About the host
Hosted by Kerry Corcoran
Hi, I’m Kerry! I love welcoming guests and making sure their stay feels easy, comfortable, and memorable. As a mom and frequent traveler myself, I know how important it is to have a place that feels like home while you’re away.
Our property is designed with families in mind—plenty of space, a safe neighborhood, and thoughtful touches to make your trip stress-free. I pride myself on being responsive, flexible, and attentive, whether you’re here for a quick getaway, a long work trip, or an extended family stay.
Hospitality is personal to me, and I’m always happy to share local recommendations, tips, or help with special requests. My goal is for every guest to feel cared for and to leave with great memories.

Why they chose this property
I chose to host here because this neighborhood and home are truly special to me. I lived in this very unit for 8 years while raising my family, so I know firsthand how comfortable, safe, and welcoming it is. The area has a wonderful family-friendly vibe, with quiet tree-lined streets, great parks, and local coffee shops and restaurants just a short walk away.
Evanston offers the perfect balance—close enough to enjoy all the excitement of Chicago, yet peaceful enough to relax and feel at home. Having called this place my own for nearly a decade, I’m excited to share it with other families and travelers looking for that same mix of comfort, convenience, and community.

What makes this property unique
This home isn’t just a rental — it’s a space designed for families to truly feel at home. With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a fenced yard, and garage parking, it’s perfect for families, groups, and even pets. The layout offers both space to gather and plenty of room to spread out, making it comfortable for longer stays.
What really sets it apart is the personal touch. I lived in this unit for 8 years, so I know exactly what makes it comfortable and functional for everyday living. From the cozy family-friendly design to the safe, walkable neighborhood, everything is set up with ease and convenience in mind.
Guests also love the location: a quiet, welcoming community that’s just minutes from downtown Chicago by public transit, while still surrounded by local shops, restaurants, and parks. It’s the best of both worlds — city access with a true neighborhood feel.
