Amazing Stay

There were 5 women staying two nights for a local women's conference. The house was very clean with all the amenities you could ask for. The neighborhood was beautiful, quiet, and felt quite safe. I would have been comfortable taking a walk around the house alone had I had time! The town is so cute, too. Everything was in good repair and looked just like the pictures online. I would HIGHLY recommend this place. It was a lovely place to stay.

Great quiet place

Ami was a wonderful host - we had everything we needed (even a great smoothie blender and other extra small appliances), plus snacks left for us on the counter. There was soap in the bathrooms - even shampoo. It was a great experience - will stay again!

Very comfy and beautifully decorated.

Loved the townhouse and all the beautiful furnishings. The beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect for what we are doing in Chicago. We would definitely stay here again the next time we come back to the city. We had everything we needed. The owner was great too. We also love Manteno, a very cute little city.

Great amenities in a beautiful property

My family has stayed in one of the owners other properties as well and this one did not disappoint. The home is well stocked with quality hygiene products an the availability of bikes are a nice touch for family fun around the beautiful neighborhood.

Perfect fit and location

We came back to see family and bring our 2 foreign exchange students on a trip to see not only my hometown but Chicago as well. Home was bigger then we expected. Use of the garage was amazing. Owner very responsive. We will definitely stay here again when coming back home to visit. Being only 20 minutes from the train station was perfect for getting downtown and back with ease.

2nd visit inspired by 1st visit.

My second stay at this beautiful property was just as my first stay, clean, homie, and very comfortable! Ami is an excellent host! I have not experience a bad stay with Ami. If you are planning to visit the area you must look up Ami, you will be more than satisfied! The pictures online are nice, however, the live in experience of this beautiful home is more than pleasing! Thank you Ami for a wonderful stay!

Home away from home

The home is very clean and homie! The pictures do not give this beautiful property justice. The patio is very beautiful to sit in the morning and afternoon while sipping tea or coffee. Ami is a very gracious host. Ami was available prior, duriing, and after our stay. If you are ever looking for a property to stay in the area you must contact Ami. Thank you Ami and I and my family would love to stay in your lovely, peaceful, beautiful, home away from home property again!

Family reunion

The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The amenities were good, but the master bedroom bathroom has a bad drainage issue. The tub in that same bathroom has no rails to hold on to getting out of the tub. The carpet though out the house was dirty.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property and totally renovated it to make it a great place for people to enjoy and relax while being away. The home is on a quiet street close to parks and walking trails. We supply children and adult bicycles. We have bikes for all ages. If you need more bikes or a different size just ask and we will do our best to make your bike riding time enjoyable.

What makes this property unique

Some of the unique benefits of this home are the 65" smart TV over the fireplace in the living room. We also have added all the sport channels. There is also a 55" smart TV in the bedroom with the same benefits. The fireplace is an electric fireplace that can start with a click of the remote. It has an authentic look for a nice cozy night. So there are no worries with children around.
