Brazeals in Bucktown

Wonderful new discovery for us. We were in Chicago to visit our son who lives in Wicker Park and discovered this fabulously funky B&B in Bucktown. It will DEFINITELY be our go to place to stay for future visits. Staff so friendly, everything about our stay was great, visiting with fellow guests over breakfast (pancakes or French Toast, which to choose, too hard, have both!) - just altogether wonderful.

Perfect Getaway

My best friend and I had a little weekend getaway this past weekend for a concert and Rays was the perfect place to book! Rays was so well kept and the ladies that run it did an excellent job with welcoming us and making us feel at home. The room we stayed in was spacious for 2 people with an amazing access to the private patio area and it was beautiful and quiet. I would highly recommend Rays to anyone in or out of Chicago!

Ray's Bucktown Bed and Breakfast is widely celebrated for its eclectic and warm atmosphere, making guests feel at home amidst its unique decor. It definitely feels like you're staying with family, along with a vast array of things to do while "at home" with them (you can do laundry, use the steam/sauna, play some board games, read the newspaper, soak up the sun's rays/watch the stars at night on their upper deck,etc.) along with the many amenities that it provides. The warm hospitality that Ashlee & Kat provided was out of this world - and you know that first impressions last! I appreciated every single interaction I had with them, despite being my first time staying at the humble abode - in addition, to just being my second time in Chicago! Having stayed with them definitely changed my perspective on hotels & motels, and I highly recommend Ray's Bucktown B&B to those who need a comfortable, no-frills, & home-y place to stay!

Amazing property! Cooked to order breakfast, staff off the charts hospitable and friendly. The whole feel of the space is inviting and calm. My room was a cozy little respite from the city, though in a walkable neighborhood. It was home away from home. Definitely want to return.
