Relaxing Oak Park Home

The host was very helpful and made sure that all aspects of the stay were comfortable

The property was just as promised. And our host, Ray, was very kind and helpful. We would certainly stay there again.

This was our second stay here. The home had everything we needed. Great kitchen, plenty of space, nice neighborhood

Very good for our purposes. A base of operations for being with family.

My husband and I and our two adult sons came to Oak Park for a funeral and then a long weekend together. The house worked very well for us - three bedrooms and a roomy living room, dining room and kitchen. The neighborhood is wonderful - we walked to the Friendly Coffee Lounge every morning and had a quick drive to restaurants on Madison and Lake Streets. Our son swam in lap pool at nearby Rehm Park, and we squeezed in a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright home.

It was peaceful an nice. You did not have to go far for anything. The owner greeted us an was a very nice man. I definitely do it again.

This is a great place - a real Oak Park classic Craftsman house with original design features, lovingly maintained and updated where it matters. Our stay happened to coincide with a freak heatwave, and in spite of mid-90s temperatures and soupy humidity for most of the week, we were always cool and comfortable in the house. The neighborhood is safe and cheerful, with lots of interesting houses and well-tended gardens - just a really nice atmosphere. And the location is super-convenient: everything we needed was within walking distance, with Downtown Chicago is just a short drive away. Ray, our host, was extremely responsive and friendly. Would happily stay again!

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!

Nice place to stay. Very nice neighborhood.

Kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and bedrooms were all spacious and well-appointed. Beds were comfortable. House was warm and cozy.

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.

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.

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.

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.
