Oak Park - Chicago

This house was PERFECT for us during our time in Chicago. Located in a beautiful and quiet western suburb, it was lovely to return to after a day in the city. Very easy to take the El to get to and from downtown. The house was absolutely what the pictures show. Roomy and clean. I would definitely stay there again!!

Great home with easy access to city

House was very clean and in a great location for us visiting family in the town! If we needed to get to the city, it’s literally a block from the train or near enough to uber. We really appreciated the yard and dog crate for our pup. Check in and check out were extremely easy. Would definitely stay here again!

Awesome place

Great house and great neighborhood. It was also nice to have our own parking and not having to pay extra. Everything was very straightforward and l was initially worried because one of my kids is highly sensitive to scents and gets sick easily when exposed to that but I was happy to realize that the house was cleaned with non toxic products and was not scented but still smelled fresh and awesome .l will be booking with you again. Thank you

Quaint Home in Great Neighborhood

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at this property. It is very cute and conveniently located in a nice neighborhood (Oak Park/Forest Park areas) with easy access to 290 that takes you straight to the heart of downtown Chicago. The house had many amenities and you can tell the hosts are very considerate/thoughtful. Would highly recommend!

Great stay

The home is warm and inviting just like the pictures. Parking in the back of the house was easy. We cooked several times, pans, spices and dishes are available. The neighborhood is only about 20 minutes from downtown Chicago. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. We enjoyed our stay

Great stay

My friend and I used this property as home base for a weekend trip to Chicago. The green line is a 5 minute walk, and then 30 minute ride to downtown. We also stopped at the conservatory which was wonderful.The Frank Lloyd Wright house is a 20 minute walk. We ate at several restaurants within walking distance. Citrine was our favorite and the Broken Tart for coffee and cake.The house was very comfortable and well stocked. It is very clean. All the bedrooms are off street side, and very quiet. The dedicated parking spot was great. Parking is tricky in Chicago, so we never drove once we parked at the house. I would definitely recommend this house, we had a wonderful stay.

Great house, great location!

This is our second time staying at this lovely bungalow for a month. The location cannot be beat. Two blocks to the El, which takes you right into the Loop. It’s walking distance to shopping, restaurants and bars. It’s in a quiet friendly neighborhood. It has a completely fenced backyard, which was wonderful for us since we were traveling with our dog. The property is very well maintained and there are plenty of supplies and a well stocked kitchen. I would highly recommend this house!

This was my first experience booking anything on VRBO and it was such a positive experience. The property was exactly as pictured and described. I was pleasantly surprised to see that even cooking spices and oil were provided, as well as tea and coffee. The location was convenient for my family to visit Chicago and some of the other suburbs. I will definitely book again next time I am in Chicago.

Perfect home away from home

We had a fabulous stay at this beautiful, clean, wonderfully organized, well-stocked home. The location was in a beautiful neighborhood, yet only three minutes from Whole Foods and Walgreens, and an easy drive downtown and to surrounding suburbs. As a runner, I loved the gorgeous jog to and around Thatcher Woods. Having a designated parking spot was amazing. We were visiting family in the area, and will absolutely come back to this home on future visits. Thank you so much for this perfect home away from home!

Overall stay was amazing. Property had everything we needed. Only thing that caught us off guard was when we were checking out, we didn’t realize that people were coming to do yard work. It would have been nice to know ahead of time since they were opening gates and coming back and forth.
