Ashlee was here to greet me when I arrived, and you can see immediately she loves her job. The outside is misleading because it is large, well laid out and thoughtful. The owner has put so much thought into the decor you will be amazed. Breakfast is cooked to order, and 5 star quality. I would like to note they have made 1 garage allotment that will fit a suburban size vehicle. But there is ample street parking and other garages for smaller vehicles. You will see the extra touches and will put this on the list of a must stay when you are in Chicago.

We stayed at Ray’s while visiting Chicago for a concert at The Salt Shed. We’re so happy we took a chance and booked this room! The area is cute, street parking was relatively easy, the room was fun and the whole vibe was very unique and eclectic. There are so many fun accents all over the place. Breakfast was easy and very good! We will be back!

Exceptional value
Our family loved our time at Ray's. Our boys slept in the bunk-bed lofts. Great location in a cool neighborhood in the heart of the city. Close to the free parking lot for Cubs games. Incredible breakfast and hospitable customer service. Thanks, awesome hosts!

What isn’t to love about Ray’s?! The staff were friendly and welcoming, the breakfasts were delicious, and the room was cozy and comfortable. Not to mention, close to transportation and the area is safe and walkable. I’ve found my go-to place to stay whenever I visit Chicago in the future!

Quite little place well worth the stay
A cute little bed and breakfast in Bucktown, only about a mile walk from anything you could need. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The Cardinal room was great, private bathroom, comfortable beds, and more wonderful artwork. The cooked to order breakfast was some of the best home cooking I've had, and the sauna and steam rooms in the basement were a cherry on top!
Standing in the cardinal room.
Delicious mixed berry pancakes.
Just some of the quirky art scattered around the beautiful interior.

Definitely stay again
We arrived late and picked up all the info and keys we needed inside. We had been told how to enter and where to park. We had our own garage space with an opener and no extra charge. The room was clean and the beds were great. The shower was wonderful, too. The room was a little too cold, but after contacting the desk, we found that the control was outside the room. We only ate one breakfast, because we had to leave the house before 7 most days. The breakfast was great, a lot of choices. When we came in at night there was always a plate of snacks available and there were plenty of waters available. One of the best things was that when we told Kat that we had to leave early on the last day to catch our plane. she prepare to go breakfast bags for each of us, that made it through TSA with no problems. We would definitely stay again, but would like to try another room as it appeared that each room was as different as the decorations in the whole house.
