Great Weekend in Amazing Property
First of all this lakeside home was breath taking and so very cozy. Everything we could have possibly needed we had available, beds were comfortable and the space was perfect for my small family visiting our son for his Naval boot camp graduation. Thank you Josh for opening your doors to us and allowing us to visit your home. It was perfect.

Well appointed, dog friendly home
We were looking for a spot for our family of 5 (all adults) to stay while in the area for our youngest son’s graduation from boot camp. This was the perfect spot. It was serene and peaceful. Plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen had everything we needed (important, as our boy was anticipating some good home cooking). Neighbors were friendly. Best of all, communication with the host was amazing. Very clear check in instructions, and very responsive. Would 100% recommend this spot, and would love to return during the warmer weather to take advantage of the lake.

Great stay - good times
We enjoyed our time here with our family and friends. Josh was great to work with and quick to respond with answers to questions. The house is located in a great spot on fox lake away from the lake traffic. The shade in the afternoon and the view on the lake was very idyllic way to wind down the day.

Amazing Stay
We stayed at Josh’s lake house with 7 guests (4 adults and 3 kids) and 2 dogs. The house was perfect for our group! We rented their boat for the entire stay and spent every day on the water. In the evenings we played cornhole , went fishing and grilled out. The beds were super comfy. Josh was very responsive for any of our needs. Would definitely stay again!

Fabulous Property
We loved our stay at this Fox Lake property. Josh has updated the entire house. Very well stocked with supplies, towels and kitchen spices. We grilled 2 nights on the deck while enjoying the beautiful view. You have a view of the lake from the first floor, loft and master. Cute balcony off the master facing the lake. Our dog loves the fenced yard and enjoyed watching the wildlife. We loved the house so much we've already booked our next visit.

Wish we could stay longer
This property is amazing. This is our 2nd time renting this property and it never disappoints. We were able to bring Paddleboards this year and the Lake in the morning (we were there during the week) was perfectly calm and peaceful. We always leave refreshed and wanting more. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place. We only wish we could stay longer.

Relaxing and comfortable Lake Home
We were grateful to stay at this home on the Fox Lake Chain. Josh, the host was attentive and available prior to our stay and during our stay. We appreciated his communication throughout. The home was perfect for our group of 5 with plenty of comfortable sleeping areas. The home had everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed. We enjoyed the outside areas. Coffee on the porch in the quiet of the morning was a treat. We enjoyed the fire pit at the lakeside and the stack of wood for our use. The home is located in a quiet residential area which was a plus. I only wish we could have enjoyed more time at this property. Josh, thank you for your hospitality.

Best Place on the Chain
If you rent this property, you will not be disappointed. My wife, daughter, and I highly recommend this VRBO. Its clean and fresh and exactly like it is stated in the advertising. We were also able to rent a pontoon boat as a separate agreement with the owner. The boat was also newer and clean. I don't think that you can find a better place on the chain!

Great Fox Lake Mom & Sisters Getaway
We were so happy to find the perfect house and location right on the lake for our annual 'Mom & Daughters' getaway. The host Josh was very communicative, the house was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need. The full wall of windows facing the lake provided stunning views. We saw so many different birds including pelicans!! I would highly recommend this host and this location. Hope to be back again some day.

Loved our weekend stay
We loved this Fox Lake property! We came for a winter writing retreat, where we could be cozy and cook good food and be creative. This property delivered. The gorgeous two story windows let in so much light and we could dream about life and books while looking out at the geese and ducks floating on the partially frozen water. The view is second to none. The house is gorgeous and well-stocked. It was nice to have coffee available, and weirdly, paper plates. We even used the air fryer! Everything was comfy and cozy as desired. The host, Josh, was extremely available and it was nice to know if we needed something, he was available. Hope to rent this property again next year!
