Spacious Chicagoland Retreat with Hot Tub + Fireplace Sleeps 8+

This air bnb is really interesting. There is one shower and it’s downstairs but there is a bathroom upstairs just no shower. The main bedroom bed is very low to the ground and the mattress is not ideal but we were only there three days so not a deal breaker. The outdoor space was great and we appreciated having a decent size couch and table. Glassware is weird odds and ends and the trash was deceptively hard to find but we figured it all out. The street was quiet and parking was no problem. I was a little weirded out by the two rooms in the basement off the laundry room- I would have closed those off for storage - they looked like safe rooms without windows where multiple tv monitors were once hung on the walls and they were kind of strange but also not a deal breaker. I would probably stay here again as there isn’t much in the area and the price was decent.

Beautiful house. Super clean, everything we needed and more was provided. It has a beautiful fenced backyard and the hot tub was so relaxing after a long day in the car. There were only two of us on this trip, but this house is perfect for a big group and can sleep a ton of people. I would totally stay here again!

Very comfortable home in a nice neighborhood. Lisa was very responsive and a great host.

I hate writing a review when I can't give a full 5 stars, but for the sake of future guests, I must be honest.I appreciate the fact that the house was clean and the hot tub functional! One thing that really stood out at this property was the various sleep options. Coming in with kids, they were happy to be able to bring together couch, ottoman, expandable bean bag and sleep all in the same area. So if you have a bunch of little kids, that is great!Unfortunately we also came in and couldn't have dinner on time because we found that the dishwasher full of dirty dishes hadn't even been started. The AC was COLD in the lower level but couldn't keep up on the main floor due to old windows. So if the AC was cold enough for the upstairs, you were freezing down stairs, and if you wanted to be comfortable downstairs, you were suffocating upstairs. That was quite frustrating since we needed to use both levels. The biggest issue was the rug in the downstairs area. I was just walking through, took 1 step and slipped and fell on Both of my knees hard! We finally bunched up the rug and moved it out of the way because it was a serious problem for anyone trying to walk through. Finally, it was a bit annoying how many personal items were in the house, specially in the bathroom and kitchen. It gave the impression of someone moving, but then leaving behind everything they didn't want.
