Great home for graduation

The home had everything we needed. The host was very attentive to any needs that came up. Neighborhood was close to navy bootcamp graduation. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe being there. Would recommend this home to families that are coming in!

We had a great stay at this house. Good communication with host. The location is on a corner and is easy to access. There is a great park a 10-15 min walk away (it's really cool! And there's even a splash pad).The house was great for a large family. Lots of spaces to congregate in. An unusually small table for the number of people the house hosts though. We had to stand around to eat. Perhaps a folding table and chairs could solve that?The only issue is that the linen closet was stocked with damp towels. We put them in the dryer and took care of the issue ourselves. We wouldn't have minded if the cleaners left them in the dryer to finish drying. But actually, the dryer took several cycles to dry anything.

Perfect place for our Boot camp graduation

We arrived 8-7-2024 to such a clean & perfect property for our family. Our sailor had plenty of room to chill out & relax. When my sailor found out he had an additional day of leave, it worked out for the host & adding a day was not a problem. I highly recommend this property.

Great place to stay

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!

Amazing stay for Navy graduation!!!

The property was exactly as described. Very clean, very comfortable, and an EXCELLENT location for our sailor’s Navy boot camp graduation. The kitchen was very well set up for making our sailor his favorite meals. We bought groceries, obviously, but appreciated that there was coffee, tea, and hot cocoa already there. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for Navy families. The host was great at communicating in a timely fashion & was helpful and friendly

Wonderful House

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

Exceeded expectations!

We had a wonderful experience for our son's navy bootcamp graduation! The home was clean, cozy and spacious, bright and beautiful. We loved the popcorn machine, open design, and fun tri-levelish layout. We don't have basements in AZ so the kids loved that feature. We arrived early and was able to check in immediately! We left some graduation decorations in a kitchen drawer for future families. Extremely satisfied, thank you very much!!

Beautiful home

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!

Great Vacation home away from home

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.

Great location plenty of space

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.

Nice house, close to base, great place to relax.

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!

Navy Graduation

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.

Bootcamp Graduation

If you are looking for a place to stay for your loved one that is Graduating Bootcamp, this location was PERFECT! Have you seen the notes from the Sarge yet and his shortcut advise... This location is set up perfectly for the shortcuts. You will be to base in no time, which means more time with your Sailor. The set up of this house is also PERFECT. You can have many guests, all will have a bed to sleep in or maybe a very comfy couch. The set up allows for privacy if you want it or has plenty of space to for all to enjoy each others company. There are some local restaurants in the area within walking distance or other restaurants within a 15-20 minute drive depending on what you are looking for. I HIGHLY recommend TUTES bakery, just check it out! The owner is very informative about expectations and was responsive to messages. The arcade was a HUGE hit with our family. This was an AMAZING home like experience for our family and our SAILOR.

RTC Graduation 4/11/2024

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!)

Excellent Stay at VRBO Rental - Perfect for Navy Graduation and Exploring Chicago

Meticulously Clean: The property was spotless. Spacious: -Three living rooms, ideal for adults and teenagers. Prime Location: - Minutes from the Navy base (great for graduations). - 20 minutes from Six Flags. - 40 minutes from downtown Chicago. Travel Tip: - Take the train to avoid Chicago’s hectic traffic and expensive parking. - Our 16-year-old navigated the city traffic – impressive but nerve-wracking! Parking Advisory: - Street parking is required. - Vigilant ticketing around midnight. We got a ticket at 1 AM our last day had been moving our car by 6 AM daily. - Host was not to blame he had provided clear parking regulations. Outstanding Host: - Immediate response to a water issue in the basement. - Very prompt and attentive. Overall Experience: - Fantastic stay. - Perfect home for a group. - cute neighborhood - Highly recommended for a spacious, clean, and well-located rental with a responsive host.

Navy Graduation

If your loved one is graduating from Great Lakes, this place is perfect. Great location, beautiful accommodations. The beds were so comfortable. It had everything you could need. Our sailor was super grateful for a "home" cooked meal. So much better than staying in a hotel.
