Company information

We opened in 2015. We are a small business with a mighty crew. We want to create a cozy, comfy, homey feel while you stay with us so please let us know what we can do to make your stay better. And yes our made to order breakfasts really are that good! Who wants to stay at a stuffy, bland hotel??? Check out all of our funky collectibles, have a snack and hang out. Did you know we are 420 friendly.. because we are. Enjoy our roof top deck for those types of treats.

Property information

We are not your parents bed and breakfast! We are quirky, funky, and a little home away from home. If you are a minimalist we are not the space for you. Not only will you love our cooked to order breakfast but you will get a kick out of wandering around and finding all the collectables throughout the buildings. We look forward to hosting you soon... give us a call, we are here to help!

Neighbourhood information

Bucktown is an awesome neighborhood. Tons of bars, restaurants and shops all within walking distance. We have the 606 trail just a few blocks south of us. The Western Blue line is a 15 minute walk from our door. Depending on where you want to go down town the Western Blue line takes you to the loop in about 12 minutes!
