Very nice, comfortable home. Exactly as advertised and would stay here again although next time I’m stealing the recliner (it was amazing and we all fought over it.) Elaine was an excellent communicator even giving us warning steps when inclement weather came through.

Wonderful stay at the Cottage Charm. Plenty of room for the four of us, everything was clean, the attention to detail was awesome. Every time I messaged the owner, I heard back very quick. We had no troubles finding the place, getting in, or with anything in the house. We would definitely stay here again and so should you!

Perfectly appointed home!

The house was perfect, beautiful, hardwood floors, completely redone bathrooms with all of an older homes charm restored. There are all kinds of unique, thoughtful touches, including a working record player with plenty of albums to choose from. Just two blocks from the park, it is perfectly located. I would definitely recommend!

Lovely!

We came with family and our toddler to spend the weekend exploring at Starved Rock and Matthiesen State Parks. They were an easy 15min drive away, and Elaine's place was the perfect cozy place to come back to! The home is beautiful and Elaine had so many wonderful touches, including a welcome toy for our dog! We'll definitely be back, thank you Elaine!

Amazing stay!

We had a great spring break stay and loved the house! The kids had so much fun playing air hockey and ping pong, there were treats for our pup, and we had plenty of room to spread out and relax after a long day of hiking. Also a great location- we had ice cream every day! Our kiddos insist we only stay here when we visit going forward- so much fun!

Very cozy comfortable stay that we felt so at home in. Nice location close to many varied things to do. It was lovely to be able to enjoy home cooked meals and conversation around the sinner table, yet enjoy a nice meal out with the choices in the area. Would definitely enjoy coming back to this area.
