About this house rental

This is a single family home that was originally built and owned by a bootlegger during the prohibition period of the 1920's. He had a boat in nearby Belmont Harbor and would sail to Windsor Canada to pickup whiskey and then sell it from the backyard to locals. He was always on the lookout for cops. There is one remaining "escape door" in one of the bedrooms on the main level. We keep it locked, but it still works to get you outside fast.

Large enough to sleep 22 people with plenty of space to mix, mingle and play (including a foosball table). 2 car garage and outside pad for large vehicles. Awesome location in East Lakeview near Wrigley, Lincoln Park and more.

We loved the location and the place was awesome! It was walking distance to Wrigley Field and the Zoo! Will was good with communication and responsive whenever we reached out. We encountered an issue with one of the toilets, and Will ordered the part for it immediately but it didn't arrive until after we left. It was an inconvenience to work around, but there wasn't much more he could do. Otherwise, we loved our time there and would definitely recommend it to others!

Wonderful location, plenty of room, thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were a group of 30-somethings in town for a weekend. Really enjoyed how close we were to the lake and to coffee shops, restaurants, and transit, but still on a quiet street. It was super convenient, really easy check in with door codes. We enjoyed the roof deck on one nice day, and overall had a great time. Lots of space for all of us! We would happily stay here again.

This house is perfect for large families. There is everything you need for cooking, sleeping, and just hanging out. The outdoor patio was a favorite with us all. It almost felt like being at home. We loved the large kitchen table and all of the games in the house. There was so much to do from ages 78 - 24 and so close to everything. We loved there we could park 3 cars safely and did not have to worry about parking garages, or on street. The location was great and I would highly recommend this house to anyone. I know we will be back someday.

I grew up in Chicago and most of my family is there so when my Mom passed, of course we were going to Chicago where most of my family still lives. I wanted a place where the out of town people could come together. This was it...beds are comfy, kitchen has what you need. Exit is easy (garbage in bin and sheets by washer). Amazing dining room table for card games (how we roll). And history...which my Mom as lifelong Chicagoan would have lived. Two car garage + parking pad awesome. Unconditionally recommend. Michelle

We had a wonderful time visiting Chicago! This property is located in a great neighborhood with lots of places within walking distance. We had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. Navy Pier and the River Walk were all a short drive away!

This place is a gem! Located a couple of blocks from the lake, you’ve got great access to the biking and running paths along the water. A few blocks to the west and you’ve got restaurants, shopping, etc.. it was awesome! The place itself is so well equipped with everything you could need. The bedroom count is great so the group could have their own bedrooms but what tops that is the amount of common space for hanging out. Can’t say how much we loved the place! We’ll be back…

Starting with the owner who was one of the best I have ever worked with, he promptly return all my calls, knew the area, was always accommodating, and was a professional at all times. The house was awesom, fully equipped with the best of appliances, had a large amount of kitchen ware, a large amount of bathroom supplies,bed linens and towels were plentiful, and there were many board games to playl The house was spotless. The decor was beautiful. Excellent location. Everyone in our party said they would highly recommend this property to stay at.

This kind host and well-appointed home-away-from-home helped us have a top 10 family reunion vacation.We accessed Chicago's best from here. Our group of 13 needed space to make meals and eat together, play gamesand have separate bedrooms. We couldn't believe our luck when we found this home within walking distance of Lake Michigan, transit and local restaurants. We were delighted by the amount of space, the smart functional layouts of each room, the quality of the furnishings and (for me) the décor and history of the home. It is hard to please 13 people, but we were ALL pleased. In the kitchen, we had all the tools we needed for cooking and serving, and they were good quality. Teflon pans in great condition, good knives, full sets of dishes and glasses, large refrigerator, gas range. The dining table had cloth covered chairs and generous seating. The huge living connected to a charming sunroom featuring two high-top tables, allowing everyone to find favorite spots for eating, conversation or games. The bedding was high quality with comfy sheets and pillows. The laundry room provided space for families to keep up with their wash in newer appliances that worked great. The rooftop provided another great gathering space. It's where we had morning yoga! On the 4th of July, we avoided the crowds and had our own rooftop BBQ. Home and garden decorating details such floral arrangements and giant hostas were icing on the cake for me. Will, our host was incredibly responsive throughout.

The neighborhood felt safe as we walked to Wrigley Field and restaurants. It was nice to have on-site parking for three cars. We had plenty of space for our family of ten. The kitchen was well stocked and the owner provided extra basic necessities. We would stay here again.

This was an amazing house! Seemingly infinite beds and bedrooms, but still with spacious common areas. The neighborhood is wonderful--easy walk to the lake with lots of restaurants and fun stores. Would 100% stay again.

This place was wonderful! It was so clean, had plenty of space for our group and had everything that we needed. Location was perfect! Even though we had a rental car, there was so much within walking distance. So many great restaurants. Having that garage to park in was the cherry on top!

Would've been absolutely perfect if the full bachelor party was able to join. A little spendy with the 6-person group we had. But overall location was great and everyone was comfortable with where we stayed/slept/ate. Would definitely go again with the right sized group.
