About this property

Charming Victorian Farm house with large eat in kitchen in Historic Glen Ellyn.

  • The Davis House has been embracing Guests for the past 15 years. It is a perfect place for families to stay. The kitchen after all is the Heart of the home and famalies have loved the French farm table for gatherings as well as the 3 oven LaCanche stove.
    It is located in beautiful Glen Ellyn, known for its quaint down town and Vintage Homes, parks and tree lined streets. USA Today selected Glen Ellyn as the Picturesque Town of Illinois because of this. The Davis House is located on a very quiet cul-de-sac. Set back from Davis Terrace, its front garden adds to the grandeur of this beautiful home. Steps from Babcock Grove Park as well as Lake Ellyn Park. For young children these are just a few of the options. Also for children and adults The Perry Mastadon that was discovered in Glen Ellyn in 1963 is on display at Wheaton College, just a few miles away. If you are looking to get away from it all....this is it.

    The home has many original features and has all hardwood floors on the main level. In the family room you will find the fireplace and large Plasma TV with surround sound. The home is nestled amongst large trees and beautiful gardens...truly a wonderful place to call home while visiting Historic Glen Ellyn and neighboring towns as well as Chicago and all that it has to offer. With our Metra station with in a 10 minute walk down town Chicago can be reached from there as quickly as 30 minutes!!!
    Please note: Per Glen Ellyn Village ordinace, family use only. No large gatherings or events.

Great House!

The Davis House is wonderful—large, spacious—and just as described in the listing. It really is fully equipped with just about anything one would need. Beds are comfortable, water pressure is great and the laundry room on the second floor is terrific. William is a gracious owner and answered all our questions promptly. He was a pleasure to work with and it was a pleasure to stay here. We will definitely be back.

Comfortable accomodations

The house was beautiful and well maintained. Very comfortable interior with an equally private patio and yard. Fantastic character inside and out. The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained and within walking distance to Main Street. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a relaxing getaway in a historic setting.

Just. Stunning.

We visited family in Glen Ellyn and adored the Davis House! William was a pleasure to work with, and the small dog decorations made us feel right at home with our 3 pugs and Lhasa apso. Outdoor fountain, jetted tub, wonderfully mature neighborhood, oh and the sun room right off the master bedroom. Thanks SO much for a stay that exceeded all expectations!

Wonderful Davis House

My senior citizen cousins and I stayed at the Davis house for three nights. It was LOVELY! The architecture, furnishings and amenities were even nicer than listed in the ad. The price was great, as well. William was very communicative and even left us a couple of welcome gifts. Best VRBO stay EVER! Thank you for sharing your home.

Wonderful Property and Host!

Family gathering to visit oldest son who lives in Chicago-land area. This was the perfect property for all of us (5 adults) to gather. A home with plenty of room and an abundance of charm! The neighborhood is fabulous. Quiet, peaceful and very clean. Just a few short minutes to the train into Chicago. Downtown Glen Ellyn is also very nice with some great restaurants! Book this property for your next visit to the area - it will not disappoint. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home, William!

Graduation

Amazing home. More stunning than pictures. Lots of places to gather as a group or have solitude. Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Neighborhood quiet and walkable. Enjoyed outdoor dining on deck, quiet porch swing mornings, happy hour toasting in the sunroom, playing the grand piano, and cozing up in the living room for a movie. 5 adult family members gathering for graduation from a graduate program at Midwestern University.. Highly recommend!

Perfect family home with beautiful views and charm!

We wanted to extend our heartfelt thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was the perfect place for our family to celebrate our oldest daughter's graduation. Every detail of your home added something special to the occasion—from the stunning garden to the lovely piano, which made a wonderful backdrop for entertainment and photos.Our children, ranging from ages 3 to 18, kept saying how much they wanted to stay longer. Our youngest even said, “Mommy, I just love our new home.” That says it all! Your effort in preserving the original charm of the home is so evident and deeply appreciated.We truly loved every moment and hope to return again someday.

Wow! What a gem!

This property was a delight from beginning to end. It is way bigger than it looks in the pics, the beds are SO comfortable, and it is in a beautiful neighborhood walkable to a little downtown area. The kids loved exploring the beautiful yard. The kitchen was stocked like someone actually lives and cooks there, none of the sparse beat up equipment you often find in other rentals. My only caution is to make sure everyone in your party is steady on their feet. The stairs are quite steep and narrow, in the way that antique stairs are. We would love to stay again when in the area!
