This bright, cozy coach house is your ideal base in Oak Park. It was originally the coachman's quarters behind a 1909 Prairie-style house, now converted into modern guest lodging.
The coach house is above the garage at the end of a long driveway (free parking included!) on a quiet street, in the heart of the Frank Lloyd Wright district. It's a short walk from the FLW home and studio, Ernest Hemingway's birthplace, vibrant downtown Oak Park, and trains to downtown Chicago.

Beautiful property in lovely part of town. It’s comfortable and just enough space for two. However it needs a good deep cleaning including rugs and baseboards because there is a build-up of dirt, dust and grime. Could also use a fresh coat of paint.
Very nice little place in a very nice neighborhood! Intimidatingly nice houses around, lots to look at. ONLY issue is the place is above the owner’s garage, so the garage door opening and closing is a little loud. Not a major issue though! Very nice, would stay again.

Beautiful studio in the heart of the historic district with a very homey feel. I work in Chicago and this gave me an ability to cook meals and feel more “normal” than in a hotel. Beautiful street, nice neighborhood, comfy bed, great hosts. I would stay there again.
I was in Oak Park to help with my niece's new baby and this place was absolutely perfect. Off street parking, and quiet after long days of baby wrangling. Thanks so much!
Great location that is only a few minutes walking to multiple Frank Lloyd Wright houses and his studio. The area is extremely beautiful and quiet, multiple great food choices and the green line elevated train are only a few minutes away walking. Great location, great stay.
We wanted a central location to visit several local universities. This was the perfect home base for us in a beautiful neighborhood. Bed was comfy. My son slept on the futon and had no complaints. Only issue was he is 6 foot and kept hitting his head at top of stairs for entry into living space, but we got a lot of chuckles out of that. They did provide directions to use mass transit, as well. We just weren't ready to take that leap. I would highly recommend.
I was in the area for a professional conference and greatly appreciated everything about this rental.
It’s increasingly rare for everything to work as intended these days, but this stay was perfect: communication was clear and accurate, the lock set to my phone number functioned properly, the QR code in the room promptly got me on the net, and the climate control worked perfectly.

Lovely apartment above the coach house in the best possible location for exploring Frank Lloyd Wright historical homes and structures. Highly recommend.
The coach house was absolutely perfect for visiting family in the area. The location is quiet and restful and the owner was very responsive. The entire stay was perfect.
The place was really nice and accessible. Also offered parking on site which was very convenient. It has everything you need for a quick stay and I’d book again.
A great property. Great location. A bit difficult to find at night. The bathroom mirror, is the best feature at this location. When you look in it, you look at least 10 lbs lighter Only two improvements I would suggest is a way to find it at night and a little more pressure coming out of the showerhead.
