Lakeside Cabins Resort

If you can, ask for cabin C26. It was super clean and comfy. Its near the pool and had plenty of room for my family. Love this resort!

This place is a gem! We booked a cabin at the resort last minute with another couple. We stayed in Cabin 26-​C. Perfectly situated, quiet, and fully stocked with everything we could have needed! The cabin was immaculate and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed every second of it! The lodge manager was very nice and friendly. Overall a great experience! I would highly recommend!

Have stayed here many times and love it and the area. Very restful and tons of things for the kids to do.

I have been taking my family to LCR for the past 6 years. This place is so tranquil and charming. I love how the park trailer models look like little log cabins. Yes, the cabins are small… but I consider them a camping luxury. They are equipped with central air, modern appliances and indoor plumbing. Roughing it here? NO… but still having all the benefits of camping. yes! And the best part about these cabins is the sleeping lofts… my kids absolutely love this feature. The resort offers a lot of fun activities while being in an intimate setting. There’s fishing, boating, swimming, beach play in the sand, volleyball, basketball, shuffleboard, bike riding, campfires, hiking, and bbq ing. The faciitlies are clean and the pools are great. We really enjoy our long weekends at LakesideCabinsResort and look forward to coming back year after year. The best part is that it’s only a short drive from Chicago. (about 60 – 90 minutes).

We had a relaxed 4^th of July weekend here. The place is ideal for families with small children. The fishing pond was good for wading, and the small beach was perfect for our two year old. The two pools are very nice. We stayed right on the fishing pond, which was pretty. Our only complaint was the cabins are REALLY close together, so on a busy weekend we were right on top of our neighbors. There was very little privacy, especially when we wanted to sit on the screened-​in porch. We’ll look at other options for family resorts in the area, but will probably be back.

Stayed here over Labor Day weekend with another family. We rented 2 cabins and had similar experiences. Let me start by saying the concept is great, but the cabins were filthy and in need of maintenance. Our was also unsafe. The concept: fishing, swimming pool, pancake breakfast, complementary cookout… what’s not to like about that. The cabins: Upon arriving we noticed a nice sized puddle in one bedroom that had also seeped into the bathroom under the wall. I could tell this was not a new leak, because there was a good amount of mold/​mildew along the seems of walls and tub. The repair man addressed the leak the next day but said water will continue to seep into the room because there is puddling where the hot water heater was framed in. Has anyone ever heard of a shop vac to get the extra water out??? Instead he gave us more towels to keep soaking this up. The floors were absolutely filthy. Our socks turned black within minutes. The kitchen light was out. The owner removed the fluorescent bulb on day 1, and we never saw him again. The way the cabin was laid out made for a pretty dark kitchen area. We went to open the pull-​out couch, and it was obvious no one had lifted a cushion in a long time. You name it, and that food was laying on top of the pull-​out bed. The cabinets under the sink where the silverware was stored smelled like a science experiment of mold and mildew. As we were leaving, on day 3, we found the smoke detector behind an appliance with battery out. So, there you have it. These problems were a result of basic neglect, poor cleaning protocol, and poor follow-​up. Our friend’s cabin was just as filthy but no flooding. I would not recommend this «resort.»
