Family-friendly holiday rentals in McHenry

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!

Our host was extremely tentative and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at the home. It was big enough to accommodate our family plus a few other visitors, plenty of beds, plenty of living space so people didn’t have to be on top of each other. Very close to downtown and the blue line which made going to the airport and downtown much more accessible. we didn’t even have to rent a car.

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!

This place was extremely great! It was close to downtown and lots of restaurants and food near by the bnb! Only thing I’ll say is the shower head is kind of flimsy but besides that everything is nice clean and the rooms are huge! Very peaceful and quiet over there!

The house was very centrally located and convenient to everything in Lake Geneva. It was a good size for my adult family to stay and we enjoyed the common areas for gathering. The house is old but in a way that we found quirky and charming, and overall clean and functional. There is only one shower but we didn't run out of hot water so it worked out. Parking and entry were very easy. Overall a great find and value if you are okay with an older place and want to prioritize a central location with several private bedrooms.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay! My family came in from New Mexico for my daughter's wedding, and we drove in from Illinois. Unfortunately we didn't have time to enjoy the outdoor spaces, but the home was very comfortable. The garage provided a great "hang out" space. We set up bag boards and had a great time! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend! This was my first experience staying at an Airbnb. Thankfully Will was very easy to work with and made it a positive experience.

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.

Loved our stay. Cool neighborhood with lots to do in the direct area. Great advice from Kyle about where to go. Would definitely stay again!

Jamie’s place was a perfect spot to stay in Chicago. There is access to the L within a few miles (with parking structure), and there are many walkable places locally. We highly recommend Caesar Pierogis on West Irving (offers gluten free pierogis). The neighborhood is charming and safe for walking. After long days of exploring, we came back to Jamie’s place and enjoyed watching Netflix and relaxing in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with utensils, and there is a grocery store within walking distance. Jamie is a very thoughtful host, and her home is quite accommodating. We had a lovely get away. Thank you, Jamie!

Alex was great at communicating and following up. We had some questions and she was responsive. Also goes beyond expectations on things like forgetting coats :0) - thank you! The location is great. Short walk to a Main Street of bars and restaurants, kid friendly too - happy campers pizza joint was a great reco! Also close to the brown line train station and not too far into town - we walked it with children and it was fine. House is really large, spacious. I know some have mentioned about hearing the train, but that is part of city living, it was more than fine. Enjoyed the stay, would recommend it and would go back again if visiting Chicago. Thanks Alex!

These hosts are lovely as is this space. The amenities are wonderful and go beyond what they would need to provide - making travel easier! The apartment is spacious, comfy and clean. The area is full of places to go and also right on the Clark bus line, making access to the rest of the city easy peasy. Highly recommend.

This was our first time staying at an Airbnb and it was a very pleasant experience. Place was very clean and we felt right at home. Steve was very responsive with the questions I had.

Our stay at Afsha's was perfect! From the booking through checkout, communication and instructions were proactive and clear. The space was incredibly clean and there were prestine linens and towels available. The kitchen had everything we needed and was organized beautifully. The location is in a thriving neighborhood and the off-street parking space was great to have in an area where parking is hard to find.

Extremely clean and centrally located in Logan Square neighborhood. We drove into the city, but found parking in a street nearby. The apartment was also very close to blue line stops. Would recommend and hope to stay again!

此次的旅行很高興住在這間民宿，室內環境乾淨，街道上也很清靜，房東的回覆也很即時，整體滿意度是非常滿意； 下次如果有機會再來這裡，我還是會選擇同一間民宿的住宿的，謝謝

We loved our time in Chicago. The apartment was very conveniently located. The description matched what was pictured. The train is loud outside of the apartment but I knew about this prior to booking and it didn’t bother us at all. I’d definitely stay here again.

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.

This is a great space. The owner is very responsive and helpful. Looking forward to staying there again.

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.

Charming and comfortable - In the heart of Geneva close to cute shops and many restaurants! Very clean with convenient parking. Wonderful stay!

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!

nice place, was represented well in the pictures. we went for Valentines weekend and enjoyed the fireplace. It snowed our first evening there but the association cleared the drive and sidewalks quickly. I can imagine this would be a summer location with proximity and closeness to Lake Como.

Rose ist eine total liebe und nette Vermieterin. Sehr hilfsbereit. Ich habe mich während meines Aufenthaltes bei ihr und ihrer Familie super wohl und aufgehoben gefühlt.
