About this house rental
Welcome to The April Inn, a charming historic waterfront retreat located directly on Grass Lake in Spring Grove, Illinois, in the heart of the beautiful Chain O’ Lakes.
This unique lake house combines the character and charm of a historic Victorian-era home with the outdoor experience that makes a Chain O’ Lakes vacation special. Step outside and enjoy your own private lakefront setting with a pier, lake access, kayaks, expansive yard, deck, outdoor entertaining areas, and beautiful views.
Whether you`re planning a family lake vacation, multi-family getaway, friends` weekend, fishing trip, boating vacation, fall escape, or four-season retreat, The April Inn gives your group room to spread out while keeping you right on the water.
A ONE-OF-A-KIND CHAIN O` LAKES HOME
The April Inn isn`t a cookie-cutter vacation rental. Its historic architecture, character-filled interior, spacious rooms, and beautiful waterfront setting give it a personality all its own.
The home comfortably accommodates larger groups with multiple bedrooms and sleeping areas, a spacious living area, well-equipped kitchen, dining space, and plenty of room for everyone to gather — or find a quiet corner of their own.
The large master suite provides a relaxing retreat after a day on the lake, while the home`s additional sleeping spaces make it particularly well suited for families and groups traveling together.
LIFE ON THE WATER
The lake is the star of the show.
Start your morning with coffee overlooking Grass Lake, spend the afternoon fishing, kayaking, swimming, or relaxing along the waterfront, then gather outside for dinner and watch the sun go down over the lake.
Guests have access to:
• Private waterfront and lake access
• Private pier/dock
• Kayaks
• Large waterfront yard
• Spacious deck and outdoor entertaining areas
• Outdoor dining and grilling area
• Beautiful lake views
• Plenty of space for family and friends to gather
Bring your boat and enjoy everything the Chain O` Lakes has to offer, or simply spend the day relaxing at the house. Either way, you don`t have to go far to enjoy the lake.
PERFECT FOR FAMILIES & GROUPS
The April Inn is designed for people who want to vacation together.
Bring the grandparents, kids, siblings, cousins, or friends and enjoy a true lake-house experience where everyone can stay together under one roof.
The spacious layout makes this home especially well suited for:
• Family vacations
• Multi-family getaways
• Friends` weekends
• Fishing trips
• Boating groups
• Reunions and gatherings
• Birthday and milestone celebrations
• Couples traveling together
• Holiday getaways
A FOUR-SEASON DESTINATION
The Chain O` Lakes isn`t just a summer destination.
Summer: Spend your days swimming, kayaking, fishing, boating, and enjoying the lake.
Fall: Experience beautiful autumn colors, explore nearby trails and farms, enjoy football weekends, and come home to a cozy lakefront retreat.
Winter: Enjoy a peaceful waterfront escape, visit nearby Wilmot Mountain for winter activities, and use the home as your base for a relaxing cold-weather getaway.
Spring: Watch the Chain O` Lakes come back to life with fishing, hiking, outdoor activities, and the return of boating season.
⭐ A STAY YOU`LL REMEMBER
The April Inn has already welcomed families and groups who have enjoyed its beautiful location, lake views, outdoor spaces, spacious accommodations, and convenient location.
Now, under new professional management, we`re bringing a renewed focus on cleanliness, communication, guest experience, property presentation, and attention to detail.
Our goal is simple:
You enjoy the lake. We`ll take care of the rest.
Come experience one of the Chain O` Lakes` most distinctive waterfront vacation homes and make The April Inn your home base for your next Spring Grove, Illinois lake vacation.
🌊 THE APRIL INN
Historic character. Waterfront views. Classic Chain O` Lakes memories.
📍 EXPLORE THE CHAIN O` LAKES
The April Inn is located in Spring Grove, Illinois, giving you easy access to the Chain O` Lakes and the surrounding communities.
Spend your days on the water, explore Chain O` Lakes State Park, visit local restaurants and breweries, enjoy nearby golf, explore Richardson Adventure Farm, or simply stay home and enjoy the lake.
For guests looking for nightlife and summer entertainment, nearby Blarney Island adds to the classic Chain O` Lakes atmosphere during the summer months.
Because this is a true waterfront vacation destination, guests may hear the sounds of nearby lake activity — particularly on summer weekends. If you`re looking for a lively lake vacation rather than a completely secluded retreat, you`re in the right place.
SUMMER NOTE - Due to our great location on Grass Lake, the music from Blarney Island can be heard at the house on the weekends. Closed in the offseason.
We allow a maximum of 8 adults and up to 4 kids at the property.
