Giant 5BR w/ Pool Table, 15 min to Cubs & Mag Mile
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
This is a large private home in Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood, built to host bigger groups rather than a traditional hotel stay. With multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a pool table, and expansive living and dining areas, it's designed for families, friend groups, and travelers coordinating a trip together. The setting is residential and low-key, a home base rather than a downtown high-rise.
Rooms & Recreation
The home sleeps a large group comfortably across several bedrooms, with smart TVs in nearly every room so guests can spread out and unwind separately or together. A pool table anchors a dedicated recreation space, and a crib is available for traveling families with infants. Air conditioning and heating are provided throughout for year-round comfort.
Kitchen & Practical Amenities
The fully-equipped kitchen includes an oven, stove, and microwave, making it easy to cook full meals for a large group instead of relying on restaurants for every stop. An in-unit washer, ironing board, and free Wi-Fi round out the practical amenities, and the home is smoke-free throughout. Cable TV is available alongside the Wi-Fi for entertainment.
Location & Surroundings
The home sits just 799m from the Irving Park subway stop and 865m from the Irving Park train station, with a bus stop (Montrose & Hamlin) only 389m away, making it easy to reach downtown Chicago, Wrigley Field, and other attractions in roughly 15-25 minutes by rideshare. A cluster of diverse dining options -- Mexican, Northern Italian, Colombian, Peruvian, Argentinian, and North African restaurants -- sit within a 10-minute walk. Both O'Hare (about 15.5km) and Midway (about 19.2km) airports are within reasonable driving distance.
Best for
This property is best suited to large families, multi-generational groups, or groups of friends traveling together for a Cubs game, concert, or Chicago getaway, given its multiple bedrooms/bathrooms, pool table, and multiple TVs. Its full kitchen, washer, and crib also make it a practical option for families needing to self-cater and manage longer stays with young children.
Travel tips
Rideshare is the most convenient way to reach Wrigley Field, Downtown, The Bean, Soldier Field, United Center, and the Riverwalk, with most of these roughly 15-25 minutes away. The Irving Park subway and train stations, plus the Montrose & Hamlin bus stop, are all within about 800m, giving car-free guests reasonable public transit options too. Budget extra time for airport transfers, since both O'Hare and Midway are more than 15km away.
What guests say
