Family-friendly vacation rentals in Illinois

This is our 2nd time staying at James's beautiful Galena home. James thought of everything. All the kitchen appliances that you need to make your meals. Plenty of room for everyone. James was quick to respond and very helpful. We plan to stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and plan to stay here again soon. Everything was clean. Unique place with everything you need to enjoy your stay.

This was our second visit to Amanda’s and just like the first time, it left my boys with fun memories. We will be back next summer.

This was our third time staying at this property and we’re looking forward to stay again next time we’re in Chicago. Hans was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The place is spacious and comfortable. It’s quite, full equipped kitchen and nice backyard. I highly recommend this place

Stayed here for a girl’s trip! The home is lovely. The game room downstairs was a blast. The deck in back was perfect for drinks and conversation at night and calm morning coffee in the morning! Todd is quick to respond if anything is needed. Would definitely go back

This home was SPECTACULAR. It was spotless. Even the outside decks had zero spider webs or cobwebs. It was like we were in our own world, no distractions. Frogs and crickets made for lovely sleeping. If I could give this a 20 star rating I would. We loved seeing the wildlife, including the cows that showed up at the fence the last day. We didn't want to leave. You will not be disappointed by this property.

Stephen was a great host. The grounds are beautiful! Very peaceful and quiet. The house is nice and cozy. I will definitely stay there again!

We had a great stay in Logan Square. The location has walkable access to the Blue Line making downtown easy. While this is a lower level unit, this does not feel at all like your standard “garden level”. It was full of windows and bright. Furniture was very comfortable. Bathrooms well appointed with amazing shower pressure. The bedroom is so quiet you get a great nights sleep. Bonus points for lamps on BOTH sides of the bed. The closet had high quality hangers plus good storage. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking or for storing leftovers from fabulous restaurants in area. The garage is a great bonus. Our young adult children live in the area and it was prefect for them to come over, hang out and visit with us. We spent time outside in the garden area with the fire table. Bryan was very responsive and helpful through our four-night stay. We will be back!

Beautiful home, great location and had everything we needed for our stay. We will be back!

Just like the description! Pet friendly with a beautiful fenced in back yard!

very comfortable , quiet, and private. a nice little space for a weekend.

Jamie was a really amazing host! She was friendly, helpful, caring and went over and beyond to make sure me and my kids were comfortable and had everything we need. Gave us lots of great recommendations to restaurants and as a first timer in Chicago she made sure I was aware of the traffic and other helpful information! My kids LOVE her she was vey nice, patient and gentle with them. Kid friendly house/area VERY quiet. The beds are the BEST after a long day of traveling very comfortable. The place was beautiful very nice decor and nicely maintained. We will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Chicago.

Place was just as described. Easy instructions to enter and house manual was clear. Steve checked in to ensure all was well upon arrival

Bill & Jen's AirBnB is within walking distance of the Lincoln monument! That was really cool to discover. Their home is spacious and clean. Every room has a wall unit air conditioner, and they all worked.

Our stay at the farm loft in Carrollton, Illinois was absolutely delightful. The space is adorable, tastefully decorated, cozy, and incredibly comfortable. It was the ideal retreat from the summer heat, staying refreshingly cool even on the warmest days. The location couldn’t be better. Nestled right in the heart of the quaint town of Carrollton, the loft is just a short stroll from a variety of charming boutiques and local gems. Whether I was enjoying a relaxing morning coffee or exploring the nearby shops, everything I needed was right at my fingertips. I can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with small-town charm and thoughtful touches. I’ll definitely be back!

Excellent stay and valuable advice from Emilia when we needed it

Beautiful views, great layout, and extremely dog friendly with nice touches make this place stand out! Very close to all the state parks in the area, but there’s plenty to do on site as well. Check in was seamless, we had clear instructions throughout, and the place was perfect!

This was our second time at Ho Hum East and we had a great time! The new deck updates were super nice adding outdoor space to layout food and enjoy most meals on the deck. The outdoor kitchen wasn't completed yet but, will be a great addition to the new deck when it's done. The main bath was newly remodeled and was very nice and spacious. The lake front was well maintained and a great space for us to spend most of our time enjoying the water, sun, fishing, boating, nature and wildlife. The dock was a little wobbly although, we were told that was being replaced at some point but it worked for us. The airbnb owner provided a paddleboard, rubber raft, corn hole boards and other outdoor items to use. The proximity of the home was only a few minutes from amenities i.e. pool, golf course, beach and The Cove (restaurant). The only drawback is all the steps - it would be great if there was a pulley system or other system to take items up and down the steps from the house to the lake front.

Thanks Ryan. We had a great time.

Proposed to my girlfriend out there and it was so beautiful and peaceful thank you!

This was a great spot. The surrounding area is really beautiful, especially when I visited (in the late spring), and lots of the house layout helps you appreciate this, whether it’s inside or out. The home is spacious, the fire pit was lovely at night (and well stocked), and the host was plenty responsive. Would stay again.

Even better than advertised. Sandy was wonderful and so was the home. We were very pleased with our stay and her communication. The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, close to the strip, around golf courses, wineries, great food, fishing, historical places, and kayaking. Thanks again Sandy, we will be talking to you soon I’m sure.

We had a fantastic stay for our “Mom’s-Away” weekend. One thing to note- google maps brought us down a different street where there is no access to the house. Unsure why that was the default direction, but you just need to ensure you take the designated street to get to the house. It was especially confusing as there must be another rental since there were signs that said “XYZ Home This Way” haha. The screened porch was so relaxing we spent the majority of our time there.

We had a great time ! The house was beautiful clean and had so much to do. Location was perfect ! Would definitely visit again. Great hosts !
