Family Fun

The property was wonderful and had everything we needed. It has been a hot summer and unfortunately the lake was green with algae with lots of dead fish. Something the owner has no control over.

Wilmont Ski Weekend

We had a great time at this property! It was clean and comfy with great views. Located about 15 mins from Wilmont was great for our family and friends to use the hot tub and recuperate after a long day of skiing! The host is very communicative and thoughtful.

Skiing Getaway!

We had a wonderful time! The place was great and just as described! While the temperatures dipped down into the negative numbers, we had the best time on the nearby slopes and enjoyed the hot tub, heated garage, fireplace, and black-stone. The house had everything we needed. We cooked all our meals for the weekend there and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you for helping us make wonderful memories with family and friends!!

Great property!!!

Great Lake house with tons of amenities. Sonos speakers though out the house, fire pit, hot tub, black stone grill and multiple kayaks. We rented the pontoon as well which was amazing to have. Will was super responsive both before and during our stay. Would highly recommend staying here.

Family Vacation

The property felt like being home, very relaxing and we felt most welcomed by the owner. We all had a great time using the pontoon boat for cruising, fishing, and swimming at the sand bar. Everyone wants to know when we are going to go again. 😊

Wonderful lake getaway!

A large group of us went here for a girls' weekend before a wedding, and we had a fantastic time. The lake is great for swimming, and the property is beautiful with a firepit we used for s'mores. The house was set up really nicely for big groups, with plenty of seating inside where we could all be together chatting and hanging out, and a big table on the patio where we all fit to eat meals outdoors. There were plenty of comfy beds with fantastic mattresses and comforters so we all slept great! Will was very flexible and responsive to messages and let us have a late checkout since no one was coming in after us, which made our last day so much easier and more pleasant. We loved our time at Lake Shangri-La and would love to come back!

I truly recommend this place for families

I truly recommend this place for families who want to spend a relaxing time. We had a great time at the lake house! The small community around is so quiet. Kayaking and swimming was fun ! The stores aren't too far by car, the house is well equipped for bbq and preparing meals. We were 11 people but didn't feel that it. They were a lot of spaces in the family room and outside to relax and enjoy a good time for our 3 families. Inside table is for 6 though, not for 12 people. Dinner time could have been tricky if everyone wanted to seat around the table. We had the teens having dinner before the adults and it went well. The bedrooms are great, beds are comfortable. We definitely enjoyed our stay!

Amazing week!

This place was fabulous!! We immediately felt at home in Will’s clean, comfortable, well-stocked house with the great deck and lovely lake view. We rented the pontoon and enjoyed fishing and boating. We also used Will’s kayaks, paddle board and huge floating mat (“Lily pad”) a lot. The new, sturdy stairs into the water were a huge bonus- many lake places don’t have that. My 86 year old mom and my young grandson could get into the water easily! There’s a nice ping-ping table, firepit, firewood, and a cozy hot tub. Communication from start to finish was excellent!! Will was VERY responsive and helpful. The location was super, because my daughter and son-in-law could easily zip back to their home/work in Chicago as needed, and my son was able to fly in from Florida and it was a short trip from O’Hare. The lake was very close to grocery stores and convenient to go see the impressive water ski show in Twin Lakes and go to bars/restaurants on nearby Fox Lake and Lake Marie. Antioch is a cute town as well. I highly recommend Will’s awesome house on Lake Shangrila!!

STAY AWAY!

STAY AWAY!! The owner is as uncooperative and unethical as they come. Once we were told that the owner Will intended to keep our entire security deposit ($$$$$) for a completely accidental car oil leak on their (EXTREMELY STEEP) driveway, we requested he provide us with documentation for the attempted cleaning. He ultimately refused to provide us ANY detail: he would not tell us how he attempted to clean it (which makes me wonder how hard he tried to clean it, if at all) or how much it cost him (which makes me think he spent very little money on an oil cleaner from Home Depot). He refused saying only that the oil stain would not come out and that he was keeping the security deposit for the “inconvenience.” I even went so far as to try to schedule a professional cleaning company to come out to his property to try to get the stain out as long as he paid for the service out of the security deposit. He just went radio silent. The real kicker though is that we purchased the VRBO insurance which would reimburse us for the full amount if he were to provide them with an invoice. The insurance company has reached out to him asking for an invoice but he refuses to do so (likely because he did not spend any significant money actually trying to remove the stain and has no justification for keeping the large security deposit). Two months later we are still trying to work with the insurance company but until Will agrees to cooperate, we continue to be out the full security deposit. He can keep the deposit, just provide the insurance company with an invoice! This whole interaction has completely soured the experience we had at his lakehouse which has also seen better days: - The pontoon boat clearly had not been cleaned before our use with SUBSTANTIAL green algea growing on the deck which we had to clean ourselves. It also had less than a 1/4 of gas in it which prevented us from using it as much as we’d like - The poor kiddos got bitten up by bugs from sleeping in the "kids room" -The outside grill was filthy; it had not been cleaned for a long time - The pier had some loose/rotting boards - whole sections of the yard were overgrown with weeds -and there were also other misc issues (e.g.; the fridge had door shelves that kept falling off; unknown to us almost all of the clean bath towels were in the dryer which we only discovered when we were leaving, etc.) We've rented many lakehouses and have NEVER encountered an owner like this. Not worth the hassle

About the host

Hosted by Will Scott

I work hard and I play hard and Lake Shangrila has been the perfect place to work, play and relax. I also travel extensively so the house is usually available to rent but it is a home too so expect a mix of clean, tidy and homely. If in a different timezone, I may be slower to respond. Contact my co-host Chloe at 630-229-1085 if so.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is beautiful and wrapped around the lake. Also full of great and friendly neighbors that care about the lake and our environment. Having a lake house retreat less than an hour from O'Hare airport is wonderful for families and memories are made here.

What makes this property unique

Property has beautiful panoramic views of the lake and direct lake access with a small beach and 2 piers, 1 of which can be used by your guest boat. Enjoy the hot tub, Blackstone grill, yard games all lakeside and depending on weather we have ping pong and hangout in the agrage with its own TV.

Also unique is our large inclined driveway with parking for up to 6 cars.

Located 15 miles from attractions such as Gurnee Mall, Six Flags Great America and Keylime Cove. Lipizzan Horse shows and Twin Lakes Waterski shows are featured twice per week nearby. In addition the Bristol Renaissance Fair occurs every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day just 10 minutes away.
