I work during the day, and keep a busy schedule in general with my 11 year old son's sports, and our love of nature, hiking, biking / exploring. I enjoy meeting new people, and have managed guest houses for 20+ years all over the US + Caribbean. I am always a text, phone call, or AirBnb message away to ensure that all of my guests have an amazing, 5-Star experience! If you need suggestions on local hot spots, events, etc I am happy to help, or if you prefer to have seclusion and privacy, that will be respected. I ask that you and your guest(s) are courteous and respectful as this is my home that I have warmly opened up to share with others. We do live in our home while we host our guests. We are early to bed (usually around 9pm) and early to rise (around 5am). We are respectful of our guests that may not be on the same schedule. We do make a morning smoothie every morning and ask our guests to let us know if this is an issue, so we can make accommodations. La Grange Park/ La Grange is a family friendly, safe, neighborly area. There's a famous arcade within walking distance (Galloping Ghost), there's a lovely variety of cafes, shops, groceries, farmers markets, yoga studio, libraries, bike path, Brookfield Zoo, and so much more. There is a Metra stop less than 5 minutes away that goes into downtown Chicago, great bike/walking paths, and a bike shop that offers bike rentals. There is NO PARKING for recreational vehicles such as boats, RV's, ATV's, Trailers, etc. I do offer parking for one guest car only. If you have more than one car, I am unable to provide parking on or off street.
