Incognito McHenry home

Pros: Good location, quiet neighborhood with lots of deer, nice supply of start-up toiletries. Partial A/C was enough to keep house cool during heatwave. Comfortable master bed with its own A/C vent. Cons: Need a 4-wheel drive to navigate some steeple crush & run roads. House has small water tank, and owner wants renters to wait 30 minutes between shower use. Kitchen is very bare bones - bring your own cleaning supplies, foil, very few pans. Some safety concerns if need to take your pet outside after dark. Bring your own flashlight as it’s very dark.

Mountain Retreat

Nice cozy house in the mountains. All appliances either new or in good working order. Bedrooms were nice size. Plenty of towels. Wish the baths were more elderly friendly. The tubs should have a nonstick surface and the shower head should be adjustable and able to adjust the height. My only complaint is not knowing how the dirt roads and inclines were after getting off the paved roads. Overall nice stay.

Quick trip

We only stayed a couple of days. The place was as described and clean. Some of the kitchen appliances need replaced as they are very used. Overall, it was a nice place for a small group.

Perfect Getaway!

This was the most perfect, quiet and quaint little area. It was in great distance to restaurants, stores, the water, etc. but perfectly tucked away where we could build a fire and relax. The house was clean, well-kept and perfect for 7 adults and a one year old. I already saved so that we could rent again!

Great stay and great location!

We loved staying at this house! Location was great, house was clean, and check in was easy. The only thing I would fix is that the tub doesn’t hold water, the water kept draining. Other than that, it was nice!

Beautiful and Quiet Property

The home was in a wonderful area, quiet and perfect for a little getaway. The house had obviously been cleaned well, but there was one small issue. Quite a few ants had entered the kitchen, we found them when they took over our small box of donuts in the morning. I think this is just part of being in the woods, so I do not believe this is anyones fault. Other than this small hiccup, the house was perfect for my wife, my dogs, and I!

Perfect country getaway

We were looking forward to getting away and unplugging for a couple of days. We were able to do just that! Played card games and built a fire. Kicked the ball and even took the dog on a nice walk. The kids didn’t even complain that they didn’t have devices. And at night we just cuddled up and watched movies. We will be back for sure.

Great place

We had a great time! It was the perfect mix of being remote and close to things. We did get some rain that weekend, but we were able to get out a do some things during the day, and still enjoy the porch and fire pit at night. The place was clean and neat.

Perfect weekend retreat

Loved the location and was close to grocery shopping. The house was never cold despite the 35 degree temps in May. Definitely use AWD or 4WD for the gravel roads. Brought own coffee and tea, none was in the house.
