About this property

Kildahl House - Boutique Farmhouse Suite #1

Summary:

Kildahl House is a thoughtfully restored historic farmhouse set on a hill overlooking downtown West Dundee, offering a light-filled, comfortable retreat just steps from restaurants, shops, and the Fox River.



Each reservation is for one private one-bedroom suite within the home, not the entire house. Every suite features a king bed, full kitchen, and a spacious bathroom, with soft, layered interiors designed for comfort and ease.



The Space:

Kildahl House is a fully restored historic farmhouse originally built in the early 1900s, offering a stay that blends character, comfort, and a strong sense of place. Set on a hill above downtown West Dundee, the home provides a light-filled setting with easy access to everything the area has to offer.



The property includes four private one-bedroom suites, each fully self-contained with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living space, creating a fully private apartment within the home. This allows guests to enjoy a comfortable and independent stay while still sharing the experience of the home.



Each suite is thoughtfully designed with a king bed, full kitchen with modern appliances, a spacious bathroom with elevated finishes, and a comfortable living area. Soft tones, natural light, and simple farmhouse details create a space that feels warm, relaxed, and easy to settle into.



Guests also have access to outdoor spaces, including a wraparound porch and backyard seating area, offering a place to unwind and take in the charm of the surrounding neighborhood.



Kildahl House is well suited for couples, extended stays, and guests traveling together. Guests attending events at nearby venues like The BRIX on the Fox often reserve multiple suites for a shared experience while still enjoying private accommodations.



Guest Access:

Guests have full private access to their individual suite, with secure, contactless entry for a smooth and seamless arrival. The main entrance to Kildahl House is located on Second Street, and detailed check-in instructions will be provided prior to your stay.



Free parking is available across the street in nearby municipal lots. From April through October, additional parking is available directly in front of Kildahl House.



Please note that Suites 1 and 2 are located on the first floor, while Suites 3 and 4 are located on the second floor.



The Neighborhood:

Kildahl House is located in historic downtown West Dundee, a walkable district along the Fox River that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.



You’re just steps from local restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites, including Emmett’s Brewing Co. and live music at RocHaus, as well as the scenic riverwalk and bike trails that wind through the Fox River Valley. Guests can also rent bikes nearby or bring kayaks and canoes to enjoy the river.



Set slightly above the downtown, the home offers a more residential feel while still being close to everything. It’s an easy place to settle in, with a relaxed rhythm and a strong sense of local character.



We’re also just a short drive from The BRIX on the Fox, making Kildahl House a convenient option for wedding guests. Traveling with a group? Our nearby properties, including 124 Lofts and Sinclair Suites, are all within walking distance, allowing guests to stay close while enjoying their own private spaces.



Getting Around:

Downtown Dundee is easy to explore on foot, with restaurants, coffee shops, and riverfront access just steps from the home.



For trips beyond downtown, Kildahl House offers convenient access to the surrounding area. Interstate 90 is just 3 miles away, and the nearest Metra station is within a short drive, providing easy access to Chicago. Rideshare services are readily available, along with PACE public transportation.



Chicago O’Hare International Airport is approximately 30 minutes away.

Wonderful, clean space in an adorable town. We were very happy with our stay. The host was extremely responsive and helpful, and the location was perfect walking distance to nearby coffee shops and restaurants. The space itself was incredibly clean and comfortable. Only note is that you can hear quite a bit of movement if someone is staying in the unit above you, but that feels minuscule in comparison to all the other amenities.

Great spot, great property, great hosts.

I booked this place as a way to explore the mountain bike trails in Carpentersville, and if you are doing the same I really don't think you could find a better rental. Downtown Dundee is right there too with so many places to eat and drink. The property is super-well maintained and the hosts are very responsive if needed.

West Dundee trip.

Great room in a great area. We've stayed in the building before and hope to again when in town visiting family and friends. There are so many fun good restaurants/bars, some with a band playing. Highly recommend one of the unis there.

Exceeded expectations!!

We stayed here to break up a long, cross country drive. When we got here, we wished we were staying longer to continue to enjoy the place! The place was decorated with high end furnishings and was very clean. There was a swing on the front porch and a nice seating area in the backyard. The location is within walking distance to numerous bars/restaurants. Hosts had great communication and responded promptly when we had a question. The property was meticulously maintained and we would absolutely stay here again!

Specific tenants were given access to security features of the building and electronics to control and harass other tenants. Did not checked tenants for bringing their own surveillance equipment. Limitations on certain electronic instruments/equipment that can be brought inside the property limits.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Burns

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Suzanne & Andy -- best friends, parents and small business owners. We have a keen appreciation for the importance of small downtowns and the role they play in defining a sense of place. That’s why we located our business, Emmett’s Brewing Co., in downtown West Dundee and it’s also why we’ve branched out over the years and opened additional locations in other small historic downtowns nearby. We view hosting as a logical extension of our creativity and passion for hospitality. We live nearby and enjoy small town living. When we’re not busy running our businesses we enjoy working on our historic home, traveling, great food, drink and companionship.

Why they chose this property

Kildahl House is centrally located in historic downtown Dundee. The entire downtown district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You’re just steps away from numerous dining and nightlife options. Downtown Dundee also offers a pleasant river walk and the Fox River bike trail which both wind their way along the Fox River. Kildahl House is a perfect home base for exploring all that the Fox River Valley has to offer.
