Holiday rentals with lake access in Evanston

Great location, close to all the action but just far enough to be peaceful. We loved having the back deck to sit outside and relax before a night out. I would absolutely recommend this location for a weekend or even longer.

Craig was very responsive both before our booking and upon our arrival. The place was beautiful and spotless; it looked and felt like a hotel but was also very homey. We enjoyed the lovely place and the town and the convenience of getting to local areas and going to Chicago. The house came with nice supplies in the bathrooms and nice quality linens, kitchen cookware, etc. The ping pong table was a nice addition. Definitely will stay again.

This house was just as described on the website. It was in a great location. The house is beautiful and clean. Walking distance to Wrigley, many restaurants and also the train. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had the best stay in Old Town! The Airbnb was wonderful and spacious for our family.

This was a fantastic find! My whole party loved the place. It was clean and wonderfully located in a peaceful neighborhood close enough to transport to walk but far enough from the noise and bustle of downtown. Shawn was very responsive to any questions I had and was super kind and friendly! I absolutely would stay here again!!

We loved our stay at Efren’s place. We are a couple traveling with our 17-year-old son and 90-year-old Grandma, and everyone was happy with our rental. It was clean and well-equipped. Our son was happy to have his own room with a futon (better than sleeping in the living room). The garage parking was a nice touch.

Eight adults stayed very comfortably in Peter’s place. It was all very, very clean and comfortable. We have family in the area and found it to be a convenient location for getting downtown or to other suburbs. The neighborhood was very quiet and well kept. We would definitely stay here again.

Had a great 2 night stay. Everything was clean and exactly as pictures and described. Very cute decor/theme. The layout was great for us, family with older teens. Lots of space and TVs. Great restaurants and some shopping within walking distance. Really good value. Walk to the beach and trails. We were in town for a nearby event and really enjoyed the area this place was in. Host was very responsive and answered questions beforehand. We had no issues with our stay at all and would absolutely recommend.

Amy is an excellent host! She was so proactive about reaching out ahead of time and checking in on us. The unit was extremely clean! Easiest check in I have had with Airbnb—clear/specific directions. Amy was also super accommodating with our checkout time—we had a late flight (7:45pm) and we were able to check out at 5pm instead of noon which allowed us to maximize the last day of our trip! SO close to Loyola beach and has easy access to public transit. There are just a few improvements that would make this a perfect Airbnb: 1) the mattress is uncomfortable (extremely firm), 2) there is a beautiful kitchen but it is not well stocked with the basics (strainer, cooking utensils, pots, etc)—we made do by getting a little creative! Not a problem if you plan on eating out the whole time. 3) A few end tables would be nice for setting a glass of water/coffee etc, 4) needs a few more towels for being so close to the beach! Nonetheless, I would love to stay again and highly recommend!!

Lin communicated clearly and was helpful throughout the whole process. The space was perfect for our needs, close to the event we were there for and in a lovely neighborhood near a small park close to a variety of great family restaurants. Happy to go back should the need arise.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable and it was great that they had amenities for a baby as we stayed here with our daughter and baby grandson. This apartment is in a great location in Lincoln Park. Buena North Deli is a short walk away as well as other markets. Cedar Palace Lebanese restaurant is just across the street (great food and great service) with other nice restaurants just a short walk away. Armitage station was walkable and we used the train everyday to get around in Chicago. Michael, the host, provided great instructions and recommendations for the area. He was very responsive made sure we had what we needed. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Chicago.

Nice location and comfortable for 4 people. Little difficult to get in from the parking space. Keypad only worked part of the time. Great to have an included parking space! Overall a nice short stay.

We had a pleasant stay! The space is small but thoughtfully arranged and very cozy, perfect for a short trip. Everything was clean and with a fresh, welcoming feel. The location is excellent: close to downtown, Chinatown, Navy Pier, and most of the key attractions you’d want to see on a first visit to Chicago. What stood out most was the host’s attentiveness—always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even smoother. Just a heads-up: the building has fairly thin walls, so some noise from neighboring units can be noticeable. Free street parking was surprisingly easy to find, which was a huge plus. Overall, a great spot with a responsive host and very convenient location.

We enjoyed our stay in this apartment very much. It is nicely appointed with comfortable furnishings and up to date decor. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, just a short walk to restaurants, shops and trains. Michelle was responsive and very easy to deal with. We would rent here again next time we're in town.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Liz’s. The apartment is beautiful with lots of space. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were very nice quality. The apartment is in a great neighborhood with a lot of good coffee and food in walking distance.

I absolutely loved Lisa and Nathan’s place. It was exactly as advertised - a beautiful property (photos do not capture how nice this place really is). Aside from the great place and location is how responsive they were. My schedule was in flux while traveling and they were so flexible making sure my stay met my expectations. I also liked how quick they responded when I reached out about the heat (it was very cold in Chicago at the time). They immediately offered to send the building engineer to take a look - and it turns out I just didn’t know how to work the remote for the heat. The heat was fine - it was just user error on my part. But I respected how quickly they followed up with me to make sure everything was fine and that I was comfortable. Will definitely rent again next time I am in town. I can highly recommend their place.
