Thank you for a lovely stay! We loved the home and the neighborhood is beautiful. We really enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood like the locals do, but making s'mores in the firepit was our favorite. The toys were a hit too!

We had a ball! The house was ideal, and backlot coffee was a must. Thanks for the recommendation. We will be back!

The Kottage was such a dream to stay at. My family stayed at the Kottage on Kildare for 2 weeks while we were displaced due to house renovations. It instantly felt like home. The house is huge, the backyard was a dream for our toddler, the deck was perfect for family dinners and wine, and the location was very close to the L and the Metra. I could not have asked to stay at a better place during such a stressful time.

We had absolutely the best time at the Kottage! We came in from Washington DC to visit family and were able to stay close to them yet still had our privacy at the Kottage. It's fully equipped, renovated, and perfect for our family of four. The hosts left us with some firewood so we could have a s'mores night, which my kids truly enjoyed! Can't wait to be back next year!
