  • This is a cute little house with a great pool. The location is close to a lot of food and shopping options. The beds varied in firmness so it’s worth checking out which work best for you. We adored the pool the most. The kitchen has limited materials so I recommend bringing spices and cookware

A Close-to-Home Pool-House Stay for Algonquin Families
Algonquin guests can turn a free weekend or school break into an overnight escape without a long drive. Swim together in the heated indoor pool, prepare dinner in the kitchen and settle into the private 3-bedroom home. The traditional sauna, backyard and grill are included with your stay.
The house is located in Crystal Lake, roughly 6 miles from central Algonquin. Allow about 15–25 minutes by car, depending on your starting address, route and traffic. Check your route before booking; this is a Crystal Lake vacation home serving Algonquin-area guests.
One reservation includes the entire house and amenities for up to six registered overnight guests. There is no separate hourly pool rental or public day pass. The pool is 5–14 feet deep and has no lifeguard, so children need close adult supervision. Daytime visitors and small celebrations must be approved by the host.
