Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Elgin

Great place to Spend the night or even a week. Our fight to Miami got canceled and his place was the perfect place for our family of 5 to spend the night. Friendly and responsive would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Chicago.

Tucked along the quiet northern edge of Antioch, this house doesn’t just offer a place to stay - it gives you something to feel. Vaulted ceilings, custom barnwood beds, and raw concrete countertops set the tone: warm, solid, and built with intent. The private beach isn’t flashy - it’s better. Soft sand, still water, and no reason to rush. Grill outside, gather at the big family-style table, then sweat it all out in the sauna that feels like it was made to erase stress. The beds hit the sweet spot between firm and forgiving. Every corner of the place feels curated without being pretentious. Jewel is just up the road if you need supplies, but you’ll quickly forget the outside world exists. And Waylon? The kind of host you rarely get - quick to respond, genuinely helpful, and fully dialed in without hovering. This isn’t just a weekend rental - it’s the kind of place that makes you rethink how you spend your time off. You’ll leave better than you arrived.

Amazing house and location. Great host. Highly recommend.

Alex is a great host! Dog friendly places are hard to find and his place made my dog feel super comfortable. Love this place and definitely will be back.

This was our first time renting an Airbnb, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s a great home, conveniently located in the Geneva/St Charles area. The home is spacious, with upgrades throughout, beautifully decorated, comfortable and exceptionally clean! The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy an extended stay for our adult family. There is also a finished walk out basement area with a nice gathering or play area for families with small children. The host Stephanie was very responsive and considerate to our unique needs, and check in and check out instructions were simple. The house is everything as listed and described, it was a good home base for us visiting family in the Fox Valley area over the holidays. Highly recommend this house and Stephanie as a host. We would stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. There was so much to do and this was the perfect meeting place for three couples from different states to have a reunion! We had two small children, ages 4 and 6 and there was so much for them to do. Theresa was so thoughtful in the details for this place. From the art studio to the snacks to coffee, we felt right at home! Thank you for a wonderful stay, we can’t wait to come back!!

Safe location in a neighborhood. Clean and hosts were responsive and helpful. Not too far from downtown

We were in the area for a family wedding. Decided to pull our own boat down to experience Lake Geneva. The home itself was much bigger than I imagined from pictures. Its clean. Its basic. No frills. So if you are looking for frills, probably not the place for you. There was room to park our boat off the street. The fenced in back yard with deck, table with umbrella was such a nice option. That's where we spent the majority of our time when we weren't some where else. You are just a short walk from the lake/beach area. As far as boating on the lake..... unless you like crazy busy and waves the size of deep sea fishing.... keep your boat home. (PS... we are from a very rural area, so it might just be what one is use to) The rental met all of our needs. Thank you for your hospitality

We really enjoyed staying at this place - it was clean and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. Elizabeth was very responsive and a great host. We would stay here again!

This is the perfect place for a cozy Chicago getaway, very clean, peaceful, great location, and probably the most well-stocked Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. Jenny is very friendly and responsive. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Jessica’s place was great and perfect jumping off point for my family attending my brother’s wedding and other festivities.

Great spot to stay and James was awesome, would highly recommend this place to any of my friends, thanks again!

Nice place to stay in a good neighborhood! Would stay here again, thank you!

Craig was extremely nice and accommodating when it came to my birthday weekend. He responds quickly to all questions asked and makes sure we’re comfortable at all times. This home was clean, accurately described, and had the perfect “home feeling”. Overall, when visiting the area I will be booking here again !

Great location! The place was very easy to find and within walking distance some really good restaurants. Loved our stay!

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

Tricia's place was wonderful. It was a close 5 minute drive to William's Bay, where we spent most of our time. The home was perfect, quiet, and we'd love to stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay. John works hard to offer the best experience to his guests. The place was super clean and welcoming. Photos are matching. Close to everything with UBER. Some restaurants are located in the block. I recommend this appartement.

Joan's daughter, Rebekah, communicated directly with me through the Airbnb app. She provided detailed check-in instructions, a phone number to contact her, etc. It seems Rebekah lives in Hawaii so please keep note of that for response times, etc. The house was comfortable, very clean, and well-appointed. Joan and Rebekah have a beautiful collection of original art, artifacts, etc. so please keep that in mind if you are bringing small children to the home. Please note that the 1st floor bedroom has a king bed and full bathroom; and the lower level has 2 twin beds in the open area, 1 full bed and 1 twin bed in the first bedroom, and 1 full bed and 1 futon in the second bedroom (including a full laundry and utility room in a closed room).

Convenient stay right outside of the heart of downtown Chicago! Easy to drive into town for the day. Very comfortable beds and very clean as well. Would recommend

"5-star stay! Clean, convenient, and great value. Would book again!"

We loved our stay at this beautiful location. It was close by to everything we wanted to do and the condo was exactly what we were hoping for! Rachel gave great recommendations and was so responsive to our questions. We will definitely stay here again!

This place was awesome. Felt very homie and comfortable. I love the decor and that there was a TV in each room. This place was beautiful and i wouldn’t mind staying again.

Lovely space! Very clean, Comfy bed, beautiful views of the lake, even better than the photos, nice private location. We did not have a chance to check out the amenities, like the hot tub and pool at the near by resort but will definitely stay again to check it out!
