The Train Conductor’s Cottage was the perfect place to stay. Plenty of room to spread out, comfortable beds, quaint kitchen, and an incredible air conditioner. You will not be hot during your summer stay. The location is walking distance to the train station that takes you right into Chicago so you can bypass parking in the city. It is very close to stores and restaurants too. Would love to stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The place was very clean and comfortable. We traveled with our baby and really appreciated how peaceful and well-kept everything was, which made our trip so much easier. The space felt welcoming and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Communication was smooth, and check-in was easy. The host was very polite and responsive. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other travelers!!
