Family-friendly vacation rentals in Fox Lake

Christine’s place was the perfect get-away for a family vacation close to home. The lake was beautiful and the place was spotless and inviting. It felt like you walked in to your own home. It’s close to places to eat and there is even a community space just a few houses down that is lively if the weather is nice. I’m hoping to come back again!

This was my second time staying at this lakehouse, and it was just as great as I remembered. I absolutely love the peaceful surrounding area—it's a perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature. The hosts were very responsive and helpful, answering any questions I had right away. Everything in the listing was exactly as described, and the check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I’m already looking forward to coming back again!

Amanda is the best host I’ve ever had, she is so friendly and responsive. Her kitchen was fully equipped, she gave us the option of having firewood delivered, the place is absolutely beautiful, you walk down some stairs to get to the beach. A group of 8 moms went there for a weekend getaway and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

Clean, roomy place. Short drive to stores or walk/shuttle to resort pool/restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. The only disappointment was the golf course was closed.

This house looks like it does in the photos. It is an easy walk to downtown in a safe area. Had a great stay overall!

We had a great stay at Delphine's place in Uptown. The location is excellent, being on a tree-lined street, but very close to the Red Line, the Broadway bus, Andersonville, Little Asia, grocery stores and more. As we had a little kid, being right on top of the little park downstairs was also very convenient. On the flipside, it can get noisy in the summer with lots of kids/playgroups coming there, but as parents, we didn't mind. Delphine herself was very quick to respond via Whatsapp to all our queries before and during our stay. One thing to keep in mind at her place is that you are very much living in their home. If you are looking for an apartment that is only intended for guests, this is not it. While it is plenty big as a 2BR/2BA, it is full of stuff, furniture, photos, books, toys, etc. They have made a very nice office space in the main living area, but the drawback is that the living area is now very cramped. The main bedroom has 2 queen size beds in it, which is a bit weird, so we just ended up using one bed to keep our clothes on. The other bedroom with bunk beds is excellent for kids and more spacious. So overall, a great place and a great stay, and especially good if you are a couple with 1 or 2 kids. Just a bit cramped and crowded with stuff. We stayed for 2 weeks.

We had a wonderful stay at Daniel’s place! The house is beautiful and the view is stunning. It was really clean and felt very welcoming. We traveled with grandparents and kids and everyone found something to enjoy. The pool table was a huge hit, as was the badminton set and the multiple outdoor seating areas. This one is highly recommended!

We had such a lovely stay! It felt like a home and was very cozy she even left fuzzy robes on the bed that added to the cozy fall vibes! The hot tub was clean and private and the unit had a beautiful view! Everything together made for the perfect relaxing get away!

We loved our stay at Kyle’s place - it was decorated SO cute (I went with two girlfriends and I’m pretty sure we all squealed with joy when we first opened the door). The location was perfect - just a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants Logan Square had to offer - and to public transportation (which we used the whole time in Chicago). The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet; we all felt very safe. When I come back to Chicago, I will absolutely be staying here again. Thanks for sharing your space with us, Kyle! We loved it! (Side note: you gave me so many ideas for house decor, your style is impeccable!)

Very comfy apartment in a great neighborhood. We were in town for a baseball game and it’s a terrific place for that, just about a 20-minute walk to Wrigley Field. The only thing to be concerned about is the stairs: there are two flights to get into the apartment and they’re fairly steep and small, so if you have mobility issues that would be a concern. I don’t and had no problem. Karen is a lovely host and was very helpful when I was getting into the place and unloading my stuff from my car. There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops in the area, so it’s a great place to explore and hang out.

Just like the description! Pet friendly with a beautiful fenced in back yard!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We had a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was super responsive and made check-in seamless. We especially appreciated the little touches and great local recommendations. The neighborhood felt safe and was close to everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Jamie was a really amazing host! She was friendly, helpful, caring and went over and beyond to make sure me and my kids were comfortable and had everything we need. Gave us lots of great recommendations to restaurants and as a first timer in Chicago she made sure I was aware of the traffic and other helpful information! My kids LOVE her she was vey nice, patient and gentle with them. Kid friendly house/area VERY quiet. The beds are the BEST after a long day of traveling very comfortable. The place was beautiful very nice decor and nicely maintained. We will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Chicago.

Place was just as described. Easy instructions to enter and house manual was clear. Steve checked in to ensure all was well upon arrival

Excellent stay and valuable advice from Emilia when we needed it

We really enjoyed our stay. Very convenient and could walk to the water. The little deck in back was a nice spot to have coffee.

Great spot! The condo was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Mandy’s detailed directions and instructions made checking in a breeze. Our group of four had a fantastic time.

What a lovely and hospitable place! We loved our time there. The level of comfort was unmatched. We would happily return. Truly a wonderful experience!

We had a fantastic time here! The property has an incredible deck that extends into the surrounding forest. We had breakfast outside every morning! If you love wildlife, you'll love this place.

Charming and comfortable - In the heart of Geneva close to cute shops and many restaurants! Very clean with convenient parking. Wonderful stay!

Debbie was fabulous to work with. Communication and helpful instructions were provided at both check in and check out. Would to come down this house as it exceeded expectations.

Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!

We took an unexpected trip to the lake and needed a peaceful, relaxing place to stay. Regina’s house was perfect. The condo is fully stocked with all you’ll need including a beautiful view of the lake. Regina gave great recommendations and was very responsive.

Place was better than I expected--looked more updated than the photos displayed. It was very roomy with a large bathroom and a full-size kitchen. With good weather, you can simply walk up the hill to the Grand Geneva. Will definitely plan to book again!
