Relaxing and comfortable Lake Home
We were grateful to stay at this home on the Fox Lake Chain. Josh, the host was attentive and available prior to our stay and during our stay. We appreciated his communication throughout. The home was perfect for our group of 5 with plenty of comfortable sleeping areas. The home had everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed. We enjoyed the outside areas. Coffee on the porch in the quiet of the morning was a treat. We enjoyed the fire pit at the lakeside and the stack of wood for our use. The home is located in a quiet residential area which was a plus. I only wish we could have enjoyed more time at this property. Josh, thank you for your hospitality.

Best Place on the Chain
If you rent this property, you will not be disappointed. My wife, daughter, and I highly recommend this VRBO. Its clean and fresh and exactly like it is stated in the advertising. We were also able to rent a pontoon boat as a separate agreement with the owner. The boat was also newer and clean. I don't think that you can find a better place on the chain!

Great Fox Lake Mom & Sisters Getaway
We were so happy to find the perfect house and location right on the lake for our annual 'Mom & Daughters' getaway. The host Josh was very communicative, the house was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need. The full wall of windows facing the lake provided stunning views. We saw so many different birds including pelicans!! I would highly recommend this host and this location. Hope to be back again some day.

Loved our weekend stay
We loved this Fox Lake property! We came for a winter writing retreat, where we could be cozy and cook good food and be creative. This property delivered. The gorgeous two story windows let in so much light and we could dream about life and books while looking out at the geese and ducks floating on the partially frozen water. The view is second to none. The house is gorgeous and well-stocked. It was nice to have coffee available, and weirdly, paper plates. We even used the air fryer! Everything was comfy and cozy as desired. The host, Josh, was extremely available and it was nice to know if we needed something, he was available. Hope to rent this property again next year!

This was in a nice and quiet secluded neighborhood. The house was beautiful and accommodated everyone in our group, plenty of kitchen ware! Check the cabinets before you go shopping, we bought a lot of duplicates. Sitting by the fire pit making s’mores was the best way to end our last night.

Perfect property for a small(ish) group. The house is modern, clean, plenty of amenities, firepit, and of course, right on the water. We enjoyed how close it was to the city and being able to rent a boat and dock it right at the house. Communication was exceptional with the property manager and we would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Josh

Host profile image
Having grown up in northern Wisconsin I became accustomed to being on the water and learned to love outdoors! In spring you'll find me training for my next race or triathlon, summer you'll find me on the water or by a bonfire, in fall I'll be watching football and hiking to see fall colors, and winter I'll head to Colorado to some of my favorite ski resorts!

I love to travel and would say that Turks & Caicos has been my favorite destination thus far but St Lucia would be a very close second.

I'm the owner of a few small businesses and love to support the same. And I take great pride in providing a 5 star service for your stay!

Why they chose this property

This home sits directly on Mineola Bay on the Chain O' Lakes, in the heart of Fox Lake within walking distance of the downtown area and other amenities for the family. Forgot something?

There is a a local grocery store within walking distance to the home. Everything is so convenient for you.

And Naval families, we are just a half hour from the Great Lake Naval base!

What makes this property unique

Two story windows provide endless views as the property sits directly on the lake. The home is located on a one way dead end street which is incredibly quiet and secluded.
