Renovated space in a historic row house.

ToddRating, 5 stars3 days ago
Gary’s place was a great fit for myself and two teenage daughters. Nestled In between Wrigley ( via walking ) and downtown shopping (via train) and a short walk to the lake for sunrise. The residential area was beautiful, safe and clean with tree lined streets. Parking requires a little patience. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, nice and cool for the best sleeps. Gary reached out to ensure we were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

Historic Manor House Private Room #1 in Evanston

HeatherRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Janet's place was magnificent! She was so flexible with checking in, I was coming to town without a car and she accommodated me and made it convenient to check in. Her home is lovely and steps to the lake. Very walkable, in fact I walked 8 miles 1 day. Janet was warm and welcoming, giving us the history of the beautiful home renovation. I am a big home history buff so it was great. The neighborhood is filled with beautiful homes. Janet provided everything one would need. My stay was wonderful and Janet's restaurant recommendations were spot on. Thank you for a great restful stay.

House 1 minute from O'hare Airport

TomRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Stay went very smoothly and I would recommend for anyone seeing an event at Allstate arena(walking distance) or needing a place to stay flying thru O'Hare. Target and a wide variety of fast casual dining 1 min away. The listing mentioned a grill and that was unavailable, you may want to check with the host in advance if you are planning to use any amenities.
An outdoor deck features a circular table surrounded by six chairs, shaded by a large umbrella. The deck overlooks a calm lake, framed by greenery and colorful trees, creating a serene environment for relaxation.

House in the Park- 5 Min from O'Hare.

Paige Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
The hosts were incredibly nice! They truly did care about our stay. My stay consisted of recovering from a surgery. They went above and beyond to make sure I was safe and cared for! I got to enjoy the home and my husband got to go across the street to the beautiful park to fish. The questions we did have received quick responses every time. Next time we are in the area, we will be going back!

Words can’t describe how beautiful and clean the property and neighborhood is! The house is very spacious and modern. The basement is new, has a big room and bathroom with shower. The masters bedroom has a living room and GORGEOUS bathroom! The host provided cleaning supplies and even personal bathroom supplies for men and woman.

The little house felt like home while my husband and friends were in town for a co vent job. The place was clean, we had everything we needed, and the place was very thoughtfully organized and decorated. We found what we needed easily and had enough space easily for the group. Our hosts responded to messages when we had questions. Highly recommend staying here, the neighborhood is beautiful and safe and there’s lots of access to entertainment, food and shopping.

Amazing Location! Spacious Duplex Getaway

LydiaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Craig was very responsive both before our booking and upon our arrival. The place was beautiful and spotless; it looked and felt like a hotel but was also very homey. We enjoyed the lovely place and the town and the convenience of getting to local areas and going to Chicago. The house came with nice supplies in the bathrooms and nice quality linens, kitchen cookware, etc. The ping pong table was a nice addition. Definitely will stay again.

Family Friendly Stylish Villa Park Home!

OdezuligboRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I had an excellent stay at Jabeen’s house in Villa Park. The home was exactly as described, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was peaceful and quiet, perfect for a restful weekend. What truly made the experience stand out was the combination of thoughtful amenities and top-notch communication. I especially appreciated the fast Wi-Fi, well-stocked kitchen, reliable AC, and relaxing patio. When I mentioned that the blender wasn’t working, Jabeen immediately replaced it—an example of her responsiveness and attention throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place for families looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in the area. Would definitely return!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house was very roomy and comfortable. The kitchen had the equipment needed to cook We had plenty of towels for showers. The house was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach was nearby. A very relaxing visit. On Saturday afternoon we went to VIN for a wine tasting.
