Pros- Well maintained older home with very comfortable beds. Host was responsive and the home is spacious and very close to all your needs for a Navy Bootcamp graduation. Less than 2 miles from the graduation site.Cons- we stayed here during a very cold winter week in Chicago. Heating system could not warm the home adequately. We wore our coats inside to stay warm.The electricity in the front room (with the fooseball table) did not work.The front door to the home remains locked, so if you have food delivered you have to go out the back door and walk around the home to the front to retrieve it. During a very cold Chicago week (-17) this was inconvenient.Overall we did enjoy our stay, my recommendation would be to upgrade the heating system to the home. Thank you.

We traveled from California for our son’s RTC bootcamp graduation. It was 3 degrees outside and the home was cozy and warm when we arrived. The home is nice and close to base which made it fantastic for picking up tickets, and our Sailor. The host was very kind and quick to respond if we had a question about anything. Great fenced in parking for our rental car in the alley. Would highly recommend.

Five stars goes to the host, Ellie! The location was good since we were there for our sons bootcamp graduation. We were literally 5min from base. Made it great the morning of graduation and picking him up during his liberty call. The house was old and it showed. The beds were all different so some people may have a better sleep than others. But all are good enough for a temporary stay. PLENTY of space in the living room to hang out which is what we really wanted. Foosball table also. SOMETHING TO NOTE: three rooms are on the second floor and only one on the main. No washer and dryer to use. The kitchen is not stocked with a lot of stuff. But we were able to make things like lasagna. But I did tell the host so she could make sure the right dishes were in the house. Since it looked like this house was mainly used for graduation parents we left behind a few things for the next renter. Just small stuff like paper plates and aluminum foil. But if everyone did this then we would keep helping out our fellow families. There was some coffee and stuff left before us as well. Long story short great host, okay house, great distance from base, sketchy looking area but where isn't in Chicago? At least coming from a small town this big city scared me. LOLSafe travels everyone! Thank you Ellie!!

Excellent location (less than 2 miles from GL Naval Station) for families attending Seaman Recruit boot camp graduation. 4 bdrms & 2 1/2 baths were perfect for several family members in town for graduation. Especially when our new Sailor was granted overnight liberty. Large family room area and separate large dining area were perfect for relaxing and when we ordered dinner in vs trying to go out.

Great rental for RTC graduation

We stayed here for 6 nights during our son’s naval RTC graduation. Very convenient if your sailor is staying in GL for A school and has liberty all weekend. So close to the base. Plenty of space for lots of family members. Older home but it is clean, communication with owner was good and they allowed us a late check out to spend as much time with our sailor.

Large and Room for improvement

Very large house. Great for families. Lots of room. Ideas for improvement- offer more dishes, silverware, etc. since large groups can stay there. Offer basic cleaning supplies so people can clean countertops after using. Offer extra hand towels and kitchen towels for cleaning. Have directions for tv use. Recommendations for places to eat/things to do.

DIRTY AND DAMAGED

These people have no idea what clean means! They’re rude and despicable! Don’t stay at this property unless you want sour garbage cans, old condiments in the fridge, hair everywhere, dirty dishes, pots and pans, spiders, and bed bugs! BEWARE OF THE CASH GRAB! The owner doesn’t care about sanitation or comfort of his guest. Yet, he will tell you how amoral and unethical you are for reporting him to Vrbo for misrepresenting the condition of the property.

The owner of the property was easy to communicate with and very helpful. Our family has stayed at two houses from the owner and each house is beautiful and well taken care of. Two graduations from Navy boot camp and two pleasant stays! I would recommend this house or any other of the owners properties.

Naval Weekend

The house is old and in need of updates. We arrived at night, and the house was difficult to locate because it did not have a numbered address on the house. We had to use the process of elimination. The owners reached out once, only asking, "Have you checked into your VRBO?" I asked them several questions without a reply. It is close to the Naval Base, but if I could do it again, I would rent in Libertyville or Forest Lakes.

Roof over your head

The home was exactly as described—a basic roof over our heads with no real luxury. It was relatively clean, though nothing special. We had just enough towels for the duration of our stay, and the beds weren’t particularly comfortable. The biggest advantage was its location, just down the street from the Navy Base where my son was graduating. Aside from that, there wasn’t much else to highlight, though the space itself was quite large.Check-in was easy, and the management company was accommodating when I spoke with them. Overall, it was a decent deal for the price and convenience. However, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy. That said, it served its purpose for what we needed.

Navy Graduation

Thank you very much! This was the perfect location for my son‘s navy graduation it accommodated everyone and I was able to do all my cooking for a huge friend and family meal. The rooms were very spacious and the living area was perfect for hosting the extra friends and family That came over to celebrate the navy graduation Thanksgiving and Christmas all wrapped up into one. The location was only four minutes for pick up and drop off, which was absolutely perfect. There was no time wasted on the road not getting to see my son. I want to personally thank the host for accommodating our needs. It was very much appreciated.!!!

Not as described

The only thing good about this house was the location. It was horrible in every other way. First thing was that we never recieved a code to disarm the alarm system so for 3 minutes we heard the siren. We had to call to get the code to shut it off. Then when we made our way into the house we noticed not one but two holes in the master bathroom celling not little ones either. Thirdly when making our way up the stairs my whole family tripped up them because of the unevenness of the stair lengths no warning was given for this before arriving. Now on to how dirty it actually was. We encounter clumps of hair on the living room floor, hair on the sheets, and stains throughout the house. It was a challenge to find outlets that worked. The description stated a quiet neighborhood however the neighbors were sitting in their car at all hours blaring music. My children could not sleep due to the constant noises the house was making. Now to the worst of the worst, we found mouse droppings on the counter and a cheese stick had been chewed through the middle. The counter top pattern was obviously chosen to hide this but it was very clearly seen by us all. We came to have a happy occasion with our son graduating bootcamp and it turned in to a nightmare with the accommodation.

It worked

If you’re looking for a place that’s clean and no communication from the owners then this is the place for you. We would not have booked if we would have seen outside pictures that showed the boarded up house next door. The drive way is fully fenced in and difficult to navigate. Neighborhood is a bit questionable. The house is on a super busy street which was noisy. We did not receive check in details until we reached out to VRBO to obtain the hosts contact information an hour before our check in time and never received any check out instructions. The house was decently clean. It was very close to the Naval base which made it convenient for pick up and drop off of our graduate so it worked for our basic needs.
