Charming Downtown Farmhouse Apartment #1
Summary: Welcome to Kildahl House where 4 separate one-bedroom farmhouse apartments await! Book just 1 or all 4. Each charming suite is light, airy and tastefully decorated to provide a luxury experience. Each unit features a comfortable seating area, a large bathroom with a Carrera marble shower surround, a separate bedroom with a king-size bed and a fully equipped galley style kitchen with brand new Samsung appliances. Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. Suite #1 is on the first floor.
The Space: Kildahl House is a fully updated farmhouse that was painstakingly renovated specifically for short-term lodging guests. The simple farmhouse was built by the Kildahl family in the early 1900’s and occupies a prominent location atop a hill, looking over the downtown. Mr. J.P. Kildahl was the village’s first prominent photographer and served as a Village Trustee for 30 years, while Mrs. Louise Kildahl—active in the community—started a flower service that began almost fifty years of a beautiful tradition of bestowing flowers wherever cheer, or congratulations were in order.
In 2022, the property was completely rehabbed and renovated to offer four private one-bedroom suites that honor the original heritage of the property with clean lines, pastel color palettes, and simple farmhouse furnishings. The tonal clapboard structure with cedar shake roof offers river and downtown views, private backyard with a seating area. The wraparound porch, complete with porch swing, will take you back in time. Here you can relax, take in the sights, and enjoy the charm of our uniquely quaint downtown.
Guest Access: Entrance is on Second Street. Our remote lock system allows the convenience of a contactless check-in and check-out.
The Neighborhood: Kildahl House is centrally located in historic downtown Dundee. The entire downtown district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You’re just steps away from many great dining and nightlife options. Walk across the street to Emmett’s Brewing Co. and enjoy a bite to eat and one of their award-winning brews, or catch a live show a few doors down at the RocHaus. We are also just a 2 minute drive from "The BRIX on the Fox" wedding reception venue. Downtown Dundee also offers a pleasant river walk and the Fox River bike trail which both wind their way along the Fox River. Kildahl House is a perfect home base for exploring all that the Fox River Valley has to offer. If looking for more lodging options, check out our sister properties just steps away and right next door - 124 Lofts and Sinclair Suites.
Getting Around: Our location is conveniently located 3 miles north of Interstate 90 and 5 miles to the closest Metra Train station. Uber, Lyft, and PACE public busses are all available. We are a quick 30 minutes from Chicago's O-Hare International Airport.
Free parking is offered across the street in one of many municipal parking lots. Kildahl House offers the convenience of self-check-in with keyless entry. Kildahl House is perfect for couples, solo adventurers and business travelers.

West Dundee trip.
Great room in a great area. We've stayed in the building before and hope to again when in town visiting family and friends. There are so many fun good restaurants/bars, some with a band playing. Highly recommend one of the unis there.

Great spot, great property, great hosts.
I booked this place as a way to explore the mountain bike trails in Carpentersville, and if you are doing the same I really don't think you could find a better rental. Downtown Dundee is right there too with so many places to eat and drink. The property is super-well maintained and the hosts are very responsive if needed.

Exceeded expectations!!
We stayed here to break up a long, cross country drive. When we got here, we wished we were staying longer to continue to enjoy the place! The place was decorated with high end furnishings and was very clean. There was a swing on the front porch and a nice seating area in the backyard. The location is within walking distance to numerous bars/restaurants. Hosts had great communication and responded promptly when we had a question. The property was meticulously maintained and we would absolutely stay here again!
