long mall, dozens of historic downtown areas, and so much more.
