We stayed here for boot camp PIR. It was a perfect alternative to hotels as we were there during frigid weather and going out was not really ideal. Cozy and comfortable. Wish we had the opportunity to explore Libertyville as it looked like a cute downtown which is so convenient to this home. Beds are comfortable and kitchen has all the necessities.

The owner was very attentive. It's a great location for attending Naval bootcamp graduation. There are many grocery stores, restaurants, and opportunities for shopping immediately nearby, but also convenient to downtown Chicago attractions.

We were very satisfied with everything! Had everything we needed to our convenience. We thank you for hosting our family on our trip to my sons Naval bootcamp graduation. Would definitely return and recommend.

If you are looking for a place to stay for the Naval graduation this is it. We stayed for my sons graduation. It is about 15 minutes away from the base, it made it easy to go back and forth. There is plenty of places to eat and grocery stores. It has everything you will need to shower, wash close, cook and wine down and relax. The beds are very comfortable, it was 6 of us. We felt safe, and even though it looks older on the outside of the house the inside is very spacious and modern. The host really took care of us and met every accommodation.

This was a perfect stay for my family of 5 attending my grandson's graduation at Great Lakes. Home can comfortably sleep up to 9 guests. Closely located to shopping and Great Lakes. Neighborhood was quiet, but being it was February, too cold to be disruptive. Very convenient to major highways. The house was so clean and owners were very responsive if we had questions. Would highly recommend this location!!!

Good apartment stay for what we needed. Plenty of shops around with restaurants. Comfy furniture with stocked kitchen. Naval Recruit Training Command is 15 minutes away which is a plus. The only thing, is you will hear the neighbors loud footsteps from time to time if they decide to stomp or have kids running inside. Other than that, warm place that kept a pleasant temperature during winter.

We rented this space for my Sailors graduation. This appears to have been a duplex at some point so the top floor is a completely separate apartment… which ended up being great for our Sailor who hasn’t had privacy in 2.5 months! Close to downtown, which is cute and lively! We felt completely comfy and relaxed. Even our husky did great there! My son sure was surprised by getting to spend time with his dog! Thank you!

We stayed here for 5 days for our son's navy graduation. This home was clean, cozy and just what we wanted. Something not too big but just enough room for us to feel at home and enjoy our quality time with our Sailor. It was especially helpful that the walk way was shoveled and salt was down since there was snow. This home was 20 mins to the base, close to everything. We are already planning our trip back after our son finishes up his A School. This home will be at the top of the list of places to stay. Thanks for sharing your property. We can tell a lot of love has been shared within those walls.

The location was perfect as our daughter and her husband are stationed at Great Lakes Naval base. The city of Libertyville is very family friendly, and we would definitely recommend this place to others! The house was very clean with a lot of space for everyone.
