This home was spacious, well stocked, and had nicely manicured grounds.
River view and sunsets were lovely. Our family had a fun Labor Day weekend experience!
It was well equipped and Kris was very available and helpful. Great place for kids and adults. They could all do their own thing but be close. Great time!!
We can't say enough about the quality of this stay in every aspect from booking to check-in to check-out, and everything in between. This place was one of the nicest places that I have stayed in. All contact persons went above and beyond to make our stay one of the greatest.
The house was excellent. were there for 4 days, very clean, lots of space, everyone had there own room, the host was at the house when we go there and showed us around, everything worked, no problems, fishing was good, close to stores, enjoyed the fire pit, Our host Kristin took very good care of us, answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend this house.
Home is well furnished, like itâs your own lake house. Owners are great with communication and friendliness-willing to answer any questions. The home even seemed larger than the picture portrayed! We had a family reunion with 3 generations and the home was perfect sized. Loved the sunroom off the kitchen for eating and cards. Lake is beautiful and watching boats drive by was such a relaxing experience from daily life.
The view alone made the home a great place to stay. Add six+ bedrooms and there was plenty of room for everyone. The fire pit is huge with chairs all around. It was a perfect retreat. We will return.
This is a beautiful property on the Fox river. Lovely views from the living room, bedrooms and deck. Cozy enclosed porch. Couldnât ask for anything more. Our family had such a good time staying in this large and relaxing home. Comfortable space, all the amenities you could want. Property managers are super responsive and a joy to work with. Highly recommend this property!
We booked a weekend here to have a 40th birthday celebration for a group of longtime friends and it was absolutely perfect for it. There were plenty of beds for our group of 11 adults to be comfortable. The backyard is where this place really shines! It's right on the water with a nice gravel bottom ideal for swimming. The large firepit, deck, and hot tub were all great social spots. We had perfect weather, but if it rained the plan was to move to the basement with the bar and pool table. Also of note, the place is a 5 minute drive to Woodman's for supplies and several bars/restaurants. The owner provided their phone number and was extremely welcoming and responsive to any questions. We definitely hope to stay again!
16 women who have been working together for 20 years spent the weekend at this house to celebrate a recent retirement. This property is spectacular. It is set right on the River and is very large. We cooked in both nights and the kitchen was great the way the beds and bathrooms are set up works perfectly for a big group. The beds are all brand new and extremely comfortable. We utilized the hot tub, the fire pit, the downstairs bar room with pool table and the large TV room for college football viewing. We had a few questions and Kristin got back to us immediately. She is a great host. My entire group absolutely loved this house. Thank you so much Kristin
We booked this property for my sons graduation from Navy bootcamp. Our whole family was able to stay, and my son spent the weekend with us. We had plenty of space for everyone to have their own beds. The hot tub was amazing!! The river was a little cold, but that did not stop the kids. Place was clean and had a bunch of supplyâs already like plates and forks, and we contributed to it as well. Hooghly recommend if you want a nice place for a Navy graduation. Close to nearby shopping, very safe neighborhood and very quiet! I give it 11/10!
For anyone with mobility issues, main floor was completely wheelchair accessible. There are 5/6 steps to get into the house, but once on main floor I had absolutely no accessibility issues.
We were a big 4-generation group and of course forgot a few things (and broke a few things). The owners could not have been nicer about it!! I really appreciated their communication. I donât ever leave reviews, anywhere, but just had to say thanks again for sending us what we forgot!
Very clean, bright, large space. So many extra beds.
We probably should have brought sleep masksâthe light was beautiful but was it ever bright in the morning on the upper floors.
Fully stocked kitchen, with many nice touches. We ended up using it a lot as a result! Thank you for making home-cooking so easy.
A nice stock of board games and childrenâs books. This house is great for hide and seek, too!
Overall, an easy place to hang out in all day for the whole family.
We were a group of 11 - six adults and five children. We had an incredible time at Pineapple Ridge. The children, young and old, loved the home for its myriad of sleeping options, places to explore, and, delightful Hide & Seek options! Everyone had space when they needed it and togetherness when they wanted it. The adults spent time in fellowship as well as individually. There were so many decks, porches, and comfortable rooms to relax in and just be alone - or - enjoying intimate conversations. Taking in the views never got old. Pineapple Ridge's quiet and private lot on the Fox River is picturesque and the water sparkled constantly. The fire pit was astounding and we broke our family's record for most s'mores consumed. The set-up and comfy chairs made for magical evenings. We felt like we were away from it all - but - could enjoy the comforts of close-by towns and scenic drives. The house is stocked generously, parking is ample and convenient, and most of all, the hosts and hostesses were responsive and helpful whenever we called on them. The communication was exemplary and the graciousness was on full display. We were pampered and treated like royalty. We cannot say enough about our stay. It was sad to leave but the cherished memories we made as a family will be with us for a very long time. Pineapple Ridge is a special place.
We are a group of 16 extended family members ages 16 to 79 who take up a lot of space and have varied interests. The house was perfect because it had lots of room and everything we needed for our group. Everyone had a comfy bed. There were plenty of towels (beach and bath). The kitchen had all the cookware we needed for preparing big meals. The basement was a fun space for those of us who wanted to stay up late and play while the second floor bedrooms were far enough away that the noise didnât keep grandma and grandpa awake. The house has several little nooks to sit and read. The yard is nice and big. There were plenty of chairs around the firepit and lots of palletwood for us to burn. The lilypad was fun to use right off the dock. We brought kayaks and went out in the evenings and mornings from the dock. The river views were nice. On the weekend, it was fun to watch all the different boats go by while during the weekdays the river was much quieter. Kris was very friendly and super easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this place for your family or friends get together. The house is bigger and nicer than the photos can show. Lots of personal special touches to make sure you have a great stay.
We loved our time at Fox Lake! Kris and Christie were very communicative and accommodating. They greeted us when we arrived and answered any questions we had throughout the weekend. The backyard has plenty of space for games and people to hangout on the layout chairs or the fire pit. The kitchen was stocked with just about any tool and spice you might need.
The Pineapple Ridge home was perfect for our family gathering of 20 people, spanning 3 generations aged 4 to 82.
The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, so many comfy beds and the backyard/pier was perfect. The fire pit was nice and had so many chairs, no need to bring your own. Kids enjoyed the jacuzzi and the elders played mahjong in the room right of the deck everyday.
The owners were very responsive and so accommodating. Highly recommend this home. The pictures don't do it justice!
I stayed at this property with a total of 14 people. We all loved it! The owner was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. There was plenty of room for everyone⊠areas for quiet and areas to gather and play cards or just enjoy the beautiful backyard. The view of the river was outstanding, the beds were all comfortable and the kitchen fully stocked! Our family rented a total of three houses in the area and this one was hands down the best! It was well maintained and had plentiful supplies of towels, soaps, throw blankets, life jackets⊠We will definitely stay here again next time we vacation in this area!
Pineapple Ridge is beyond wonderful!! Beautiful setting; large well-appointed house with lots of bedrooms, beds, bathrooms. A fantastic kitchen with EVERYTHING we needed. A basement with plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. The owners are always readily available to answer questions. It Is PERFECT. We hope to visit again. Thank you Kris and Russ for sharing this piece of heaven with our family.
Everything about this property from start to finish was perfect. The owners were great and made the whole process super easy. The location of the house was also great, close to stores, restaurants, bars, etc., but being on the river was wonderful and made you feel like you were truly away from it all. The weather was really bad the first 2 days we were there, but the house is big and comfortable and I loved the open floor plan with the kitchen and family room, so even though we were stuck inside we could all hang out together with plenty of room. We were able to take advantage of the back yard and fire pit one night and it was, again, perfect! Sitting on the dock in the morning with coffee or in the evening with a cocktail was soooo relaxing. Lots of beds and bathrooms which makes this house ideal for a group, also lots of parking which is unusual for a VRBO. The house had everything we needed and would be fun in every season. Loved the big windows in the family room that face the river and the big back yard. The place would obviously be great in the summer, but it was beautiful with the fall colors and would also be beautiful covered in snow with a fire going in the fireplace. We didn't have little kids with us this time, but the house would be great if you do. Lots of space and also a huge basement with a pool table and hang out area. We rented the house because we were in town to do a memorial service for the mom. It was a tough weekend, but staying in such a comfortable home together with my siblings and our families and having the space for everyone to gather, made for a wonderful send off and the perfect setting to honor my mom. It was a great stay and a perfect weekend. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back! THANK YOU!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The host was extremely gracious and accommodating. Pictures do not do the house justice. We will be back soon hopefully.
Our group of 5 families have been vacationing together every summer for 11 years and we have never stayed in a nicer or cleaner rental. Kris and Todd were so helpful throughout our stay so much so we plan to come back next year. You cannot go wrong with this place. The pics donât do it justice.
We are a group of 3 couples who purchased this property as a get away to enjoy with our families. We wanted to share our love of the property when we are not able to use with others. We treat this as a second home with all the comforts and luxuries we enjoy. It is our hope that others treat this as they would their own homes and feel like we do when visiting.
We take pride in owning and renting this big and comfortable home. We make sure the home is clean and ready for guests all year. There is so much room, even with bad weather you will find plenty to keep everyone busy. The area is also very lively with a drive in movie theater, Volo Auto Museum, shops and many restaurants and bars. A great vacation spot for the whole family.
