Pool Table! Pet-Friendly Haven 6 Mi to Rate Field
Overview
This is a two-story vacation rental home in the South Side neighborhood of South Chicago, designed for groups who want to stay connected both indoors and out. The property (listing R25000132686) features two furnished living areas, including a den-style social lounge with a pool table, making it a hub for group gatherings rather than a traditional hotel room. It's pet-friendly, smoke-free, and equipped for extended stays with full home comforts.
Home Features & Amenities
Guests have access to four Smart TVs, board games and books, a 6-person dining area, and a washer and dryer for laundry needs. A full kitchen includes a microwave, stove/oven, refrigerator, cooking basics, dishware, flatware, and a Keurig coffee maker with coffee provided. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a spacious backyard, patio, fireplace, and outdoor grill for entertaining.
Layout & Accessibility
The home spans two stories with 8 steps required to enter, and notably has 2 bedrooms located on the first floor for those who prefer to avoid stairs to their sleeping quarters. Free street parking is available for up to 2 vehicles on a first-come, first-served basis.
Location
Set in a quiet South Side Chicago neighborhood near dining and transit, the home is about 1 mile from the Red Line, 3 miles from The University of Chicago, and 4 miles from Jackson Park and the Griffin Museum of Science & Industry. Sports fans will appreciate being just 6 miles from Guaranteed Rate Field, while downtown Chicago attractions like Millennium Park, Navy Pier, and Skydeck Chicago sit roughly 10-11 miles away. The Shedd Aquarium is about 9 miles out, and Montrose Beach is a farther 17-mile trip.
Policies
The property allows pets (dogs only, max 2) for a $50 fee plus applicable taxes, but does not permit smoking, events, parties, or large gatherings. Quiet hours run from 8:00 PM to 8:00 AM, and a photo ID may be required at check-in. An exterior Ring doorbell camera covers the front entrance for security.
Best for
This home suits groups and families traveling together who want shared social space, citing the pool table, two living areas, and 6-person dining area as gathering points. It's also a strong fit for pet owners thanks to its pet-friendly policy, and for White Sox fans given its 6-mile proximity to Guaranteed Rate Field.
Travel tips
The Red Line is about 1 mile away, offering a transit option into downtown Chicago, which is roughly 10 miles from the property. Since parking is free street parking limited to 2 vehicles on a first-come, first-served basis, arriving groups should plan accordingly, especially during evening hours. Quiet hours from 8 PM to 8 AM are enforced, so plan any group activities or arrivals with that in mind.
