O'Hare → Petite Lake: 45 min · Chicago Loop: 55 min · North Shore: 30–40 min
A rental home on the lake, a sauna built for two, a fire pit at the water's edge. No hotel lobby. No neighboring rooms. Just a key, the lake, and however long you've decided to stay. 45 minutes from Chicago O'Hare.
6-person Finnish-style Nordic cedar sauna with a lake-view window. Heat to 160°F, cold plunge in Petite Lake. Fits two comfortably.
Off-season especially, the sandy beach and swim area are yours. No crowds, no other guests, just the water.
Lakeside fire pit stocked and ready. Last light on the water, stars overhead, no one else around.
Two rental homes work best for couples looking for an intimate, waterfront stay.
All rental homes include access to the full PLR property, Nordic cedar sauna, sandy beach, fire pit, kayaks, and the dock. For the most private experience, consider booking off-peak when the property is quieter. See all rental options for current availability and pricing.
Anniversary. Birthday. First weekend away together. Or just because you're both tired and the lake doesn't need an explanation.
The lake doesn't ask why you're here. Neither do we. It's a rental home, a fire, a sauna, and somewhere quiet to remember what the week felt like before it got loud. That's the whole pitch. Sometimes that's enough.
Couples with dogs are welcome at PLR. Your dog gets the lake, the dock, and the trails, same as you.
Petite Lake Resort is one of the few genuinely dog-friendly lakefront properties on the Chain O' Lakes. Well-behaved dogs welcome with prior notice, no size restrictions. Lake swimming access and dog-friendly trails at Chain O' Lakes State Park are 20 minutes away. For all pet policy details, see the dog-friendly rentals page.
Leave Chicago after work on Friday. Be on the lake before dark.
