Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Elgin

Jane was a wonderful host. Her place was so clean and quaint, felt very safe, and Jane provided such nice amenities and snacks. Checkin was easy peasy and Jane was a delight to chat with. We would definitely stay again!!

The house was beautiful! We had such a nice stay and we love the area. The house was clean and so nice. Especially love the fenced in yard for kids.

I thought the place was quite wonderful. The host was very welcoming and accommodating. Each room was tidy and decorated beautifully. The house itself smelled amazing, and the many live plants around the place definitely attributed to that. I loved that there were many things for the children as well; the lively decor, the plethora of toys and books, and even the arcade cabinet downstairs. I also loved how child assessable the bunk bed room was; the nightlights, the easy to climb beds. The house is well equipped with much needed necessities. Would stay again. 😊

Our hostess was very accommodating. She was willing to help us if there was something we needed or had a question about. We found out that staying at the peaceful cottage was very peaceful and relaxing. We truly enjoyed our stay there. Betsy is a fantastic hostess.

Great place. Have been repeatedly staying here whenever in town. Clean and spacious home. Host has been always kind and responsive. Would 100% recommend this 5* place.

The house was very clean, easy to find, and lots of nearby parks. The beds and sofa were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with plates, pots, and silverware. Maggie was responsive and allowed us late check-out :)

comfortable and convenient to my foosball tournament, easy access to most things

I coming back to Rebecca place when I have time. She is a best host I ever had! Helpful, if is any problem but fortunately I didn’t needed any help. It’s my “ second “ home if I needed to runaway for couple days. Rebecca makes sure her guess feels good. I just so lucky I found this place! That’s why her place always booked. Thank you for having me here again!

Excellent host and excellent Airbnb. I fell in love with Cary, the area is so beautiful and peaceful. The Airbnb itself is the perfect amount of space and Vicki made sure to include all the amenities. We felt right at home. We will definitely book again when back in the area.

This apartment was super cozy and warm. Everything was labeled nicely and everything we needed could be found in the kitchen and the bathroom.

We enjoyed our experience in Crystal Lake and staying in this sweet home. Brent was an ideal host; accommodating, replied quickly, provided suggestions on local spots and even further recs once asked. His instructions are clear which made arrival/departure easy. The home was a great size, clean & we loved having a king bed & large master bedroom (great closet space too!) We enjoyed the balcony area overlooking the downtown area which was so fun to explore during our time there. Thanks again, Brent! We’ll be back.

This is the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in and we’ve been back so many times it feels like coming home. Softest sheets ever! Cute decor. Nicole is a fantastic host and if ever needed responds quickly. But we usually don’t need to contact her because everything is perfect!

Great stay!

Great host, responsive, very attentive to make sure the stay is peaceful and very clean space. The first thing I notice was how organized and how well thought out the space was.

Had a great experience, Kara the host was extremely kind and responsive with my questions and the place listed was exactly as it looked.Overall had a great stay!

We stayed at Jodi and Mike’s Airbnb for 3 days and absolutely loved it! The space felt like a cozy cabin -clean, thoughtfully decorated, and so relaxing. There was a little fireplace, smart-tv, two desks, and a big comfy sofa with lots of corners to relax. The kitchen was spacious and well-stocked, and we appreciated the breakfast items left for us. The bathroom even had drawers with travel essentials -such a thoughtful touch! The outdoor garden was beautiful with chairs to enjoy the sun. The location was perfect, it was just a short walk to cafes, breakfast spots, and downtown entertainment. There’s also a convenience store nearby. Jodi and Mike were so friendly and welcoming, but also gave us space during our stay. We’re already planning to come back!

When we were first looking for a place to stay, none of the available AirB&Bs looked great. A week later, we looked again, and suddenly Julia's place popped up. It was so much better looking, and with a fairer price, than any others I could find in the list. A two-bedroom that is a *real* two-bedroom, for the price that others were charging for a pull-out bed in the living room. It was just as beautiful in-person. We felt immediately at-home and comfortable. I'm someone who has insomnia, especially while traveling, but there, I had no problem sleeping somehow. Also, it truly is a short walk to the Blue Line, or even a just few steps from the 77 bus route, which goes to the Blue Line, or all the way right into downtown Chicago.

My daughter and I stayed at Izakaya Studio on a recent visit to Chicago. The studio is great and Brett made it so easy to locate everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The next time we stay I hope to spend more time exploring the neighborhood because there were so many restaurants and shops to choose from (lots of open-air patios and decks which would be so nice during the summer season). The walk to the blue line El stop felt safe and quick. We loved the studio's layout. The kitchen and bedroom areas were separate and Brett has two big, comfy chairs for relaxing, and ample island space for eating or using as a work space. My daughter had some virtual work meetings and the Wi-Fi was reliable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you'd need for meal prep. We ate out each day, but our delicious breakfast take-out came from a place right up the street called Yolk. I highly recommend the Izakaya Studio for a relaxing and fun visit to Chicago.

My family and I were in town for my nephew's graduation, and Marika's home was truly beautiful, so inviting, and comfortable. She definitely paid attention to details that made the stay even more cozy. Beautiful property, and well appointed! Easy lovely, 10 minute walk to town, also. We look forward to staying there again when in Geneva 😊

Great stay at Anne’s place. She was very communicative and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone coming to the Chicago area!

The time spent here was wonderful. This place has everything you need to feel at home away from home. Everything was clean and comfortable. The area was also really nice with tons of food and drinks within walking distance. The blue line is a short walk away and the busses run on the corner. I would definitely stay here again when coming back to Chicago.

Walid was very kind, and the place is exactly as described. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and overall, the space is very pleasant. I definitely recommend it!

This is a WONDERFUL one bedroom apartment that is both private and spacious! The owner/host has the space fabulously decorated with an eclectic mix of original contemporary artwork and antiques. Nothing is generic about the space and it has been outfitted for guests with loving care. The host, Kaye, clearly puts much trust in her guests with her charming decor and furnishings. The amount of space, the privacy and the home-y feel make it a place we'd love to return to.

The apartment was clean and spatious, better than in the pictures. It's located in a corner of Hyde Park, at a 15 minute walking distance from the University of Chicago. It is a very residential area, with not many shops or restaurants near by, but if you walk 15 minutes east you will find bars, grocery stores and a few restaurants. I came to do research in the library's archive so it was very convenient. I had some problems with the door code sequence, but Erika was very helpful and responsive. My only suggestion is that more detailed information about the check in is provided, because not everbody is familiarized with lockers and codes! But my general impression was very positive! I'd definitely stay there again.
