Boot Camp Graduation Stay
This was the PERFECT place to stay with our new sailor! We didn’t know the area at all and were concerned if it would be too far from base and things to do, but it is not. It was the perfect distance from everything. Just enough time to chat in the car with our new sailor when picking up and taking back to base. It is located in a beautiful, nice neighborhood. The house was just perfect too. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Our sailor took a nice 3-hour nap on a comfortable bed (more comfortable than what he has slept in for the past 11 weeks). We ordered take out from Timothy O’Toole’s - the Fish & Chips are amazing!! Then the next night we grilled steaks on the house outdoor grill. It was just the perfect 3-days. We are so grateful for this VRBO - thank you so much!

Graduation
Very nice home in a great neighborhood. It was close to the Navy base, shopping and dining. Plus we had to go back and forth to Ohare a few times and it was about 30 minutes away depending on traffic. Only thoughts I would have is living room furniture isn’t the most comfortable but the does the job!

Nice stay! Great location for Six Flags.
Clean well kept property. Only thing we didn't care for would be all the beds are very firm. The bed in the master bedroom is by far the hardest mattress we have ever slept on. Even with that we would still stay again.

A great place to relax and rejuvenate!
We enjoyed bringing our new Sailor to a comfy home where he could relax and enjoy time with his family. This home worked out great for our family. If I am ever in the area I would definitely book again.

Great Saty
House was gorgeous…loved the patio in the back. The only thing was missing was the screen door to let the breeze in! The house was comfy and cozy for all of us to have a family dinner 8 ppl and was close to everything. 15 minutes to the Navy base and less than 10 minutes to the Outlets. I will def be back if we go to Chicago.

Navy Graduation
In Chicago for daughter’s graduation from the Navy. Being able to spend quality time with her as a family in a warm and homey environment was exactly what we all needed. Home is immaculate and has all the necessities needed for cooking. We all slept great, beds were super comfortable! Had games and books and a table that fit us all so we could sit and eat together and just talk! I highly recommend anyone going to a Navy Graduation to stay here instead of a hotel. Naval base is so close and also shopping! Make sure you go to Shanty’s Restaurant for the best burgers! Thank you Kelly for being an excellent hostess!

Wonderful place to stay
We enjoyed every part of our stay. The house was super clean and exactly as advertised. It's on a nice, quiet street. I really appreciated being able to park my rental car in the garage. We were in town for Navy RTC graduation and the location was perfect. It was far enough away from the base that we could go out to eat without dealing with the crowds near the base. A trip into Chicago included a 1 hour drive to the Howard St. Station for the CTA red line which then took us everywhere we wanted to go in the City. Super easy.

Review for Centrally Located Gurnee Townhome W/ Deck!
Everything was great about my experience staying at this property from booking the property to staying & heading back home. The owners responded within minutes of booking the property as well as when I had requested for additional information & accommodations. The property was in a great location for us, was in great condition & made our trip & stay a very memorable one.

Great property! Conveniently located & close to the Naval Base. Great for hanging out with family! Kitchen was great for cooking in! Would stay there again! The only thing I would change is the living couch could be a little more comfortable. Other than that, everything was perfect!
