Very good place to relax. Thank you. If you have senior citizens( no problem with young people) may be slightly difficult to climb front door stairs due to uneven height of stairs. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay here.

Beautiful old craftsman home that we thoroughly enjoyed. Our kids loved the game room. The beds were very comfortable. The only down side were trains going through Elgin at 5am. The host provided white noise machines which was a lovely touch but it doesn’t help much with the train horns. Other than that we loved the home!

Elgin Wedding Weekend

Caleb’s home was a fantastic place to stay for a family wedding weekend in Elgin. The home was comfortable, clean, convenient to everything that downtown Elgin has to offer and made our time in the area that much more wonderful. We’ll certainly look to stay again the next time there’s a gathering in the area.

Love this place! Our daughter plays basketball at a local college that is close by. We love this house, it’s a perfect set up for the team. The game room in the basement is great for college kids.

Perfect home for our whole family

Was in town for a family event as a family group of 8….it was perfectly spacious for our entire group! Clean and had everything to make you feel right at home, including a great little game room equipped with a pool table, dartboard and other games. Host was very responsive and helpful everytime I reached out. Highly recommend if you need a place to stay, you check out Caleb’s place!

Comfortable and clean

The house was clean and felt very homey. The only downfall is that it is right across from the railroad tracks and several trains go by throughout the night.

Family Getaway

This house was perfect for our little group to all be together as we celebrated a family wedding in Elgin. A nice cozy spot to relax after navigating the recent snowfall in the area! Beautifully decorated, adhering nicely to the historical lines of this home. The only blip (as another reviewer mentioned) was that the front steps were a little challenging at times.

Great stay!

The property lined up with the listed images and was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and utensils, there were extra towels and blankets available as well. The home is very spacious with lots of room both on lounge chairs as well as tables for eating. The host was responsive with any messages or questions we had. Highly recommend!

Good place for a couple nights

The place was really nice and charming. All of my guests had a good time and everything I needed was there. Some features of the interior could use some general maintenance or replacement (drawers, vents, light switches, etc — small details like that that could eventually inconvenience you in some way), as it was impossible to tell if some things were already like that or if it was us who left it like that. The house has a cool vibe to it, old architecture style, décor, and very cozy. The host has taken great care of providing us with anything we would need - earplugs, sheets, plates, you name it. The neighborhood is a little sketch but everything went well during our stay! Caleb has been a very accommodating host, and even though I have not tried contacting him through his phone, it has been a bit challenging to do so here on Vrbo.

Nice older home, Plenty of space

Nice property, big rooms. As noted in earlier reviews there are some steep steps so if mobility is a problem this might not be for you. 2 block walk from the downtown area where families were biking and playing so neighborhood seemed safe after we were initially unsure. Lots of good restaurants close. The parking spot is tight so if you have a large vehicle you may have to park in the street but there was ample of that. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Host is great and will respond to your questions quickly. There is a train that goes by at night but white noise machines help a lot with that. We will defiantly stay again if in the area.

We had a great time during our stay! The house was clean, comfortable, and made for a fun getaway with friends. We especially enjoyed the game and movie nights—it was a perfect space to relax and hang out.That said, there were a few maintenance issues worth noting:The king bed upstairs had bent supports, which made us a little nervous, though it held up fine during our stay.There’s a cracked window on the patio near the living room and a large crack in the wall going upstairs.A small hole in the floor by the dining room desk and a stuck yellow lock on the back door (by the trash bins) also stood out.Some of the board games had mixed-up pieces, though we took the time to sort a few of them.None of these issues took away from the overall experience—we still had a fantastic time and would definitely consider staying here again!
