Perks for the Parents

A family-friendly spacious home in Lakeview, Chicago, surrounded by green parks yet just a short trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It sleeps 9 + 1. Adults will love the spacious primary bedroom suite here, with a full shower and whirlpool tub, plus the relaxing deck outside to watch while the kids play in the backyard. If you want to keep fit, there’s a Peloton bike to work out during your stay, and the kids will be entertained by the hosts’ toys and games in the play room. Take a trip into the city for a dose of culture and sightseeing: visit the art museums and world-class theaters, wander the beautiful Millennium Park, and take in the awe-inspiring bold architecture from the top of the 360 Chicago observatory.

Why Kids Love it

The residence has plenty of toys and books for babies and children under 6. It’s a great family space with a living room large enough for wheeled toys, a play room, colorful kids’ bedrooms, and a backyard swing set (visible from the deck, where parents can watch in peace). There’s a choice of parks and playgrounds within 5-10 minutes’ walk (try Juniper Park, Blaine Field, Lakeview HS playground, Cubs Park, or Sheil Park) and when you’re ready to explore, this city is full of family-friendly attractions: visit Lincoln Park Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, the Museum of Science & Industry, the Adler Planetarium, the Field Museum (for dinosaur bones!) or the Chicago Children’s Museum - all within 20 minutes’ drive.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 1 week. The home has 2 spaces for parking in the garage but car hire is not essential. Stair gates are currently installed in several parts of the house. The backyard is accessed via the basement and via steps up to the first floor. There is a study/bedroom in the basement which will remain locked during guests’ stays. The house comes with air conditioning, 3 children's and 2 adult bikes to borrow, dishwasher, washer/dryer, TV, and WiFi. This is also a great residence for parents with babies or toddlers: it comes with toys, a baby monitor, pack’n’play, children’s utensils, changing table, crib, and high chair.

The fourth bedroom is located in the basement and has a single plus trundle bed. The basement also features a living area with a queensize sofabed, plus a wet bar and access to the backyard. On the first floor, the living areas all lead off from the kitchen: a living room with fireplace, dining area, and play room.

Style Notes

Understated modern. Traditional yet contemporary; refined yet comfortable. The soft, natural tones throughout the home are cozy and calm - perfect for tired travelers - and it features hardwoods throughout (aside from the soft carpeted basement). This bright and light house boasts new built-in storage throughout, including a refurbished kitchen with white counter-tops, fresh and light cabinetry and Wolf appliances. We love the arched window in the main bedroom, the glass bricks in the bathroom, and the fun spotty wallpaper in the children’s bedroom.

Lakeview, Chicago

Lake beaches and the Chicago Cubs

Bordered by Lake Michigan to the east and lying around 15 minutes’ drive north of downtown Chicago, this large and diverse neighborhood has plenty to recommend it to visiting families. Cycle, walk or rollerblade along the lakefront path, swim in the lake and play on its beaches, or walk to Wrigley Field for Cubs matches.
