The house was very well-maintained, extremely clean and well set up for our family. This is the best vacation rental I’ve stayed in where the kitchen was properly stocked with enough pots and pans to make a proper meal! There’s a coffee maker, dishwasher, toaster, gas, stove, microwave, plenty of dishes and utensils. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels as well. It’s served us well for our four night stay. I would highly recommend staying here!

Navy Graduation

If your loved one is graduating from Great Lakes, this place is perfect. Great location, beautiful accommodations. The beds were so comfortable. It had everything you could need. Our sailor was super grateful for a "home" cooked meal. So much better than staying in a hotel.

I would recommend this house to anyone who has a larger family going to Bootcamp Graduation. Has lots of bed one room had 2 sets of bunk beds. The house was clean. Easy to get to the base for graduation. Not a lot around, but shopping and restaurants are really not far away. There is a bakery across the street was really good. Owner was very responsive. I would Stay there again if we needed to visit the base again. I feel fairly priced.

Beautiful home

The home was easy to find and the instrutions for the stay were very thorough. As soon as we walked in we were blown away by the home. It was a perfect place to stay that was a close drive to many local attrations. It is also close to base if you have a graduating sailor. We were very happy with our stay and if we make our way back to the area i would definitely book again!

We arrived 8-7-2024 to such a clean & perfect property for our family. Our sailor had plenty of room to chill out & relax. When my sailor found out he had an additional day of leave, it worked out for the host & adding a day was not a problem. I highly recommend this property.

Amazing stay for Navy graduation!!!

The property was exactly as described. Very clean, very comfortable, and an EXCELLENT location for our sailor’s Navy boot camp graduation. The kitchen was very well set up for making our sailor his favorite meals. We bought groceries, obviously, but appreciated that there was coffee, tea, and hot cocoa already there. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for Navy families. The host was great at communicating in a timely fashion & was helpful and friendly

Wonderful House

Highly recommend if you are a large family come to visit Chicago. We were up there for Navy Pass and Review. The house was close to base and train stations. The house was very clean and welcoming. We cooked many meals and had plenty of room to not be cramped like sardines. If we ever come up here again would rent this house again. The price was very affordable for a family of 10

Property is well maintained, everything was clean when we arrived and all pictures of the property were accurate. We had a plumbing concern while staying and the host was prompt coming over to address the situation immediately. Everyone had enough space we didn't feel like we were on top of each other, and the communal areas could fit everyone easily for meals or movie watching. We were in town to go to the Renaissance faire, 5 stars, would stay again.
