Great Wrigleyville getaway
Amazingly clean and spacious. The backyard outdoor space and the on premise parking made this the perfect choice for our all ages, family group of 17 to stay. A short walk to Target and Aldi made everything we needed so convenient. We definitely hope to stay here again.

Perfect in every way
Loved our stay! The space was comfortable, well furnished and equipped, super location, and all around perfect for an extended family gathering. We did everything from cooking brunch for 18 (grocery story and Target less than a block away) to ordering a delicious carry-out meal from one of the recommended spots. Comfortable beds, good shower pressure, and secure parking.The hosts thought of every detail! Highly recommend.

Great Home and Location
The check-in process was seamless. I appreciate how everything was exactly as stated in the listing. The bonus(es) was that we could walk to get anything we needed since Target and Aldi were so close in walking distance. I loved that there were 9 bedrooms to allow for adequate space and they were actual bedrooms as opposed to beds being placed in random areas.

Perfect place for a group trip
We were looking for a place where we can have our large group of friends stay together for the weekend. The mansion is massive with large communal spaces and high number of bedrooms, which gave us the perfect balance of private and communal spaces. Each bedroom had it's own window a/c unit too so we didn't have to worry about hot nights. Ana was a great host! She was very prompt and friendly in her communication. She had the kitchen stocked with snacks, drinks, and coffee. She even got us donuts for one of the mornings. The house is also conveniently located next to a Target, Aldi, and the Wilson redline stop, which made getting supplies or going into the city a breeze. The gated parking spots were also very helpful so we didn't have to struggle to find parking. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous house and amazing service!!
Ana is such a joy, so helpful and easily accessible. She answered all of my many questions leading up to my sister's bachelorette party weekend. The house was even more beautiful than the pictures. It was clean and organized. Every detail was perfectly thought out to welcome us, from the snacks and drinks left for us to enjoy, to the spray and towel baskets in each bathroom. This place fit our needs exactly and everyone absolutely loved staying here!!!

Three times back and plan on more
We’ve held our annual Christmas/new year family reunion three times in this house and we love it! Rooms 13 comfortably and has congregational spaces to accommodate video gamers, pool sharks and jigsaw puzzlers simultaneously. While there’s space for different interests, the dining room is big enough to seat all of us for a shared meal. Highly recommend!

Family reunion and college graduation
Ana’s home is beautiful and charming and was ideal for our large family to celebrate my daughter’s college graduation. The home and yard are spacious and comfortable which is uncommon in Chicago. Their location is tough to beat and having an Aldi and a Target one block away was very convenient. Neighborhood is safe. We even walked with parents/grandparents to Montrose Beach. Ana is a responsive host which is so much appreciated. I’d stay here again for sure!

Great location, great house for large gatherings
We had a fantastic time in this rental property. We had a large group of 20 people, and this house was able to fit us all. It is really close to Wrigley Field and all the great bars and restaurants in the area. It's literally a block from grocery stores, so we were able to stock up on food really easily. The L Train was also close, which made it easy to get downtown. The house itself was clean and functional. It's over 100 years old, which gives it a bit of a rustic vibe. But it definitely has been updated and looks great. Thanks for a great vacation!

Perfect house for friends reunion
Our group of thirteen college friends stayed in this beautiful house for a reunion weekend to celebrate almost 40 years of friendship. We had a fabulous stay—there were enough bedrooms and beds to accommodate everyone comfortably. The dining room table had enough seating for all of us. The kitchen was well stocked; there were even some snacks on hand. The house itself is beautiful and spacious, with large areas for all of us to gather, and small nooks for smaller groups to catch up in quiet conversations. Ana was responsive to all of our requests, and everything we needed was available. Great location. All agreed it was a perfect weekend. We will be back!

Family Reunion
Great house for our family reunion (11 adults, 6 kids). Plenty of space to gather together or to take a time-out on your own. Convenient location, close to the metro, the beach, and a nice 9-hole golf course. Easy access to downtown. Ample off-street parking for our group (had 3 cars). Our only wish was for a full bath on the ground floor to go along with the bedroom on the ground floor. We had a few questions for our hosts before & during our stay - - they were always responsive in a timely manner.

Great house for a large group. We did not want to leave
The house is architecturally-beautiful, very large, well appointed and is in a convenient area near the lake. There is plenty of parking and living space. We also appreciated the beer, wine and soft drinks in the refrigerator. Our only concerns were that the house was a little cold (we were there the last weekend of September and the central heat was not yet on, though many rooms had space heaters) and the water pressure was not strong enough. Highly recommended.

Perfect House for Friend Reunion!
I booked this house for a reunion of friends who met in the Peace Corps 25 years ago. It was the perfect house for us! The house is beautiful and spacious with plenty of common space for us to enjoy time together, but also 9 bedrooms, each with at least one queen bed so that we could all also have our private space with equitably sized bedrooms. The bathrooms are updated and gorgeous. The location was fabulous as a base for exploring the city. I would definitely stay here again with a large group. The hosts were incredibly responsive with communication, responding almost instantly every time! They also had lots of helpful recommendations for things to do! We absolutely loved our stay here. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Chicago with a large group.

Memorable Family Weekend
Our family convened at this magnificent house for an 85th birthday celebration. We had our meals in, and the well-stocked kitchen and grand dining room accommodated us perfectly. The living room with the large curved sofa was a great spot for Friday's arrival happy hour. And the upstairs billiards room was a fun place to hang out. The house is exactly as depicted and described - it is humongous! We had ten people staying overnight, so we had a couple bedrooms go unused. Everyone was comfortable with the sleeping and bathroom arrangements. The parking behind the house was a nice benefit. At one point, we had five vehicles parked there. The neighborhood was great, with enough places just a quick walk away (Starbucks inside Target, for example). This home is something special, and it was a great place for a memorable family gathering.

Incredible Home, Hosts, and Location
We had a group of 14 adults stay for a low-key gathering and the property was perfect. Ana was so communicative along the way for all our detail oriented questions and we were able to get an early check in. The dining table was already set and ready and the chef we hired had everything she needed. Access to the home was clear and keyless access made it so simple for a group of our size. You do need to have semi skilled parkers to get 4 cars into the spaces in back of the house but as long as someone knows how to back in you are golden. It is an old chicago home, and with that comes creaky floors and radiator clicks. If you close the doors on the back staircase the noise doesn't travel up that side of the house. But be mindful if you have light sleepers to put them on the back side away from the main staircase. There was not a long cleaning list to complete for check out, so we were able to just do a quick sweep and head out in the morning. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience and the group is talking about booking the same home next time we get together.

Check-in Issues
From July 10-15, my family gathered in Chicago from across the country (Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia) for a family reunion. The trip was planned a year in advance and everyone contributed to cover the cost of the house rental. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive the access codes to enter the house until 6:24pm — 2 1/2 hours after our scheduled 4:00pm check-in. I had been in contact with the owner numerous times the past year but when I tried reaching out those 2 1/2 hours, she didn’t answer my calls or emails. During that time I waited on hold with VRBO for 1 1/2 hours. This was inexcusable. My family of 9 people were outside in the heat after traveling all day. I stood at the front of the house looking at the overgrown landscaping, dead potted plants on the porch and worn out bench in the yard and honestly thought we had been scammed out of our money and would be searching to find other accommodations for the week. Hopefully we can receive some reimbursement amount in compensation. After which, please delete this review as once we were in the house, we enjoyed the time together.
