Great weekend getawat
My family stayed this past weekend and had absolutely no complaints. Property is as advertised and was very clean and comfortable. My last minute request to check out an hour late was met with understanding and flexibility. Neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. We would stay again. Thanks to our hosts for a great weekend 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!

Family Friendly With Everything You Need
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!

Weekend Getaway
Jim and Michele’s place was perfect for our friends weekend. It was very close to the metro line and easy to go into downtown when we wanted to. It was also walkable to downtown Oak Park which was very convenient. The house itself was in a quiet neighborhood and had a lot of charm. The house was also clean and had everything we needed during our stay.

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.

Very nice home in the Chicago suburbs. I'm a single traveler and I found the home and neighborhood comfortable and safe. Easy 7 minute walk to the "L". I travelled downtown and south to multiple destinations without having to drive. I highly recommend this home !

Amazing Place with attention to detail
We loved loved loved this property. Seemed like the owners read our minds; they had every single amenities availble. We just had to open a cabinet and the item was there, from oil, spices, coffee, tea and sugar and more. The place was decorated very tastefully and it was very comfortable to stay. Already planning the next stay in October 24.

Perfect location for visiting Chicago suburbs
This vrbo exceeded expectations from the photos. The vrbo was extemely clean, well maintained, and our dog enjoyed the yard. We also felt very safe walking at night and really enjoyed the proximity to Oak Park attractions, and the green line el stop is a 5 minute walk away. We intend to stay again when visiting the Chicago suburbs!

Best Home Away From Home
The property was wonderful. A nice clean home with just the right amount of feel of being at home. It felt so spacious and was nearby the cute downtown area. We did a lot of walking but it was so wonderful to have a space to park. The owners were so fast to respond and were so helpful when I realized I would be getting into town earlier than expected. Honestly I plan to book again when we go back to the Chicago area.

Perfect!
This was a great house for our family (3 boys. Ages 11, 11, 7) to stay in for a long weekend trip to check out some Chicago highlights. The bedrooms were comfortable, everything was clean and homey feeling! Appreciated the nightlight in the bathroom. Shower had plenty of hot water for everyone to shower after a long day of sightseeing. My boys enjoyed playing catch in the backyard and the neighborhood was quiet and very safe feeling. Parking was convenient in the back alley. My only "complaint" was lack of a clock in the living/dining room and bedrooms, only the stove/microwave clocks. My one kiddo is an early riser, but knows to stay in bed until atleast 6am; he missed his digital clock. So maybe we are just used to having them in every room at our own house. Ha! We ate at Lou Malnati's Pizzeria - deep dish pizza and pasta hit the spot! It was close by, parking was easy and food/service was excellent!! I would definitely recommend this location and house again!! Thank you for sharing ypur house with us!
