Family-friendly vacation rentals in Libertyville

Christine’s place was the perfect get-away for a family vacation close to home. The lake was beautiful and the place was spotless and inviting. It felt like you walked in to your own home. It’s close to places to eat and there is even a community space just a few houses down that is lively if the weather is nice. I’m hoping to come back again!

This was our second visit to Amanda’s and just like the first time, it left my boys with fun memories. We will be back next summer.

Our host was extremely tentative and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at the home. It was big enough to accommodate our family plus a few other visitors, plenty of beds, plenty of living space so people didn’t have to be on top of each other. Very close to downtown and the blue line which made going to the airport and downtown much more accessible. we didn’t even have to rent a car.

Every year we visit Cypress there are more improves and amenities. Always a great stay and so much to do. Amanda and her team run this place like a well oiled machine. We visit once in the winter and once or twice in the summer. A favorite for sure.

Amanda is the best host I’ve ever had, she is so friendly and responsive. Her kitchen was fully equipped, she gave us the option of having firewood delivered, the place is absolutely beautiful, you walk down some stairs to get to the beach. A group of 8 moms went there for a weekend getaway and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

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.

Great host. Really looked after us and communicated very well.

Very nice place to host our large family Christmas gathering. Plenty of room for everybody. The game room was very much appreciated and well used.

Loved our stay. Cool neighborhood with lots to do in the direct area. Great advice from Kyle about where to go. Would definitely stay again!

Alexandra’s place was a great place to stay for our group. We had two families, including 7 children, and it was great to find a place with so many queen beds to accommodate all our different sleeping needs, that also had easy access to public transit and neighborhood attractions and still had a great space where we could gather and have all of us play games/eat together comfortably after a day in the city. This was a very good experience.

Jamie’s place was a perfect spot to stay in Chicago. There is access to the L within a few miles (with parking structure), and there are many walkable places locally. We highly recommend Caesar Pierogis on West Irving (offers gluten free pierogis). The neighborhood is charming and safe for walking. After long days of exploring, we came back to Jamie’s place and enjoyed watching Netflix and relaxing in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with utensils, and there is a grocery store within walking distance. Jamie is a very thoughtful host, and her home is quite accommodating. We had a lovely get away. Thank you, Jamie!

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.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here, and it is always exactly what I need. The space is great, the neighborhood is safe, and there's a Lou Malnatis and Portillos within a 15 min drive. Will definitely stay again!

Definitely a great weekend! The look, and feel of the place was very comforting, and had a great flow. Design was tasteful, and anything that was needed was right where you’d expect it to be! A definite recommend!

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

Tracy's home is clean, comfortable, and feels like a great home to return to when you are visiting Evanston. we didn't get a chance to cook in their fabulous kitchen, but I plan to next time!!

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!

I had an amazing stay at this place. Felt like home.The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure every detail was perfect. The location was ideal, close to local attractions yet peaceful and quiet. It truly felt like a home away from home, and I can’t wait to book again for my next trip. Highly recommended!

Fantastic location, felt incredibly safe, and was exactly as described. Great space and made for the perfect spot for our family during our stay in Chicago. Would absolutely return.

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.

Kristi’s place was exactly as described. I had contacted Kristi on two occasions with questions prior to my arrival and within a matter of minutes, I had a response. I’d recommend Kristi’s place!

Stephen was a welcoming host and the cabin was exactly as described. The location is secluded and quiet, but you’re also close to groceries, restaurants and fun antique stores. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals, and the fireplace is cozy and perfect for relaxing. Even with snow on the ground we enjoyed strolling around the property down to the lake. A wonderful stay, we’d love to visit again.

The place is unbelievably well located! One block away from the Chicago Riverwalk and one block from the world famous Michigan Av. You can walk anywhere from here, including Lincoln park, the Hancock tower, Willis tower and the millennium park. Awesome place. It is noisy though! But that’s the price you pay for being right in the center of the action! The place is lovely, comfortable and very nicely furnished!
