Great place to bring the family

J boy Palos Park, IL
Review Submitted: September 11, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
My extended family of 12 including 6 little ones ranging from 1 to 14 had a wonderful stay! The beach is sandy and clean and there is a nice shallow swimming area for the tots as well as a great swimming raft in deeper water for the bigger kids. We rented a pontoon boat from the marina up the street for the week and tied it to the pier and had nightly “booze cruises”. The kids also enjoyed using the paddle boat. The fire pit was wonderful and it was well stocked with firewood. The yard was kept clean and green and is fenced in (which was nice for Peaches the schnauzer). There’s an antique soda cooler on the deck that we used to store all of our beverages leaving the refrigerator for food. The deck is covered by a huge awning which allowed us to sit outside the one day it did rain. There’s a giant gas grill (six burners I think) which was nice for cooking large meals. Inside was fun at night as we sang karaoke on the karaoke machine and the kids used the Game Cube system. The bedrooms were comfortable and the A/C worked fine. The two full bathrooms are in excellent condition and it looks like the one on the first floor was recently remodeled with a lovely tiled walk in shower.

There’s a quaint little ice cream shop walking distance from the house that has arcade games and souvenirs as well as a roller skating rink and bowling alley. There’s a grocery store about a mile away as well.

It was a great vacation and we plan to rent again!
