Sunny Coach House in Historic Oak Park

This bright, cozy coach house is your ideal base in Oak Park. It was originally the coachman's quarters behind a 1909 Prairie-style house, now converted into modern guest lodging.

The coach house is above the garage at the end of a long driveway (free parking included!) on a quiet street, in the heart of the Frank Lloyd Wright district. It's a short walk from the FLW home and studio, Ernest Hemingway's birthplace, vibrant downtown Oak Park, and trains to downtown Chicago.

The place was really cozy. 2 adult sisters - One of us slept in the bedroom and the other on the couch which was perfect. The coach house is very convenient to restaurants and shopping areas in Oak Park. Very walkable. Its on a beautiful street. Check in instructions were clear and the host was very responsive and friendly. Getting there from O'hare was quick and easy. We would book again.

“Older” travelers approve

My husband and I are in our 70s and we found that our safety and comfort level was more than satisfactory while staying at this lovely Coachhouse. A real plus was the beautiful neighborhood. Also, our host was responsive within minutes to the couple of questions we had when we first arrived. Our stay was overall a wonderful experience!

Great location that is only a few minutes walking to multiple Frank Lloyd Wright houses and his studio. The area is extremely beautiful and quiet, multiple great food choices and the green line elevated train are only a few minutes away walking. Great location, great stay.

Bright, open property complete with kitchen, large living room and walled sleeping room. We enjoyed the location and beautiful neighborhood of this 2nd floor Coach house. Excellent bed, and quiet for sleeping. Mini split worked well to control temperature of the rooms. Ceiling fan was helpful as well.If we need to come back we will probably rent again.Host was quick to respond to any questions and provided detailed instructions.

Beautiful studio in the heart of the historic district with a very homey feel. I work in Chicago and this gave me an ability to cook meals and feel more “normal” than in a hotel. Beautiful street, nice neighborhood, comfy bed, great hosts. I would stay there again.

This was a great location for our weekend visiting family in this area but also for taking the train downtown. It was a comfortable space and roomier than being in a hotel. Location is very quiet, unless owner opens the garage door which is immediately under the sleeping area. I recommend this spot if you need to be in the Oak Park area!

The owner of the property would answer my questions immediately. He was kind and explained everything. When we arrived the rooms were warm and lights were on. They had a book inside explaining everything as well. It was just a sweet small place we needed to visit our daughter for a short weekend. It was safe and quiet. I highly recommend staying here.

Needs some attention to detail

Beautiful property in lovely part of town. It’s comfortable and just enough space for two. However it needs a good deep cleaning including rugs and baseboards because there is a build-up of dirt, dust and grime. Could also use a fresh coat of paint.

Overall we had an enjoyable stay. The garage door opener/closer (just below) is a bit noisy. The mattress was comfortable which provided a good night's rest. Very desirable neighborhood.

A VRBO property that was private, well stocked, free parking and affordable. The hosts were easy to contact though my stay was problem free. The Oak Park neighborhood is beautiful, historic and a paradise only 9 miles from the Loop and a short train ride into a great American city. And for a fan of architecture and Frank Lloyd Wright this property is a wonderful home base.

Destination Chicago

The Coach house is quite beautiful inside, and quite comfortable. It is in a very safe neighborhood, and close to mass transit, downtown Oak Park, restaurants and the Frank Lloyd Wright home & Studio. It was all we needed! Any issues we had were tended to quickly. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Beautiful Location, Peaceful Stay

Thank you so much to these hosts. My family was in town during a very difficult time in our lives. These hosts provided us with a quiet, peaceful, and beautiful place to come back to and decompress. It was a short walk to several parks and other activities, plus the historical house were so neat to look at while we walked around the neighborhood. Bonus tip from the host about a farmers market on Saturdays with some of the best donuts ever!😊 100% will stay here again if we are back to the area.
