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

ChrisyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
A really roomy and fantastic place overall. The location was perfect for our trip and for attending events at Allstate Arena. The interstate is very close and easy to access. There is a great lake/park right across the street. The kitchen was spacious and well appointed with a big fridge! The upstairs shower could be a little cleaner. We used the downstairs shower, which was roomier and had the really nice multi-function shower head. The oversized couches were super comfy after a long day out in the city. There were so many little great details that made the place just like home. We would definitely stay here again, with only one negative/caveat that hopefully will be corrected. Several windows were missing the locking mechanisms, which we discovered late on our last evening when a window opened itself (somehow/maybe airport vibration??). It is a quiet nice neighborhood that felt safe. We would highly recommend this place for a convenient/easy access and comfortable stay in Rosemont.

DuneHouse Miller Beach - 1.5 blocks to beach

BARBRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our family trip to Miller Beach. The house is beautiful, comfortable, casual & beachy; we utilized every area of the house- breakfast & coffee on the back terrace, cocktails on the front terrace, football on the tv upstairs, tennis on the tv downstairs, family dinners in the dining room, plenty of room in the living room for watching movies together. Loved all of the light in the house- we all felt like we were staying in a tree house! The kitchen was very well-appointed, so nice to have spices and every type of dish/pan/cooking utensil. The beach is beautiful- we walked down to the Dunes and hiked around there, gorgeous. The beach wagon is brilliant, all packed and ready to go. The dogs were in heaven exploring the safely fenced property. Communication with hosts was great. Had pizza & food delivered; we only left the property to hike & go the the beach. Perfect!

Kelly’s place was wonderful. There’s a lot to enjoy here from a wonderful backyard with a fire pit, a lovely front porch, a chill side porch with a grill, a second floor balcony, and a sun room.

Rivera House-fun and comfort steps from the beach

EmilyRating, 5 stars10 months ago
We had an absolutely lovely time! We took a family trip and the house was perfect for 6 adults and 5 kids. The beach was super close to walk to. The large house was perfect for everyone to have their own space. The spacious living room/kitchen was a great place to spend family time cooking, playing games, eating, etc where we could all be together but doing separate things. There were plenty of towels for everyone for that many days which surprised me! Inga had thought of everything! There was all the extras you might need too like cooking basics, sunscreen, flashlight, bug spray, beach chairs, toys, umbrellas! And the espresso machine was also a hit with our family! Thank you so much Inga for having us!! We made memories that will last a lifetime in your beautiful home!

Archways at the Lincoln Park Zoo 2bed/2ba

ChangRating, 5 stars1 week ago
I had an amazing time staying at this adorable Airbnb in Lincoln Park! The space was just as cute and cozy as the photos, and everything was super clean and well-maintained. Jessica was incredibly welcoming and responsive, which made the whole experience even better. The location was perfect—tucked into a charming neighborhood but still super convenient for exploring the city. I was able to catch a Cubs game at Wrigley Field and stroll through Millennium Park to see the Cloud Gate (the Bean), all without any hassle. I’d absolutely stay here again next time I’m in Chicago. Highly recommend!

Andersonville Living

ChristyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We 3 loved our stay at Joseph and William's place! The apartment was clean, bright, and filled with art. The kitchen was lovely, the beds were all comfortable and the shower was very hot. We loved the back deck, and I imagine it gets used so much in warmer weather. The location is perfect. We walked to restaurants and shops in Andersonville. It was just minutes from Loyola Univ. which is why we were in town.

We loved Patrick’s place. It’s located right in the dunes, next to the park, with a lovely walk down to the glorious beach. The house is lovely, with contemporary interiors, and very comfortable in all ways. A short drive gets you to downtown miller beach with places to eat out or pick up. Communication with Patrick was excellent. We highly recommend and hope to stay here again!

Miller Beach 'The Goldfinch' Mid-Century Retreat

AlishaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Loved the stay! This will be where I look to stay next time I am in town. Dog friendly made it even better because she's more like family. Booked this stay to lay my grandfather to rest and was able to make it an enjoyable and comfortable during a time of grief. The dining room table made for a great place to gather for meals and share bbq from the grill out back, and a great place to gather around to play games and share precious memories. The location was great just a few blocks from family members as well as the beach. I love the thoughtfulness that was put into things provided in the home and the chocolates she left were great. Made us feel at home away from home. Didn’t realize how much my dog loved the beach seeing as we don’t have any near our home in Texas. Hope to come back soon but this will definitely be the stay of choice for sure. Thank you so much!

This place is a great getaway. If your looking for a place in Miller Beach area and want to see copious amounts of varying wildlife just hanging around then this spot is just what your looking for. The host Blake is very responsive and respectful. I stayed for over a week with my dog and he didn’t want to leave. You won’t either.
