hicago is not only the Windy City but it is home to many architectural wonders. In a
suburb north of the city there is a wonderful community called Evanston which is very rich in historic and architecturally beautiful homes. The community offers hundreds of individually designed homes from years gone by, some are magnificent mansions and all are well appointed and just simply lovely.
Set amongst the grandeur is The Stone Porch by the Lake B&B, which is a beautifully restored English Tudor mansion that pays tribute to the late 1800s architecture. Luckily its fate was to be lovingly restored in the recent years. It offers five-star accommodations in all five of its beautiful suites. The attention to detail is astounding from the keyless entry to the designer decor, bed linens, luxurious towels and accoutrements. No one could've imagined this kind of WOW on the north side of Chicago. Well let me tell you the Stone Porch Inn by the Lake has arrived!

Come down the winding staircase for breakfast, it is included with your stay and as they say “They aim to please.” Enjoy coffee in the living room before or after, there is no rush, you’ll want to enjoy every minute and slow-mo is the perfect speed here.
