I recently returned from a writers' residency sponsored by the house of Two Urns. Those of us in attendance had submitted a brief application stating what our writing plans were for the residency. After being accepted, we were given a stipend that covered breakfast, lunch, a full week CTA pass, and guest pass to a nearby health facility. We were... More

After reading the online reviews for the House of Two Urns, I was eager to stay in what appeared to be a charming B&B with great food! However, I just tried to reserve three nights' stay with the owner and I was denied access to her establishment because I travel with a service dog. I am blind, and my German... More

I really hesitate to write my glowing review of the Two Urns, because it will get too busy to book for my next Chicago stay. The room was cozy, comfortable and quiet. The breakfasts were excellent, the kitchen was supplied with all I needed, if I wanted to cook, the wireless connection was convenient, and the unending supply of hospitality... More

Stayed for 3 nights at house of 2 urns. Really enjoyed everything about the B+B.

Superb facilities, nice bed, quiet room in the building across the street, and every amenity... More

The rooms are fantastic, and there is a livingroom area, outdoor balcony area, kitchen area so you can cook, super cute victorian vintage style.
