About this property

*The Belltower Haven*Large*Family Friendly*Wi-Fi

Inside, you will enjoy this newly remodeled Family & Business Friendly space nestled in the heart of Joliet's Historic District. Relax in all 1400 sq.ft. that looks out directly at the Cathedral Bell Tower. Inside you will find a large dining area with a beautiful, modern chandelier. To the right is an office desk with an LED desk lamp and extra outlets for your laptop and cell phone. Around the corner is a relaxing living area with a wall mounted 50" HDTV providing over 100+ channels, and many other popular networks while resting on a large comfy couch, lounge chair and coffee table.
Travel to the other end of the apartment, you will pass 2 bedrooms and a beautiful tiled and upgraded full bathroom. Further down the wide hallway opens up to a beautiful granite counter top kitchen. Here you will see an industrial sink and faucet, slow close drawers and lots of cabinet space. This kitchen is equipped to cover all the basics from a simple cup of coffee to everything you need to cook a full family meal. Lastly, the 3rd bedroom is across from the kitchen and has a Master bathroom.
We put in all the things we would like in a relaxing home away from home into this space. We truly hope you enjoy our "Belltower Haven" as much as we did creating it for you! :-)
Note:
- You must be 21 or older to book and provide a valid photo of your D.L. or State ID.
- In the summer we limit the AC to 72 because this home is older and not as well insulated as modern homes and it will damage the unit. To assist, we have either ceiling fans or floor fans in the bedrooms to help circulate the cool air.

The Bell Tower Haven was just as promised. We had 4 adults and 1 teen with loads of space. The location was great for us. We were a walk away from some places and brief car rides anywhere else we needed to go. Very quiet and restful stay for when we returned in the evening. James the Host was attentive and very helpful so there wasn’t anything unexpected. Perfect location if you are coming in for a graduation from Uni. of St. Francis or a wedding at St. Rays Cathedral - both are walking distance! Well done James.

Nice place, maybe not great for people with noisy kids

So our stay was good but we went on new years and our kids were a little excited about watching the ball drop. We got a complaint for being to noisy. I don't think we'd stay again for that reason alone. Having to make sure you're quiet for the people down stairs was kind of annoying to be honest.

Great Home Base for a Visit with Family!

The apartment is clean, just as shown in the listing photos, and very well appointed with all the things you might want or need during your stay! The check-in, parking, and check-out instructions were clear and communicated promptly. James was an attentive host who made sure all of our questions were answered and that we had everything we needed to make our stay pleasant. This was a perfect home base as we visited family in the area. Space enough for a family of five and the TVs in each room were a big hit! Would definitely stay here again on future visits to the area.

Perfect Location for Our Family Vacation

We booked our stay with James nearly a year out, James was accommodating and prompt with date changes as we finalized our trip. Communication was great and timely. When we asked about grocery stores and other retail stores nearby James provided us with several options. The location was perfect for our stay as we had a couple meetings in Joliet but wanted to spend several days in Chicago. The property was clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend staying with James if you are traveling to Joliet.
