The Space
You won’t believe that you’re in Chicago when you see this beautifully renovated 1890’s coach house. Here a quiet tree-lined street and a verdant urban garden welcome you home to Bucktown House. This rental includes both the first and second floor units, so it’s perfect for a large gathering or multiple families. Each 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment sleeps 5 guests, and there is an interior hallway connecting the two. If you’d like to rent an individual unit, please contact us.
Both suites feature eclectic décor with handpicked designer furnishings. Every aspect of this home has been thoughtfully chosen - from the custom drapes to the cherry wood kitchen cabinets to the luxurious towels and robes in the bathroom. Here are more highlights of the comforts at Bucktown House:
More than 1400 square feet of comfortable, plush living space.
Gourmet kitchens with gas ranges, marble countertops, frost-free refrigerators, microwaves, filtered water systems, and gorgeous glass tiled backsplashes.
Queen-sized beds in the master bedrooms.
Two twin-sized beds with reading lamps in each guest bedroom.
Living rooms feature Carlyle Convertible Sofa Beds.
Luxe marble bathrooms with (MALIN+GOETZ) toiletries.
Beautiful urban garden with outdoor seating and grill.
Flat screen TV’s with DIRECTV premium channels, DVD Players, iPod docking stations and AT&T U-verse Internet Service.
Laundry facilities on-site with complimentary detergent.
Central air conditioning and heat with individual climate controls.
Guest Access
Once you find your free street parking, you can pick your favorite apartment - upstairs or down. The building is secured with self-locking doors, and you’ll use a punch code to enter the house.
The Neighborhood
Bucktown is not just a peaceful residential enclave; it’s also full of incredible arts, dining and activities. The Bucktown House is within walking distance of Holstein Park and The 606 Bloomingdale Trail, a walking/biking trail surrounded by installation art and creative urban landscaping.
Stroll down Damen Avenue for a shopping experience second only to Michigan Avenue, or for a diverse selection of international cuisine. In the evening you can take in a show at the Gallery Cabaret, the Trap Door Theater, or Gorilla Tango Theater - all within easy walking distance of home.
The surrounding neighborhood has no shortage of dining options, from single-barrel bourbon and pork belly tacos on the outside patio at Big Star to nine-course menus at Schwa, an upscale BYOB. Or if it's nightlife you're after, try Bangers & Lace for a hunting lodge vibe or work your way through the Chop Shop's cocktail program.
And if you tire of the local scene, just take the blue line and in 30 minutes you’ll be near Navy Pier. Bucktown is a locus of Chicago’s beauty, entertainment, and culture - book now to stay in the heart of it all.
**No pets are allowed, especially cats. This includes support cats, service cats and pet cats. The owner has a severe cat allergy and any cat dander in the apartment would cause a major health threat.

Clean,an enjoyable experience! Lovely neighborhood with inviting bars and restaurants. Easy to navigate and close to everything. Bus and rail very accessible and affordable. We would book again. The combination of the 2 apartments was family friendly. We had a great time.
5.0 / 5.0
The Bucktown House was a great property for my party of 8 adults - we reserved both apartments and enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, pots and pans. The neighborhood is gorgeous and very quiet. Very close to Downtown Chicago. Enjoyed walking around the neighborhood with the shaded streets and many parks in the area.
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent property for family visit to Chicago. Jean was extremely helpful and informative. Comfy, eclectic decor and well equipped all around, particularly the kitchen. Close to great little grocery store, about half mile from Bloomingdale Trail, and 1 mile from epicenter of Damen Ave/Milwaukee Ave shopping. Easy Uber to downtown/Loop/Navy Pier.

Enjoyed our stay
Property as advertised - nice neighborhood. 15 minute walk from the blue-line. This worked out well for our family trip with adults and young adults. Wished the bedrooms had had air vents. The bathroom had excellent AC and was freezing but to cool off the bedroom we had to leave our door open for airflow. It would have been nice to have had a fan available. Huge closet in the room with the queen beds, no closet in the bedroom with twins. Nice and clean, beautiful garden area. Would have been nice to know about the free neighborhood pool/hours. Owner checked in with us about an hour before checkout - nice and friendly.

Great setup! Great location!
Reservation process was really easy. The 2 units we rented were very quite comfortable and felt like home. It was a charming neighborhood with easy access to the Blue line. We had a wonderful long weekend and loved Chicago. Can’t wait to come back to this city and will definite use VRBO again.

Would stay again!
Great place to stay! Street parking is very doable and it is not far to take the train into Chicago. Would stay again!

Great, safe and quiet, but close to the heart of the city
Our family of 8 people rented both units and it worked perfectly! Well stocked kitchens made it a great spot to prepare and celebrate Thanksgiving. Comfortable beds and linens. Plenty of street parking (although we accidentally parked in a crosswalk and got ticketed, so watch out for that). Great communication with host before and during our stay. Two things that are not a negative reflection on the property, but good to know are that If relying on public transport the nearest train station as far as we could tell was about a half mile away. Also, stairs are required to access the house. Would definitely rebook at Bucktown House. Thanks!

Perfect place for families
The apartments are excellent. Well maintained and well appointed. The location is excellent and the two apartments worked well for us as each family had their own space and we could easily travel on the stairs between them.

The gardens are beautiful and the house was so comfortable, cozy, clean and so cute!
The two apartments are connected by an inside stairs because it use to be one house. The keypads on all three doors were great. Kitchen well stocked. The bathrooms are refurbished and so nice, mostly tile and marble type surfaces. There is a washer and dryer on premises, which we loved because we could wash the bath towels. The pictures do not do it justice, the carriage house is better in real life. One downstairs bedroom was very tiny, the one with twin beds and no closet. Perfect for two kids tho. The master downstairs had a huge walk in closet. We all shared it!

A Great Property!
We have stayed in a few VRBO/AirBNB's, and this was one of the nicest. Everything was exactly as described and shown in the photos. The mattresses really are queen size, and seem to be brand new and very comfortable, with fabulous linens. There are a couple of very large closets, though a couple of bedrooms didn't have any, it wasn't a problem. The bathrooms are brand new with good water flow and plenty of hot water. Really fluffy towels and even bathrobes! We were told there was plenty of free street parking, and there was the whole week we were there. The rooms were quiet and it is a great neighborhood. We did a lot of cooking and found everything we needed. To top things off, the hosts were very accommodating to our needs and let us check in early and out late since they didn't have bookings on either side.
This was perfect for the eight of us and I couldn't recommend it any more.

Great place!
We did enjoy our stay here. It was very clean and comfortable for our group. The kitchen is well stocked so we had everything we needed to make a few meals in the house. The beds and linens are very nice. The wi-fi worked well and we felt safe here. The neighborhood was nice, we enjoyed Ipsento coffee and Red June cafe. We took the CTA blue line from O'hare and to downtown and the walk was very reasonable.
