They had a good amount of cookware and dishes, but no containers to store anything leftover during the stay. It was very convenient for our bootcamp graduation visit.

We stayed here for our son’s PIR (7/30/26) We chose this over a hotel because we wanted a place that everyone could relax, have a bed and their space to unwind. The home was comfortable and met all our needs. Our host recommended a few places to eat which were spot on! We felt safe in the neighborhood and the 12 minute commute to base made driving back and forth for our sailor easy. Communication, checking in and out was easy too.

The place was great for our mini family vacation. Very welcoming and clean, spacious rooms and the game room was a perfect addition. I Definitely recommend it. Very close to the navy base for those families that have future recruits graduating.

The house was very well-maintained, extremely clean and well set up for our family. This is the best vacation rental I’ve stayed in where the kitchen was properly stocked with enough pots and pans to make a proper meal! There’s a coffee maker, dishwasher, toaster, gas, stove, microwave, plenty of dishes and utensils. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels as well. It’s served us well for our four night stay. I would highly recommend staying here!

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.

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 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!

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.

I would recommend this house to anyone who has a larger family going to Bootcamp Graduation. Has lots of bed one room had 2 sets of bunk beds. The house was clean. Easy to get to the base for graduation. Not a lot around, but shopping and restaurants are really not far away. There is a bakery across the street was really good. Owner was very responsive. I would Stay there again if we needed to visit the base again. I feel fairly priced.

The property wasn’t terrible but do feel it could have been a little more than surface cleaned prior to arrival.
