Family-friendly vacation rentals in Elgin

Christine’s place was the perfect get-away for a family vacation close to home. The lake was beautiful and the place was spotless and inviting. It felt like you walked in to your own home. It’s close to places to eat and there is even a community space just a few houses down that is lively if the weather is nice. I’m hoping to come back again!

Our host was extremely tentative and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at the home. It was big enough to accommodate our family plus a few other visitors, plenty of beds, plenty of living space so people didn’t have to be on top of each other. Very close to downtown and the blue line which made going to the airport and downtown much more accessible. we didn’t even have to rent a car.

Clean, roomy place. Short drive to stores or walk/shuttle to resort pool/restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. The only disappointment was the golf course was closed.

The house was very centrally located and convenient to everything in Lake Geneva. It was a good size for my adult family to stay and we enjoyed the common areas for gathering. The house is old but in a way that we found quirky and charming, and overall clean and functional. There is only one shower but we didn't run out of hot water so it worked out. Parking and entry were very easy. Overall a great find and value if you are okay with an older place and want to prioritize a central location with several private bedrooms.

Debbie’s place is perfect for a relaxing getaway with friends or family. We came to Lake Geneva to bring in the New Year with two other couples and it was a Perfect getaway! We cooked a feast on Jan. 1 and were pleasantly surprised to find a fully stocked kitchen. This place is great, highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay! My family came in from New Mexico for my daughter's wedding, and we drove in from Illinois. Unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy the outdoor spaces, but the home was very comfortable. The garage provided a great "hang out" space. We set up bag boards and had a great time! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend! This was my first experience staying at an Airbnb. Thankfully Will was very easy to work with and made it a positive experience.

Very nice place to host our large family Christmas gathering. Plenty of room for everybody. The game room was very much appreciated and well used.

10/10 recommend staying here if you’re looking for a place 45 minute drive into Chicago. Hot tub was the perfect addition. Would definitely stay here again

Loved our stay. Cool neighborhood with lots to do in the direct area. Great advice from Kyle about where to go. Would definitely stay again!

Jamie’s place was a perfect spot to stay in Chicago. There is access to the L within a few miles (with parking structure), and there are many walkable places locally. We highly recommend Caesar Pierogis on West Irving (offers gluten free pierogis). The neighborhood is charming and safe for walking. After long days of exploring, we came back to Jamie’s place and enjoyed watching Netflix and relaxing in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with utensils, and there is a grocery store within walking distance. Jamie is a very thoughtful host, and her home is quite accommodating. We had a lovely get away. Thank you, Jamie!

Alex was great at communicating and following up. We had some questions and she was responsive. Also goes beyond expectations on things like forgetting coats :0) - thank you! The location is great. Short walk to a Main Street of bars and restaurants, kid friendly too - happy campers pizza joint was a great reco! Also close to the brown line train station and not too far into town - we walked it with children and it was fine. House is really large, spacious. I know some have mentioned about hearing the train, but that is part of city living, it was more than fine. Enjoyed the stay, would recommend it and would go back again if visiting Chicago. Thanks Alex!

These hosts are lovely as is this space. The amenities are wonderful and go beyond what they would need to provide - making travel easier! The apartment is spacious, comfy and clean. The area is full of places to go and also right on the Clark bus line, making access to the rest of the city easy peasy. Highly recommend.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here, and it is always exactly what I need. The space is great, the neighborhood is safe, and there's a Lou Malnatis and Portillos within a 15 min drive. Will definitely stay again!

Definitely a great weekend! The look, and feel of the place was very comforting, and had a great flow. Design was tasteful, and anything that was needed was right where you’d expect it to be! A definite recommend!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful space. It was perfect to spend time as a family while moving our daughter in Logan Square. The park nearby was so easy to manage for our dog who joined us. Paul was responsive and helpful. Got to meet his pup who was adorable. Will definitely stay here again

Tracy's home is clean, comfortable, and feels like a great home to return to when you are visiting Evanston. we didn't get a chance to cook in their fabulous kitchen, but I plan to next time!!

Fantastic location, felt incredibly safe, and was exactly as described. Great space and made for the perfect spot for our family during our stay in Chicago. Would absolutely return.

Great spot! The condo was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Mandy’s detailed directions and instructions made checking in a breeze. Our group of four had a fantastic time.

This is a great space. The owner is very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to staying there again.

Absolutely loved staying at Sylvia's! The camper is very conveniently located within the park - close to all the amenities and activities! Easy to access, beautiful grounds and a very peaceful stay for my family and I.

Absolutely loved our visit! House was perfect for our family of 5. Kids loved the lofts. We loved the cozy home, view, and proximity to Starved Rock & Matthiessen State Parks. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had a fantastic time here! The property has an incredible deck that extends into the surrounding forest. We had breakfast outside every morning! If you love wildlife, you'll love this place.

Charming and comfortable - In the heart of Geneva close to cute shops and many restaurants! Very clean with convenient parking. Wonderful stay!

Beautiful and eclectic home. It was perfect for our group of girls visiting from all over the U.S to attend our HS Reunion. Plenty of lovely spaces to gather or a private, quiet nook to read or rest. The pool was wonderful. Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen was large enough and well stocked to prepare meals. Andy was very responsive with any issues or questions. Highly recommend!
