Lovely space
The space is generous and relaxing. We loved the mature trees, privacy, black squirrel, frogs,…The only drawback for us was the kitchen amenities - specifically a lack of any sink, other than the bathroom sink, to clean dishes. As well, we brought our own coffee (important in our mornings) but the only pot available was a Keurig with pods. No coffee shop nearby. Otherwise it was perfectly lovely.

The location was private
I want to be fair in my review and say that the description of the property was accurate. It is what I would call a mother in law suite attached to a home with private access. Directions for arrival and access to the suite were clear and accurate. However, the suite was not clean. The mirrors were quite dirty, my slippers were covered in hair and fuzz from the unvaccumed rugs, and the caulk in the shower was covered in mold. The dishes that were provided had residue on them, which we washed with hand soap because there was no dish soap or a sponge provided. I am always careful to read reviews, and several people had commented on the cleanliness of the unit. Perhaps it has been a while since they had guests, or maybe the reviews were outdated. Regardless, while I am sure in it’s day this was a beautiful space, it is now very outdated and would benefit from a deep clean and a re-caulking of the very moldy shower.
I would not stay here again.

Be careful with the map
Lovely property as advertised but the map link ends two houses too soon and if u don’t pay attention to the house number and picture of the house you will end up at the wrong house like I did.

Quiet & peaceful
We were in town for a wedding and don’t know the Chicago area. We were looking for a safe, quiet place. We found the perfect match with this one. The area is woodsy and surrounded by nature. You would never know it was attached to the main living quarters as it was very private. The apartment was updated and very clean. It was a reasonably short drive to restaurants, shopping, and everywhere we wanted to go. The communication with the host was prompt and accurate with easy check in. We will definitely try to stay here again when returning to the area.

Private Entrance To Master Bedroom Suite
My husband and I stayed here two nights and worked well for us. The location is secluded and private yet close to easy access to the highway. There is a mini fridge/freezer, toaster and coffee maker which worked well for us to eat a light breakfast before we left for the day. The host provided clear directions on how to find the home and gain entrance to the unit. If you're looking for a place to stay as an alternative to a hotel room in the north suburbs of Chicago, this is a good option.

Lovely, peaceful spot
We very much enjoyed our stay in this quiet, beautiful accommodation as we attended various family wedding events over a long weekend. It was delightful to be among the trees of Riverwoods, and it was convenient to everything. It had everything we needed and spoiled us with a grand bath and lovely gardens. Check in and out were a breeze. Highly recommend!

Beautiful, quiet location
Loved staying here for a work related trip. The neighborhood is very quiet & clean. The backyard is well kept & I enjoyed sitting outside listening to the birds. The quarters are spacious enough for a short stay. Nice, big comfy bed, a small couch for watching tv, & a small desk if needed. The bathroom was extremely clean with a nice tub for a relaxing bubble bath & a stand up shower. There is a microwave, toaster, & mini-fridge along with a Keurig. Overall a very lovely place.

Perfect getaway
Lovely space for a quick getaway from the city. The nearby restaurants and forested areas make it a great location. The only thing I would have liked was more candles by the tub (only one out of four would light) but the tub and shower were luxurious and spotless.
