Great home, enjoyed the clean and grassy fully fenced backyard as did Liam. Couldn’t eat at all of the nearby restaurants. Liam thoroughly enjoyed the walk to the Grayslake Lake/Park. Second stay at this home will stay again.

We needed a place to stay for a few nights while our floors were being done. It's a very nice home, and it's the first time we spent time in Grayslake, which we found to be very nice!

Great place to stay
Wife and I stayed for a few days while I visited a nearby company for work. House was immaculate, cozy and had everything we needed. Owner was very communicative. The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. The downtown area, with a great coffee shop, was only a 15 minute walk. Plenty of restaurants in the area too.

Adorable little home
I rented this adorable home for 10 days as my son had surgery (he goes to college in the area), and I wanted us to be comfortable. This home was perfect for our needs. Comfortable beds and sofa/chair, plenty of towels and toilet paper/paper towels. My only complaint would be the cherry tree in the front of the house. When they fall they are everywhere and they track into the house.

Furniture
The bed was very comfortable. The living room sofa and chair were uncomfortable and the sofa placed in the wrong place to watch tv. Got a cricket in my neck from having to look sideways. Chairs with no arms are really not comfortable either. I would rearrange the furniture and put the sofa on the wall directly across and in front of the tv. We appreciated the cleanliness of the house and the abundance of towels.

Why they chose this property

I've owned this property for some time now and have used it as a long-term rental. I always liked the idea of providing short-term rental for people and being able to meet and get to know people from all over the world so I decided in 2022 to start having it as a vacation rental. :). But don't worry, I'll let you decide how much communication you want. :) I'm always available for any questions.

What makes this property unique

Grayslake is in a perfect location and close to so many things. You can have a quiet and relaxing getaway. There are also many attractions close by including Six Flags Great America, Great Lakes Naval Base, Chain of Lakes, Gurnee Mills Mall, Independence Grove and Chicago.
