Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Elgin

The house had plenty of room for my family of 10. We truly appreciated all of the extra things to do at the house. The pool table/ping pong table was a hit for the young adults. The fact that they had enough kayaks that the young adults could go out in a group was a huge plus. The only negative I would say is the amount of lily pads in front of the house didn’t allow for swimming off the dock or fishing. Obviously this is not the fault of the owner so we made the best of it.

Great place to Spend the night or even a week. Our fight to Miami got canceled and his place was the perfect place for our family of 5 to spend the night. Friendly and responsive would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Chicago.

Lovely place in a good location.

Tucked along the quiet northern edge of Antioch, this house doesn’t just offer a place to stay - it gives you something to feel. Vaulted ceilings, custom barnwood beds, and raw concrete countertops set the tone: warm, solid, and built with intent. The private beach isn’t flashy - it’s better. Soft sand, still water, and no reason to rush. Grill outside, gather at the big family-style table, then sweat it all out in the sauna that feels like it was made to erase stress. The beds hit the sweet spot between firm and forgiving. Every corner of the place feels curated without being pretentious. Jewel is just up the road if you need supplies, but you’ll quickly forget the outside world exists. And Waylon? The kind of host you rarely get - quick to respond, genuinely helpful, and fully dialed in without hovering. This isn’t just a weekend rental - it’s the kind of place that makes you rethink how you spend your time off. You’ll leave better than you arrived.

Alex is a great host! Dog friendly places are hard to find and his place made my dog feel super comfortable. Love this place and definitely will be back.

This is a very beautiful house with TONS of space, big and perfect for my healing retreat, I hosted 9 ladies, the backyard is huge plus there was an outdoor event area. The place looked exactly like pictures, clean, host was responsive and polite. The house is very relaxing and peaceful. I would definitely recommend!

Quiet neighborhood, spacious and comfortable home. The yard is inviting and a great entertaining space! Very kind hosts.

This small quaint home packs a HUGE punch when it comes to amenities and that home away from home feel. We couldn't have asked for more in an airbnb during our stay in the Chicago area. From the kuerig, to the decor, to the hot tub to the amazing bathroom and shower, this Airbnb had everything we needed and everything we didn't even know we wanted. I would HIGHLY recommend this airbnb along with the amazing and attentive hosts to anyone traveling through the area.

Jenny went above and beyond! She was super communicative & very friendly. She even let me check in before checkin time, which I greatly appreciated. The apartment has literally everything you need. All the little details and small things you could want, are there. I would highly recommend staying here for a longer extent of time, as you would feel as if you’re in your own home.

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!

James is exactly the kind of airbnb owner you look for! House was extrmely clean and comfortable with lots of amenities! Highly recommend!

Nice place to stay in a good neighborhood! Would stay here again, thank you!

Craig was extremely nice and accommodating when it came to my birthday weekend. He responds quickly to all questions asked and makes sure we’re comfortable at all times. This home was clean, accurately described, and had the perfect “home feeling”. Overall, when visiting the area I will be booking here again !

Great location! The place was very easy to find and within walking distance some really good restaurants. Loved our stay!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful space. It was perfect to spend time as a family while moving our daughter in Logan Square. The park nearby was so easy to manage for our dog who joined us. Paul was responsive and helpful. Got to meet his pup who was adorable. Will definitely stay here again

The hosts were very responsive to any questions. They live in the same building and helped with any concerns right away. The space was very homey and comfortable, with convenient bus stops nearby. There were plenty of books, movies, and games if you have time to kill at the apartment. You can hear a lot of footsteps from upstairs neighbors, but usually it wasn't too loud and the provided earplugs were helpful. The neighborhood felt safe and family-friendly. It felt like we were staying with good friends. We highly recommend this place and would stay there again.

We enjoyed our stay. John works hard to offer the best experience to his guests. The place was super clean and welcoming. Photos are matching. Close to everything with UBER. Some restaurants are located in the block. I recommend this appartement.

Joan's daughter, Rebekah, communicated directly with me through the Airbnb app. She provided detailed check-in instructions, a phone number to contact her, etc. It seems Rebekah lives in Hawaii so please keep note of that for response times, etc. The house was comfortable, very clean, and well-appointed. Joan and Rebekah have a beautiful collection of original art, artifacts, etc. so please keep that in mind if you are bringing small children to the home. Please note that the 1st floor bedroom has a king bed and full bathroom; and the lower level has 2 twin beds in the open area, 1 full bed and 1 twin bed in the first bedroom, and 1 full bed and 1 futon in the second bedroom (including a full laundry and utility room in a closed room).

Convenient stay right outside of the heart of downtown Chicago! Easy to drive into town for the day. Very comfortable beds and very clean as well. Would recommend

Neel went above and beyond for my family and I during our stay. The unit was quiet, fun to hang out in, extremely clean, great layout for a family, very convenient parking, and quiet. I would highly recommend staying here! Thank you Neel!

Loved The Space! Everything Was Perfect! Any Problems Or Any Questions Daniel Was Very Helpful! THANK YOU DANIEL

This place was awesome. Felt very homie and comfortable. I love the decor and that there was a TV in each room. This place was beautiful and i wouldn’t mind staying again.

This was our favorite spot in Chicago thus far! The location was amazing, so close to everything! My 7 y/o is obsessed with the Sears Tower and was thrilled we could see it from our window! :) The place was clean and beds were super comfy. Would totally stay there again! Thank you, Michael!

We had a wonderful weekend at this 3-bedroom Airbnb in Chicago! The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The bedrooms were spacious with cozy beds, and the living area was perfect for relaxing after exploring the city. If you're looking for a clean, stylish, and well-located place to stay in Chicago, this is it! Highly recommend and would definitely book again.
