Kid-friendly vacation rentals in McHenry County

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your river home with us. We made some memories we won’t ever forget.

We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was spotlessly clean and exactly as pictured, which made us feel comfortable and at ease from the moment we arrived. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked, so cooking was a breeze—everything we needed was right there. There was also plenty of seating for our family, making it perfect for relaxation. Highly recommend and would stay again!

Heidi’s place is absolutely beautiful! 🤩 It was the perfect place to relax while we were in town for appointments. The view of the river is peaceful and tranquil. The place is new, clean and thoughtfully equipped to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Heidi was a great host. She was quick to respond, flexible and good with communication. Thanks for a great stay!

Not only was Meghan's place beautiful and scenic, but it had so many amenities to take advantage of. From boards games on stormy nights, to the hot tub and yard games during sunny mornings. This place had all the options. The house itself was just right for our group of 6 and was stocked full of kitchen equipment for meals, using the grill, making smores, and making coffee. By the end of the trip, all of my friends said they would love to come back to this place later in the year. Meghan herself, was very responsive and accomodating to any questions or needs that we had to make the weekend we stayed there a great one.

Everything went well with booking and communication. Theresa was a great host

This was a beautiful home! Everything was super clean and felt like home. The kitchen is fully stocked and they have clean linens and blankets in case you need them. They were so kind and even included a champagne bottle as a gift! Great place to stay, highly recommend! Vladyslav was extremely helpful, responsive, accommodating and kind.

This was the perfect place for senior siblings and their spouses to reconnect over St. Patrick’s Day weekend. The kitchen is very well equipped, and we enjoyed the large dining and living room areas with windows looking out on the river. Our host Kathleen was very quick to respond to our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

Amazing place. Beautiful, clean, unique, cozy and private. The lake is out of this world and the host is responsive and sweet.

The place had a great location, right on the main street of town. Tons of food options are a stone's throw away. The beds were large and comfy. The set up would be perfect for 2 couples. Good sleeping arrangements we available in the living room area.

Great place. Will stay again when I’m in the area.

Wonderful peaceful stay. Very private. Comfortable surroundings and it felt like home. I would highly recommend if planning needing a stay in the area.

Shatrel and Ben were excellent hosts. They gave us clear instructions and were very responsive. The unit is tastefully decorated and clean. The unit is upstairs in a house. The location is about a 40-minute drive northwest from downtown Chicago, so it is convenient to the city while also within walking distance to a train stop with its shops and restaurants. After our experience there, we would stay there again.

If you’re looking for a quiet place to reground yourself with nature, this is it. My kids slept amazingly in the cozy beds and had so much fun playing in the hayloft. We learned a lot about farm life and snuggled all the animals. Bente is the most hospitable host I’ve met and the kind of calm and nurturing we needed. From milking the cow, hiking the sheep trails, playing with kittens and loving on Heidi the farm dog, there was plenty to do and we felt like part of the family. The kids even got to cook with one of the farmwise school groups! We will absolutely be back soon.

Charles was an amazing host and the place was perfect and had everything I needed. Definitely would recommend and will use again in the future if needed.

Excellent communication and location! Very close to the center of town. The doors and keys were a little confusing at first, but we figured it out eventually! Would happily stay here again if we ever come back to the area. Thanks Laura!

This space might be too small! We had a wonderful time and the place was within 20-30 minutes of wherever we needed to go. The greetings from day 1 to the Navy graduate compliments to Valentine’s wishes to the final exit greetings were just so touching. The feel of structure (floors, radiators, cozy and comfort fit.) Those radiators took me back to days of yesterday living in a rural part of Maryland before modern day amenities took over. My grandsons (25, 13) would’ve preferred just hanging out there but they succumbed to hanging with the sister who was the graduate. If she was scheduled to leave on Monday we definitely would seized the offer to Stan an additional night. 5 Stars!

Great space for a small Bach party! Close to downtown area. Had the cutest decorations with inspirational sayings along with unique pieces all around. The fire was lit when we arrived which made it that much more magical! Thank you, Tricia!

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.

Absolutely perfect! Great location. Everything is within 5 minutes. The host Nicholas was super responsive. I love the guide included that recommended restaurants and things to do. Also, the Great Eggs Bistro located directly across the hall from our suite was amazing!

Joan's daughter, Rebekah, communicated directly with me through the Airbnb app. She provided detailed check-in instructions, a phone number to contact her, etc. It seems Rebekah lives in Hawaii so please keep note of that for response times, etc. The house was comfortable, very clean, and well-appointed. Joan and Rebekah have a beautiful collection of original art, artifacts, etc. so please keep that in mind if you are bringing small children to the home. Please note that the 1st floor bedroom has a king bed and full bathroom; and the lower level has 2 twin beds in the open area, 1 full bed and 1 twin bed in the first bedroom, and 1 full bed and 1 futon in the second bedroom (including a full laundry and utility room in a closed room).

We loved Mackenzie’s place! It was a short walk to the Ridge hotel where we were attending an event. The condo was super cozy and fit our needs perfectly. And you walk outside and can see the lake! Would definitely stay here again.

my wife and I stayed here for her birthday weekend and we loved it. we would definitely stay again if we go back to the area.

We loved our stay at this beautiful location. It was close by to everything we wanted to do and the condo was exactly what we were hoping for! Rachel gave great recommendations and was so responsive to our questions. We will definitely stay here again!

This place was awesome. Felt very homie and comfortable. I love the decor and that there was a TV in each room. This place was beautiful and i wouldn’t mind staying again.
