About the host
Hosted by Preston Phillips
We have been together for 8 years and married since September 2024. We have lived in the Chicago area for the past 3 years. We love spending time with our cats, going to local cafes, and exploring new neighborhoods. We are excited to embark on the new adventure of being short term rental hosts!
Why they chose this property
We love Oak Park for its unique, historic architecture, walkability, and quick access to downtown.
What makes this property unique
Our coach house is in the heart of the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic district and provides guests with the privacy and convenience of a detached house at a price point suitable for smaller groups. We love to go above and beyond for our guests with our unique amenities and thoughtful touches. We provide year-round entertainment for all ages - in the summer you can relax in the private back yard and in the winter enjoy the theater room with surround sound.
