Convenient, affordable, and luxurious are just a few words I would use to describe Sally Baker's Gold Coast Guest House. During our stay, we were delighted by all the little (and much appreciated) details the guest house had to offer. Upon our arrival we found our room to be very clean and had fantastically comfortable bedding. The private bathroom had... More

My spouse and I just returned from a long weekend in Chicago, and are already looking forward to our next trip. This B&B charmed us completely, providing all the comforts of home and then some. The kitchen was stocked with "continental breakfast" items--foodstuffs which enabled us to start each day with a healthy breakfast, with some added indulgences. The location... More

We stayed at the Gold Coast in December of last year, as part of a trip to catch up with old friends that we hadn;t seen in a while. The Gold Coast was recommended by some old friends, and what an excellent recommendation it was! Our room was very nicely appinted, cozy, and serene.... a nice antidote from some rather... More

It has a spiral staircase, parquet floors, and... More

My husband surprised me with a weekend here for my birthday. We live in the suburbs but like to play tourist in Chicago from time to time.

Go over to Michigan Avenue, Old Town, Rush Street, and Lincoln Park. The B&B was wonderful with it's own private bath, great simple but satisfying breakfast. Nothing complicated, so you could...

Sally or one of the staff of women from the Christian college across the street greet you and make sure you are comfortable. This 5 room B & B is in a brownstone midblock in a quiet neighborhood near restaurants, shopping, tourism sites and the lake. A very pleasant living room walks out to the garden and the breakfast area... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Gold Cost Guest House for my birthday weekend and enjoyed everything about it. Great, great location a short walk away from everything in downtown Chicago. The El train is steps away if you feel like venturing out further to discover other neighbourhoods. Sally is a gracious host with lots of tips and suggestions... More
