Vacation rentals with lake access in Cook County

Great location, close to all the action but just far enough to be peaceful. We loved having the back deck to sit outside and relax before a night out. I would absolutely recommend this location for a weekend or even longer.

This house was just as described on the website. It was in a great location. The house is beautiful and clean. Walking distance to Wrigley, many restaurants and also the train. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had the best stay in Old Town! The Airbnb was wonderful and spacious for our family.

I had an excellent stay at Jabeen’s house in Villa Park. The home was exactly as described, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was peaceful and quiet, perfect for a restful weekend. What truly made the experience stand out was the combination of thoughtful amenities and top-notch communication. I especially appreciated the fast Wi-Fi, well-stocked kitchen, reliable AC, and relaxing patio. When I mentioned that the blender wasn’t working, Jabeen immediately replaced it—an example of her responsiveness and attention throughout my stay. I highly recommend this place for families looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay in the area. Would definitely return!

This was a fantastic find! My whole party loved the place. It was clean and wonderfully located in a peaceful neighborhood close enough to transport to walk but far enough from the noise and bustle of downtown. Shawn was very responsive to any questions I had and was super kind and friendly! I absolutely would stay here again!!

Jimmy was friendly and helpful; his directions were clear and simple. The house is tidy and completely dust free. It’s inviting, but unpretentious, set in the most appealing area walking distance from a lake. Kitchen is suitably equipped. Towels were fluffy, bedding was inviting. AC gets cold.

Olusesan had a clean and peaceful space. I was only a couple of miles away from the concert venue to see Beyoncé. We had our own parking space and Hyde Park was such a cute little community. We did not want to leave! Thank you so much for your hospitality. May God bless you and all of your spaces. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

One block from the beach without the buzz. Feels residential and safe. Place is very clean. Have everything we need. Great place to explore the Indiana dunes national park. Would recommend

Lin communicated clearly and was helpful throughout the whole process. The space was perfect for our needs, close to the event we were there for and in a lovely neighborhood near a small park close to a variety of great family restaurants. Happy to go back should the need arise.

Jessica’s place was perfect for a weekend trip to Chicago with family. She was a very responsive and helpful host. We loved how walkable the location was - it was so easy to grab a coffee or bite and check out the farmer’s market and zoo. We highly recommend her space!

We had a most wonderful stay at Kayode's apartment which was very clean and matched all the descriptions in the listing and it was perfectly located for our purpose which was to be close to Hyde Park. Kayode was the perfect host and was extremely responsive and even when had a minor issue, he responded within minutes and had the issue resolved within the hour. Highly recommend Kayode as a host if you need an apartment in the Hyde Park area

We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated how responsive and accommodating Stephanie was! The view is beautiful and the surrounding area was great. Being right above a coffee shop was also extremely convenient.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable and it was great that they had amenities for a baby as we stayed here with our daughter and baby grandson. This apartment is in a great location in Lincoln Park. Buena North Deli is a short walk away as well as other markets. Cedar Palace Lebanese restaurant is just across the street (great food and great service) with other nice restaurants just a short walk away. Armitage station was walkable and we used the train everyday to get around in Chicago. Michael, the host, provided great instructions and recommendations for the area. He was very responsive made sure we had what we needed. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Chicago.

Nice location and comfortable for 4 people. Little difficult to get in from the parking space. Keypad only worked part of the time. Great to have an included parking space! Overall a nice short stay.

I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Chicago. The host communicated very well and was very welcoming! This place was very clean spacious, and the beds were very comfortable! Thank you for Hosting us!

From booking to check out Wendy and Matt communicated with me every step of the way. Very responsive, helpful, and friendly. The Airbnb is just as described and is absolutely beautiful, but also comfortable and homey. They have thought of everything. My husband and I both had to work some and the desk set up with extra large monitors was the best surprise! The location is perfect-walkable to some really fun restaurants. We went to Happy Camper, Small Cheval, and Mr. Gyros. The red line is right around the corner and we felt very safe walking the neighborhood after dark. You will meet many people on the street with friendly dogs :) The ability to park our car off the street was also one of the best perks of this place! Our family couldn’t have picked a better place to spend our time in Chicago. Thank you Matt and Wendy!

I had a fantasic stay at this Airbnb! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making our visit smooth from start to finish. We also loved and appreciated the attention to detail of having all the essentials for a perfect stay. The location was great and close to where we wanted to go, but still quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay!

Great place for a large group of people! Although it is surrounded by other homes, the trees behind the property give it a very private feel. It is a quick walk to the beach which is very convenient. All of the neighbors were very kind to our group as we walked around. We tried out the New Mexican restaurant down the street and it was delicious. This was one of Sylwia’s recommendations. She did a great job of giving us a list of things to do around the area before we arrived. There’s 2 train stations very close, which we utilized to get to Chicago. It was about an hour trip and very convenient to get the Portage/Ogden Dunes Station from the Airbnb. We were a little worried about the location considering Gary does not have the best reputation, but it was closer to Portage, and in a very safe area. We never once felt unsafe. All in all, Sylwia was great, the Airbnb was great, and I would recommend her listing!!

This place is a great getaway. If your looking for a place in Miller Beach area and want to see copious amounts of varying wildlife just hanging around then this spot is just what your looking for. The host Blake is very responsive and respectful. I stayed for over a week with my dog and he didn’t want to leave. You won’t either.

Patrick’s place is a rare find. Extraordinary Airbnb! It’s the most thoughtfully supplied kitchen. We enjoyed cooking brunch looking out on the park trails. We were lucky with perfect weather, which added to the loveliness. I know the area, to me the location is perfect…especially if you like long pretty walks. Thank you for sharing this special house, Patrick. Check out the home’s website.

It's worth it!! It's been a very pleasant stay!!! Thank you so much for everything.

We had a fantastic stay! Super close to the Lake, which is just what we wanted. House looked exactly as pictured. Most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Overall, a great experience.

Beautiful house with lots of space, only a few minutes walk from beach. Equpied with everything you need (kitchen tools, towels)

*sniffles* I’m so sad to go, really. Five stars all around. Cozy. Clean. Quiet. All previous visitors have left accurate descriptions of this place so I will describe what I enjoyed the most; The water pressure in the basement shower!? I have a similar shower head in the mail now on it’s way to me. All I want is to mimic the sensation I first felt when it blasted every granule of sand off of my body and out of my HAIR. THE KITCHEN is fully kitted and set up intuitively. If you know your way around a kitchen- then the gold finch kitchen will feel like YOURS. I’m also eyeing all stainless steel cookware, now. Thanks Heidi. I’m not a pampered chef by any means, so I was grateful to have access to it all. Heidi had everything we needed to get a fire started and keep it going. The outdoor area outback is private and nestled in all the new growth from the spring. I 100% suggest you visit the Clutch bagel spot. The scratch cream cheese was divine. Caribbean roots: MUST TRY
