About this property

Pet/Family Friendly Farmhouse: Sleeps 10, Firepit, 1 Hour from Chicago

Welcome to the Carriage House, a peaceful getaway on our quiet farmstead. If you’re looking for a relaxing quiet spot surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place to unwind.

Outside, you’ll find a large covered porch with an outdoor dining table—great for meals or just sitting back and enjoying the fresh air. In season, the property is filled with wildflowers and plenty of wildlife to spot. There’s a firepit with plenty of seating for evening gatherings, where you can roast marshmallows and enjoy the night sky. In the winter, the flowers and hammocks may not be available, but the snowy views and wildlife sightings make it just as peaceful.

Inside, there’s a roomy upstairs living area, perfect for relaxing together. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need to cook meals, and there’s a coffee bar for your morning cup. Bedrooms are spacious, and we also have a laundry room to make longer stays easy. Families will find everything they need here—crib, pack-n-play, high chair, toys, books, and puzzles for kids of all ages.

Pets are welcome, too! We provide crates, beds, towels, and dishes for them. Just please keep them leashed outside and away from the fenced areas and farm dogs on the other side of the acreage.

While it feels quiet and tucked away, we’re conveniently located—about an hour from Chicago (depending on traffic) and 30 minutes from O’Hare Airport, right off I-90 and very close (5 minutes) to the NOW Arena. We are 25 minutes away from the Allstate Arena, 15 minutes away from Schaumburg and 15 minutes away from the Elgin Sports Complex.

Please note: This property is next to state land preserves, so you may see wildlife such as deer, coyotes, and insects during your stay. The home is regularly serviced by a pest control company, but wildlife is part of the natural setting here. If anything comes up during your stay, just let us know—we’re happy to help. We do ask that you keep doors closed and screens secured to keep the inside comfortable.

We look forward to hosting you!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are a small farming family driven by a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability, permaculture, and organic practices. My journey began with a desire to connect with the land, grow our own food, and embrace a more self-reliant lifestyle. Today, we proudly cultivate a thriving and diverse farmstead where harmony with nature and organic practices is at the core of everything we do.

At the heart of my farmstead, you'll find a passion for animals, organic practices and the land. I believe in creating an atmosphere where children can truly be kids, simultaneously learning the invaluable lessons of responsibility, compassion, and empathy through caring for animals and participating in farm life in which they develop problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically about the interconnectedness of all life forms.

Preserving and nurturing the health of my land is of utmost importance. Every day, we work to ensure the soil is enriched, the trees are flourishing, and the orchards are abundant. I take great pride in employing regenerative and organic practices. My vision for the future extends beyond the boundaries of the farmstead, I aspire to cultivate an entire food forest.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to our beloved Carriage House, your tranquil retreat just a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Chicago. This cozy space is close enough to easily pop into town yet feels like a world away, nestled among beautiful trees and open fields.

We’ve designed it with love to accommodate up to 10 guests comfortably. You'll find spacious rooms and two inviting living areas, perfect for gathering with friends and family. Whether you’re relaxing with a cup of coffee or sharing stories in the evening, we hope you'll feel right at home.

If you enjoy cooking, you’ll appreciate our fully equipped kitchen. And if you have kids or pets, they’re welcome here! We want everyone to feel included in our little slice of paradise. One of my favorite things is the peacefulness that surrounds us.

Even though we’re tucked away in a quiet spot, you’ll find stores and restaurants just minutes away, with easy access to the freeway for your convenience.

This isn’t just a rental—it’s a home, and we’re excited to share the simple joys of this quiet farm life with you. From the moment you arrive, we hope you’ll feel the warmth and love that has filled this space.
