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!

Family time

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.

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!

Great place to stay

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.

Furniture

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 loved our stay at Mellow Yellow! A coworker and I were in the area for a 3-day conference and wanted a quiet place of our own. This place was perfect, clean and cozy. We especially appreciated the Keurig machine so we could have our morning (and sometimes evening) coffee in the comfort of "home". I would definitely stay here again!
