Train Conductor Cottage Stay

The cottage was very quaint and provided my husband and I a great place to lay our heads after a full day of fun with my son and his family who live in Batavia. I loved all of the beautiful glass blocks and the cottage has plenty of amenities.

Wonderful Stay

You cannot go wrong with this cozy little cottage. Jeff and his wife literally thought of everything you might need. Jeff even put up a Christmas tree for us. This worked out so well as we had our 1 year granddaughter with us so my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter stayed in the basement which provided them plenty of space and privacy. We played games, cooked some meals and were able to enjoy each other’s company. Shopping and any extra necessities are nearby as our plenty of restaurants. We highly recommend the cottage for anyone looking to feel like they are in a home away from home for their next stay. Five star rating across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Beaird

After raising our family in this house, we renovated it for a vacation rental and with family help bought a bigger house for our family. We named this house after the train conductor we used to talk with as he walked back and forth to and from work every day at the local Metra train. We love this house and neighborhood and know you will too! Embedded in historic and friendly West Chicago with its easy access to favorite Mexican restaurants and the train to Chicago, this house is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your stay in Illinois.

Why they chose this property

Newly renovated with all new paint, floors, kitchen, beds, furniture and updated bathrooms, this is a comfortable home with minimal design style and peaceful decor, filled with light and beautiful gardens outside.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to the Metra train, area Mexican restaurants, Ball Seed Company gardens and four seasons Illinois weather. Beautiful garden in the yard and peaceful neighborhood on a quiet street.
