The Biddle House (#1)
We really enjoyed staying at this place - it was clean and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. Elizabeth was very responsive and a great host. We would stay here again!

Lovely studio near the beach! (and heated floors!)
Place was clean and gave a cutesy vibe, recommend.

MDRN Kid-Frndly Apt | Natural Lite | Quiet|Private
Craig was extremely nice and accommodating when it came to my birthday weekend. He responds quickly to all questions asked and makes sure we’re comfortable at all times. This home was clean, accurately described, and had the perfect “home feeling”. Overall, when visiting the area I will be booking here again !

Executive Apartment on Lake Michigan with parking
This was a beautiful place with an excellent view of Lake Michigan. Both rooms had comfortable beds and setup with everything you need. Kitchen is well stocked, but we mostly ordered Grub Hub, lol. Loved spending time here and great place to hangout and chat with friends. It is right on the water and we really enjoyed watching the waves crash against the barrier. It is on the 2nd floor, but the stairs are not bad at all. Felt very safe and having the parking space is a great perk. Very commutative and checked in with us to make sure everything was fine. Would definitely stay here again!

Andersonville Living
We 3 loved our stay at Joseph and William's place! The apartment was clean, bright, and filled with art. The kitchen was lovely, the beds were all comfortable and the shower was very hot. We loved the back deck, and I imagine it gets used so much in warmer weather. The location is perfect. We walked to restaurants and shops in Andersonville. It was just minutes from Loyola Univ. which is why we were in town.

Spacious 3 bdrm apt. near NU + Chicago + lake.
Daniela’s place was perfect for us! Tons of space and she was so kind about the kids’ noise - we try to keep it down but with 3 it’s not always easy. Beautiful apartment - super clean and comfortable - I considered for the first time moving to Evanston someday. Thank you Daniela!

Stunning Lake Views, Huge Deck, Water Fun!
Absolutely Loved our stay!! There aren't enough good things to say about the view, location & beautiful house. So fun! There's a pool table, air hockey & 2 free standing video games. Spent every sunset in the Lakeview room😍 Just gorgeous beyond words! Did i mention the Bald Eagle that hangs out in the tree right outside the Lakeview bedroom? Incredible! the lake doesn't freeze over in one spot in front of the lakeview window, saw all the big birds of prey hunt. It was definitely wildlife at its finest. The owners are Very responsive & told us to be on the look out for the eagle! Fantastic time! Loved Loved Loved it & already reserved for our Wedding weekend❤️

Modern 3 bedroom house, quiet residential street.
Very clean and comfortable, nice neighborhood and not too far from our venue. Bikash was super responsive and even recommended a great place to try out Chicago deep dish pizza.

4 Bedrooms 2 full baths 1 floor
Our family enjoyed our stay at this home! The home was comfortable, clean and stocked with amenities. Host responded quickly to one-off requests and was receptive to feedback for minor ways to improve future guest visits. We would come back in a heartbeat!

A Beautiful 2 Bedroom Lakefront Home Deck & Boats
This home was beautiful, clean and cozy. Bed was very comfortable. Host was very responsive.

Spring Retreat with Fire pit & Peaceful Lake View
Rebecca and Derek’s place is a true gem of a find! The pictures do not do it justice. They were friendly, responsive and such wonderful hosts. We will absolutely be back - be sure to bring your fishing poles if you come. My boys caught so many fish and had a blast. We will be back!

Waterfront - Fox Lake - Bring your boat. 3bd 2bath
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this waterfront property on Fox Lake with our three dogs. The home offers direct access to the lake, providing a serene and picturesque setting for a relaxing getaway. The house comfortably accommodated our group, featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The interior was clean and well-maintained, offering all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease. Our dogs enjoyed the spacious yard and the proximity to the lake. The neighborhood was peaceful, making it ideal for morning walks with our pets. Additionally, the property's location provided convenient access to local attractions and dining options in Fox Lake. The host was responsive and accommodating, ensuring our check-in process was smooth and that we had everything we needed throughout.

A very comfortable lake house! Fantastic view and access to the lake. Fully furnished kitchen makes cooking any meal as easy as at home. Plenty of space for guests to spread out. Host is responsive and accommodating.

Pelican LakeHouse w/boat slip & sauna (sleeps 4)
We enjoyed this place so much. Its quiet, private and comfy, perfect for a retreat. We were positively surprised, the house and amenities are in fact better than described. Barrel sauna with spectacular lake views and everthing neccesary to enjoy it. Greg was such a great host! We will be more than happy to come back on our next vacation.

A Stones Throw from U Chicago South Campus!
Great location within walking distance of University of Chicago and in a safe neighbourhood. Basement apartment with 2 bedrooms. Bed was comfortable & extra pillows & blankets were provided. Toilet & kitchen facilities were slightly dated but functional. Appreciated the use of washer/dryer & complimentary coffee/tea. Very hospitable host!

Studio flat in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast
This is our second stay here. the location can't be beat and we will continue to stay here when we are in chicago. I will note that it is VERY loud. Depending on who you have above you can make it even louder. the pipes for the heat are also extremely loud. This doesn't bother us so much as we go in expecting it. This is also not the fault of the host at all and this airbnb and host are both still great!

RockStar Pad W3A BoysTown/Wrigley Field/Parking
Will's place is exactly as described. We were in town to visit colleges for our daughter. The location is close to public transportation which allowed us to visit both schools without a car. The unit itself is in a nice part of Chicago. There are several restaurants in walking distance. We absolutely loved the decor and added touches of the unit Will was also very responsive and accommodating.

The Ramblers Inn, Northside NEW Reno w/parking!
We were in town visiting our son for Easter and this place was exactly what we needed. Unbeknownst to me, my son lives in the building behind the Rambler Inn so it was so convenient. My daughter drove in from Ohio so the parking space was a bonus. The house was very spacious for the four of us and we were able to have family meals in the dining room. The hosts were great about communicating and we definitely plan on staying again in the future.

Jarvis Gardens - 1BR/BEACH/Wine patio/fire pit
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming Airbnb, and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by how beautifully decorated the space is. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, making it feel both cozy and stylish. The host was incredibly responsive and quick to answer any questions I had, which made my stay even more enjoyable. It’s always nice to know that help is just a message away! The location is fantastic—perfectly situated to explore the local sights and hidden gems. I loved being able to step out and find great restaurants and shops within walking distance. One of my favorite features was the record player! It added a nostalgic touch to my mornings and evenings, allowing me to unwind with some great tunes. And let’s not forget about the shower—it was absolutely breathtaking! It felt like a spa experience every time I stepped in. Overall, this Airbnb exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to return! Five Stars!

Cozy 1bdr Rogers Park, Loyola, Northwestern.
Love this place! It’s peaceful, walkable, plenty of things to do in the area and close to the Lake. Will definitely be back to stay here and visit family. Thanks Kaye, for always being responsive and helpful.

Pets OK | Walk Score 95 | Desk | 1,750ft² |W/D

Andersonville: 3-bed, 2-bath w/ Dining RM & EZ PKG
Just as described. Easy walk to transit, restaurants, coffee shops and more. Slept 5 of us easily and comfortably. Clean and updated space with plenty of amenities. As well, the host is great with communication. Would absolutely stay here again.
