About the host

Hosted by Jeff Beaird

Host profile image
After raising our family in this house, we renovated it for a vacation rental and with family help bought a bigger house for our family. We named this house after the train conductor we used to talk with as he walked back and forth to and from work every day at the local Metra train. We love this house and neighborhood and know you will too! Embedded in historic and friendly West Chicago with its easy access to favorite Mexican restaurants and the train to Chicago, this house is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your stay in Illinois.

Why they chose this property

Comfortable and inviting, with character and charm.

The Train Conductor’s Cottage—named in honor of our beloved neighbor, a retired train conductor—features a spacious layout, warm hardwood floors, and a blend of classic charm and modern comfort. The kitchen includes a dedicated coffee bar, and the patio and garden are especially lovely in spring and summer.

Please note: the stairs to the basement are a bit steeper than typical. Over four years of hosting, only two guests have found them difficult, but we recommend extra care for children and older adults. Please message us if you have any concerns about the stairs! The basement includes the twin beds, a second full bathroom, and the TV area.

We hope your stay is peaceful and refreshing!

What makes this property unique

Easy access to the Metra train, area Mexican restaurants, Ball Seed Company gardens and four seasons Illinois weather. Beautiful garden in the yard and peaceful neighborhood on a quiet street.
