The space
You’ll find this clean, sunny and welcoming home comfortable and spacious. Spread out in the two very large bedrooms (one with a king, one with a full-size bunk bed set), a private office space with a futon and a convertible sleeper couch in the living room (with a sliding barndoor to offer privacy).

The family room contains a 65” TV, adaptable to your online subscriptions. We have voice-activated speakers for music in various rooms.

A sunny bath with huge soak tub, large waterfall shower and double sinks is upstairs, a half bath downstairs. The house also has an upstairs washer and dryer. You’ll find some travel-sized products underneath the sink should you forget something.

A lovely white & granite kitchen equipped with everything you need to cook and most importantly (to us) - coffee (Keurig, french press and drip pot). Be sure to enjoy the morning in the sunroom with a warm cup.

We have two office stations and a sunroom for those who like to work from “home”. The upstairs desk is equipped with Ethernet and wifi throughout the home.

Please make use of our private backyard - on the brick patio we have outdoor couches, poofs, chairs, a dining table and twinkle lights to accompany your happy hour(s). Out front by the lavender bushes, you may see ducks walking by on their way back to the Schiller Park pond.

We started a digital guestbook on Instagam and welcome guests to send us photos (either messaged or tagged) from their experience: @germanvillagehouse

Guest access
You’ll have the entire house to yourself - including the closets, cabinets, dressers, backyard, etc. The basement and garage are not accessible.

Other things to note
We strived to make this home family-friendly so we have kids’ toys in storage on-site as well as numerous children’s books. We’ve put outlet covers in most rooms to help curb curious toddlers. If you need anything else to make your stay more comfortable while traveling with littles, don’t hesitate to reach out - we get it and are happy to help!

If you are interested in the history of my ancestors settling in German Village or the history of the family who owned this home for 100+ years, just let us know. Otherwise, I’ll include it in the welcome binder. As avid travelers and lovers of new experiences, you’ll see our nod to traveling throughout the house. We are excited to host you and share our beautiful neighborhood and German culture!
