Lakeview Manor of Chicagoland

With over 12,000 sq ft across 3 levels of expansive living & entertaining spaces, 7 sleeping areas, and 8 baths, the home comfortably accommodates up to 30 overnight guests (and up to 200 for events). Set on nearly 10 acres of level ground, the estate features a long list of luxe amenities including amazing upper & lower private heated pools connected by a waterfall, hot tub, theatre room, workout equipment in the garage, 2 kitchens, and views of 2 lakes. We love hosting meaningful gatherings—weddings, reunions, corporate retreats, and everything in between. Contact the Book A Memory team ahead of time to explore what we can accommodate.

The nightly rate covers the first 6 people. Each additional person is just $50 per person/per day. This applies to anyone age 3 and over (kids 2 and under are free). The fee is applied to anyone that comes to the property (not just those staying the night). The extra person fee covers additional wear and tear to the property and amenities, additional professional cleaning/disinfecting, increased use of the internal plumbing, electricity, and other utilities, etc. Have a pet? It's $300 per pet per stay to bring them along.

The estate is great for getaways, with our 2-level waterfall heated pools, hot tub, multiple terraces & verandas, a covered patio, and BBQ grill. The spacious yards offer plenty of room for kids to run or enjoy a game of football, soccer, or frisbee.

Getting here is easy, too! Located just an hour southwest of Chicago nearby Morris is a charming town with lively events & festivals, a collection of specialty shops & boutiques, a mix of both locally owned and nationally recognized restaurants, and year-round outdoor recreation.
