We have been operating as a professionally managed vacation rental since 2009. Please check out our many great reviews. We have many reviews on the other major vacation rental website.

The Space

Open the door of this unassuming second floor walkup, and you’ll find a truly singular place to live while you explore the hip Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood. The custom furniture and décor were hand picked by interior designer Jean Alan, all with your comfort in mind. We’ll provide luxe amenities for your stay in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath stunner, a spacious haven for your family or friends.

If you love to entertain, you’ll be thrilled by the formal dining room and gourmet kitchen. If you need a relaxing respite from the city, you’ll adore the sun room off the kitchen. This unit is full of thoughtfully designed features:

Guest Access

The Neighborhood

Bucktown is not just a peaceful residential enclave, it’s also full of incredible arts, dining and activities. The Bucktown House is within walking distance of Holstein Park and The 606 Bloomingdale Trail, a walking/biking trail surrounded by installation art and creative urban landscaping.

Stroll down Damen Avenue for a shopping experience second only to Michigan Avenue, or for a diverse selection of international cuisine. In the evening you can take in a show at the Gallery Cabaret, the Trap Door Theater, or Gorilla Tango Theater - all within easy walking distance of home.

The surrounding neighborhood has no shortage of dining options, from single-barrel bourbon and pork belly tacos on the outside patio at Big Star to nine-course menus at Schwa, an upscale BYOB. Or if it's nightlife you're after, try Bangers & Lace for a hunting lodge vibe or work your way through the Chop Shop's cocktail program.

And if you tire of the local scene, just take the blue line and in 20 minutes you’ll be near Navy Pier. Bucktown is a locus of Chicago’s beauty, entertainment, and culture - book now to stay in the heart of it all.

**No pets are allowed, especially cats. This includes support cats, service cats and pet cats. The owner has a severe cat allergy and any cat dander in the apartment would cause a major health threat.

Great location and nice accommodations. I would recommend but one thing to be aware of are the wooden floors, which is charming, but are squeaky.

Beautiful rental property

I rented this property for a girls weekend to celebrate a milestone birthday and I cannot begin to express how happy we all were with the property. We loved the historical charm mixed with current amenities. The location is in a beautiful neighborhood and the surrounding homes were gorgeous. I was initially concerned about the street parking but we were always able to find a spot close to the rental. The owner provided all of the items you need in a rental (towels, paper towels, tissues, even coffee). I would definitely rent this property again when in Chicago.

Charming Spot in Great Neighborhood

Bucktown House was a lovely spot to spend NYE with a few couple friends. The house was super clean and had gorgeous bathrooms. The bedrooms are small, but the beds were very comfy. Nice kitchen, super cute little sunroom in the back. Safe neighborhood with tons of nice shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Amazing Place

Yes, the floor squeaks. It was built in the 1890’s. The location is awesome. The owner is amazing. We arrived on a Monday and we’re heading to a Cubs game when the tornado sirens started going off. The owner and I were on the phone and she was telling me where to go. The space is absolutely perfect. Such a great building for the 5 of us. We truly loved it. Pizza down the street is off the charts. So much food! Wow. You’re a quick Uber or Cab to the museums, aquarium, Wrigley, or just about anywhere you want.

Lovely home away from home

Clean, inviting, and functional space that worked well for our group of 4 who were visiting Chicago for a vacation together. Good communication with owner who allowed us to drop off some stuff early so there was room in my friend’s small car when she picked us up from the airport. Some problems with the tv they tried to fix but couldn’t resolve during our visit but we didn’t spend much time watching tv so didn’t matter much to us. Restocked our coffee right away when we asked. (We are big coffee drinkers!!) Great little kitchen. We enjoyed making some meals together and some quiet time on the sun porch. Extremely comfortable beds and great water pressure in bathrooms. Nice, safe neighborhood with easy parking. Highly recommend!

Reunion improved by great space.

The property was gorgeous. I was in Chicago for a reunion with two dear friends, and this space allowed us to spend time in comfort, talking and reconnecting. The beds were comfortable, with high-quality linens. The art & decor were impeccable. The building has a fun history, and that history has been honored in the rental. The neighborhood was fantastic, parking was easy. Matt, the property manager, had great communication with us before and during our stay. All in all, we were so pleased with our temporary home. I'd return to this rental and live out my "Chicago resident" fantasy any time!
