Our "Retro Modern Bungalow" was designed with a ton of love and personal touches. We chose eclectic furnishings, art, decor, and tile in vintage styles. We stay here when we’re in town visiting family a few times a year, and we’re excited to share it with you! Centrally located just 15 mins from Midway airport, 10 mins from Oak Park (where Frank Lloyd Wrights home and studio are found) and 20 mins from downtown Chicago. The designer-clad living room is a throwback to the sixties, with its mid-century velvet sofa and low slung leather chairs. It’s outfitted with a record player + vinyl selection, and a vintage Playboy collection from the 1950s. The original brick fireplace has a remote controlled electric log for ambience while you kick back and spin some records, have a drink or play a game of cards. For the more modern folks don’t worry - we have a smart TV in the living room and the record player doubles as a bluetooth speaker! The retro-styled kitchen is equipped with modern appliances - including a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker and french press - along with dishes, flatware, pots and pans. Our vintage bar cart is stocked with a cocktail shaker and glassware, and the dining table comfortably seats six. The original pink tiled bathroom is in pristine condition. There are plenty of large waffle towels on hand for our guests and we stock toiletries from Public Goods along with make-up wipes, a hair dryer, and a clothing steamer. Each of the two bedrooms has a king-sized bed with luxurious linens, and the primary bedroom has an additional smart TV along with a large desk and office chair - the perfect spot to check emails or hop on a Zoom if you need to get a little work done - and our central HVAC and speedy wifi let you stay comfortable and connected throughout your stay. If you're traveling with an infant you'll find a pack-n-play crib with a mattress and sheets on site, as well as a pop-up highchair and tray that can be placed on a chair for your little one. These are complimentary amenities for our guests that need them. (Please note that we may not be the most family-friendly choice for children other than infants or teens, due to breakable decor items, a glass top coffee table, etc. and use your discretion when booking.) Head out back to the fully-fenced backyard and you'll be greeted by a bistro table for sipping your morning coffee and a propane fire pit to gather around when weather permits. *We are pet friendly and welcome up to two pups for an additional fee. The surrounding neighborhood is quiet and safe. There are great restaurants and coffee shops close by. We offer free parking for one car in our garage and additional overnight street parking is available by permit. We provide permits to our guests at no cost. The train station is just a few blocks away (at 54th and Cermak) for catching public transit, and Uber or Lyft are also easy options for getting around town. So, what are you waiting for?

Guests are also responsible for cleaning up after their pets and crating if necessary. Our backyard is fully fenced but dogs should not be left un-accompanied outside for long periods of time. CHILDREN We provide a pack-n-play and pop up high chair for those traveling with infants.
