Guest rating: 4.0 / 5
Overview
Mayors Manor is a large, Chicago-themed vacation home designed for groups, with space advertised for 8–14 guests. The home leans into local history decor (including skyline and prohibition-era/mobster imagery) and is hosted with a 24/7 dedicated/concierge-style support team. It is smoke-free indoors and offers air conditioning, a full kitchen, and an ironing board for everyday comfort.
Sleep setup & indoor spaces
Sleeping is spread across multiple rooms, including two queen-bed suites, a junior suite with three single beds (bunk beds plus a trundle), and a movie room configured with futons and extra beds for flexible overflow. The living room features a projector and includes a dedicated workspace with a desk and comfortable chair. There is also a bar area with a TV for game-watching and group hangouts, plus a private laundry room.
Kitchen & group dining
The bright, fully stocked kitchen is set up for family-style meals with seating for up to eight at the dining table. Cooking and serving basics are provided (e.g., pots and pans, toaster, cutlery, coffee maker, bowls), and kid-friendly cups and silverware are noted. An outdoor deck with a grill extends the dining and gathering space into the backyard.
Outdoor amenities: deck, hot tub & sauna
Outside, the home emphasizes a “zen garden oasis” feel with a backyard patio setup, hot tub, and sauna, plus an elevated deck suitable for gatherings. A key operational note: the hot tub does not heat when outdoor temperatures are below 45°F. Propane for the BBQ grill is available upon request, and the sauna is operated per provided instructions (including adding water/heating guidance).
Location & area access
The listing places the home in Chicago with provided drive-distance points of interest including McCormick Place (2.4 mi), Soldier Field (3.6 mi), Wintrust Arena (2.3 mi), Sox Stadium (1.7 mi), Radius (1.4 mi), Chinatown (1.6 mi), and beaches such as 31st Street Beach (2.7 mi) and Oakwood Beach (3.8 mi).

Best for
This home suits larger groups—multi-family trips, friend getaways, and game/event weekends—thanks to its 8–14 guest capacity, multiple sleeping zones, bar area with TV, and movie room with projector and foosball. It also works well for guests who want at-home recreation (hot tub/sauna, deck, grill) while still being within a few miles of McCormick Place, Soldier Field, and other Chicago venues.

If a heated soak is a priority, plan around the operating note that the hot tub does not heat when temperatures fall below 45°F. For event-driven trips, the provided distances can help with planning: McCormick Place (2.4 mi), Wintrust Arena (2.3 mi), Soldier Field (3.6 mi), and Sox Stadium (1.7 mi). Parking includes a 2-car garage, and a 7-passenger SUV rental may be available to pair with the stay (by inquiry/availability).
