Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Elgin

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.

This stay provided a relaxing and quiet atmosphere. Perfect space and amenities. Maria provided perfect communication and the location was safe and clean. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. The downstairs bedroom has an ensuite bathroom while the two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom. The bathrooms has great amenities and are spacious as well. The kitchen was clean and had anything you could want or need to make a meal. Maria even thought of some other items like Tupperware and parchment paper. The coffee maker was serviceable. The gift basket was truly indulgent and appreciated. The big sofa was comfy and the tvs are the perfect size with any app you may want. While it was cold outside and I didn't get to enjoy the property, it was certainly still beautiful and lovely to enjoy my coffee and watch the snow in the mornings. I highly recommend this Airbnb. Thank you for letting me staying.

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.

We were happy to stay here as adults and a golden retriever on a beautiful fall weekend. Easy to get to town and the lake, comfortable spaces for gathering, and a big peaceful backyard that we all appreciated. Nikki was a friendly and helpful host with explanations of the house and restaurant recommendations. Nice to know: the 2 upstairs bedrooms are comfortable but each have a side with an angled lower ceiling- careful if you’re taller. There are one or two small steps up to both the front and side doors. There is a nice main floor primary suite tho for anyone who has trouble with more substantial stairs We would definitely stay here again!

Really enjoyed staying at Elizabeth's Moluf St duplex! Great open layout, comfortable furnishings, large fenced yard perfect for dog, thoughtful appliances and amenities. Really love parking in attached garage!! I've stayed here before and hope to stay here again. Thanks!

Sharron and her family were extremely accommodating. I highly recommend her home for a quiet spacious and comfortable stay.

Hosts were very responsive to issues that arose and compensated (of their own accord, I didn’t ask) for the inconvenience that occurred. An inconvenience out of their control. Nice people, answered my 101 questions, as it was my very first Air bnb experience. My only thing was that it was not advertised that there were stairs and all beds and the only bath were upstairs. My son is handicapped so it made it very difficult getting him up and down the 16-17 stairs. Otherwise it’s definitely a very cute place! Our animals (more than 1) were allowed, which is kind of a hard thing to find these days in all honesty. I just don’t recommend this particular property of theirs for anyone with a handicap. They do have others! All in all, definitely a great first time experience for my kids and I!

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

Beautiful views, great layout, and extremely dog friendly with nice touches make this place stand out! Very close to all the state parks in the area, but there’s plenty to do on site as well. Check in was seamless, we had clear instructions throughout, and the place was perfect!

It was a great stay for me and my son and his wife and my two grandsons. The boys loved all the games and us adults really liked the pool table. Didn't get to enjoy the pool while we were there cause it was too early in the season, but all in all a really nice place to relax. It's got everything you need there minus the food of course.Give it a shot you won't be disappointed.

Nice house with updates. We used all four bedrooms, so everyone had their own space. Kitchen and living room looked nice, but a bit cozy if everyone was in the space at the same time. There was a large breakfast nook/counter in the kitchen instead of a table. More dishes, mugs, etc. in the kitchen would have been nice. The coffee maker and provided K-cups were great! Would definitely stay again if it's available when we are in the area again.

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).

Check in was easy, and everything was as described. Julie’s place met our needs for a place to stay while visiting family. Her place is clean and well supplied. Lots of room which we didn’t use all of it. The fenced in area was nice to be able to let our dogs out.

Deidre is an amazing host. She goes above and beyond for each guest. We always appreciate her welcoming us into her home and her attentive and responsiveness to our requests. Highly recommend!

We were genuinely surprised to find a place in this location so close to the relatives we were visiting. Genoa City is not exactly the hotspot on the border! The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, but no overly inquisitive citizens. Property was perfect for our requirements, with the fenced in back yard that allowed us to let our pet out whenever without having to use a leash. Nice personal welcoming touches were unexpected and truly appreciated, since we arrived late and weren't able to do any shopping before hand. Beds were comfortable and spaced throughout the second floor, with expansion in the lower basement if necessary for bigger families, especially those with older children. School immediately across the street is great for spontaneous recreation of all types if you have the equipment. Our dog has not had the opportunity to enjoy such a large open space for quite some time and it was great to wear him out for the evening prior to bedtime. Abundant TVs throughout the home!

Spent a vacation here with my family, everything was accurately described and easy to get in and had everything I needed. I recommend this location and housing for any get-aways.

We hardly know where to begin! Originally, we chose this place as a little escape from the city and a spot for our pup, Roo, to run and explore. However, The Tiny Red House far exceeded our expectations in every way! To start, the yard was absolutely perfect. On top of that, the area is filled with beautiful, dog-friendly trails, making it an ideal getaway for nature lovers. As for the house itself—it was by far the most well-stocked Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! No other rental even comes close. We also fell in love with the location—close enough to the lake for convenience yet peacefully tucked away for privacy. To say we had a great time would be an understatement! Thank you for such a wonderful stay! We truly appreciate the thought and care that went into making this place so special.

The little blue bungalow was the perfect getaway for a weekend! We are new to the Midwest and enjoyed a snowy picturesque weekend at Chelsea and Cale’s awesome place. Very cute decor, environmentally friendly, lovely hosts and great location. We’ll have to come back in the summer sometime!

We loved it and we come to Aurora a few times a year. We will definitely be staying again.

This place exceeded my expectations. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a nice vacation with a stunning setup and a fantastic host!

This is a very beautiful house with TONS of space, big and perfect for my healing retreat, I hosted 9 ladies, the backyard is huge plus there was an outdoor event area. The place looked exactly like pictures, clean, host was responsive and polite. The house is very relaxing and peaceful. I would definitely recommend!

The listing doesn’t do this place justice. It was so very very clean, well appointed including an iron and ironing board which wasnt mentioned in the listing. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Plenty of hot water and more than enough bath towels and wash cloths. Shower gels and shampoos provided. Well appointed kitchen and freezer full of ice. The bed was so comfortable I overslept every morning. Super easy check in and out. I’m going to mention again the cleanliness of the place - on a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 20. I highly recommend this place.

Great studio with a very comfy bed. Nice porch. Very peaceful with lots of land around us. We got to check in a little early and bring our dog. Very clean space. Really close to Starved Rock. Bottled water available for drinking. Perfect place to stop for the night.

Anna and Chris are great host. I am very happy to find her place I definitely recommend. I had great time and I appreciate the patience and guidance as I need a lot.
