Family-friendly vacation rentals in Arlington Heights

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!

This was our second visit to Amanda’s and just like the first time, it left my boys with fun memories. We will be back next summer.

Great stay! Thanks for making it so easy. Big space for lots of family to be together and have space.

Amanda is the best host I’ve ever had, she is so friendly and responsive. Her kitchen was fully equipped, she gave us the option of having firewood delivered, the place is absolutely beautiful, you walk down some stairs to get to the beach. A group of 8 moms went there for a weekend getaway and it was exactly what we needed. Thank you!

i loved this airbnb, great spot if you just want to explore chicago. max was super quick with responses and helpful with any questions i had.

We had a great stay at Delphine's place in Uptown. The location is excellent, being on a tree-lined street, but very close to the Red Line, the Broadway bus, Andersonville, Little Asia, grocery stores and more. As we had a little kid, being right on top of the little park downstairs was also very convenient. On the flipside, it can get noisy in the summer with lots of kids/playgroups coming there, but as parents, we didn't mind. Delphine herself was very quick to respond via Whatsapp to all our queries before and during our stay. One thing to keep in mind at her place is that you are very much living in their home. If you are looking for an apartment that is only intended for guests, this is not it. While it is plenty big as a 2BR/2BA, it is full of stuff, furniture, photos, books, toys, etc. They have made a very nice office space in the main living area, but the drawback is that the living area is now very cramped. The main bedroom has 2 queen size beds in it, which is a bit weird, so we just ended up using one bed to keep our clothes on. The other bedroom with bunk beds is excellent for kids and more spacious. So overall, a great place and a great stay, and especially good if you are a couple with 1 or 2 kids. Just a bit cramped and crowded with stuff. We stayed for 2 weeks.

Great trip! House was very clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. The host was very communicative and helpful throughout the stay and rules and guidelines were very helpful!

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.

great spot, close to a brown line stop but not close enough to hear the train, clean, easy to check in, would stay there again.

The house was cozy and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very close to Geneva National and Lake Geneva trail.

Our stay was absolutely perfect. Everything was nice, clean, and homey. We loved the outdoor space and the flat was well equipped for cooking and hanging in. The decor was one of a kind as well. My family of 5 had plenty of space and will stay here over and over again!

We were a party of 8 humans and 2 dogs, staying for the weekend. Our family had plenty of space, and the outdoor patio was a nice bonus. The kitchen was well-equipped with coffee and tea, nice new appliances, lots of dishes and utensils (we did not need a melon baller, but she had one in case we needed it!). We found it really easy to get to the L, and also convenient for walking. It was such a relief to park once and not have to drive at all. The street was nice and quiet (I mean, there were trains, because Chicago ☺️). It felt very safe, so we were comfortable taking the dogs on walks anytime. Alexandra communicated with me really well leading up to our stay, and stayed in touch throughout. We made a lot of memories, and the lovely accommodations were part of that.

We loved this cute, Craftman-style apartment. It was so homey and well arranged, nicely furnished, and beautifully decorated that we seriously wanted to move in! The owners were very thoughtful about providing what visitors will need. (They even provided a spare umbrella!) Everything was exactly as described, and communication was friendly and prompt. The only issue we had was trying to find on-street parking. We had to park several blocks away and, sadly, our car was stolen from that parking spot. Otherwise, it was a lovely neighborhood and a convenient location. Despite the parking problems, I would stay there again.

Lovely flat, excellent collection of games and books. Very well stocked, super clean. Hosts were very friendly and responsive.

My friend and I truly enjoyed your home. Peaceful and in a perfect location. I truly enjoyed the mermaid art. It was the best hideaway for us. She needed a place to recover. Peanut also was very happy. Thank you.

Rick’s place offered a variety of great amenities. We felt right at home. The pool table and pinball were great additions and the neighborhood was beautiful. There was plenty of room!! Its proximity to the Northwestern University athletic fields and Linden CTA stop made everything super easy. He is very responsive and friendly. Great stay. Would recommend to anyone.

This host was extremely responsive and helpful. The place was clean and in a convenient location. There were some negatives, though these things were out of the host’s control so I didn’t lower my rating. I’m including these just so other people know about them before booking. The building smells strongly of marijuana, and the train is very very close and loud. The host does provide earplugs and white noise, which was helpful. While I was there, there was a leaky faucet and the AC was broken. The host offered to fix them immediately, and I appreciated their responsiveness.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great location in downtown Chicago with easy access to the city.

A great stay right near a Main Street. Tons of options for going out but still quiet in your space. Warning. You will smell the BBQ restaurant and you will salivating.

Stephen was a welcoming host and the cabin was exactly as described. The location is secluded and quiet, but you’re also close to groceries, restaurants and fun antique stores. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking meals, and the fireplace is cozy and perfect for relaxing. Even with snow on the ground we enjoyed strolling around the property down to the lake. A wonderful stay, we’d love to visit again.
