Stayed Oct 16, 2025Great safe neighborhood with good parking, fun shops, restaurants and wonderful bakery within a block. We felt very safe wandering the area. So convenient to catch the train into downtown Chicago. Loved the retro touches. Is it odd that I noticed the dish drainer tied in with the pattern on the kitchen backsplash? Info says the cottage sleeps up to 6, but I would limit to a couple with maybe one small child. One negative. . .the queen bed was comfortable for sleeping, but sits too low to the floor for older folks with bad knees.

Stayed Sep 20, 2025My boyfriend and I spent a lovely weekend getaway in Chicago and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. This cozy cottage was exactly what we needed-clean, thoughtfully decorated, and nestled in a quiet, charming neighborhood that felt like a peaceful retreat from the city. The host was incredibly kind and attentive, checking in before and during our stay to make sure everything was going smoothly. That level of care made us feel truly welcomed.We especially appreciated the private driveway just steps from the door-it made coming and going so easy. The in-unit washer and dryer were also a great convenience. The home is clearly designed with families in mind, offering thoughtful touches that make it welcoming for guests with children.If you’re looking to enjoy Chicago while staying outside the hustle and bustle, I highly recommend this cottage. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and charm.

Stayed Apr 28, 2025Great little place. I enjoyed being able to cook but you gotta bring your own spices and olive oil if you are a serious cook as only salt and pepper are available. Great privacy. The highway is quite noisy so hanging outside is not really pleasant

Stayed Mar 6, 2025Lovely little cottage in great location with excellent restaurants close by. Had everything we needed for our stay. Kitchen was perfectly equipped and having the washer dryer was such a bonus. The communication with the landlord was very good. Would absolutely stay here again.

Stayed Sep 29, 2024I could not have asked for an easier spot in order to get to downtown Oak Park (5 minute Uber), train access to downtown Chicago (1 minute walk) and breakfast right around the corner. As high traffic as it might sound there was essentially no residual noise from any of it. Quiet, clean and cozy. I highly recommend this cottage!

Stayed Oct 4, 2024The cottage was as advertised and served as a great home-base for a birthday weekend spent biking around greater Chicago with a friend in celebration of our birthdays. Great communication with the owner and the cottage had everything we needed.
