Lake house Monica Steps from the lake! 4BD 3bath
The house had plenty of room for my family of 10. We truly appreciated all of the extra things to do at the house. The pool table/ping pong table was a hit for the young adults. The fact that they had enough kayaks that the young adults could go out in a group was a huge plus. The only negative I would say is the amount of lily pads in front of the house didn’t allow for swimming off the dock or fishing. Obviously this is not the fault of the owner so we made the best of it.

Home away from home
We couldn’t have asked for a better home for our Spring Break. We last minute booked this home, and checked in 45 later but you would have never known by how welcoming Vytauta made it. Beds were very comfortable, backyard was great, we felt right at home.

Cozy home in front of the park and close to NIU
The house was perfect for what we needed for a quick weekend visit.

Little Blue House
Alex is a great host! Dog friendly places are hard to find and his place made my dog feel super comfortable. Love this place and definitely will be back.

Duplex in Dekalb, IL
Really enjoyed staying at Elizabeth's Moluf St duplex! Great open layout, comfortable furnishings, large fenced yard perfect for dog, thoughtful appliances and amenities. Really love parking in attached garage!! I've stayed here before and hope to stay here again. Thanks!

Spacious Cabin-style home w/ Gameroom + Gym!
This cabin style home was perfect for our family getaway! The game room was perfect for our ongoing family "olympics." We were able to prepare a meal for 8 of us. The spacious home allowed everyone to have their own room. Thank you!

Spacious 2082 sq ft Home & 1 Mile Walk 2Town/River
We enjoyed staying at Nicole’s house in Geneva Illinois. It was clean, comfortable, and pet friendly. Nicole was very responsive when we had a couple questions and always friendly. The house is very spacious and all 4 bedrooms have plenty of room. The backyard is very nice. It’s about a 1-mile walk to downtown Geneva or an easy drive. We didn’t use the 2nd floor since there were only two of us, but if you have a larger group you will have plenty of room. Highly recommend!!

Adorable house Madison Street w/ 2 car garage!
My family of four (two kids) stayed here for a few nights before a flight at Chicago O’Hare. We really enjoyed the comfortable home and slept well! Jill was so kind and helpful. We really loved the area as well- walkable to a super cute street of shops and restaurants! We also appreciated the garage and felt very safe. We would stay here again!
Pet-friendly home rentals with a pool

2-Acre Highland Park Retreat with Heated Pool ~ 5*
We were in town for Thanksgiving visiting family with our dogs for 4 nights. Communication with host was great. The house was very clean, well furnished (we cooked the Thanksgiving meal there), recently renovated kitchen (huge kitchen island) with high end appliances, and yes there are 6 bedrooms (some small but nice). Rooms are split between three floors so everyone had room/privacy. Backyard with pool was great, lots of space for dogs, everything is fenced in but the front which was not a problem as the house is on a dead-end street with very little traffic. This is definitely a superhost home, all your condiments, lots of nice touches and snacks/gifts. We will definitely stay there again on our next visit to family in Chicago. House is locate between 41 and 94 making travel around Chicago easy.

FUN-tana All Year Round Abbey Springs Fontana WI
Joan's daughter, Rebekah, communicated directly with me through the Airbnb app. She provided detailed check-in instructions, a phone number to contact her, etc. It seems Rebekah lives in Hawaii so please keep note of that for response times, etc. The house was comfortable, very clean, and well-appointed. Joan and Rebekah have a beautiful collection of original art, artifacts, etc. so please keep that in mind if you are bringing small children to the home. Please note that the 1st floor bedroom has a king bed and full bathroom; and the lower level has 2 twin beds in the open area, 1 full bed and 1 twin bed in the first bedroom, and 1 full bed and 1 futon in the second bedroom (including a full laundry and utility room in a closed room).

Abbey Springs 5 Star Resort on Lake Geneva
Scott’s place was very nice! It was updated and clean. With the 3 bedrooms, it was a good home for our multigenerational family to have the space to come together at times and have the space we needed to spread out. The bottom bedroom was a bit chilly due to all of the beautiful, large windows, however, we found extra covers that allowed us to make due. I would suggest if you’re coming in the cooler months to bring warmer pajamas to sleep in. Thanks, Scott!

Great Kayaking, biking, hiking get away
Check in was easy, and everything was as described. Julie’s place met our needs for a place to stay while visiting family. Her place is clean and well supplied. Lots of room which we didn’t use all of it. The fenced in area was nice to be able to let our dogs out.

Rock River Relaxation Home
Wonderful place to stay would stay again. Josh and Amanda are great hosts.

Grand 1800s Victorian Gem: Updated/by Downtown
Deidre is an amazing host. She goes above and beyond for each guest. We always appreciate her welcoming us into her home and her attentive and responsiveness to our requests. Highly recommend!

Relaxing Four Season Getaway near Lake Geneva
We were genuinely surprised to find a place in this location so close to the relatives we were visiting. Genoa City is not exactly the hotspot on the border! The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, but no overly inquisitive citizens. Property was perfect for our requirements, with the fenced in back yard that allowed us to let our pet out whenever without having to use a leash. Nice personal welcoming touches were unexpected and truly appreciated, since we arrived late and weren't able to do any shopping before hand. Beds were comfortable and spaced throughout the second floor, with expansion in the lower basement if necessary for bigger families, especially those with older children. School immediately across the street is great for spontaneous recreation of all types if you have the equipment. Our dog has not had the opportunity to enjoy such a large open space for quite some time and it was great to wear him out for the evening prior to bedtime. Abundant TVs throughout the home!

Living the High Life Pool House
Spent a vacation here with my family, everything was accurately described and easy to get in and had everything I needed. I recommend this location and housing for any get-aways.
Private, pet-friendly home rentals

Private Entrance 1br whole unit
I stayed at Jennifer’s place and it was everything that she represented it be. It’s a quiet area and it was convenient to work. You’re only about 6 minutes from downtown and the restaurants and activities down there. Definitely would book again. It was a great location and had everything to make my two weeks of being there for work comfortable. Word of caution if you flop around a lot while sleeping, the mattress does shift so be careful getting up in the morning. I got dumped on the floor when I went to sit on the edge of the bed after my alarm went off LOL.

Short Drive to Hospitals/Airports/Downtown Chicago
The place was newly remodeled, very clean and organized. Everything in the apartment was well stocked and very livable, including Roku access to open your own subscriptions Hulu, Netflix, etc. Please be aware that the location is a basement with a relatively steep flight of stairs, with safety lips on the edges.

Less is more! Pet friendly Tiny Home near Chicago!
One of the best tiny house experiences we’ve ever had! We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay—everything was thoughtfully designed, cozy, and peaceful. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway!

Rejuvenate: 4BR, fenced yard
The only thing I didn’t like was the smart lock due to having to download an app and creating an account , there is not an exterior pic of the place and the floor was to noise when walking, I would wake up in the middle of the night from my roommates waking up to the toilet or early in the morning . But everything else was perfect.

Dog Approved Country Suite
Lisa's place was nice very comfortable would definitely stay there again

a SIMPLE place
This is the 2nd time I've stayed here, and it is always exactly what I need. The space is great, the neighborhood is safe, and there's a Lou Malnatis and Portillos within a 15 min drive. Will definitely stay again!

Home in the Woods!
We had such a wonderful time at Jazmin Airbnb. The place was clean and smell great! She was very responsive and we had no issue with checking into our Airbnb. Thank you for being such a great host!

Cottage with Pond at Hidden Creek Estates
Clean, inviting house with great amenities and plenty of space. Conveniently close to Ledges Horse Show. There was a small problem before check in but they communicated such issue and had a great alternative and worked out perfectly. We ordered food from nearby Hidden Creek restaurant and I highly recommend - SO GOOD!
