Head downstairs, grab a putter — the basement has a six-hole course. Yes, really. Cool in the summer, cozy in the winter — open whenever you're checked in.
“The house was so much fun and allowed everyone to have something to do. Very spacious and clean. …We extended our stay one additional night because we were having such a great time…”Julrene · Richton Park, Illinois
“We had a great stay! So close to the beach! We went twice! Easy to sit and enjoy the breeze on the screened patio. The children had a great time playing putt putt and playing the old arcade games. We will definitely be back when we are in town again.”Victoria · Houston, Texas
Yes — six holes with real turf, putters and balls in a basket, and lighting made for play. The basement is on its own AC and heat zone, so it stays cool in August and warm in February. Open whenever you're checked in, whatever the weather is doing.
About 18 miles from the Loop — 30 minutes most days, straight up the Skyway. Whiting is the first town across the Indiana line, so you get a Chicago trip at Indiana prices.
Check-in is 4 PM. Check-out is 10 AM.
Yes — Whihala Beach on Lake Michigan is about a ten-minute walk, with WhoaZone, the inflatable water park, right offshore in summer. The restaurants and shops on 119th Street are even closer.
Three bedrooms — two kings and a full — plus a fold-down sofa, an air mattress, and two cots when you need the flex. A common pattern: grandparents take one king, parents take the other, and the kids claim the basement.
The basement is basically a kids' wing — mini golf, arcade, a TV they can call theirs. We keep a pack & play and a high chair on hand at no charge — just tell us ages when you book.
Case by case — just disclose them when you book and we'll sort out the small pet fee.
No. We keep The Fun House for the group that books it — no parties or events of any kind. It's a quiet residential block, and that's part of why guests love it.

Thirty minutes from downtown Chicago. Book direct — no platform fees, answers in minutes.
