A warm welcome to Shady Oaks Bed & Breakfast which is conveniently located 37 miles from the Chicago loop in the heart of the Northwest suburbs. The Dutch colonial shingle style cottage was originally built in 1904 by the Kohl family as a summer rooming house. In 2000 the Branding family bought Shady Oaks and completely renovated it. Nestled on the eastern shore of Lake Zurich, guests can enjoy the lake views and sunsets from porches, patios and balconies overlooking the lake.
