About this property

Kildahl House - Boutique Farmhouse Suite #4

Summary:

Kildahl House is a thoughtfully restored historic farmhouse set on a hill overlooking downtown West Dundee, offering a light-filled, comfortable retreat just steps from restaurants, shops, and the Fox River.



Each reservation is for one private one-bedroom suite within the home, not the entire house. Every suite features a king bed, full kitchen, and a spacious bathroom, with soft, layered interiors designed for comfort and ease.



The Space:

Kildahl House is a fully restored historic farmhouse originally built in the early 1900s, offering a stay that blends character, comfort, and a strong sense of place. Set on a hill above downtown West Dundee, the home provides a light-filled setting with easy access to everything the area has to offer.



The property includes four private one-bedroom suites, each fully self-contained with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living space, creating a fully private apartment within the home. This allows guests to enjoy a comfortable and independent stay while still sharing the experience of the home.



Each suite is thoughtfully designed with a king bed, full kitchen with modern appliances, a spacious bathroom with elevated finishes, and a comfortable living area. Soft tones, natural light, and simple farmhouse details create a space that feels warm, relaxed, and easy to settle into.



Guests also have access to outdoor spaces, including a wraparound porch and backyard seating area, offering a place to unwind and take in the charm of the surrounding neighborhood.



Kildahl House is well suited for couples, extended stays, and guests traveling together. Guests attending events at nearby venues like The BRIX on the Fox often reserve multiple suites for a shared experience while still enjoying private accommodations.



Guest Access:

Guests have full private access to their individual suite, with secure, contactless entry for a smooth and seamless arrival. The main entrance to Kildahl House is located on Second Street, and detailed check-in instructions will be provided prior to your stay.



Free parking is available across the street in nearby municipal lots. From April through October, additional parking is available directly in front of Kildahl House.



Please note that Suites 1 and 2 are located on the first floor, while Suites 3 and 4 are located on the second floor.



The Neighborhood:

KKildahl House is located in historic downtown West Dundee, a walkable district along the Fox River that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.



You’re just steps from local restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites, including Emmett’s Brewing Co. and live music at RocHaus, as well as the scenic riverwalk and bike trails that wind through the Fox River Valley. Guests can also rent bikes nearby or bring kayaks and canoes to enjoy the river.



Set slightly above the downtown, the home offers a more residential feel while still being close to everything. It’s an easy place to settle in, with a relaxed rhythm and a strong sense of local character.



We’re also just a short drive from The BRIX on the Fox, making Kildahl House a convenient option for wedding guests. Traveling with a group? Our nearby properties, including 124 Lofts and Sinclair Suites, are all within walking distance, allowing guests to stay close while enjoying their own private spaces.



Getting Around:

Downtown Dundee is easy to explore on foot, with restaurants, coffee shops, and riverfront access just steps from the home.



For trips beyond downtown, Kildahl House offers convenient access to the surrounding area. Interstate 90 is just 3 miles away, and the nearest Metra station is within a short drive, providing easy access to Chicago. Rideshare services are readily available, along with PACE public transportation.



Chicago O’Hare International Airport is approximately 30 minutes away.

What's old is NEW...

My wife and I planned a last-minute and much-needed getaway. To our surprise, we found this GREAT PROPERTY in our backyard! The rustic old house was remolded to a nice modern look. We are very familiar with the area and the town that this home is in, but we never knew that the town itself offered such very nice lodging, or lodging in general. There are hotels available outside of this downtown area, but you need to drive 15-30 minutes away. This property being in the middle of the downtown area is perfect. Every bit of the owners' description of their property is spot on. The place was very clean, roomy, and accommodating to our weekend getaway needs. There are plenty of spots to go eat and drink. Some good entertainment, if you are lucky like we were, the local theater was hosting a great concert celebrating great music from the 90s. All of this was within walking distance from the house. Excellent communication with the owners from start to finish. My wife and I enjoyed it so much that are looking to plan another trip there with our extended family and rent the whole house out. I highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to get away for a nice weekend or longer stay.

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Burns

Host profile image
Hi, we’re Suzanne & Andy -- best friends, parents and small business owners. We have a keen appreciation for the importance of small downtowns and the role they play in defining a sense of place. That’s why we located our business, Emmett’s Brewing Co., in downtown West Dundee and it’s also why we’ve branched out over the years and opened additional locations in other small historic downtowns nearby. We view hosting as a logical extension of our creativity and passion for hospitality. We live nearby and enjoy small town living. When we’re not busy running our businesses we enjoy working on our historic home, traveling, great food, drink and companionship.

Why they chose this property

The Neighborhood:
Kildahl House is centrally located in historic downtown Dundee. The entire downtown district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You’re just steps away from numerous dining and nightlife options. Downtown Dundee also offers a pleasant riverwalk and the Fox River bike trail which both wind their way along the Fox River. Kildahl House is a perfect home base for exploring all that the Fox River Valley has to offer.
