About this house rental
This is a single family home that was originally built and owned by a bootlegger during the prohibition period of the 1920's. He had a boat in nearby Belmont Harbor and would sail to Windsor Canada to pickup whiskey and then sell it from the backyard to locals. He was always on the lookout for cops. There is one remaining "escape door" in one of the bedrooms on the main level. We keep it locked, but it still works to get you outside fast.
Large enough to sleep 22 people with plenty of space to mix, mingle and play (including a foosball table). 2 car garage and outside pad for large vehicles. Awesome location in East Lakeview near Wrigley, Lincoln Park and more.

A unique property in a very safe, friendly neighborhood. The house was lovely, clean, in excellent repair with lots of room, beds, chairs, TVs, dining area, rooftop patio and everything you could possibly need. Walkable neighborhood with many places to eat and get groceries. Walked and took the bus. Garage was plenty big. Park your car and get out and see the city.

Just stayed here for the 3rd time! The owner/manager continues to keep the place in great shape and even seems to have added small “niceties” to the property. Many places you stay at over time, start to get “let-go” but this one just gets better. We’ll be looking to book again as soon as our next dates are set!!

Over all a great place to stay if you want to see the city and all the attractions. The house was clean. The Foosball table needs some work missing a couple of screws, lots of board games for the kids but a lot of them were missing pieces and need to be thrown out.

We stayed here in January to visit some family and enjoy the city. The location of this place is amazing. its right downtown , very walkable to everything. The parking is great, with the 2 car garage it was heaven for being in the city. The property is so nice. Its massive. upstairs and downstairs ; with room for so many people. We ended up only have four people ; and just loved it. The living room is so cozy, with the fireplace and sofas, the property was perfect. Matches all the pictures. And the host communication was perfect. Highly recommend !

First of all, this property was sooooo easy to travel to. I dont mind city driving, but I do get nervous driving downtown. It was so SIMPLE, literally fool proof!! Conveniently located a few blocks from 41 made for a stress-free 15 minute drive to Shedd Aquarium.The house is absolutely beautiful and in a great neighborhood. The property was very secure, neighbors were friendly, and tons of great places within walking distance. Gorgeous original architecture, built ins and stained glass. The interior is well furnished and nicely decorated. Beds and bedding were very comfortable. The house was filled with entertainment - several tv's, games, foosball, etc. It was too cold to enjoy the deck, but it looked like it could be a lot of fun in the warmer months. We have family in Chicagoland and surrounding areas and we will definitely be booking with Will again!!!

Stayed for a bachelor party. Nice neighborhood, short walk to wrigley with bars along the way to stop at. Only annoying thing was parking. While there is 3 spots (2 car garage, plus 1 on the small apron in front of the garage) you can not park more than 1 bigger vehicle there so we had to use the parking garage nearby. Luckily it was only 25/day.

This stay was a wow! Great neighborhood, off street parking, close to everything we wanted to do. Beautiful home with excellent furnishings and decor. Comfortable beds and quality linens. Nice kitchen.The living room with gas fireplace was so cozy. I would stay here again without hesitation.

It is rare to find a place in Chicago with room for so many to stay under one roof and which includes the bonus of garage parking. The neighborhood was safe and we found additional free street parking with no trouble. It was within walking distance to public transportation so we were able to take a bus to Lincoln Park Zoo to enjoy Zoo Lights. We also enjoyed a short walk to a local park. It was nice to have a sitting room upstairs to gather and another space downstairs. There was a high chair that came in handy and the large kitchen table was perfect.

We had a great time staying here for a family trip. Plenty of space for games, cooking, sleeping, talking. We only used a fraction of what was available. When we had trouble figuring out heating system, host was very responsive.

Dear Will,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for hosting us at your lovely property. We truly enjoyed our stay—your place was comfortable, well-appointed, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. We also appreciated the prompt response and neatly arranged house for hosting our group of friends.
we would gladly stay here again in the future. Thanks once again for providing such a great space!
Best regards,
Abhi

The Bootlegger House was a dream come true for a girls getaway. Will was a terrific communicator. The location was perfect. Within walking distance of groceries and many restaurants. Navy Pier and other sites were a short ride share away.
The house was beautiful. The rooftop deck a welcome amenity. The home was very spacious. we enjoyed the many places to gather. There was plenty of room for all of us.

Flew into town with a large group for a bachelor party. Walked up to Wrigley for an afternoon game, easily took the train downtown and to/from ORD, had a lot of fun at the myriad bars and restaurants in the area. The host was very accommodating and gracious, I couldn't recommend this place any higher.

Back to Chicago with a group for a work trip and of course we went back to the place we stayed at last time. Once you find a gem like this one, you stay with it! They keep this place with all the amenities you’d have at home. It’s incredibly spacious and the parking spots make it deal for a group. We’ll be back!! Jon

We are a broadcasting team for the Democratic Convention. We could not have had a better place to stay after our long work days. The location for restaurants was
fantastic. The size and style of the house was on point. A good stay for the crew.

We loved the location and the place was awesome! It was walking distance to Wrigley Field and the Zoo! Will was good with communication and responsive whenever we reached out. We encountered an issue with one of the toilets, and Will ordered the part for it immediately but it didn't arrive until after we left. It was an inconvenience to work around, but there wasn't much more he could do. Otherwise, we loved our time there and would definitely recommend it to others!

Wonderful location, plenty of room, thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were a group of 30-somethings in town for a weekend. Really enjoyed how close we were to the lake and to coffee shops, restaurants, and transit, but still on a quiet street. It was super convenient, really easy check in with door codes. We enjoyed the roof deck on one nice day, and overall had a great time. Lots of space for all of us! We would happily stay here again.

This house is perfect for large families. There is everything you need for cooking, sleeping, and just hanging out. The outdoor patio was a favorite with us all. It almost felt like being at home. We loved the large kitchen table and all of the games in the house. There was so much to do from ages 78 - 24 and so close
to everything. We loved there we could park 3 cars safely and did not have to worry about parking garages, or on street. The location was great and I would highly recommend this house to anyone. I know we will be back someday.

I grew up in Chicago and most of my family is there so when my Mom passed, of course we were going to Chicago where most of my family still lives. I wanted a place where the out of town people could come together. This was it...beds are comfy, kitchen has what you need. Exit is easy (garbage in bin and sheets by washer). Amazing dining room table for card games (how we roll). And history...which my Mom as lifelong Chicagoan would have lived.
Two car garage + parking pad awesome. Unconditionally recommend.

We had a wonderful time visiting Chicago! This property is located in a great neighborhood with lots of places within walking distance. We had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. Navy Pier and the River Walk were all a short drive away!

This place is a gem! Located a couple of blocks from the lake, you’ve got great access to the biking and running paths along the water. A few blocks to the west and you’ve got restaurants, shopping, etc.. it was awesome! The place itself is so well equipped with everything you could need. The bedroom count is great so the group could have their own bedrooms but what tops that is the amount of common space for hanging out. Can’t say how much we loved the place! We’ll be back…

Starting with the owner who was one of the best I have ever worked with, he promptly return all my calls, knew the area, was always accommodating, and was a professional at all times. The house was awesom, fully equipped with the best of appliances, had a large amount of kitchen ware, a large amount of bathroom supplies,bed linens and towels were plentiful, and there were many board games to playl
The house was spotless. The decor was beautiful. Excellent location.
Everyone in our party said they would highly recommend this property to stay at.

This kind host and well-appointed home-away-from-home helped us have a top 10 family reunion vacation.We accessed Chicago's best from here. Our group of 13 needed space to make meals and eat together, play gamesand have separate bedrooms. We couldn't believe our luck when we found this home within walking distance of Lake Michigan, transit and local restaurants. We were delighted by the amount of space, the smart functional layouts of each room, the quality of the furnishings and (for me) the décor and history of the home. It is hard to please 13 people, but we were ALL pleased. In the kitchen, we had all the tools we needed for cooking and serving, and they were good quality. Teflon pans in great condition, good knives, full sets of dishes and glasses, large refrigerator, gas range. The dining table had cloth covered chairs and generous seating. The huge living connected to a charming sunroom featuring two high-top tables, allowing everyone to find favorite spots for eating, conversation or games. The bedding was high quality with comfy sheets and pillows. The laundry room provided space for families to keep up with their wash in newer appliances that worked great. The rooftop provided another great gathering space. It's where we had morning yoga! On the 4th of July, we avoided the crowds and had our own rooftop BBQ. Home and garden decorating details such floral arrangements and giant hostas were icing on the cake for me. Will, our host was incredibly responsive throughout.

The neighborhood felt safe as we walked to Wrigley Field and restaurants. It was nice to have on-site parking for three cars. We had plenty of space for our family of ten. The kitchen was well stocked and the owner provided extra basic necessities. We would stay here again.

This was an amazing house! Seemingly infinite beds and bedrooms, but still with spacious common areas. The neighborhood is wonderful--easy walk to the lake with lots of restaurants and fun stores. Would 100% stay again.

This place was wonderful! It was so clean, had plenty of space for our group and had everything that we needed. Location was perfect! Even though we had a rental car, there was so much within walking distance. So many great restaurants. Having that garage to park in was the cherry on top!
