Lovely Weekend Getaway

Charming home just far away enough from the city to give a nice neighborhood vibe but close enough to drive in for sight-seeing. Our host met us at the house to point out different aspects of the residence and was able to give us tips about the surrounding area as well as transportation accomodations. Would highly recommend!

Great suburban location

If you don't mind driving or taking the train into Chicago, this spot was great. Lots of character in the little old house, and we could tell the owner was putting in a lot of effort to maintain its charm. The neighborhood is fantastic too...walking or a short drive to grocery, great restaurants, parks, etc. Would stay again!

The property owner Ray was friendly, accommodating and very polite and responsive to all our needs. He met us on arrival to ensure a smooth arrival and explained where everything was and how to access all we needed. Ray is quick to respond to all inquiries and nothing is too much bother. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ray and his home. It was clean, spacious and has everything you need home from home.

Excellent spot for lollapalooza!

Wanted a place to stay outside of Chicago for lollapalooza and this place did not disappoint! The house is gorgeous and in a great neighborhood. We walked to at least two different playgrounds and I felt very safe going out for runs. It was easy to walk to the train station and ride into the city. The host is also very friendly and gave us great local food recommendations.

quiet, safe and family-friendly stay in neighborhood

Our stay in this "Relaxing Oak Park Home" lived up to every one of our expectations. Our host Ray was super-helpful and informative before, during and after our stay. He was available and communicative when we needed him and conveniently several blocks away at his own home in the same neighborhood when we didn't. This handsome Craftsman-style Bungalow provides those that appreciate this style with a genuine experience of simplicity and minimalism typified by the early 20th century Arts & Crafts movement. At the same time, the modern decor, furnishings, appliances and fixtures blend well with the Craftsman aesthetic and vibe, providing guests with all the early 21st century conveniences expected in other VRBO listings. If you crave a quiet, relaxing stay in a safe and family-friendly neighborhood, within a short 5-10 minute walk to various amenities and local businesses in the vibrant Oak Park, Berman and Forest Park shopping districts, or a 25 minute drive or 40 minute train ride to downtown, this property is for you.

Great place, just one suggestion

The house was great, comfortable, clean and convenient. Ray was friendly and responsive. The only issue was that the sheets and towels were washed in a very perfume-y detergent and we’d have preferred fragrance free.

Perfect for our stay

We were in town for a long weekend to attend a k-pop concert at the United Center. This house was perfect not only because it was just a few driving minutes from the concert, but is located in a beautiful, safe neighborhood. The CTA, grocery store, and places to dine were all within a few blocks radius. Raymond met us when we arrived and he quickly responded to any questions we had. The house was beautiful and cozy and I would definitely stay here again!

We’ve stayed several times in Oak Park, and this place by far is the best place to stay. Quiet residential street, convenient to everything. It was spotless. Beautiful bathroom. Comfortable beds. Plenty of plush towels. Well stocked kitchen. Plenty of room, and Raymond, the owner, was terrific. I locked us out and broke the coffee pot. He was responsive and really nice about both things

Wonderful in all ways!!!

This property was absolutely perfect during our 3-day stay for our son's wedding in downtown Chicago, and a great value for 4 adults needing 3 bedrooms. The location is in a nice and quiet neighborhood -- zero outside noise (except for the thunderstorms), yet shops, eateries, etc. are just blocks away, while the I-294 ramp is a few minutes the other way (downtown is 20-ish minutes if traffic is OK). The house is exactly as stated, in a quaint, well-decorated, open concept yet historic home. Large modern kitchen and modern bathroom with walk-in shower, with large old-school bedrooms and lots of closet space. Big enclosed front porch and cute back porch/yard. Ring cameras/locks. Big TV with many channels. Ray is a great host, quickly accommodating us when we let him know we were running a couple hours later than expected, giving us access to the house, and meeting us just after our arrival with a friendly greeting and for any questions. Highly recommend!!!

We LOVED this home, centrally located to just about everything, walk to a couple of bars and great neighborhood and beautiful 105 year old home! Ray was a pleasure to communicate with and even did an in person meet and greet. Only recommendation is to add a few more mirrors, maybe back of bedroom doors to make it easier for getting ready when sharing a bathroom. Loved our stay and highly recommend!!!

The house was amazing, especially the space you get for the price. It’s located in a beautiful neighborhood with grocery store nearby. The house was so clean, great house with character. Raymond was so helpful at check in, and accommodated us as we underestimated traffic and came in an hour later than planned. Kitchen came equiped with everything we needed. If we ever come to Chicago again will definitely try to grab this place again.
