If you are looking for a place to stay for bootcamp graduation this is a great place. It’s minutes from the base. The pictures are accurate and the house had plenty of space for five people. Close to shopping, fast food, and casino.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay for our son's graduation for boot camp. The house was located 5 minutes from Great Lakes, and our host was very responsive and accommodating whenever we needed anything.

There is a reason this property is so highly rated. First of all, from the time I reserved it, the owner was constantly in communication with me. Her directions were clear and she made herself available.
When I arrived she was there making sure everything was in order. Her demeaner was kind and professional.
The house is spacious and yes it is an older house, but the owner has done so many things to update it, we were very pleased.
Finally, the cost was entirely reasonable. This was an all around wonderful experience and I wholeheartedly endorse this rental! Thank you for making my trip even more memorable!

The home is exactly as described…VERY comfortable beds and living room. Bed linens and towels are a great quality. Clean all around. I can tell great effort has been made to make our stay comfortable.
Great location, as the home is just minutes away from the Great Lakes Navy Base where we attended Bootcamp Graduation for my daughter, as well as taking her back and forth from Base for her Liberty time. Close to shopping and dining.Only 35 minutes to O’Hare Airport, which was an easy commute. The owner, Nesha, was fantastic to work with!!!
Please note that this is an older home, so a few squeaky doors and floors, which is normal. Also, a steep staircase as you enter the home, which can be difficult for some people.
Overall, I highly recommend this home.
Check in instructions were easy. Nice neighborhood. Nice deck. Mostly fenced in back yard (fence has a few holes in it). House was very clean and spacious! The bathroom is kind of small so not much room for things in there. Only complaint were the beds. They were kinda hard. But we would stay again if we ever come back with the same amount of people!
Great space for me and my friends. Nice little porch as well.
The one bedroom without the window unit gets very hot.. even with all the fans going.
Other than that.. great place to stay!
I’ve stayed in 100-150 rentals over the past 15yrs this is in the top 3 worst. Walking up to house it’s clear that no one is maintaining the property weeds everywhere, dead plants, the screen door was falling apart and the locking device was a wire cord. Walking in there was a smell of mold and urine. There was burlap hanging off the stair fronts and on the light switches. I’m sure this was cute when it was first done, but now it’s literally falling apart/off and is something else to catch dirt. The whole unit was dingy and gave you the sense of it not being thoroughly cleaned in many years. It was nice to have multiple couch seating but again the couches were covered in a layer of grime. The kitchen drawers were mostly unfunctionable, they were broken on the bottom and were falling out. It advertised that there was AC, which was actually just 2 window units, one being in the smaller room and the other in the living room. The room with the queen bed was always 10° hotter than everywhere else. The back deck balcony was a scary site as well, and the grill was unusable and rusted all out. The bathroom floor looks as though someone pieced it together, along with the fact that there was no transition piece on the floor and that everyone kept stubbing their toe on. There was mold on the ceiling. The only positive was it was 8-10 minutes away from the Navy Boot Camp.

The place was clean and had everything as advertised. IT was real close to Navy Graduation which was our primary goal. The back porch was nice too.
We spent Wed-Sun for my son’s PIR, and the house truly felt like a home away from home. So many great memories of a lifetime made in the space! The best part was the hostess-Ms. Nesha, she worked with me on EVERYTHING, including giving me an extra 7 hours before we checkout due to our plans changing and not wanting to leave my son alone for his last afternoon of Liberty…which was SO meaningful and appreciated! The neighborhood is a *real* Chicago feel, and the neighbors are so polite and wave/speak when prompted-big deal for us southerners! I hope to be able to return to this house someday, I highly recommend it to anyone needing a memorable week/weekend with their future sailor!

We booked a 3 night stay at this wonderful property and couldn’t have been happier! It was located in the heart of everything we wanted and navigating our way around was easy. The house was very clean and well maintained, and had everything we needed for our stay. The property manager had excellent communication with us the entire stay. We were there to attend our son’s graduation ceremony from Navy boot camp and visit. We highly recommend this property for families looking for a safe, clean accommodation while there.
Our stay was wondering and the house is adorable. The location was convenient to the Naval base where our son is. We were there for his Navy bootcamp graduation. Nesha was absolutely wonderful and she made this trip to see our son that much better. If we come back, we hope her house is available!
Short Visit to see our Sons' graduate from Navy Bootcamp
It was a great home/stay for the price and space. Just wish the bathroom had hooks for towels or somewhere to put things on. Overall, the place was perfect for our stay! I would definitely recommend it!
The proximity to Great Lakes Recruitment Center, Sarge’s Meet & Greet, restaurants, etc. is perfect. We were in town for our son’s boot camp graduation and knew we wanted more room to hang out than a typical hotel room would offer. It was great to be able to relax, watch movies, just hang out with our sailor for the precious two days we had. This place has location, location, location if you’re coming in for boot camp graduation.

I booked this property because I and a few family members were in town for my son's Navy Boot Camp graduation. This spot was so conveniently close that we were pleasantly surprised. The spot was in a neighborhood that was also close to food if you didn't cook, as well a grocery store in case you did. The host was most cordial and immediately available if you had a need. I would greatly recommend this spot if you are visiting North Chicago. I can't voice my gratitude enough for this gem. Try it, I can assure, you won't be disappointed. Oh, by the way, the price is also right. I'm not over exaggerating, this rental was perfect for my trip. ST from NC 3/20 thru 3/24
This was a perfect place for us. The moment you open the door it was so welcoming. It smelled wonderful. It was very clean and had everything we needed! It was very close to the conveniences and also to the Naval Base

The home was good, but the listing said that there was a hot tub and there was not.
Needed kitchen trash bags need more than two rolls of toilet paper paper towels. Nice neighbor hood the house was fine close to the base , a big plus
