This spacious and stylish retreat is located on a hill with ultimate views of the lake and amazing sunsets. Walking distance to the BRAND new Lakefront Park which has a public beach, pickleball courts, splashpad, playground and live concerts every Friday all summer!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Our family had such a wonderful time at your VRBO! The house was perfect for our group of 8. Bedrooms so comfortable and AC unit so easy to use. Kitchen very well stocked with a huge family table great for eating and playing games. The pool table was in constant use - a real bonus! We loved using the giant raft provided on your lakefront as well as fishing off of your pier. The outdoor deck was delightful! Jens prompt responses to any of our concerns was really appreciated. Can't wait to visit again!!! Ed and Gerri

This house was spacious. Unfortunately, the kitchen was not clean. Bed sheets were stained. Not sufficient silverware or towels.
Highlights of our stay in Fox Lake were Jet Funn and the Volo Museum.
