Family-friendly vacation rentals in Downers Grove

Great stay! Thanks for making it so easy. Big space for lots of family to be together and have space.

Everything was good just washing machine was not working and dish washer wasn’t operating good and there was enough toiletries

This was a lovely cottage and a great getaway from a busy Chicago life. We only spent a couple nights but we brought my dog and we just wanted to chill for a bit. Soaking in the hot tub was a must! The backyard was completely fenced in so my dog could roam and investigate while we enjoyed the hot tub under strings of yard lights, creating a peaceful vibe. Loved it! We cooked a lot (inside) since the weather was cool and windy and the well-stocked kitchen was much appreciated. Great coffee machine (bring your own coffee!) and dishwasher. They came in very handy. Comfortable beds, clean linens, adjustable thermostat with easy instructions, extra blankets and pillows... all you'll need to feel at home. Thank you for a great time and we can't wait to come back. Next time we're bringing our friends!

This is a wonderful spot. The place was totally immaculate, Bryan was very responsive and accommodated us arriving early. The place has everything you could want/need. We would definitely stay again!

i loved this airbnb, great spot if you just want to explore chicago. max was super quick with responses and helpful with any questions i had.

Great house with lots amenities. Hilary was very responsive and accommodating.

We had a great stay at Delphine's place in Uptown. The location is excellent, being on a tree-lined street, but very close to the Red Line, the Broadway bus, Andersonville, Little Asia, grocery stores and more. As we had a little kid, being right on top of the little park downstairs was also very convenient. On the flipside, it can get noisy in the summer with lots of kids/playgroups coming there, but as parents, we didn't mind. Delphine herself was very quick to respond via Whatsapp to all our queries before and during our stay. One thing to keep in mind at her place is that you are very much living in their home. If you are looking for an apartment that is only intended for guests, this is not it. While it is plenty big as a 2BR/2BA, it is full of stuff, furniture, photos, books, toys, etc. They have made a very nice office space in the main living area, but the drawback is that the living area is now very cramped. The main bedroom has 2 queen size beds in it, which is a bit weird, so we just ended up using one bed to keep our clothes on. The other bedroom with bunk beds is excellent for kids and more spacious. So overall, a great place and a great stay, and especially good if you are a couple with 1 or 2 kids. Just a bit cramped and crowded with stuff. We stayed for 2 weeks.

I’ve been to Chicago many times but never to Wrigley Field. This place was amazing, just what we needed! It was faster to walk (20 minute walk) to and from the concert at Wrigley Field than to drive and park, taxi or Lyft. I communicated with the host about safety of walking at night. No problem. I had sent a message and he called me immediately. And also gave me recommendations on food and shopping that were spot on! We met locals and had a blast! The neighborhood is quiet and easy to park (but you do need to be able to parallel park and no one in the area drives big vehicles,.. only a few minute drive to downtown (Navy Pier area or take the L train for fast and cheap transportation without the hassle of parking). We were busy the entire time in the Chicago area so didn’t spend much time at the Airbnb but it was quiet, we slept great and just what we needed!

Beautiful location, close to transit and very walkable to great lunch and coffee spots and a local grocery store. I especially appreciated all the details like gorgeous plants in every room and every utensil you might need for you r stay. Hosts were welcoming and provided excellent local recommendations.

Very comfy apartment in a great neighborhood. We were in town for a baseball game and it’s a terrific place for that, just about a 20-minute walk to Wrigley Field. The only thing to be concerned about is the stairs: there are two flights to get into the apartment and they’re fairly steep and small, so if you have mobility issues that would be a concern. I don’t and had no problem. Karen is a lovely host and was very helpful when I was getting into the place and unloading my stuff from my car. There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops in the area, so it’s a great place to explore and hang out.

Loved, loved, loved Liz and Martin's place. Beautiful, clean, comfortable, and within walking distance to the blue line. We were able to park our car and not have to get back in it for our entire stay. Great neighborhood with great restaurants and bars nearby. We would definitely stay with them again!

We loved this cute, Craftman-style apartment. It was so homey and well arranged, nicely furnished, and beautifully decorated that we seriously wanted to move in! The owners were very thoughtful about providing what visitors will need. (They even provided a spare umbrella!) Everything was exactly as described, and communication was friendly and prompt. The only issue we had was trying to find on-street parking. We had to park several blocks away and, sadly, our car was stolen from that parking spot. Otherwise, it was a lovely neighborhood and a convenient location. Despite the parking problems, I would stay there again.

Lovely flat, excellent collection of games and books. Very well stocked, super clean. Hosts were very friendly and responsive.

great stay, super clean apartment, great communication on keith’s end would definitely stay again. thank you for accommodating me!

This place is a jem in the heart of an old town. Walkable distance to great restaurants and train station. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. For us it was a perfect place to come back to after a day of exploring Chicago. Robert, the host, is super responsive and is very pleasant. Highly recommended!

The location is perfect for getting to any part of Chicago. It's within walking distance of endless activities, and within one to two blocks of multiple "L" and subway lines that will take you anywhere. You are staying in the middle of the city, so you will hear the train and sirens throughout the night; however, the host provides disposable ear plugs which were very helpful. I had no problem sleeping throughout the night. Front desk staff is always friendly. The host is very responsive, and courteous. Washer and dryer in unit helped me with not having to pack as many cloths for my trip. Everything was spotless upon arrival. Would absolutely stay here again.

Second stay. Rose accomplishes blending comfortable clean accommodations with a relaxed and folksy vibe. Recommended!

Absolutely loved staying at Sylvia's! The camper is very conveniently located within the park - close to all the amenities and activities! Easy to access, beautiful grounds and a very peaceful stay for my family and I.

Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!

Great location in downtown Chicago with easy access to the city.

A great stay right near a Main Street. Tons of options for going out but still quiet in your space. Warning. You will smell the BBQ restaurant and you will salivating.

Beautiful house and surroundings. Great place to relax with a large family gathering. Lots for kids to do inside and out. We enjoyed the pool, fire pit, and sports areas. Hosts were very responsive and friendly.

Just what I wanted, a nice basic cabin to camp with my dogs. Lots of family activities and a great little dog park and paths to walk the dogs without disturbing other campers. Good bathrooms and showers. Firewood delivered to your camp site. I’ll be back whenever I need a little getaway 🙂.
