Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Illinois

Very clean and well maintained home. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and other utensils. Our grandkids didn’t want to leave the awesome basement!

An amazing place for a weekend get away with friends. Rodger was a great host, always on top of things and answering questions that we had, and going above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing! The pictures do not do this place justice!

Lia's place was perfect for our weekend getaway. When we arrived it was easy to check in with the keypad. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea essentials, and the living room had plenty of throw blankets to use. The "Moon" room was comfy and private, and we had no issues keeping it climate controlled. Overall we had a great stay in Lia's quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

We booked this place because it was just a few dollars more than hotels in tue area. What a great call because we had an entire house. This place was perfect for us to come relax with our college son and make him a nice dinner! The house far exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect! We loved the old feel, with updated touches. Cooked on the grill outside and even had a small fire in the fire pit. Such a peaceful stay! Thank you Jill! You were so quick to respond to any of our messages! We will definitely search for this place in the future!

Amazing place! The house had a lot of history but plenty of sleep space for our family. The Land was breathtaking! We will be back!

The home is a great place for a family, we were able to stay a week comfortably with younger kids .

Ur home was beautiful n relax to stay there n fun to be in the lake love it thank u luci for letting us stay at ur beautiful home

Amazing house, great views, great communication with owner, and overall great experience! It does technically fit 10 people but that’s assuming that 8 people have to share a bed with someone else which was less than ideal for our group but could be totally someone else could be looking for. Definitely 5/5 stars and would not change a thing about our experience!

The Iklektik House is an absolute gem! Everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay, just enough space for two in a bright, clean, and cozy space with tons of charming little historic details and charm, while still perfectly accomodating for a modern stay. The neighborhood was fantastic with lots to do and see, and we much appreciated the amenities Mindy and Tony offer in their clean and welcoming space (coffee! Plenty of fresh linens and we could have cooked a meal if we had more time) Parking on the street was always easy but we ended up walking a lot since there are so many shops and places to eat in the neighborhood. 11/10 - would absolutely book again!

A great place to stay for a family to explore downtown Chicago. The location is convenient, with easy access to major attractions, and restaurants. The home was clean, cozy, and well-equipped — we truly felt like we were at our own home. The host was responsive and thoughtful, which made our stay even more comfortable. Highly recommended!

Kevin and Jamie were so responsive and helpful! So so kind!!! Truly a peaceful place - I can not wait to visit again!!

This was a beautiful place with an excellent view of Lake Michigan. Both rooms had comfortable beds and setup with everything you need. Kitchen is well stocked, but we mostly ordered Grub Hub, lol. Loved spending time here and great place to hangout and chat with friends. It is right on the water and we really enjoyed watching the waves crash against the barrier. It is on the 2nd floor, but the stairs are not bad at all. Felt very safe and having the parking space is a great perk. Very commutative and checked in with us to make sure everything was fine. Would definitely stay here again!

Daniela’s place was perfect for us! Tons of space and she was so kind about the kids’ noise - we try to keep it down but with 3 it’s not always easy. Beautiful apartment - super clean and comfortable - I considered for the first time moving to Evanston someday. Thank you Daniela!

Our stay was very nice and comfortable, a nice place to gather and hang out as a group.

was as charming as the pictures

Beautiful clean home in a quiet neighborhood. It was perfect for our family and the hosts were helpful and hospitable. When we return to Chicago in the future we know we have a perfect place to stay!! 😊

We love hiking so we visited the Garden of the Gods, the Little Grand Canyon and the Giant City Nature Trail. This cabin is in a great location for visiting the Shawnee National Forest and perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking. The grill for making dinner was so clean, as well as the hot tub for relaxing. Also a fire pit out back. The kitchen had everything you could need. Shampoo and conditioner were also provided. This is by far the best Airbnb I have visited, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! We had a great time :)

We had a lovely time at Brittany's place. The place was clean, comfortable, and supplied with thoughtful amenities. We really appreciated the attention to detail. We were committed to plans during the day but when we got back in the evenings, we enjoyed sitting on the porch looking out at the water and listening to the frogs. Private and quiet- love that you can't see neighbors and the nature trail out back is lovely for meandering around. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Brittany!

This is a perfect little cottage near the lake. It had everything we needed, including nice outdoor patio spaces for eating and a big firepit. You can't see much of the lake from the cottage, but it's easy to get to - across a quiet road and down a very long flight of stairs. There's a nice big dock for fishing, swimming, star gazing at night, boating, and just relaxing and enjoying the view (it's a particularly scenic section of the lake because there is no development on the other side of the water - just forest!). We loved having access to kayaks and enjoyed fishing off the dock. Would love to return in summer when we can swim and do even more water activities!

Had an amazing stay! Was a really relaxing and peaceful time. And so great to be able to go in the hot tub after hiking in the area. Would go back again!

THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH! We had a fantastic weekend. Ma's Cabin was the perfect "home-base" for our hiking adventures. Was so peaceful to relax after hiking all the trails. Everything we needed for our getaway. Sid and Patty were so friendly and of course Lillie stole the show ❤️. Thank you again!

Really enjoyed a peaceful relaxing weekend, no complaints.

Another great stay on the property. We love the location and proximity to everything. Also, the property is accomodating for our fishing boat. Tom-tom (the cat) was a fantastic little amenity at the cabin. He greeted us upon our return and joined us for our morning coffee. Give him all the love!

We needed a peaceful evening away and this was perfect. Wonderful porch to sit on and soak in the fresh air and places to walk and unwind.
