This was a gem of a place for my dogs and I to stay for a week … one of the rare places that looked great online but was even better in person. Very private and clean with plenty of sleeping options, a fully stacked kitchen, extra towels and sheets, a beautiful living room with exposed brick and wood ceilings and a large fire tv, a private large fenced yard perfect for dogs, and close proximity to lots of food options. The management team was very hospitable and responsive all throughout my stay with a seamless check in, would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for anyone looking for an entire home stay in the Chicagoland area

My girlfriend and I had a great stay here! The house was very neat, well-kept, and had all the amenities we needed — plus a few thoughtful extras. It had a really homey feel, which made it easy to settle in and feel comfortable right away. Even though it was just the two of us, the house is super spacious — it could easily fit two families. The pictures in the listing are 100% accurate — what you see is exactly what you get, which was really reassuring when we arrived. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet during our stay, and communication with the host was smooth and easy the whole time. The location is also a big plus: there’s plenty to do nearby, and Chicago is close enough for day trips, but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet when you’re back at the house. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a stay in the area, and I’ll absolutely try to book again next time I’m around!

We were really comfortable from the start. The hosts were responsive, the house was easy to find, in a nice neighborhood and getting in with the lock app was super quick! Beautifully clean home, nice comfortable furniture. Kitchen was well stocked and sparkling clean. Plenty of room, inside and out. We would definitely go back.
