Perfect VRBO - We wanted to move it!

This is truly a gem of a property. The old home is fantastic and well-equipped. The kitchen is one of my dreams. There are many spaces so no one is tripping over each other. Beds are very comfortable and the master bath is something of my dreams. Home has lovely outdoor space and we enjoyed watching the birds bathe in the birdbath. Home is surrounded by bushes so is quite secluded while still being in a bustling suburb of Chicago. Already planning another visit with some friends!

A Tribute to the Victorian Era

We were attending a graduation in Chicago and decided that while not in town, this big, beautiful place would be a welcomed escape. Boy, were we right. The level of detail and warmth of the home surpassed our expectations. The gardens were enchanting and the location, although separated from the City, provided a converse to our city time that was great.

Great House!

The Davis House is wonderful—large, spacious—and just as described in the listing. It really is fully equipped with just about anything one would need. Beds are comfortable, water pressure is great and the laundry room on the second floor is terrific. William is a gracious owner and answered all our questions promptly. He was a pleasure to work with and it was a pleasure to stay here. We will definitely be back.
