Best Things Nearby:
Chicago is close enough to go to every day if need be. Depending on traffic, it would take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. As long as you try to avoid rush hour, you should be okay.
Chicago is full of things to do, so you can never get bored with it. Even though this resort is outside of Chicago, it is nice to get out of the everyday hustle-and-bustle and relax at the resort.
Best Things About the Resort:
The resort offers everything you can think of. We took a few days to enjoy the amenities at the resort. They offer golf, horseback riding, boating at the on-site lake, a games room, and a pool. You name it, they had it. The rooms were very nice and well kept. We had a two-bedroom with two full baths. Each bedroom had its own private entrance to a bathroom.
Resort Experience:
Though the resort is out by itself with not much around, it doesn't take long to get to anywhere you would want to go. It gives you the best of both worlds. You can enjoy a nice relaxing vacation out in the country by just staying at the resort, or you can drive into the city and enjoy all of the excitement the city has to offer.
Once you get into the city, you can drive along Lakeshore Drive and enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Michigan. We went to the Navy Pier and enjoyed a boat cruise out on the lake.
If you decide to stay back at the resort, they offer a snack bar on site that has cheeseburgers, etc. so you can actually each a meal there and spend a full day at the resort without having to leave at all and still be entertained.
We stayed at this resort to go to a Beatles convention in Chicago. It worked out perfectly. We drove into downtown Chicago 2 days for the convention, then another 2 days to enjoy the sites. We spent the other 3 days enjoying the amenities at the resort. I would definitely recommend this resort.
