HUGE Crystal Lake 7 Acre Ranch w/Pool & Hot Tub
Enjoy the ultimate country getaway at this stunning ranch that sets the standard for luxury and elegance outside one of the most charming suburbs of the city. The interior spans 7,000+ sq. ft. over two levels of impeccably designed space and features 7 bedrooms, 7 king-size beds, and 4.5 bathrooms to comfortably accommodate up to 22 guests. Set on 7 acres of bucolic farmland, the home with an inground heated pool showcases gorgeous views of horses roaming behind classic white ranch fences.
THE SPACE Enter through impressive double doors to the residence’s grand foyer that leads to the main level social areas. A large great room with soaring ceilings and a luxe seating area is centered around a wall of windows and glass doors that open to a 3-season room and never-ending views of the surrounding countryside.
The residence’s designer kitchen is every chef’s dream with high end appliances including a gas range, prep island, and bar seating as well as a premium housewares package for creating and serving any type of meal. Enjoy dining with family and friends right in the kitchen at the 6-person table with a view of the TV and fireplace in the family room or take a more formal approach to entertaining in the separate elegant dining room in the front of the home.
Four bedrooms are located on the main level, including the exclusive primary suite with magnificent king bed, smart TV, huge walk-in closet, private access to the 3-season room, and ensuite bath. A garden tub under a large picture window, separate walk-in steam shower, and dual vanity sinks are hallmarks of the impressive bathroom.
Bedrooms 2, 3, and 4 all have king beds with luxury linens, smart TVs, and lovely views of the surrounding property. Also on the main level is a guest powder room and completely stocked laundry room with a wine fridge.
On the estate’s ground level are bedrooms 5, and 6 (each with a king bed) and 7 that has a king bed and twin bunk bed. Additional sleeping options include a cozy full-size bed and a 2nd twin bunkbed. These bedrooms share the home’s 3rd and 4th full bathrooms.
The lower level is also home to a fantastic entertainment area with full kitchen, a bar, cozy lounge ideal for gathering to watch the big game on the smart TV next to the fireplace; and the home’s showstopper - a new outdoor hot tub that will be a favorite spot for every guest in the group.
Nearly every room in the home either overlooks or leads to the estate’s unparalleled outdoor living areas where the main attraction is an oversized inground heated pool. Surrounding the pool are several seating and sun lounge areas, a covered dining spot, and BBQ grill. Make your way across the expansive lawns to the stone firepit, a perfect place to snuggle under the stars at night.

This home was perfect for a large family stay for the holiday's! The owner put up a Christmas Tree with lights and the fireplace in the grand room off the kitchen made for great memories.
Huge property with amazing basement and pool. Comfortably slept 14 (almost everyone had their own bed) and close to great golf courses plus Kief’s Reef Bar and McHenry. Would highly recommend.
The property manager was very friendly and responsive. Overall the space is very large and picturesque. It does need a little fixing up and attention to detail when being prepped for visitors.
The spacious, well-maintained home was perfect for our group. The bedrooms were roomy, and the living areas provided plenty of space to relax and enjoy time together. The fully equipped kitchen made meal prep easy.
A highlight was the neighboring estate with horses. The children loved it!
The outdoor spaces were ideal for relaxation, with patios for morning coffee.
Overall, this rental was the perfect setting for a memorable getaway.
We had a wonderful time celebrating an anniversary with 13 family members. The home and property were lovely. Ample space for all to enjoy time together. The pool, hot tub and lower level were particularly fun for the younger adults. John was terrific and very attentive to any needs we had.
The family came together to spend quality time. The place was great, but the only down fall was all the mattresses was very uncomfortable. This was the experience of all my guest. Maybe all the beds can use mattress tops. Besides that the place and host was great.
We celebrated my husband’s 50th birthday with a surprise Murder Mystery Dinner Party. We had 18 guests and then another 20 came by for the dinner party. The lower level allowed us to set up (4) round tables so we could all sit together. We brought in a caterer and bartender. The space was so perfect for what we needed. There were more extra towels and sheets in every closet. This house accommodates a large party very easily. We would love to come back in the summer and enjoy the pool! John was so terrific to work with. The house is so amazing!!
The property management team, maintenance and cleaning staff are excellent. Communication was thorough and response time was quick. We enjoyed the pool very much.
Description accurate! Huge, spacious; tons of room (and rooms!)! Family loved it…we each had our own room:) Pool was great; hot tub relaxing. Could use a bit of updating; but, had a great time! Worth it!
House and property were amazing, the kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed.Plenty of space for all. Will definitely be back in summer time.
We had 16 adults over for a friend's retreat, and everyone absolutely loved this place. Super comfortable, and actually even much more spacious than we had expected.
This accommodation was not suitable for us. After making the payment, they charged an extra fee for each person. The courtyard was full of mosquitoes that constantly bothered us. Even though we paid for cleaning, they said that the dining room or the rooms were not clean and that we had to pay extra. For these reasons, neither we nor our friends were satisfied and we decided not to come back here.
The host was very responsive and looked to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Overall, the house is very nice, and the owners are working to make some needed upgrades. We had a very nice trip.
This house was amazing for our friends and family to gather at, we had a really good time. Everything was clean and communication with the property manager was really good!
