This property was amazing! We hosted friends from all over the country for a reunion and it could not have been more perfect for our group. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor fireplace, the kitchen and gathering spaces. All of the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely . Bob, the owner, was great and responsive to all our needs. I would highly recommend this property!

We traveled to Glen Ellen for our son’s wedding. The property was perfectly suited to hosting the groomsmen the morning of the wedding and an open house brunch the day after. Bob was great, responded to any issues quickly and was committed to making our family feeling welcome.

Incredibly beautiful property for our wedding weekend

Thank you for a wonderful weekend in Glen Ellyn, Bob! My wife and I got married at the Morton Arboretum and wanted a place to stay with our bridal parties. Bob’s beautiful home served as the PERFECT location to get ready and rest all weekend. The house truly feels magical, and we still have family and friends commenting on how beautiful the home was. We highly recommend booking for anyone who needs a place to stay with a larger party!

Perfect for our extended family

We stayed four nights with our kids and grandkids. It was the perfect house for our family with ample room, a great location and wonderful historic features. It is a beautiful home, nestled in the historic district of charming Glen Ellyn, close to the Lake Ellen Park as well as downtown Glen Ellyn. Cold weather and rain prevented us from being able to use the cozy patio, firepit and huge outdoor fireplace, but would be a great added benefit when the weather is right. Bob the host was very attentive and super responsive to all of our questions. Truly a terrific long weekend all around!

Comfortable stay in a unique and historical Glen Ellyn home

My family loved our stay at Bob's home. In the description, he mentions that he loves for people to stay here and that definitely shines through in the overall experience. Whether it was the easy communication with Bob throughout or the numerous amenities, he made us feel very welcome. Unlike other rentals we have stayed in that are vacation properties, this felt more like we were staying at the home of a friend. All the rooms were comfortable and we had everything we could possible need. We hosted a large dinner with family from the area and everyone raved about this home. The location was excellent for walking to the park/lake and to downtown. We were sad to leave but will definitely be using this property again in the future.

The property is excellent in a lot of aspects. Firstly, it is aesthetically beautiful, the decor is very homely and inviting, and most rooms have attached bathrooms with them, which makes it easy to have a gathering of large groups of people without compromising on privacy. The outdoor setting is beautiful and cozy as well. The property is also historic, so great for hosting events and photos for any big events. The host was very welcoming, understanding and communicative. The instructions for entry and checkout were good, but would suggest any future guests to look it up on a larger screen, rather than on the phone. We enjoyed the stay immensely and tried to use all the great things that the property has to offer. From playing the piano, to enjoying bonfires and drinks outside, and everything in between. A complete hoot.The street parking is an issue, we got a parking ticket at 5:12 AM even though the guest parked the car at 5 AM and not overnight. But that is more on the city and their laws, but something that future guests can be aware of.
