Kildahl House - Boutique Farmhouse Suite #1

Summary:

Kildahl House is a thoughtfully restored historic farmhouse set on a hill overlooking downtown West Dundee, offering a light-filled, comfortable retreat just steps from restaurants, shops, and the Fox River.



Each reservation is for one private one-bedroom suite within the home, not the entire house. Every suite features a king bed, full kitchen, and a spacious bathroom, with soft, layered interiors designed for comfort and ease.



The Space:

Kildahl House is a fully restored historic farmhouse originally built in the early 1900s, offering a stay that blends character, comfort, and a strong sense of place. Set on a hill above downtown West Dundee, the home provides a light-filled setting with easy access to everything the area has to offer.



The property includes four private one-bedroom suites, each fully self-contained with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living space, creating a fully private apartment within the home. This allows guests to enjoy a comfortable and independent stay while still sharing the experience of the home.



Each suite is thoughtfully designed with a king bed, full kitchen with modern appliances, a spacious bathroom with elevated finishes, and a comfortable living area. Soft tones, natural light, and simple farmhouse details create a space that feels warm, relaxed, and easy to settle into.



Guests also have access to outdoor spaces, including a wraparound porch and backyard seating area, offering a place to unwind and take in the charm of the surrounding neighborhood.



Kildahl House is well suited for couples, extended stays, and guests traveling together. Guests attending events at nearby venues like The BRIX on the Fox often reserve multiple suites for a shared experience while still enjoying private accommodations.



Guest Access:

Guests have full private access to their individual suite, with secure, contactless entry for a smooth and seamless arrival. The main entrance to Kildahl House is located on Second Street, and detailed check-in instructions will be provided prior to your stay.



Free parking is available across the street in nearby municipal lots. From April through October, additional parking is available directly in front of Kildahl House.



Please note that Suites 1 and 2 are located on the first floor, while Suites 3 and 4 are located on the second floor.



The Neighborhood:

Kildahl House is located in historic downtown West Dundee, a walkable district along the Fox River that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.



You’re just steps from local restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites, including Emmett’s Brewing Co. and live music at RocHaus, as well as the scenic riverwalk and bike trails that wind through the Fox River Valley. Guests can also rent bikes nearby or bring kayaks and canoes to enjoy the river.



Set slightly above the downtown, the home offers a more residential feel while still being close to everything. It’s an easy place to settle in, with a relaxed rhythm and a strong sense of local character.



We’re also just a short drive from The BRIX on the Fox, making Kildahl House a convenient option for wedding guests. Traveling with a group? Our nearby properties, including 124 Lofts and Sinclair Suites, are all within walking distance, allowing guests to stay close while enjoying their own private spaces.



Getting Around:

Downtown Dundee is easy to explore on foot, with restaurants, coffee shops, and riverfront access just steps from the home.



For trips beyond downtown, Kildahl House offers convenient access to the surrounding area. Interstate 90 is just 3 miles away, and the nearest Metra station is within a short drive, providing easy access to Chicago. Rideshare services are readily available, along with PACE public transportation.
