Really beautiful and safe neighborhood just 3 mins from the train station. Access to the city was really easy!Beds were very comfortable, the only thing I'd flag is the steep stairs may be difficult for elderly or people with mobility challenges. Other than that it's great spot for all.

My sister and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend to attend a My Chemical Romance concert, and we had an amazing time! This property was absolutely perfect for the two of us. It was super tidy and well kept, and we loved the neighborhood! We went on morning walks three out of our four day stay, and we loved the atmosphere of the neighborhood and surrounding areas. We walked on a trail close to the train tracks through the wooded area and it was so green and beautiful. We saw multiple wild bunnies in our yard during our stay as well as chipmunks and squirrels! Overall it was the perfect property for us as first timers to both Illinois and the Chicago area. I would absolutely stay here again.
We LOVED this seating area when the sun was starting to set and shining through the stained glass window

Great house

We had a long weekend stay while in town to visit family and loved the house as well as the location. We were close to everything. We hopped on the train a few days to go into the city, were close to all the places and people we wanted to see. My kids had never seen fireflies and loved having a yard to run around and catch them in. The host was very responsive and the renovations they have done were beautiful! Would definitely stay here again.

Nice for a quick visit to Wheaton College!

This is an older home that has been renovated into a cute rental. The place was clean when we arrived. The rooms were just as described in the listing. The only bathroom is upstairs. The only concern I had was that the stairs were those older home steep stairs and there were no handrails. We had our older parents with us and them going up and down made me quite nervous. It is near the train tracks, as are many places in Wheaton, so you did hear the trains coming through frequently.

Cute, clean cottage

This was a great place to stay for a short visit to Wheaton. It is very convenient to Wheaton College and downtown. Beds are comfortable and house is clean and well maintained. We appreciated the extra touches, like snacks and water bottles in the kitchen and fresh flowers on the table. Be aware that the staircases are narrow.

We Loved Our Stay!

Beautiful and cozy home! Location is centralized, safe and fantastic. This was our first visit to Wheaton, Illinois and we’re looking forward to visiting again. We were in town for a Christian conference. My husband and I stayed for three nights and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Extremely clean, comfortable, beautifully updated and lovingly decorated. Great neighborhood! We had everything that we needed. The property manager was welcoming and reached out in a timely manner with instructions for the easy to use front door lock before we arrived. We appreciated the little sign in the kitchen with house instructions that included the Wi-Fi code, etc. We felt so at home and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!
