You will have 2 private, covered parking spots in our garage. There is plenty of street parking but please refer to Evanston's street cleaning schedule in order to avoid getting a parking ticket. We will also include the schedule in the House Manual.
Please note that for security reasons, we have 3 outdoor cameras pointed at and recording the following:
- Above the front doors recording the front porch, the front yard and a bit of the sidewalk and parkway.

- Next to the back door recording the West section of the backyard and garage.
Tampering with the cameras in any way will be cause for booking cancellation.

About the area
Evanston
Located on a lake, this holiday home is in South Evanston, a neighbourhood in Evanston. Merchandise Mart and Willis Tower are notable landmarks, and travellers looking to shop may want to visit Michigan Avenue and Navy Pier. Travelling with kids? Make time for Field Museum of Natural History, or head to an event or a match at Wrigley Field. Kayaking, parasailing and power boating offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cycling nearby.

About the host
Hosted by Rada
Married for 18 years with 3 kids, we spent our 20s seeing the world and since then, adulting! When not working on our house, Joel works in sales. Rada was in fashion for 20 years and co-owns a bridal shop. Wishing to show our kids the world, we are opening up our home to guests seeking time with friends and family in a one of kind home. We work really hard to make sure that our home and the amenities are perfect for a memorable stay in Evanston.

What makes this property unique
Our home was built in 1872 and although recently renovated, we've worked really hard to preserve its history. From the original fireplace mantle, to the window and door casings and all of the interior doors, the home embraces its past while offering the comforts of today. One of our favorite features is our yard. We offer so many different ways to enjoy the outdoors. Whether you're dining at our antique farmtable, relaxing around the firepit, catching some rays on the lounge set, or playing badminton on the grass, there are endless outdoor possibilities. We also have a brand new indoor/outdoor rec room and a home gym attached to the garage. Every space, indoor and out, has been carefully curated not only in design but in function to guarantee the best possible vacation experience!
