Book this house, you will not regret it! This house in Oak Park is a perfect home away from home. The house was clean, the appliances updated, the bed and pillows were comfortable, and we had plenty of towels. The bathroom updates are gorgeous, and we had plenty of hot water. Beyond the house, the neighborhood is a quiet and serene sanctuary. You can safely stroll around this neighborhood and see the lovely historic homes and gardens. We kept our eighteen-month-old granddaughter during our stay and had easy access to a wonderful park. In the backyard, there is a deck and small private yard. Restaurants and grocery stores are just down the street with enough options to satisfy everyone. You have everything you need in very near proximity, but should you want to venture to the city, the train station is super close! Our host, Ray, went out of his way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. He is, without a doubt, the best host we’ve ever had. He took the time to greet us personally and make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He left clear instructions for the check-in and out process. He was very quick to respond to our messages and even tolerated our questions about the artwork and architecture of the home. There was a slight mix-up on the parking and we received a ticket. Ray took care of that without hesitation and ensured we did not receive another one. He is proud of this home and it shows!

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.

Wonderful place to stay!

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!

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.
