Cozy Cottage on Lake Dalecarlia

Enjoy your morning coffee in a sunroom with spectacular views of the lake. Birds abound including Swans, Pelicans, Swallows, Herons, and Bald Eagles. Stroll down to the lake and sip a beverage on the lakeside patio. Take a dip in the lake, float on a raft, or bring your fishing pole! There are plenty of fish to catch. At night you can chill to the quiet of a summer evening with just the sound of the waves and the birds, or enjoy a fire by the lake. If you're looking for entertainment, there are two smart TV's, one with a mini theater. Free wi-if of course! And there are plenty of Games to Play.
Kids will enjoy the bunkie room with a camping theme, and their own living room! The cottage is close enough to restaurants and shopping, but far away enough to make it quiet and peaceful!

If you're looking for local attractions, the Shrine of Christ's Passion is less than 15 minutes away; the Albanese Candy Factory is within 25 minutes, and the Fairoaks Farm tour and restaurant is 40 minutes by the back roads.

Lake Dalecarlia is a small private lake. ABSOLUTELY NO PARTIES or extra guests are permitted, out of courtesy to the neighbors and for liability reasons. Registered guests only please! Violators will be subject to additional charges.

Location!
We needed a place close to Crown point and this home didn’t disappoint! The house was decorated as a lake house and the view to the lake is beautiful and peaceful! We didn’t get to spend a lot of time at the home but the time we did we spent mostly on the porch or in the basement in the media room. The bunk room was smaller than we anticipated but the basement made up for that! Our teenagers made the basement work and they enjoyed the big TV and the space to themselves. I took advantage of the porch and spent my mornings looking over the lake and enjoying the views! The sitting room had plenty of room with the pull out couch and offered cute seating as well. The bathrooms are both updated and spacious. The washer and dryer was a great option for us being softball parents we were able to wash uniforms!!! We only had a few small things that were not so great the thermostat is newer and was not user friendly in my opinion. Also it was difficult to override the settings. But we made due and kept an eye on it after day 1. A few other items but nothing we didn’t handle on our own and communication with the owner was great. Overall we loved it! I will definitely be looking to visit again! Oh another great amenity is I was able to park in the attached garage! How great! Definitely a place to relax or as we needed perfect location! Thanks for the opportunity to stay!

I don’t often miss vacation rentals, but this cottage we do. It’s like a clown car…..didn’t seem very big, but once you get inside there are all kinds of rooms and spaces to hang out. This place was so clean and beautiful, plus the views will make your jaw drop. I’m local to the area (we were having renovations done) and have never seen so many water birds up close. it was a thrill….eagle, cormorants, terns, great blue herons that landed on the pier in front of us and was there to greet us in the morning. We simply love this gem and Sandy is the ultimate hostess; warm, kind, and clearly generous given all she provides to guests. She made this lake life experience unforgettable!

Luxurious accommodations
This is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed with VRBO! It is clear that the host Sandy has taken a lot of care to make it the most chic and comfortable home. We loved being right on the lake - looking out at the water from the sunroom at all hours of the day, swimming, fishing off the pier (and we were only there 3 days!). It is probably more suited to a family with two parents and a couple of kids, as our friend staying with us found the bunk beds too small for an adult, but she just slept on the couch in one of the three living rooms.

Breathtaking!!!
By far, this was the most beautiful home i have stayed in to date. I couldn't be more appreciative of the hospitality that Sandy had offered. Pictures do NOT do this place justice. Gorgeous home, breathtaking views, extremely cozy, and it was extremely hard for me to pack up and leave. I felt like I was "Home"! Now I'm looking into buying a lake house for myself. Thank you so much and I hope to stay here again in the near future.

Perfect cottage for a girl's weekend away. The lake front, nautical decor and amenities felt like we were miles away from everything but close enough to grab some fun in the city AND at the local haunts. Thank you for this delightful gem! We will be back!

Lovely, Immaculate Lakefront House
My husband and I were extremely pleased with this lakefront house. The house was immaculate when we arrived. Very nicely decorated with very comfortable chairs/couches, etc. Kitchen had pretty much everthing you might need for meal prep and service for a couple or family. Do bring spices/herbs, etc. if you are planning serious cooking. The house could easily accommodate a family, with separate areas where kids could hang out, even though the house is not huge. Definitely not a "party house". Was a perfect place for a much needed getaway.

Beautiful immaculate lakeside cottage.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lakeside treasure for a 5 day weekend. Above and beyond my expectations. All the amenities were included and the house has been recently upgraded with all new furniture. We were celebrating my mothers birthday and we wanted to come back to the area were she grew up. I highly recommend this property. The owner Sandy was polite accommodating and always available. 5 STARS!!

Fantastic with so many extras
Our stay on Island Drive was the perfect spot for a last taste of summer weekend getaway. This host provides so many extras - coffee, creamer, bottled water, new beach towels, lake floats, chair cushions, and more. The decor is beautiful and exactly to our personal tastes. Fantastic lake views from so many different rooms. Can not say enough good things and would highly recommend this property.

Great getaway
My husband and I enjoyed our time at this property. We spent a few days there doing some work and enjoying the scenery. The house is very nicely decorated and has a cozy feel. I would recommend water shoes though if you are looking to spend any time in the lake - the bottom is a bit gungy, rocky and pretty shallow in some places.

Enjoyable lakehouse stay
We didn't really know what to expect with Lake Dalecarlia but we were so pleasantly surprised! It is a lovely little lake so close to Chicago. Sandra's home is cozy and well appointed -- and Sandra was quick with any information and communication. The outdoor set up is wonderful and works very well for a family with kids. The water off the dock is shallow enough that adults can stand and kids can easily play. It was well stocked with inflatable floaties.

Perfect Weekend Trip!
We enjoyed our stay and could not ask for a better weekend getaway to relax and enjoy the lake. The property is nicely decorated and very up-to-date. We enjoyed fishing on the dock, the patio, and basement.. The property owner is super friendly to communicate with and made our stay great. Will definitely be back for another weekend trip! Highly recommended!
