Nice for a quick visit to Wheaton College!
This is an older home that has been renovated into a cute rental. The place was clean when we arrived. The rooms were just as described in the listing. The only bathroom is upstairs. The only concern I had was that the stairs were those older home steep stairs and there were no handrails. We had our older parents with us and them going up and down made me quite nervous. It is near the train tracks, as are many places in Wheaton, so you did hear the trains coming through frequently.

Cute, clean cottage
This was a great place to stay for a short visit to Wheaton. It is very convenient to Wheaton College and downtown. Beds are comfortable and house is clean and well maintained. We appreciated the extra touches, like snacks and water bottles in the kitchen and fresh flowers on the table. Be aware that the staircases are narrow.

We Loved Our Stay!
Beautiful and cozy home! Location is centralized, safe and fantastic. This was our first visit to Wheaton, Illinois and we’re looking forward to visiting again. We were in town for a Christian conference. My husband and I stayed for three nights and enjoyed every minute of our stay. Extremely clean, comfortable, beautifully updated and lovingly decorated. Great neighborhood! We had everything that we needed. The property manager was welcoming and reached out in a timely manner with instructions for the easy to use front door lock before we arrived. We appreciated the little sign in the kitchen with house instructions that included the Wi-Fi code, etc. We felt so at home and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

Cozy House by the Tracks
This house was great for our visit to Wheaton. It was cozy, cute, clean, and well stocked. The owners let us check in early and were great to work with. I would only mention that the house is right next to train tracks so just know that you will hear them often throughout the night and sometimes feel a bit of shaking. Other than that, the house and location was perfect.

A few friends and I were in town for a show at the WC Social Club. The home is in a great area - we discovered the awesome little town of Glen Ellyn just a couples minutes up the road. The host gave us some great recommendations for local dining. Home was very clean and check-in was super easy. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!
