Highly recommend if you are a large family come to visit Chicago. We were up there for Navy Pass and Review. The house was close to base and train stations. The house was very clean and welcoming. We cooked many meals and had plenty of room to not be cramped like sardines. If we ever come up here again would rent this house again. The price was very affordable for a family of 10
We had a very comfortable stay with family after our son’s bootcamp graduation. 10-15 minute drive to the base. 15-20 min drive to Gurnee Mills Mall. All beds were comfortable. Host very responsive to any questions we had. Definitely recommended. We would stay there again!
This was a great vacation home. It was a decent commute to Chicago for downtown festivities, close to shopping and necessities. The house has a great layout; tri-level makes for a nice division of rooms but everyone is still right there. 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 in basement (one is attached to another and have to walk through); good sized kitchen, great size living room and family/rec room. The sofas were huge and super comfortable; even had a couple people sleep there instead of the beds which weren’t the most comfortable. Nice size smart TVs in every room made for great use of downtime when everyone was home.
Property is well maintained, everything was clean when we arrived and all pictures of the property were accurate. We had a plumbing concern while staying and the host was prompt coming over to address the situation immediately. Everyone had enough space we didn't feel like we were on top of each other, and the communal areas could fit everyone easily for meals or movie watching. We were in town to go to the Renaissance faire, 5 stars, would stay again.
The home was easy to find and the instrutions for the stay were very thorough. As soon as we walked in we were blown away by the home. It was a perfect place to stay that was a close drive to many local attrations. It is also close to base if you have a graduating sailor. We were very happy with our stay and if we make our way back to the area i would definitely book again!
We had a nice stay, lots of rooms and beds for our large family of 10! Everything was clean, but there were quite a few earwig bugs, I understand sometimes you can’t keep them away with the large trees, but some people might freak out about them. Other than that we had everything we needed and were very comfortable! Thank you!
Im so glad I chose this property. The host was exceptional and responded quickly to all questions. The house amenities catered to all our needs and more! Naval graduation is only 10-15 minutes away from the property (easy access), downtown Chicago was only an hour away.
I will most definitely be choosing this location again during my next visit.
Let's just say a Great place to unwind after RTC Graduation and weekend liberty. The house is close to most everything we needed i.e. restaurants, shopping, etc. for all of our needs. The house was very neat and clean upon our arrival and the owner Jack was very responsive and informative to any of our questions we had. The house is a straight shot to the RTC base with very little traffic during our travels to and from the base. Would Definitely recommend staying here if you want a place to relax or have a large family. Plenty of room and comfy sofas in each of the living rooms (has a bonus room) also has a great kitchen and plenty of bathrooms (for getting ready in the mornings and not having to wait in line!)

Great place for Navy graduation
Positives: Great spot for a Navy graduation, spotless home, good layout for larger groups, good price point, comfy beds, and lots of parking (be sure to understand the parking rules).
Negatives: I had to reach out to the host in order to get check-in details, the security alarm went off when we first arrived and at midnight the day we were leaving, the house is very close to a fire station so you hear sirens all night long, the house is a multi-level floor plan (hard for a disabled person), we unpluged 8 air fresheners because they were so overpowering, and there were rules that were not given until it was too late to cancle. For example, a list of large fees was sent to me outlining charges for not cleaning the BBQ or popcorn maker if used, not putting away clean dishes at checkout, for spraying water out of the shower, or for flushing feminine products. These things should be outlined in the description. The host did reach out to ask if there was anything he could do to make up for the security alarm issue.
Overall: This house met our needs. The location, price, and cleanliness were fabulous. I would book again, but only because I know all the details.
