Quite little place well worth the stay
A cute little bed and breakfast in Bucktown, only about a mile walk from anything you could need. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The Cardinal room was great, private bathroom, comfortable beds, and more wonderful artwork. The cooked to order breakfast was some of the best home cooking I've had, and the sauna and steam rooms in the basement were a cherry on top!
Standing in the cardinal room.
Delicious mixed berry pancakes.
Just some of the quirky art scattered around the beautiful interior.

Definitely stay again
We arrived late and picked up all the info and keys we needed inside. We had been told how to enter and where to park. We had our own garage space with an opener and no extra charge. The room was clean and the beds were great. The shower was wonderful, too. The room was a little too cold, but after contacting the desk, we found that the control was outside the room. We only ate one breakfast, because we had to leave the house before 7 most days. The breakfast was great, a lot of choices. When we came in at night there was always a plate of snacks available and there were plenty of waters available. One of the best things was that when we told Kat that we had to leave early on the last day to catch our plane. she prepare to go breakfast bags for each of us, that made it through TSA with no problems. We would definitely stay again, but would like to try another room as it appeared that each room was as different as the decorations in the whole house.

Friendly and helpful staff. They offer a relaxed vibe by offering snacks set out round the clock, lots of nooks for cozy seating to read or watch tv. Outdoor patio to enjoy summer nights. Breakfast was delicious! Well done!

We loved our stay! Easy to find and check in, very clean, staff was amazingly helpful, and the breakfast was more than expected. The place has a lot of warmth and charm. Perfect if you want to live like a local and be able to walk to your dining and pubs. We’d definitely stay here again.

What a gem! Beautiful neighborhood, close to restaurants, shopping and the surrounding area is so pretty. The place itself is so warm, quirky and set up so well! We got a garage spot to park which was bonus! The cooked to order breakfast was delicious and the staff were so friendly! Communication was excellent and check in was super smooth. Highly recommend Ray’s Bucktown B & B!

Charming alternative to downtown hotels
This is an interesting alternative to the downtown hotels, with tons more character and charm but somewhat less comfort and convenience. It's in a very nice residential neighborhood, only about 1/2 mile from the train to town (and O'Hare Airport), but not much in the way of commercial activity nearby. The place itself is eccentric and quirky but within that the staff is extremely helpful and kind, and the breakfast was simply spectacular. They work very hard to make guests comfortable and provide abundant food -- snacks at all times, coffee any time, etc. The room was perfectly comfortable, quiet and well-equipped.
