This is our third year on the Island and we couldn’t be more at home. It’s very well kept, clean, quiet and so picturesque. The owners respond quickly and are super helpful. It’s definitely become our happy place and we look forward to many more years.

Beautiful, family-friendly park model community outside of the Chicagoland area. Every property features 50 feet of waterfront access. There is nothing like it on the chain.

Do you want to own a home and boat slip on the chain for 1/5 of the price? Then this is it. I’ve been coming here with my family every summer since I was 11, and love it. The best fishing on the chain is off my Dad’s pier. The family that owns the business is very helpful and pleasant. If I had a little more saved I would buy a lot (soon hopefully).
