We went to Chicago for the weekend and stayed in the first floor apartment on Hederson. The building, neighborhood, shops, bars, restaurants and location are perfect. The owners' pride shows in every detail of the meticulously maintained building. We were especially pleased with all the personal touches that made our stay delightful.

5 couples have stayed on the first 2 floors of the Lakewood Avenue property for the last 3 years and can't say enough wonderful things! First off the owner of the properties is great. She is attentive to your every need and/or want!!! She will work with you to fit your party into the best accomodations. The Lakewood home is absolutely beautiful!!! Very, very clean and beautifully decorated. She doesn't forget a thing. The kitchen is totally equipped to fix a fabulous meal (or venture out to Wrigleyville for a ton a great restaurants). We have stayed at other rentals in and around Chicago and this is by far the most reasonable and well equipped. We truly feel at home and you will too!!!

Party of seven adults stayed at the Newport Avenue guesthouse for a family wedding last year. You felt like you were right at home. So much better than any hotel stay with plenty of space. Immaculately clean with tasteful interiors, comfortable beds, perfect kitchen and great living spaces. Walking distance to Wrigley Field and to eclectic shopping and dining on Southport Avenue. “L” stop very near by to take you downtown. Loved the neighborhood. I got up every morning and walked just to see all the amazing homes nearby. Could not have asked for a better experience. Enjoyed your hospitality.

Chicago Guest Houses have made my new life as an ex-Chicagoan & a new retiree, possible and delightful. This past weekend I was able to attend five parties in Chicago, contributing food to three of them because I had the wonderful kitchen on Henderson to cook in and the beautifully decorated and heavenly comfortable master bedroom to relax in. The apartment really felt like I was at home (if I could decorate that well!).
If you love Chicago, this is the BEST place to stay while you are there.

My extended family stayed in Newport Avenue guest house over Thanksgiving weekend. There were 8 of us -- 5 adults and 3 small children. The home was exceedingly comfortable for the number of people. The owner has thought of everything: the kitchen was great for cooking large family and holiday meals; the beds are wonderful; parking is convenient. It was a wonderful location from which to explore Chicago!

  • Liked — beds, location, decor
  • Disliked — It's a great value for a large city, but the price makes it something that I personally couldn't afford all the time. I liked it so much that I wish I could come back often!
