Spotless and cozy, guests say

Guests highlight how clean and comfortable this 1940s bungalow is, with many planning return visits.
This brick bungalow was built in 1940 on what was originally the back lot of Mendota's historic Faber House (built in 1908). It's in a quiet, residential neighborhood only a 5 minute walk from the grocery store and a 12 minute walk from the local coffee shop. Visiting via Amtrak? It's a 10 minute walk. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the basement laundry is also available. You will feel like you are at home, only better.

The space
There are 2 bedrooms; Bedroom 1 has a queen bed, Bedroom 2 has a full and a twin. There is also a not-quite-full futon bed in the living room - let us know if you wish to use this bed and we'll have it made up for you. The full bath is between the bedrooms and access is from the hall. Laundry facilities are in the basement.

Guest access
Guests are welcome to use the entire house and yard (though the yard is very small).

Other things to note
The pack-n-play is located in the closet near the front door. Clean sheets and blankets are stored with it.

Our high chair is stored in the front entry; booster seat is found in the closet near the front door.

A laundry basket of toys and dolls is also in the closet near the front door. Feel free to drag it out and play!

Born in the 60s
My work: Music teacher, ret.
We (DH and I) are retired teachers and owners/hosts of Cherry Bear Bed and Breakfast and a Charming 1940s Bungalow Airbnb in Mendota, IL. After living in the Chicago suburbs for 25 years, this is our retirement dream and we are thrilled. When traveling, we love to support local communities and get a bit off the beaten path. We like to check out good restaurants, museums, concerts and interesting places but won't be going to clubs or sporting events. Thanks for staying with us!
