Exceptional Chicago Vacation Rentals

Why rent a vacation home in Chicago, IL

The City of Big Shoulders needs no introduction: towering skyscrapers, incredible architecture, world-famous shopping, dining, and entertainment, fantastic festivals, unparalleled museums, a sports culture envied the world-over -- you know why you’re here. If you are planning a trip to the Windy City, consider renting a vacation home. Vacation rentals offer numerous advantages over traditional hotel accommodation, particularly for those traveling as a group. Families and groups will appreciate the extra space you’ll have in more vacation rentals, whether they’re spending quality time together in the living room or preparing shared meals in the full kitchen. Renting a vacation home can also make for a more authentic experience, and allows you to get to know Chicago’s fantastic and varied neighborhoods: you might soon feel like you’re a resident of West Town or Lincoln Park too. And when you stay in a TurnKey Chicago rental, you don’t have to fret losing out on your favorite hotel perks: each and every one of our homes includes free WiFi, a starter set of toiletries, hotel-grade towels and linens, is professionally cleaned prior to your arrival, and 24/7 support from our local Chicago team. It’s the best of both worlds.

Here are some things you can look forward to during your stay in a Chicago vacation rental:

• Navy PierNavy Pier is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Chicago, and has a rich history of playing an important role in the city. Originally built as a home for passenger and freight docks in 1916, the pier went on to serve as a location for housing soldiers during World War 1. Today, it’s an iconic landmark with a ferris wheel, an IMAX theatre, dining options, events spaces, and a convention center.
• Architecture Boat ToursWhile most people will say the best architectural experience in Chicago is standing in the overhanging glass boxes at the top of Willis Tower, we suggest you consider hopping on an architecture boat tour. Most boat tours depart from the Michigan Avenue bridge in the heart of downtown, and take passengers on an engaging tour of the history and stories behind the city’s most iconic landmarks and buildings.
• Music and ComedyFestivals like Lollapalooza and Pitchfork draw thousands of visitors to the city every summer. Typically taking place in the beautiful parks around Chicago, festivals are a great way to catch many of your favorite bands in one place. If you love music but not crowds, consider visiting world-class venues like Green Mill for jazz or The Chicago Theatre. For laughs, buy tickets to see one of the hilarious comedy troupes at The Second City, famous for training and showcasing some of today’s most prominent comedians.
• Dining and ShoppingThe Chicago restaurant scene is a food lover’s dream. The ever evolving landscape offers every type of cuisine your heart could desire, from juicy steaks to class hot dogs (no ketchup allowed!). Whichever area you stay, be that downtown or a neighborhood, there’s bound to be an amazing restaurant near you. There’s also a plethora of shopping in Chicago. Window shop designer luxuries along Michigan Avenue (also known as the Mag Mile), or peruse designer and local boutiques in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and Wicker Park.
• MuseumsChicago is home to some of the most famous artwork and artifacts in the world. Spend hours getting lost in the art at The Art Institute, explore through history at The Field Museum of Natural History, or go underwater at the Shedd Aquarium.
