Enjoy Our Historic Sears Craftsman Bungalow

Stay in a lovely, historical Sears Craftsman Bungalow - stylishly updated for your comfort. Located in Chicago's western suburbs, we are a 10-15 minute walk to the Metra train station (Lombard) with easy access to everything the Windy City has to offer. Stay in a lovely and safe suburb while you enjoy our 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, nicely set up for your enjoyment. Cook meals in our well-equipped kitchen, hang out on the deck (weather permitting), or walk/bike the Illinois Prairie Path. Please make yourselves at home! One bedroom/bathroom is set up as a guest suite in the finished basement. The other two bedrooms & bath are on the main floor. The basement also has a huge sectional couch which comfortably can sleep 2 additional people, or we have an air bed as well. Bedroom 2 has bunk beds (one set with an upper and lower bunk, not 4 total beds). We are near the Union Pacific train line - which is great for access to the city, but you will hear the trains at night. If you are a very light sleeper, this may bother you. Of course we are totally used to it, but I want guests to know there are train sounds. The basement bedroom is very quiet, though. There are stairs - a few to get in, and a full flight going down to the finished basement. Feel free to use the whole house - there is a large washer/dryer downstairs, all appliances in kitchen, desktop iMac computer, collection of DVDs, HDTV, speakers, toys, board games, cards, books - you name it. I love to cook so you'll find the kitchen especially well equipped. Nice cookware, knives, spices, toaster, coffee grinder, coffee maker, blender, food processor, stand mixer - most are Kitchen Aid brand. The stove/oven is a Viking. We won't be there to welcome you, but we're glad to help by phone, text, or email - anytime. We have a local cleaning person and handyman who can be contacted if there's a problem we can't handle from a distance. Lombard is called the "Lilac Village" and offers many parks, shops, and bike/walking trails to enjoy. We like to walk to The Corner House in downtown Lombard or eat at Babcock's Grove House. One of the wonderful things about our location is access to miles and miles of lovely outdoor paths - we are 1 block from the Illinois Prairie Path and 1/2 mile from the Great Western Trail. If you are a walker or cyclist, you will love the access to towns from Elmhurst to Wheaton on our path. Tons of cool small suburban downtowns to explore. A short bike ride (2 mi.) to Glen Ellyn is a great way to find a fancier meal, Starbucks, or just to explore. For groceries and getting around, having a car is best. However, getting to Chicago by train is a great way to spend the day (or night) without having to deal with traffic and parking. We LOVE going to the city on the train (Metra). Museums, the Lake, all kinds of events, concerts, you name it!
