Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Portage

Booked this for a birthday trip for my partner. We brough 13 of our friends with us and had the best time. All our friends were instantly impressed with how beautiful the house was when we pulled up for the first time. Having 15 adults in a house can be hard, but we all felt totally at home and like we all had enough space. The house is so well stocked, I brought extra kitchen things with me as I'm so used to going to rentals where the kitchen has a broken spatula, three forks, and a salt shaker. However, the kitchen had so many gadgets and utensils I didn't need to bring anything at all. Making meals for 15 people was easy and fun. The lighting in the house is beautiful and the area was so fun to explore. Truly so close to the local grocery store, the red arrow roadhouse and town line beach. Which were all big parts of our weekend plan. Had so much fun, this feels like a real home and there is so much care and heart in it's decoration and maintenance. Would stay again x100!!

My brother's bachelor party was held at this property. It was an awesome week, the house was perfect. It is a truly beautiful location and property.

Delbert’s place was nice, and Delbert was a good host. Would definitely stay again.

House was beautiful and perfect for our girlfriend's weekend! Everything the listing says it was! Thanks to the owners for fast responses too! Great stay!

It is obvious that Karen has the gift of hospitality! She truly thinks of and provides everything you might need to be comfortable during your stay…. And then some! We enjoyed watching the beautiful snowfall from the large front windows. We were glad we had 4 wheel drive as there was no plowing happening in this rural lake area. We would not have changed it, though. It was just beautiful. We look forward to coming back to experience the cabin in warm weather, too!

I can’t wait to come back. Was there for a lacrosse tournament, this house was great for us. Clean, comfy, great location. Josh responded to our questions very fast… there’s a park close by where the kids walked to go play… super close to Notre Dame, lots of restaurants, things to do. The beds are so comfy kitchen has enough to get you by… next time we’re in town, we’ll be back! Thanks for a great experience!

We had a great time visiting with our college kids over Easter break. The location was incredible! It felt like we had all of Lake Michigan to ourselves on the private beach. We would absolutely stay there again!

We booked with very little notice, and Tomasz was able to accommodate us. He was quick to respond and keep us updated on when the house would be ready for us. The area was quiet; we were visiting in the off-season, so there wasn't a lot to do, but that was fine for us! We were very comfortable in the house.

A great place to stay for a family to explore downtown Chicago. The location is convenient, with easy access to major attractions, and restaurants. The home was clean, cozy, and well-equipped — we truly felt like we were at our own home. The host was responsive and thoughtful, which made our stay even more comfortable. Highly recommended!

The apartment is adorable, charmingly decorated, very secure, and literally a couple of blocks away from the shopping/ restaurant/etc area (complete with an adorable yarn store, btw). It's a peaceful, very walkable, area. Full functional kitchen (again, wish I'd been staying longer; I would have cooked while there). The hosts left a helpful list of fun places to eat/drink/hang out.

Loved the vintage charm of Kitty’s Place. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, steps away from a trail where we walked to Wicker Park to enjoy local coffee, vintage shopping, and had lunch. You can catch the train or a bus nearby to head down to the loop. Kitty was very accommodating and was a wonderful host.

The place is was very nice and clean! Price is worth it and it’s also very relaxing. The hosts were very nice and welcoming too! Would stay here again if in the area!

Elizabeth’s unit is cozy and quaint and has anything one could need. Bed is comfortable, shower is strong, kitchen is functional, and there is a small workspace for those in town for their job. A 15 minute walk to public transportation to downtown and elsewhere and there are two areas for restaurants, one just a 10 minutes walk. There is a small back porch for use in nicer weather and a dedicated parking space. Elizabeth is always available for questions and take pride in her rental. You won’t be disappointed.

Daniela’s place was perfect for us! Tons of space and she was so kind about the kids’ noise - we try to keep it down but with 3 it’s not always easy. Beautiful apartment - super clean and comfortable - I considered for the first time moving to Evanston someday. Thank you Daniela!

This was a beautiful place! it had everything we needed. Oak Park downtown is walkable and has everything you could want. It is an upstairs unit so be prepared for some steps. Parking was easy. Michelle was great! Downtown Chicago is only 15m (if there's no traffic.). We would definitely come back!

Rhonda was a wonderful host. The place was beautiful and the lake peaceful. We loved the firepit!

We met here with college friends and their families and had a wonderful time. There is a wide variety of books, games, and activities; we really didn’t need to bring our own! The hosts were very responsive and even drove out with trash bags when we messaged that we couldn’t find any. Highly recommend!

Lovvvvve this place location was great and if u have kids there was a nice trampoline park one block away kids loved it also all the neighbors were very friendly love how the host Natasha left note with some roses, a bottle of wine and some snacks. There is two patio areas that you would love if you were outdoor person. And they also have a rooftop right off the second bedroom and OMG the bathroom in the master bedroom was my favorite the place was clean could have been cleaner but no one is perfect but nothing major you can definitely tell there was animals in the home because my allergies was on a 1000 other than that this place was one of the best places I stayed me and my family loved it and will definitely be back one of the best air bnb/host I have ever stayed with thank u and we left items behind and she asked if she can send them to use I really appreciate that more then she know what yall waiting for please don’t hesitate. This is the perfect spot for you and your family

We had an excellent time here. Our whole dance team was able to stay comfortably and safely. We managed to fit 5 cars in the parking which was essential to us. It was all clean close to everything we came to Chicago for. The communication with the host was great and always prompt. We loved it here.
