Stayed here the night before my wedding with my siblings who stayed the night of the wedding. We hosted our getting ready portion here for the morning of the wedding and Olinka and Daniel were gracious enough to allow us to stay in their beautiful home. Made for gorgeous pictures and a comfortable stay both nights. Thank you!!

Beautiful 137 Year Old Farm Home (3night min)
Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!

2BR Lake House | Lake Toys | Views | Dog Friendly
We had the pleasure of staying here over our anniversary weekend with our 2 kiddos; it was our first vacation just our little family and it's was fantastic. Cristle was so helpful and went above and beyond to help us out when we had some issues on our end leading up to our trip. She was very thoughtful and kind and that alone was worth the 5 star rating. The home was very well kept and clean and had everything we needed for a nice relaxing weekend. We had a lot of fun out on the paddle boat and playing in the yard. The screened in porch was also a nice bonus. Our girls enjoyed the park and playing the sand. Overall it was a very nice stay and we'd love to go back sometime soon.

Lakehouse Retreat with Game Room
We had a truly wonderful stay for our women's retreat! The home was perfect—clean, cozy, and beautifully set up for a relaxing time together. We especially loved the spacious kitchen where we could cook and share meals—it felt just like home. The living room was warm and inviting, perfect for late-night chats and laughter. We also enjoyed being just a short walk away from the lake beach, which added a peaceful and refreshing touch to our time. Our host was incredibly kind and thoughtful, making sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our special night together. Highly recommended!

Spacious 2-br, 1 bath home w/AC near Naval Base
This home was chosen because of it's proximity to Recruit Training camp Great Lakes! I wanted to make sure I could get to my son's bootcamp graduation quickly with no issues of traffic. That worked out perfectly especially with Sarges easy directions! As for this home, it is located on a one way street which was extremely easy to find. The home is adorable, extremely clean and well decorated!!! I would highly recommend. They accommodated an earlier check in as we had a few connecting flights from Los Angeles... The beds are extremely comfortable with nice sheets and pillows. The towels in the bathroom were nice and fluffy. Shower was really nice with a filtered shower head! Nice TVs thru out! Shampoos, conditioners, soap in shower. first aid kits, iron and iron board, blow dryer. Kitchen had plenty of essentials to utilize for home cooked meals. If you are coming for Navy bootcamp graduation... do not hesitate to book!! Perfect home to rent! Thank you again to the hosts!

Casa 22 | Luxury Modern House for 6 | 3 Bed,2 Bath
We had a truly wonderful stay at Casa22. The home is beautiful, luxurious, and impeccably maintained — everything was clean, spotless and thoughtfully arranged. It had all the essentials we needed for a comfortable extended stay with our family, including a well-equipped kitchen, and spacious layout. The hosts, Narcis and Gabriel, were fantastic — extremely responsive, clear in their communication. They provided detailed instructions that made check-in, check-out, and everything in between seamless. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and very family-friendly, with easy access to main roads — a great location if you're planning to explore Chicago without the stress of city parking. Having a car made it easy to get around, and the area itself felt peaceful and well-kept. If you're visiting the Chicago area and looking for a clean, elegant, and well-managed place to stay, I highly recommend Casa22. We would absolutely love to return!

Luxury Lake Home
The Lake house was spectacular. It was pristine and peaceful. My family and I had a relaxing and enjoyable time with lots to do and a lot of space. Highly recommend if you are looking for a house on the lake for families and groups of friends, feels like a home away from home.

Gorgeous Home Stay | 4BD 1.5BA
We chose this home for its close proximity to the Naval base. Great location for a quiet stay. Close to shopping and restaurants. The home was cozy and the beds so comfortable. The basement area was nice to play ping pong, and also a quiet bedroom for my sailor to take a short nap in. Highly recommend staying here. Jakub’s communication was quick anytime I messaged him.

Luxury Stay Near Six Flags & Navy Graduation
We had a fantastic stay! James was extremely attentive and accommodating, communication was seamless from start to finish. The location was ideal for our family, just minutes from Six Flags, which made our trip so convenient. The house itself was incredibly spacious, giving everyone room to relax without feeling crowded. We especially appreciated waking up to the peaceful sound of birds chirping each morning, such a nice touch of nature. Every living area had its own TV, which made downtime easy for everyone, and the ping pong table added a fun extra activity for the family. The home was spotless upon arrival, very clean and well kept. You can tell the host takes pride in maintaining the property. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting the area!

Little house on the river
Beautiful view! The house was cute and clean and very comfortable. The pictures don’t do it justice! Also, the Fox River Trail is right out the back door. It’s great for walking, biking or running along the river.

5 Star Luxury Stay Near Chicago O'hare Airport,
This house was exactly as advertised, and in a quiet neighborhood. VERY convenient to OHare and lots of local shopping/restaurants. Blesson, the host, was very responsive and I very very grateful for his flexibility at check in.

Wonderful Mineola Bay Lakefront Cottage 4adu+4kids
We stayed here with 4 adults and 2 kids, it was absolutely perfect! You really can’t beat the lake view and deck plus they had so many fun touches inside beyond even what’s pictured (a whole wall of games, a little kids play area in the basement, etc). The setup was great too with the upstairs room offering flexible sleeping arrangements with the king and 3 single beds as well as sleeping options in the basement. Also loved that both bedrooms had attached bathrooms, everyone was able to have their own separate spaces. We needed to message the host about something and he was SUPER responsive! Hope to come back again (in the summer or winter really, there’s so much to do).

Pristine - 3 Beds, 1.5 Ba!
10/10. Would definitely stay here again!

Waterfront Stay, Optional Pontoon Rental, Sauna
We had a wonderful stay at Rebecca’s place in Bristol! The house was big, super clean, and beautifully maintained—perfect for a relaxing getaway. It truly felt like a home away from home with all the thoughtful touches and amenities included. Rebecca was a great host—everything was well-organized and exactly as described. I’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. We’d definitely love to come back!
