About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Chicago Bootlegger House Sleeps 11-22 with 3 parking spots

This is a single family home that was originally built and owned by a bootlegger during the prohibition period of the 1920's. He had a boat in nearby Belmont Harbor and would sail to Windsor Canada to pickup whiskey and then sell it from the backyard to locals. He was always on the lookout for cops. There is one remaining "escape door" in one of the bedrooms on the main level. We keep it locked, but it still works to get you outside fast.

Large enough to sleep 22 people with plenty of space to mix, mingle and play (including a foosball table). 2 car garage and outside pad for large vehicles. Awesome location in East Lakeview near Wrigley, Lincoln Park and more.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard. Limited housekeeping is available.

Amazing location ; amazing house

We stayed here in January to visit some family and enjoy the city. The location of this place is amazing. its right downtown , very walkable to everything. The parking is great, with the 2 car garage it was heaven for being in the city. The property is so nice. Its massive. upstairs and downstairs ; with room for so many people. We ended up only have four people ; and just loved it. The living room is so cozy, with the fireplace and sofas, the property was perfect. Matches all the pictures. And the host communication was perfect. Highly recommend !

Classy and Convenient!!

First of all, this property was sooooo easy to travel to. I dont mind city driving, but I do get nervous driving downtown. It was so SIMPLE, literally fool proof!! Conveniently located a few blocks from 41 made for a stress-free 15 minute drive to Shedd Aquarium.The house is absolutely beautiful and in a great neighborhood. The property was very secure, neighbors were friendly, and tons of great places within walking distance. Gorgeous original architecture, built ins and stained glass. The interior is well furnished and nicely decorated. Beds and bedding were very comfortable. The house was filled with entertainment - several tv's, games, foosball, etc. It was too cold to enjoy the deck, but it looked like it could be a lot of fun in the warmer months. We have family in Chicagoland and surrounding areas and we will definitely be booking with Will again!!!

Perfect for a bachelor party

Stayed for a bachelor party. Nice neighborhood, short walk to wrigley with bars along the way to stop at. Only annoying thing was parking. While there is 3 spots (2 car garage, plus 1 on the small apron in front of the garage) you can not park more than 1 bigger vehicle there so we had to use the parking garage nearby. Luckily it was only 25/day.

Great find.

It is rare to find a place in Chicago with room for so many to stay under one roof and which includes the bonus of garage parking. The neighborhood was safe and we found additional free street parking with no trouble. It was within walking distance to public transportation so we were able to take a bus to Lincoln Park Zoo to enjoy Zoo Lights. We also enjoyed a short walk to a local park. It was nice to have a sitting room upstairs to gather and another space downstairs. There was a high chair that came in handy and the large kitchen table was perfect.

Beauty and convenience

The Bootlegger House was a dream come true for a girls getaway. Will was a terrific communicator. The location was perfect. Within walking distance of groceries and many restaurants. Navy Pier and other sites were a short ride share away. The house was beautiful. The rooftop deck a welcome amenity. The home was very spacious. we enjoyed the many places to gather. There was plenty of room for all of us.

Fantastic stay at the bootlegger

Flew into town with a large group for a bachelor party. Walked up to Wrigley for an afternoon game, easily took the train downtown and to/from ORD, had a lot of fun at the myriad bars and restaurants in the area. The host was very accommodating and gracious, I couldn't recommend this place any higher.

Back to Chicago with a group for a work trip and of course we went back to the place we stayed at last time. Once you find a gem like this one, you stay with it! They keep this place with all the amenities you’d have at home. It’s incredibly spacious and the parking spots make it deal for a group. We’ll be back!! Jon

Great stay!

We loved the location and the place was awesome! It was walking distance to Wrigley Field and the Zoo! Will was good with communication and responsive whenever we reached out. We encountered an issue with one of the toilets, and Will ordered the part for it immediately but it didn't arrive until after we left. It was an inconvenience to work around, but there wasn't much more he could do. Otherwise, we loved our time there and would definitely recommend it to others!

Great stay, lots of space

Wonderful location, plenty of room, thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were a group of 30-somethings in town for a weekend. Really enjoyed how close we were to the lake and to coffee shops, restaurants, and transit, but still on a quiet street. It was super convenient, really easy check in with door codes. We enjoyed the roof deck on one nice day, and overall had a great time. Lots of space for all of us! We would happily stay here again.

Wonderful place for large families - highly recommend

This house is perfect for large families. There is everything you need for cooking, sleeping, and just hanging out. The outdoor patio was a favorite with us all. It almost felt like being at home. We loved the large kitchen table and all of the games in the house. There was so much to do from ages 78 - 24 and so close to everything. We loved there we could park 3 cars safely and did not have to worry about parking garages, or on street. The location was great and I would highly recommend this house to anyone. I know we will be back someday.

Better Than the Pictures

I grew up in Chicago and most of my family is there so when my Mom passed, of course we were going to Chicago where most of my family still lives. I wanted a place where the out of town people could come together. This was it...beds are comfy, kitchen has what you need. Exit is easy (garbage in bin and sheets by washer). Amazing dining room table for card games (how we roll). And history...which my Mom as lifelong Chicagoan would have lived. Two car garage + parking pad awesome. Unconditionally recommend. Michelle
