Go Upscale and Get Down to Earth. Enjoy this modern architecture with open floor plan surrounded by windows offering you ample opportunities to observe the 103 acres of lush woods and natural prairies that surround you. The Oasis is the perfect retreat for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate modern design.
The Oasis in the Woods is secluded yet offers easy access to sought after amenities including sandy beaches of Lake Michigan, Indiana Dunes National Park, premium outlet shopping, orchards, Casinos, boat tours and so much more.
The basics: 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms. Bedroom 1 is furnished with a Queen bed and bedroom 2 is furnished with a Full-size bed and Twin bed. In the basement you will find another Twin sized bed.
Spend the morning hours exploring the land, there is plenty! How many species of birds can you spot? Walk or ride the provided bicycles along the 1.5 miles of private road for an easy stroll or, hike the uninterrupted acreages that lies beyond. Choices of how to plan your days and evenings are abundant with the diversity the location brings. Below is a list of some activities. As you will see, there is fun for ALL ages close by. When evening approaches, perhaps you choose a beach and watch an often-colorful sunset. After a day out and about, wind down by chatting around the wood burning fire in the 400+ sq. foot screened porch while taking turns stargazing.
Just an hour drive from Chicago

Perfectly secluded oasis
The house is very nice place to stay. Plenty of space if you were to have even a group of people stay there, and they are pet friendly. The nicest part about the property (at least for now) is that it is inside of a gated community that is being built, but there are currently no other properties built. So you will be inside of a gated forested community with walking paths through the forest and no one else in there with you. If you want a secluded hideaway for a nice quite, peaceful vacation this is the place to stay!

Not worth the very pricey vrbo and host fees
this is a remote location rental with nothing but the basic ammenities in an older modern home. the property mgr came out to rectify our water problem in a timely manner, but, what occurred to cause the lack of water in bathrooms and kitchen was due to someone not doing their job. property mgr was able to fix kitchen faucet but the bathrooms were useless and unpleasant to shower in thankfully the toilets flushed. Luckly we checked out soon after all this nonsense
