The Space

You won’t believe that you’re in Chicago when you see this beautifully renovated 1890’s coach house. Here a quiet tree-lined street and a verdant urban garden welcome you home to Bucktown House. This rental includes both the first and second floor units, so it’s perfect for a large gathering or multiple families. Each 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment sleeps 5 guests, and there is an interior hallway connecting the two. If you’d like to rent an individual unit, please contact us.

Both suites feature eclectic décor with handpicked designer furnishings. Every aspect of this home has been thoughtfully chosen - from the custom drapes to the cherry wood kitchen cabinets to the luxurious towels and robes in the bathroom. Here are more highlights of the comforts at Bucktown House:

More than 1400 square feet of comfortable, plush living space.

Gourmet kitchens with gas ranges, marble countertops, frost-free refrigerators, microwaves, filtered water systems, and gorgeous glass tiled backsplashes.

Queen-sized beds in the master bedrooms.

Two twin-sized beds with reading lamps in each guest bedroom.

Guest Access

Once you find your free street parking, you can pick your favorite apartment - upstairs or down. The building is secured with self-locking doors, and you’ll use a punch code to enter the house.

The Neighborhood

Bucktown is not just a peaceful residential enclave; it’s also full of incredible arts, dining and activities. The Bucktown House is within walking distance of Holstein Park and The 606 Bloomingdale Trail, a walking/biking trail surrounded by installation art and creative urban landscaping.

Stroll down Damen Avenue for a shopping experience second only to Michigan Avenue, or for a diverse selection of international cuisine. In the evening you can take in a show at the Gallery Cabaret, the Trap Door Theater, or Gorilla Tango Theater - all within easy walking distance of home.

The surrounding neighborhood has no shortage of dining options, from single-barrel bourbon and pork belly tacos on the outside patio at Big Star to nine-course menus at Schwa, an upscale BYOB. Or if it's nightlife you're after, try Bangers & Lace for a hunting lodge vibe or work your way through the Chop Shop's cocktail program.

And if you tire of the local scene, just take the blue line and in 30 minutes you’ll be near Navy Pier. Bucktown is a locus of Chicago’s beauty, entertainment, and culture - book now to stay in the heart of it all.

**No pets are allowed, especially cats. This includes support cats, service cats and pet cats. The owner has a severe cat allergy and any cat dander in the apartment would cause a major health threat.

This house worked well for our extended family of four couples and 2 young children. The bedrooms are small, but the beds were comfortable. It was nice having the two living areas.The location was quiet and a reasonable distance walk to restaurants, bus stops and train stations for getting into the city. I loved the courtyard garden too.

Perfect Stay!

My friends and I (a group of six) really enjoyed our stay! It was such a win that we all had our own beds, and having two full bathrooms made getting ready easy. The house had everything we needed, and even the things we usually have to buy, like coffee filters, ground coffee, filtered water, and extra toilet paper. The closet space (with hangers, iron, and ironing board) was also super handy. The central A/C was a lifesaver in the heat, and the neighborhood was peaceful at night. We were able to walk to coffee, eateries, groceries, and transit, and had no trouble getting Ubers or Lyfts. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great experience!

My immediate family rented both units of this Coach house for our Christmas celebration since we are now living all across the country.The units were just as described. They were clean and very well appointed with extra pillows and blankets, great towels, irons, hairdryers, even robes! The kitchen was well stocked, and we had everything we needed to make a few meals and Christmas treats. Location is also great. The neighborhood is very safe, parking was easy, everything we needed was close by. Going into the city proper for holiday festivities was a quick trip.The communication with the owners was also quick and Always helpful overall I would highly recommend these units!

Chicago May 2024 Trip

The Bucktown House was a great property for my party of 8 adults - we reserved both apartments and enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils, pots and pans. The neighborhood is gorgeous and very quiet. Very close to Downtown Chicago. Enjoyed walking around the neighborhood with the shaded streets and many parks in the area.

Well equipped and cozy apartment for family stay in Bucktown

Excellent property for family visit to Chicago. Jean was extremely helpful and informative. Comfy, eclectic decor and well equipped all around, particularly the kitchen. Close to great little grocery store, about half mile from Bloomingdale Trail, and 1 mile from epicenter of Damen Ave/Milwaukee Ave shopping. Easy Uber to downtown/Loop/Navy Pier.

Enjoyed our stay

Property as advertised - nice neighborhood. 15 minute walk from the blue-line. This worked out well for our family trip with adults and young adults. Wished the bedrooms had had air vents. The bathroom had excellent AC and was freezing but to cool off the bedroom we had to leave our door open for airflow. It would have been nice to have had a fan available. Huge closet in the room with the queen beds, no closet in the bedroom with twins. Nice and clean, beautiful garden area. Would have been nice to know about the free neighborhood pool/hours. Owner checked in with us about an hour before checkout - nice and friendly.

Great, safe and quiet, but close to the heart of the city

Our family of 8 people rented both units and it worked perfectly! Well stocked kitchens made it a great spot to prepare and celebrate Thanksgiving. Comfortable beds and linens. Plenty of street parking (although we accidentally parked in a crosswalk and got ticketed, so watch out for that). Great communication with host before and during our stay. Two things that are not a negative reflection on the property, but good to know are that If relying on public transport the nearest train station as far as we could tell was about a half mile away. Also, stairs are required to access the house. Would definitely rebook at Bucktown House. Thanks!
