About this property

Quintessential and Idyllic home perfectly situated near downtown Wheaton.

This charming Chicago brick home will bring a delight to any traveler exploring Wheaton and the surrounding Chicago area. Styled and decorated for your families comfort, providing you with everything you need for your stay.
This home is our special place to gather our family and friends from all over for respite and experience Midwest hospitality. Our daughter and her husband met at Wheaton College and through our visits we knew this area was very special. It is our wish for those wanting to celebrate a special occasion, the holidays, escape the city life, explore the nearby historical towns, provide time for sabbatical, or engaging in an academic pursuit, to consider this home for their stay. Our home is also a perfect stay for those who are renovating their home and need a month or two for construction.

What I love most about this home is it's exceptional charm. It exhibits a cozy and intimate atmosphere designed with treasures I found in the quaint shops from Glen Ellyn, Naperville, Wheaton, and St. Charles.

With each stay, my family enjoys the events offered in the City of Wheaton and the neighboring towns. The local towns feature curated cultural events, fabulous locally owned restaurants, cozy cocktail lounges, vintage stores and boutiques. With our home located just a few blocks from Downtown Wheaton, makes for a nice walk to get ice cream or a coffee at one of the cafes.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This charming cape cod is darling and was our home away from home for 2 1/2 months! The house was cozy, very well stocked and provided a beautiful outdoor deck and large backyard. When you stay somewhere for an extended amount of time there are always a few small glitches but Michele was accessible and prompt in remediating the problems. I would highly recommend this property! I was sad to leave!

Great Home in Wheaton

While we had to move out of our house for insurance repairs, it was so nice to have a Home to "move" into for five weeks. This is an adorable house just north of downtown Wheaton that made everyday walks with our dog very enjoyable and close to the Wheaton College Campus. Very well kept and maintained home and would recommend to any other's seeing a house like our situation. Michelle was crazy quick to respond and help with any questions. Great stay and thanks! -Chris
