Enjoy our 1865 farmhouse in the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District of lovely Oak Park. This is the perfect location to visit Chicago and surrounding areas.
We are only 4 blocks from the L train that can whisk you to the heart of downtown Chicago in 20 minutes. Chicago is a city of great ethnic diversity. We have the world's best museums, nightlife, architecture, shopping, restaurants, live music, dance, theater, sports, and a beautiful lakefront with fabulous beaches. Our home is very comfortable and welcoming, in a very safe, quiet and historic neighborhood. Within a walking distance of a half mile are two lovely parks, a great library, multiple restaurants, cafes, a shopping district, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Home/Studio and the Unity Temple. Relax on the porch swing and take in the beautiful garden. We have a queen size bed in our master bedroom, full size beds in the other two bedrooms, and a queen size pull out sofa in the family room.
We can also offer our 11 room farmhouse on 10 rolling, private acres in rural Indiana, only 2.5 hours away by car. The farm has five bedrooms. Sit in the shade of the giant old maple tree and listen to the songbirds. During dusk and late into the night in early summer, witness the amazing sight of more twinkling fireflies than you can imagine. Have the best of city and country life all in one exchange! We welcome travelers of all colors, creeds and sexual orientation.

Oak Park is a great village that takes pride in embracing it's rich history and diversity. It offers all of the amenities that you would expect to find a larger city, with quieter, slower pace of a small town. Just 9 miles from the Chicago Loop, there are two L trains that can take you downtown in about 20 minutes.. Oak Park is a great tourist destination in it's own right. It has the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture, the Ernest Hemingway birthplace home and museum; the Festival Theater which features outdoor theater throughout the summer; Saturday Farmer's Market from May - Oct. where you can buy organic, locally grown produce, munch a fresh hot donut and listen to bluegrass music; attend a free Sunday evening concert in Scoville Park, and visit scores of local eateries, brew pubs, and lovely shops. Our house is on a quiet street of charming, older homes. Neighbors enjoy sitting on their porches, walking dogs and pushing strollers down the street. People here are friendly and always willing to chat or provide a helping hand when needed. It's a great place to visit for young and old!

Onze tips voor leuke activiteiten en uitjes bij ons in de buurt
Chicago is an amazing and friendly city, with some of the world's finest museums, architecture, night life, music venues, cultural and sporting events, fine dining, clean lakefront beaches and great ethnic diversity. Trip Advisor just named Chicago as the #2 travelers choice for top destinations in the USA and the Art Institute as the best museum in the USA. Oak Park and Chicago are wonderful places for all the family. Our rural farm is near some small towns for antiquing, a nearby vinyard, and an awesome state park with huge caverns, hiking trails and rental canoes and kayaks to take out on the river. Or just sit on the porch and relax!
