Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Elgin

very nice place. backyard opens to the neighborhood park and that was a huge bonus when traveling with young kids

Our hostess was very accommodating. She was willing to help us if there was something we needed or had a question about. We found out that staying at the peaceful cottage was very peaceful and relaxing. We truly enjoyed our stay there. Betsy is a fantastic hostess.

Homey, comfortable, and spacious! (Read the description!) We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful and quiet area! There is plenty of room for families to spread out. I really appreciated the no extra cleaning, even though we always leave things clean anyway! Thanks for a great place to stay! (Note if you have difficulty with stairs that all bedrooms are on the second floor). Thanks for a great start!

Great place to stay at. Beautiful house with lots of beds. The area is nice and peaceful too. Anmol is a great host

Excellent location not too distant from local stores, and an easy drive from Chicago O'Hare and the nearby convention center. Host was accommodating and allowed for a bit of an early check in. The property was clean and we ran into no issues during our stay!

Justin's family home is in a very nice historic neighborhood. Within 1 mile of Elgin downtown historic district. The residential area has many magnificent homes/classic architecture that are extremely well manicured. There are also some properties in transition. We felt very safe in this neighborhood. We rented here for our daughter's June wedding at Brix on Fox as this was the closest home of decent size for us to stay for 6 days. The bridal party spent 6 hours on the wedding day getting ready at the house and there is ample room for this. There were 4 bedrooms available and we only used 2 of them, master and another with a king bed. The 2 bathrooms are very good. Justin was very clear that they are in the process of remodeling themselves and having done that in my younger days I can appreciate the house not being perfect. Definitely a 4 of 5 star summary. Will be a 5 someday, with a little more work! Beautiful garden in the back yard.

That was my second stay here . Still perfect . Nice whole kitchen equipped with everything u need for a small family . Bathroom is clean and very spacious. Heat is central and it worked perfectly. Bed is very comfortable. It is high recommended. Host is very helpful and kind. Perfect AIRBNB

Jaime place was the most amazing home to make you feel right at home. Home was clean and made you feel right at home.

Excellent host and excellent Airbnb. I fell in love with Cary, the area is so beautiful and peaceful. The Airbnb itself is the perfect amount of space and Vicki made sure to include all the amenities. We felt right at home. We will definitely book again when back in the area.

This apartment was super cozy and warm. Everything was labeled nicely and everything we needed could be found in the kitchen and the bathroom.

We enjoyed our experience in Crystal Lake and staying in this sweet home. Brent was an ideal host; accommodating, replied quickly, provided suggestions on local spots and even further recs once asked. His instructions are clear which made arrival/departure easy. The home was a great size, clean & we loved having a king bed & large master bedroom (great closet space too!) We enjoyed the balcony area overlooking the downtown area which was so fun to explore during our time there. Thanks again, Brent! We’ll be back.

This is the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in and we’ve been back so many times it feels like coming home. Softest sheets ever! Cute decor. Nicole is a fantastic host and if ever needed responds quickly. But we usually don’t need to contact her because everything is perfect!

Great stay!

Great host, responsive, very attentive to make sure the stay is peaceful and very clean space. The first thing I notice was how organized and how well thought out the space was.

This place is so restful! The apartment was extremely clean and comfortable. We loved the big roomy eat in kitchen with a view of the river. We loved sitting in the front room and watching the river and all of the wildlife - ducks, birds, chipmunks, squirrels and even fish in the water! And the sunsets were sensational!

Great place to stay! Very quiet and was near a variety of fun activities to do in the city. Thanks for the opportunity to stay here!

When we were first looking for a place to stay, none of the available AirB&Bs looked great. A week later, we looked again, and suddenly Julia's place popped up. It was so much better looking, and with a fairer price, than any others I could find in the list. A two-bedroom that is a *real* two-bedroom, for the price that others were charging for a pull-out bed in the living room. It was just as beautiful in-person. We felt immediately at-home and comfortable. I'm someone who has insomnia, especially while traveling, but there, I had no problem sleeping somehow. Also, it truly is a short walk to the Blue Line, or even a just few steps from the 77 bus route, which goes to the Blue Line, or all the way right into downtown Chicago.

My family and I were in town for my nephew's graduation, and Marika's home was truly beautiful, so inviting, and comfortable. She definitely paid attention to details that made the stay even more cozy. Beautiful property, and well appointed! Easy lovely, 10 minute walk to town, also. We look forward to staying there again when in Geneva 😊

Great stay at Anne’s place. She was very communicative and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone coming to the Chicago area!

The time spent here was wonderful. This place has everything you need to feel at home away from home. Everything was clean and comfortable. The area was also really nice with tons of food and drinks within walking distance. The blue line is a short walk away and the busses run on the corner. I would definitely stay here again when coming back to Chicago.

I had an amazing stay! Place was very accurate to the post on Airbnb and the host was very polite with clear instructions, and check in! Thank you for providing such an amazing Chicago experience for me and my husband!

This is a WONDERFUL one bedroom apartment that is both private and spacious! The owner/host has the space fabulously decorated with an eclectic mix of original contemporary artwork and antiques. Nothing is generic about the space and it has been outfitted for guests with loving care. The host, Kaye, clearly puts much trust in her guests with her charming decor and furnishings. The amount of space, the privacy and the home-y feel make it a place we'd love to return to.

Lori’s place was amazing! The location was perfect, peaceful, yet centrally located near tons of things to do. Whether you want to explore or just head back to relax, it’s the ideal spot. I highly recommend taking your coffee out onto the balcony to enjoy the beautiful view, it was one of my favorite parts of the stay. Lori was incredibly responsive and checked in often to make sure I had everything I needed. I would 100% stay here again in a heartbeat!

The room is great. You get everything you see on the photos. The kitchen is clean and well-equipped. The location is very close to CTA Chicago train station and you get easy access to downtown. What's more, there's a CVS and Asian supermarket nearby, you can easily get everything you need.
