- "We had a very nice time at this house. It was very clean and the yard and deck were lovely. It is small, but fine for the two of us and even our teenage son for a night before and after we dropped him off for camp. Needs a couple more chairs in the living room, but other than that it was great. The location right near the train into Chicago was perfect for us. " - "This is a great cottage if you have ever been curious about staying in a tiny home. This one is on the larger side with a full kitchen and spacious living room. While you get to experience the spiral staircase and short lofted master bedroom with the ceiling being about 5 1/2ft at its peak. The backyard is great to relax, with many seating areas; the deck or by the river on the glider."
