Great place to stay. Very clean house in friendly, walkable neighborhood. 2 blocks away from lake park and walking trails. Beautiful large fenced backyard for our dogs to run and explore. Also great deck. Highly recommend!
It felt like home! Clean, inviting, everything we needed was at our fingertips including a big fenced in back yard and deck as well as a charming walkable neighborhood which allowed our dog to join us, Our son's wedding went off without a hitch and this place was so convenient to every event of the day. Will plan to return on our next visit. Thank you!
This house was perfect! The location was close to everything. The house itself was clean and The host Jon was very easy to contact and responded quickly.
Super cute home with a large well maintained yard, perfect for our 2 large dogs! They had a blast running around! Perfect location close to the little downtown shops and restaurants. Quiet neighborhood and close to our friends! Great stay!
Very cute and cozy home in perfect location - close to family. Very clean with all the amenities we needed. Loved being able to use the deck and enjoyed the large beautiful backyard! We hope to be able to stay again.
We loved the place, it had everything we needed and was very clean. Only few things missing the owners could add is a dish drying rack, and more kitchen towels :)
We loved our stay at the Mellow Yellow! Quality family time was spent with our new sailor and having a fully stocked kitchen and grill was so great for meals together. Jon was quick to respond to messages. The downtown area is so cute and it’s a short drive to anything you may need or want.
Wife and I stayed for a few days while I visited a nearby company for work. House was immaculate, cozy and had everything we needed. Owner was very communicative.
The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. The downtown area, with a great coffee shop, was only a 15 minute walk.
Plenty of restaurants in the area too.

We stayed here for my son’s graduation from Navy boot camp. It was perfect and in such a great location! Although it is about 25 minutes from the Great Lakes Naval Academy, it was worth it for the beautiful neighborhood and quiet location. The restaurants they had just a few minutes away in Grayslake were wonderful. Jon was a great host and texted right at check-in time. The house is adorable, well stocked with amenities and the beds are comfy. I would definitely recommend to anyone!
The home was very comfy and cozy! The neighborhood was so peaceful and serene. The home owner was very easy to access and returned inquires in a very timely manner.
Cute and cozy. Very clean. Hosted a successful Thanksgiving dinner with local family. Had everything we needed (we didn't cook a turkey, though). Also spent quality time with our Navy boot camp graduate! Great house!
Great home, enjoyed the clean and grassy fully fenced backyard as did Liam. Couldn’t eat at all of the nearby restaurants. Liam thoroughly enjoyed the walk to the Grayslake Lake/Park. Second stay at this home will stay again.
The bed was very comfortable. The living room sofa and chair were uncomfortable and the sofa placed in the wrong place to watch tv. Got a cricket in my neck from having to look sideways. Chairs with no arms are really not comfortable either. I would rearrange the furniture and put the sofa on the wall directly across and in front of the tv.
We appreciated the cleanliness of the house and the abundance of towels.
We absolutely loved our stay! The home was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. It’s located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood — perfect for relaxing and feeling right at home. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear the hosts take great pride in maintaining their property. Highly recommend this charming place!
