Great house in the burbs

We stayed here over our kids' spring break. The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. There was plenty of room for myself and my husband and our 2 kids. My kids loved the karaoke machine and playing pool in the garage. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy while we were there, otherwise we would have used the backyard to hang out as well. The house is very close to the train station, we took the train into the city every day for activities. Beds were comfortable and plenty of towels, kitchen well stocked. My kids liked that there was tv in the living room and in the bedroom. The water pressure is minimal and one of the toilets did get clogged, but we fixed it. Also the carbon monoxide detector went off in the point bedroom at 4:00am for no reason? We used a fan and it turned off. Overall we loved the house, our kids' loved it, and it was a great home base for our trip.

Very nice accommodations and great location!

Very easy check in , good beds/pillows, and well stocked kitchen. The only thing I would recommend is a wall mirror in every bedroom. Or a door mirror like in the master bedroom would suffice. Other than that, it is located in a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. I would recommend this house to my friends and family.

Bittersweet goodbyes to older relatives

We went to Chicago to visit ailing relatives. My mother is 84 and us siblings are between 56 and 64. The house was a wonderful place to diffuse, rest and gather our thoughts.

Perfect gathering place

My daughters and granddaughter flew in from Kentucky and LA and we spent 3 days together. The kitchen has all you need for making meals. We loved having the stroller and child toys at the house for us to use. Great location! Quiet neighborhood.

Super convenient for a stay in the burbs. Loved the house and all the little extras - and my daughter was very happy with the "pink" room. Host is very responsive and friendly as well.

Brothers memorial celebration

Interesting: combination 60s and hi-tech. Tech aspect and operational easiness not good for us. We did okay, but did not record anything for Tic Tok.🙃 Beds and linens were fantastic. Please upgrade the quality of toilet paper...we might as well have had none. Accidently booked in a neighborhood where there were 3 close neighbors we knew. All 3 through the backyard to Emerson. I would say that the home needs some ugrades. Especially, the bedroom carpets. Thank you for your hospitality.

Perfect Place and Host!

Highly recommend! This home is incredibly well thought out, making it such a comfortable place to stay. We were here almost three weeks and couldn’t have been happier. Jacob was a very thoughtful and communicative host. The beds/pillows are so comfortable, the kitchen well stocked. Has a nice backyard with a great seating area. You can tell they take pride in their home and creating a comfortable space for others.

Family trip to Chicago area

The house was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for our family. Jacob answered questions very quickly and followed up on us settling into the property. All kitchen items were easy to find and washer/dryer were large and easy to use. A variety of stores and restaurants were close by. We enjoyed our time in Schaumburg!

Super cute and cozy

Adorable house in a very nice neighborhood. Check in and out process was super easy and quick. Jacob is very responsive to any messages sent. The rooms are good size and the beds are comfortable. The house has everything, even down to the kid friendly corner covers for pointy edges on the furniture. The back yard has toys for the kids, a fire pit and a patio set. There was even an umbrella stroller and pack and play in the closet. The decor was spot on and my Chicago cousins right away knew the colors symbolized the train routes. We will definitely be staying again! Thanks for letting us stay at your house. It's beautiful 😍

Wonderful VRBO!!!

My adult family and I really enjoyed our stay! It was in a great location and nice neighborhood. Any store you need is nearby. The highways are also very close for driving to the city or airport. The home was clean, cozy, and accommodated five adults perfectly. The backyard was awesome also. Every morning we enjoyed having coffee on the covered patio. It was very peaceful the whole time we were there. Jacob, the owner, was very sweet and accommodating with our requests.

Just as cute as pictured, great for groups and families, and very responsive owner

Home is exactly as described and pictured; it is well decorated, inviting, and comfortable. Setup was perfect for our girls weekend, with plenty of seating for dinner and movie night, as well as bed space. Also appears to be very family/child friendly, as corner protectors are on all furniture, and plenty of kids toys/items are available. The only glitch was that it was the first cold night of the year, and as the first tenants to turn on the heat, we discovered that it wasn't working. Jacob was very easy to contact, quick to respond, and worked quickly to get us a temporary fix until maintenance came the next day. We were all very happy with the experience and would 10/10 recommend.
