Pros:
Beautiful view
Plenty of room for our family of 7
Linens provided
Washer & dryer
Kitchen utensils provided
Close parking
Full kitchen
Great hosts with clear instructions
Easy check in/out
Comfortable beds
Lots of outdoor space (shared with other houses)
Cons:
3 feet away from a LOUD nightclub. We couldn't enjoy sitting on the deck at night because the nightclub is so loud. It’s not too disruptive when you're inside the house watching TV but when the house is quiet and we were trying to sleep we heard the music & bass until 3am. I'd suggest bringing a noise machine to help drown that out because it's very loud.
No fan in the bunk bed room - it did get stuffy. The kids had to leave their door open to try and get some air flow and even then it was noticably hotter/stuffier in there. I'd bring a fan with if we stayed again.
Master bedroom fan is permanently on high and taps/clicks as it spins so you can choose to try and sleep with random tapping or with no fan at all.
Firepit is shared with the other houses who, during our stay, just were groups of adults staying at them so bringing our kids to it did not feel OK.
Overall it was fine and I'd stay again. The house itself was nice and what I expected but I would've liked to have known beforehand we would be 3 steps away from a nightclub. The house served us well for what we needed, but being able to also enjoy our nights there wouldve made it a lot nicer stay.

Great use of the space, and the patio with grill overlooking the lake is amazing for cooking and eating. Bar is RIGHT next door so can be a little noisy at night, but wasn't enought to bother us at all.

Nice place. Clean. Good dock. Nice fire pit . Great location. Could be too loud for children with bar next door. Great view on the lake but big hill to walk down for older people or bad legs. Porch could use some cleaning and repair. Will go back.

We really enjoyed our stay here. My 3 and 5 year old girls loved the bunk bed and TV in their room. Nice kitchen and bathroom, the deck has a great view to watch all of the boats. Caught some white bass, largemouth and bluegill along the shoreline. Had a nice fire in the firepit. I would highly recommend staying here! Zero complaints.

Great spot. Great host.
This was our first time staying at this property. We have stayed at other rentals on the Chain O' Lakes. This one is above par. Very clean and roomie. It slept 4 adults comfortably. Access to Famous Fredides and their boat slips was perfect. We liked it so much we plan to rent the large house and the same cabin again and bring more fiends.

Absolutely Beautiful Cottage
Jessica was AMAZING and so patient with our booking. Everything was perfect and my husband and his mom really enjoyed their stay. Husband said he’d love to visit during the summer and bring our boat if we were coming to Illinois. Jessica thank you for everything it made my mother in law’s move so much easier and we can never thank you enough!

A really wonderful house by the lake. Perfect for small getaways and gatherings.
Easy to book, easy to navigate the house, and very user-friendly property. Lots of classic amenities including neat rooms, modern technology, modern kitchen, beautiful patio with grill, and large lot with lake and fire pit. Definitely a place to revisit for any short getaway from the hustle bustle of the city.

Weekend getaway
My friends and I really enjoyed our stay, the home was so clean and welcoming. Jessica was very detailed in her email on the day of check in, it made everything so easy and smooth for us. Despite the rain we were able to take advantage of the sunny moments out on the deck. I will definitely be booking future trips at this lovely place!

Mini Polar Vortex couldnt ruin trip.
Just a fishing trip mid week before the Memorial Weekend crowd. Only one dock to share with others on the property. The larger dock right next door inaccessible. Famous Freddies is RIGHT next door....Covid seems to have cut business considerably. Seems like the fish knew that too. Large mouth Mayfly party fishermen not invited...then the eclispe...then the mini polar vortex dropped temps 40 degrees in 2 hours. But the place was so sweet I hardly noticed. Walking distance from the metra...what a find.

Lake house
Swimming and fishing off the pier was great. We rented a boat from Jett Fun Rentals and it was great! We used the firepit one night, and it was nice.
One issue, a wild party took place at the house next door the first night we were there. Besides that, the trip was great.

Perfect Low-Key Getaway
We had a great few days at Jessica’s Home on Piskatee Lake. The house was exactly as advertised. You can’t beat the location - steps from the water and right next door to a local restaurant/bar. The home was clean and had everything we needed to do some cooking and grilling. We loved relaxing on the deck and the umbrella tables were perfect to get a little shade.

Great mini vacation getaway!
This home provided a perfect mini vacation getaway for my parents. Jessica was very accommodating and quickly responded to our needs. The house was clean and had plenty of towels.
We enjoyed eating at Moretti's just down the road and found a
new favorite Bar-b-Que restaurant in the area, BBQ Productions on route 12.
If we plan another stay in Fox Lake, I would rent again!
