Evanston Garden Guest House

Step into a bright, private 2-bed guest house in the heart of Evanston! Just 1 mile to NU and 1.5 miles to Lighthouse Beach, this peaceful retreat offers a queen bed and a twin bed, complete with premium linens. A full kitchen, laundry, fast Wi-Fi, and a fenced-in yard with outdoor seating. Easy, free street parking and a beautiful greenway and parks at your doorstep, including a skate park, make this the perfect spot for small families, NU visitors, or anyone seeking a great stay. The Space Our private guest suite features two connected bedrooms, ideal for families or groups of friends. The main bedroom features a comfortable queen-size bed, a dresser, a closet, a ceiling fan, soft linens, and an abundance of natural light. The second sleeping area, separated by an open doorway (no door), includes a twin bed, built-in shelves, and a desk. The living room offers a comfortable space to unwind, featuring a sofa, TV, and a small dining table for meals or laptop work. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook, including a full-size fridge, oven, microwave, and coffee maker. You'll also have in-unit laundry and a private, peaceful fenced-in yard with outdoor seating—ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation.

Guests have private access to the entire guest house, including both bedrooms, the kitchen, the living area, the bathroom, the laundry facilities, and a fenced yard. The space has its own private entrance, although it is situated within a larger, owner-occupied home. You’ll enjoy complete privacy during your stay. Guests can text for assistance. Other Things to Note: Our guest house, situated on the ground floor with a few steps at the side entrance, provides a comfortable stay year-round, thanks to its heating, air conditioning, and strong Wi-Fi. We, the hosts, reside in the central part of the home and are available to assist if needed. However, we respect your privacy and strive to ensure your stay is uninterrupted.

Neighborhood Set in a serene, tree-lined Evanston neighborhood, our guest house offers seamless access to all the area's attractions. Northwestern University is a mere 1 mile away, while the picturesque Lighthouse Beach, perfect for lake views and swimming, is just 1.5 miles east. Families will appreciate the nearby parks, playgrounds, and bike paths, while downtown Evanston's charming shops, cafes, and Metra trains are a short distance away. Getting Around With free street parking right in front of the house, parking is a breeze. The CTA Purple Line and Metra stations are conveniently located 1 mile east, offering quick access to downtown Chicago. Northwestern, Lighthouse Beach, and several parks are all within a short drive or bike ride. Evanston's pedestrian- and bike-friendly reputation, along with easily accessible rideshares, make getting around a cinch.
