Zoo Holiday Retreat beautiful home with parking, near train into Chicago.

Welcome to Zoo Holiday Retreat
Relax and unwind in our quiet, comfortable 4-bedroom home — perfect for families or groups. The house features two full bathrooms, including a brand-new first-floor bath, and a newly renovated kitchen. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook comfortably. It features brand-new appliances, including a Keurig coffee maker, a Hamilton Beach kettle (perfect for tea or pour-over coffee), a microwave, and an air fryer toaster oven combo.

The home includes four comfortable bedrooms and sleeps 8: two private rooms each with a queen bed, one room with two full beds, and one bedroom with a bunk bed — perfect for kids or additional guests. Please note that the upstairs bedrooms with the two full beds and bunk bed have a doorway without a door separating the sleeping areas.

For guests traveling with young children, we’re happy to provide baby accessories such as a playpen, high chair, and more upon request.

Step outside to a fully fenced yard with a patio, grill, and outdoor seating — ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Located just half a block from the forest preserve and the Brookfield Zoo property, you’ll have easy access to Salt Creek for canoeing and kayaking. A few blocks away, a paved trail runs alongside the creek and connects to several scenic forest preserves — perfect for biking, walking, or jogging.

Getting into Chicago is simple: the Metra (Burlington Northern line) is less than a mile away and takes you downtown in about 20 minutes. Prefer the “L”? A quick 10-minute drive gets you to the Des Plaines Blue Line station for easy city access. House is uniquely positioned 15 minutes from Midway and 25 minutes from O"Hare Airport.

When you're ready to dine out, downtown Brookfield is less than a mile away and offers a great mix of bars and family-friendly restaurants- and there’s a martini bar just two blocks away from the house. Nearby La Grange also boasts a vibrant dining and shopping scene.

Excellent location, right by the zoo, the place is well stocked and clean, in a nice neighborhood. Close to attractions and easy to go to other western suburbs of Chicago. Has everything we needed :). The host was great with communicating and was able to allow us to borrow a pack n play as well. Would stay again!

Comfortable stay outside Chicago

We had a comfortable two-night stay in this house outside Chicago next to the Brookfield Zoo. We spent most of our time in Chicago visiting sites, taking tours, shopping, and visiting museums. We came to this house in the evening and had plenty of room to relax in the living room watching TV and playing some games on the Nintendo Switch we brought along. The dining room table is large and seated everyone and another large table in the kitchen was used for breakfast.We spread out into all four bedrooms (7 people total in my family, 6 adult-size and one child-size) and were comfortable. We appreciated the washer dryer in the basement to get some clean clothes. We didn't do any cooking during our stay but the kitchen had available pots and pans.Overall it was a good stay. The host was very responsive to questions and helpful before and during our stay.
