Great house

We had a long weekend stay while in town to visit family and loved the house as well as the location. We were close to everything. We hopped on the train a few days to go into the city, were close to all the places and people we wanted to see. My kids had never seen fireflies and loved having a yard to run around and catch them in. The host was very responsive and the renovations they have done were beautiful! Would definitely stay here again.

My sister and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend to attend a My Chemical Romance concert, and we had an amazing time! This property was absolutely perfect for the two of us. It was super tidy and well kept, and we loved the neighborhood! We went on morning walks three out of our four day stay, and we loved the atmosphere of the neighborhood and surrounding areas. We walked on a trail close to the train tracks through the wooded area and it was so green and beautiful. We saw multiple wild bunnies in our yard during our stay as well as chipmunks and squirrels! Overall it was the perfect property for us as first timers to both Illinois and the Chicago area. I would absolutely stay here again.
We LOVED this seating area when the sun was starting to set and shining through the stained glass window
