Our home is surrounded by beautiful large trees with great views overlooking a quiet spring feed lake, where you can fish, paddle and swim. We are just three miles from Antioch, IL; a charming historic village with many shops, restaurants and theaters. The near by Chain of Lakes offers boating and recreation. In the winter there is ice fishing on the lake and skiing at the nearby Wilmot Mountain Ski Resort. A train station in Antioch provides connections to O’Hare airport and Chicago.
