Family-friendly vacation rentals in Homewood

My daughters and I celebrated Easter at Kim’s cottage It’s clean, beautifully furnished and she is extremely responsive (I mentioned I forgot OJ on the phone and she was in the area and she left two OJs at the door) The cottage is cozy and fun We grilled, dyed eggs, watched movies, played a board game and loved the hot tub It’s clean clean !!! Just book it It’s a jewel box

Our host was extremely tentative and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at the home. It was big enough to accommodate our family plus a few other visitors, plenty of beds, plenty of living space so people didn’t have to be on top of each other. Very close to downtown and the blue line which made going to the airport and downtown much more accessible. we didn’t even have to rent a car.

Excellent location, great space, responsive host.

10/10 recommend staying here if you’re looking for a place 45 minute drive into Chicago. Hot tub was the perfect addition. Would definitely stay here again

What an unbelievable find! This garden apartment is an 8 minute walk to my daughter’s apartment! I was looking for a place close to hers for a weekend visit. This place was perfect and it had a garage to park my car in! The interior was pristine. Beautifully decorated, the bed was comfy, big beefy towels for the shower, and you wanted for nothing! This place was fully stocked with necessities! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an extremely nice stay in a great neighborhood with the added security of a garage to park in! Oh and there is a nice patio in the back yard if you want to sit outside on a nice day and relax! I will definitely be coming back the next time I come to visit! Thanks Bryan!

This place was extremely great! It was close to downtown and lots of restaurants and food near by the bnb! Only thing I’ll say is the shower head is kind of flimsy but besides that everything is nice clean and the rooms are huge! Very peaceful and quiet over there!

Great house with lots amenities. Hilary was very responsive and accommodating.

We had a great stay at Delphine's place in Uptown. The location is excellent, being on a tree-lined street, but very close to the Red Line, the Broadway bus, Andersonville, Little Asia, grocery stores and more. As we had a little kid, being right on top of the little park downstairs was also very convenient. On the flipside, it can get noisy in the summer with lots of kids/playgroups coming there, but as parents, we didn't mind. Delphine herself was very quick to respond via Whatsapp to all our queries before and during our stay. One thing to keep in mind at her place is that you are very much living in their home. If you are looking for an apartment that is only intended for guests, this is not it. While it is plenty big as a 2BR/2BA, it is full of stuff, furniture, photos, books, toys, etc. They have made a very nice office space in the main living area, but the drawback is that the living area is now very cramped. The main bedroom has 2 queen size beds in it, which is a bit weird, so we just ended up using one bed to keep our clothes on. The other bedroom with bunk beds is excellent for kids and more spacious. So overall, a great place and a great stay, and especially good if you are a couple with 1 or 2 kids. Just a bit cramped and crowded with stuff. We stayed for 2 weeks.

Kyle's apartment was a visual feast, with fun and eclectic decor, furniture, and artwork! The listing states some quirks, which was accurate, but nothing that diminished the quality of our stay (for our family of 3). We didn't have a long enough stay to enjoy the full kitchen and dining table much, but would be a well-supplied kitchen for preparing full meals. The shower had some quirks but luckily Kyle even prepared a Youtube video to show and describe exactly how to turn on the shower. Part of the quirks of an older apartment building is radiator heating, which gives some 'clanking' and other annoying noises at times, so if you're noise-sensitive that's something to keep in mind. Kyle's local guidebook was helpful (unfortunately too long of waits at the places we had hoped to try) but found other options in the area for dinner. Our family of 3 had plenty of space for sleeping and lounging. This is a really cute space in a great location and a good close to downtown spot.

Jamie’s place was a perfect spot to stay in Chicago. There is access to the L within a few miles (with parking structure), and there are many walkable places locally. We highly recommend Caesar Pierogis on West Irving (offers gluten free pierogis). The neighborhood is charming and safe for walking. After long days of exploring, we came back to Jamie’s place and enjoyed watching Netflix and relaxing in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with utensils, and there is a grocery store within walking distance. Jamie is a very thoughtful host, and her home is quite accommodating. We had a lovely get away. Thank you, Jamie!

Alex was great at communicating and following up. We had some questions and she was responsive. Also goes beyond expectations on things like forgetting coats :0) - thank you! The location is great. Short walk to a Main Street of bars and restaurants, kid friendly too - happy campers pizza joint was a great reco! Also close to the brown line train station and not too far into town - we walked it with children and it was fine. House is really large, spacious. I know some have mentioned about hearing the train, but that is part of city living, it was more than fine. Enjoyed the stay, would recommend it and would go back again if visiting Chicago. Thanks Alex!

We 3 loved our stay at Joseph and William's place! The apartment was clean, bright, and filled with art. The kitchen was lovely, the beds were all comfortable and the shower was very hot. We loved the back deck, and I imagine it gets used so much in warmer weather. The location is perfect. We walked to restaurants and shops in Andersonville. It was just minutes from Loyola Univ. which is why we were in town.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here, and it is always exactly what I need. The space is great, the neighborhood is safe, and there's a Lou Malnatis and Portillos within a 15 min drive. Will definitely stay again!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful space. It was perfect to spend time as a family while moving our daughter in Logan Square. The park nearby was so easy to manage for our dog who joined us. Paul was responsive and helpful. Got to meet his pup who was adorable. Will definitely stay here again

The place was beautiful and very close to the lake. Jennifer and Gary are great host and thought of every need a person could have while staying at their place. I would stay here again!

Rick was a great host, instructions/info was really clear. Rick & Helen live upstairs, it's a basement/garden apartment. Rick popped down (by arrangement) to give us a quick run down, advice on local area/restaurants, places of interest. Everything worked out perfectly for us, our son & his GF live about 10mins away but their place is too small to stay with them (& I'm highly allergic to their cats). Although Rick's apartment only has one bedroom, the space is VERY spacious as the pictures, table for 6 & sitting area for 4-5 in the Kitchen and then the games sitting room with pinball, pool, stereo & cool vinyl, TV, fireplace & 2 sofa's. For us, this was great, after dinner we would come back, play games and hang out. FYI I shared my allergy with Rick & Helen as they do allow pets, they had guests prior with a dog and I was fine so thorough cleaning! (My Tip: There's a bed as you walk in but the heating there is a little noisy, so if a group - earplugs would handle.) Highly recommend!

Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing stay at this place. Felt like home.The space was clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure every detail was perfect. The location was ideal, close to local attractions yet peaceful and quiet. It truly felt like a home away from home, and I can’t wait to book again for my next trip. Highly recommended!

Fantastic location, felt incredibly safe, and was exactly as described. Great space and made for the perfect spot for our family during our stay in Chicago. Would absolutely return.

A great stay right near a Main Street. Tons of options for going out but still quiet in your space. Warning. You will smell the BBQ restaurant and you will salivating.

Beautiful house and surroundings. Great place to relax with a large family gathering. Lots for kids to do inside and out. We enjoyed the pool, fire pit, and sports areas. Hosts were very responsive and friendly.

The place is unbelievably well located! One block away from the Chicago Riverwalk and one block from the world famous Michigan Av. You can walk anywhere from here, including Lincoln park, the Hancock tower, Willis tower and the millennium park. Awesome place. It is noisy though! But that’s the price you pay for being right in the center of the action! The place is lovely, comfortable and very nicely furnished!
