Family-friendly holiday rentals in North Chicago

Christine’s place was the perfect get-away for a family vacation close to home. The lake was beautiful and the place was spotless and inviting. It felt like you walked in to your own home. It’s close to places to eat and there is even a community space just a few houses down that is lively if the weather is nice. I’m hoping to come back again!

This was a very nice house and it accommodated 16 people with no problem at all. The host is very responsive and it was very clean and felt like home

Great stay! Thanks for making it so easy. Big space for lots of family to be together and have space.

Great place to stay! Fausto was very responsive and left treats/drink in the fridge for us. He was a wonderful host and would go back!

i loved this airbnb, great spot if you just want to explore chicago. max was super quick with responses and helpful with any questions i had.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Daniel’s place! The house is beautiful and the view is stunning. It was really clean and felt very welcoming. We traveled with grandparents and kids and everyone found something to enjoy. The pool table was a huge hit, as was the badminton set and the multiple outdoor seating areas. This one is highly recommended!

Great location and amazing amenities!

We enjoyed our stay at Michelle's place! We were visiting our son who recently moved to Chicago, and it was just a few blocks away from his apartment. The Ukranian Village neighborhood in Chicago is very cool....neat architecture, very walkable, etc. We went to the Field Museum and also went to a Cubs game while we were there. Her place was just as described, very clean, and Michelle left many extras (snacks, filtered water, etc.) for us! Would recommend her place!

I would highly recommend Dennis' place. It was super clean. Had all the amenities you may want. Close to a lot of places yet quiet. We felt totally safe and loved the balcony.

We loved our stay at Kyle’s place - it was decorated SO cute (I went with two girlfriends and I’m pretty sure we all squealed with joy when we first opened the door). The location was perfect - just a quick walk to all the shops and restaurants Logan Square had to offer - and to public transportation (which we used the whole time in Chicago). The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet; we all felt very safe. When I come back to Chicago, I will absolutely be staying here again. Thanks for sharing your space with us, Kyle! We loved it! (Side note: you gave me so many ideas for house decor, your style is impeccable!)

Very comfy apartment in a great neighborhood. We were in town for a baseball game and it’s a terrific place for that, just about a 20-minute walk to Wrigley Field. The only thing to be concerned about is the stairs: there are two flights to get into the apartment and they’re fairly steep and small, so if you have mobility issues that would be a concern. I don’t and had no problem. Karen is a lovely host and was very helpful when I was getting into the place and unloading my stuff from my car. There are tons of restaurants and coffee shops in the area, so it’s a great place to explore and hang out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 We had a wonderful stay! The space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The host was super responsive and made check-in seamless. We especially appreciated the little touches and great local recommendations. The neighborhood felt safe and was close to everything we needed. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

This was the perfect place to stay while we were visiting for my daughter‘s graduation from Northwestern. Andersonville has tons of restaurants and shops that are within very easy walking distance anytime we needed anything The house were incredibly responsive. Make sure you brush up on your parallel parking skills before visiting as you will need them on a daily basis. That being said even if the street parking was full, we were able to park our car close by on the main road.

Our family loved our weeklong stay. Perfectly located with beautiful wood details and stocked with games for the kids, it was charming and convenient. Paul and Sarah were very helpful and we had everything we needed. We would all be happy to stay here again.

Really enjoyed our stay! We found it easy to get everywhere we wanted. If you get a chance check out Move Along Coffee a few blocks away.

Loved our stay. Right in the middle of everything we wanted to do in Chicago. If we couldn't walk to it, public transportation was readily available. Stephanie was always friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again.

Run, don't walk, to book this location for your Chicago stay. The view of the Chicago skyline is perfect, even better than if you stayed in Downtown itself, sometimes all you see is the wall of another building and no view. The instructions how to get there are very clear, if you're a little intimidated like I was about going to a big city never fear. The instructions are clear, easy to follow, and transit is close by to take you wherever you want to go. Overall great trip, thank you!

Clean, roomy place. Short drive to stores or walk/shuttle to resort pool/restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. The only disappointment was the golf course was closed.

What a lovely and hospitable place! We loved our time there. The level of comfort was unmatched. We would happily return. Truly a wonderful experience!

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!

This apartment had everything that I needed during my work-and-play trip to Chicago. Easy access to public transportation, pleasant walks to the river and the west loop, and the gym and pool were awesome. Stephanie was extremely quick to respond and friendly from start to finish. I would be very comfortable staying here again next time I’m in Chicago.

The rooms were very nice and seemed to have been well kept and updated. All questions were answered promptly and fully. Would recommend to anyone needing a room there.

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.
