Gorgeous Home/Wonderful Stay

I cannot say enough great things about this home and the experience we had staying here while celebrating my son’s Navy Boot Camp graduation in Grayslake, Illinois. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by how immaculate and beautiful the home was. It’s the perfect mix of Victorian charm and modern decor, with top-of-the-line touches throughout. The showers? Incredible. I’m very particular about my showers, and these were some of the best—great water pressure, hot water, and just what I needed after long days of celebration. The house was fully stocked with everything we could need, from laundry supplies to kitchen essentials, which made it easy for us to come together as a family for meals and downtime. It also included smart TVs with all of the apps needed to enjoy family movie night. The owner, Jeff, was exceptional. He communicated so well and went above and beyond by checking in with us on the first night to make sure we were comfortable and had a good night’s sleep. That thoughtfulness and care meant so much. This home is truly a gem, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s clear Jeff takes pride in creating a welcoming and high-quality experience for his guests. Five stars, no question.
