We booked this property for our Chicago vacation. We were in a good spot to be able to drive out to the city when we had plans but also plenty of things to do nearby as well! After being in busy traffic, it was a relief to be able to come back to the house away from it all! Like other reviews stated, the house is on a main road, but it sits back far enough and we couldn’t hear a thing! The house was a great size and felt like home. It was equipped with most things we needed. The backyard is a good size and fenced in. We didn’t end up bringing our dogs, but they would have loved it! The host was responsive and check in was a breeze! A few ideas to add in the future…. Towel hooks on the bathroom doors, a laundry basket in the laundry area, and for those of us who stay for a few days, maybe a small dresser in the bedrooms and extra hangers. Overall a great stay!!
