We stayed a week at Ms. Kathy’s home. We knew nothing about Illinois, except we wanted to be kind of between our daughter who we were visiting in Channahon, and Chicago. Oak Park is wonderful! I could literally spend all day just walking the historic neighborhood. You can walk to downtown Oak Park, which is a great place for meals, treats, book store, historic movie theatre & a host of other places. If you want, the walk to the “L” train is doable.
The actual home is beautiful! There are 2 fairly large bedrooms & both beds are incredibly comfortable. The main bed is adjustable & it vibrates! (Insert cheeky comment here). Also, the large couch folds out - the mattress is inflatable & is very comfortable. The bathroom is beautiful - plenty of hot water & towels. Kitchen is stocked; large oven & gas stove top. We’re from Alabama, so we only know how to survive with central air. This home does not have that, but each room has an air unit & there’s a large unit in living room. And we were very comfortable.
Ms. Kathy, the owner, is great. She lives in the basement - you’ll be on the main floor. I texted her with several questions throughout the week & she’s quick & friendly in response. She was very kind, recommending lots of things we can do, both in Chicago & in Oak Park. This place is 5 stars, and I can’t wait to come back in the winter to play in the snow!
