Very cute, clean cottage with great amenities and close to Wheaton College. Hosts were welcoming and responsive…dropping off some dish towels when they realized the cleaning staff hadn’t given us any. We enjoyed our stay. Do note the proximity to the train tracks and bring earplugs for night sleep!

A few friends and I were in town for a show at the WC Social Club. The home is in a great area - we discovered the awesome little town of Glen Ellyn just a couples minutes up the road. The host gave us some great recommendations for local dining. Home was very clean and check-in was super easy. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!

Cute, clean cottage

This was a great place to stay for a short visit to Wheaton. It is very convenient to Wheaton College and downtown. Beds are comfortable and house is clean and well maintained. We appreciated the extra touches, like snacks and water bottles in the kitchen and fresh flowers on the table. Be aware that the staircases are narrow.

My sister and I stayed here over Labor Day weekend to attend a My Chemical Romance concert, and we had an amazing time! This property was absolutely perfect for the two of us. It was super tidy and well kept, and we loved the neighborhood! We went on morning walks three out of our four day stay, and we loved the atmosphere of the neighborhood and surrounding areas. We walked on a trail close to the train tracks through the wooded area and it was so green and beautiful. We saw multiple wild bunnies in our yard during our stay as well as chipmunks and squirrels! Overall it was the perfect property for us as first timers to both Illinois and the Chicago area. I would absolutely stay here again.
We LOVED this seating area when the sun was starting to set and shining through the stained glass window
