What to Pack for an Indoor Pool Stay Near Chicago
Use this packing checklist before leaving Chicago for your indoor pool house stay. Bring what your group needs for swimming, meals and a comfortable night at our entire home in Crystal Lake, Illinois. Your reservation includes the heated indoor pool and traditional sauna for up to 6 overnight guests.
Your Indoor Pool House Packing Checklist
Pack for both swimming and an overnight home stay. This checklist is for guests travelling from Chicago to Crystal Lake Pool House in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It is a preparation guide, not an inventory of supplied items. For any essential item, confirm availability with the host before leaving.
Swim bag
Bring swimwear for each guest, personal goggles if you use them, a dry change of clothes and a bag for wet swim items on the journey home. Bring non-glass water containers. Ask the host if you need a specific towel or swim accessory supplied. Do not pack glassware for use around the pool.
Children and supervision
Bring the personal items your children use for meals, sleep and comfort. Life jackets are available at the house, but sizes and suitability must be checked; discuss any specific requirement before travelling. A life jacket does not replace supervision. Decide which adult is actively supervising before children enter the pool area. The pool is approximately 5 to 14 feet deep and has no lifeguard.
Kitchen and meals
Plan your first dinner and departure-morning breakfast. Pack the groceries, spices and personal ingredients you need. Check with the host about a specific cookware item or appliance rather than assuming it is provided. The home includes a kitchen, backyard and grill, but outdoor cooking plans should take weather into account. Clean the grill after use if you use it.
For the overnight stay
Bring clothing, toiletries, chargers, any personal essentials and quiet entertainment your group enjoys. Check the Airbnb listing for bedroom arrangements. The home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and a maximum of six overnight guests. Do not assume extra sleeping capacity from the living-room couch.
Keep arrival information handy
Save the booking details and host's check-in instructions where you can find them. Plan travel to Crystal Lake using your actual starting address. Standard check-in begins at 4 PM. Early arrival must be approved in advance. Include every overnight guest in the reservation and ask the host before inviting daytime visitors.
Before you leave the house
Allow enough time to pack wet items, check bedrooms and bathrooms for personal belongings, and follow checkout instructions. Checkout is at 10 AM; a final swim should not delay departure. Quiet hours are 10 PM to 8 AM. Leave glass out of the pool area throughout the stay.
Your overnight reservation includes the entire home, private heated indoor pool and traditional sauna. The sauna is an optional additional amenity; follow its posted instructions. The property does not offer hourly pool sessions or day passes.
