Nicky's urban farm was truly an oasis and refuge in the big city. After spending the day in Chicago, to come just 6 miles away and have grass, trees, goats, and chickens, potential for a fire in a fire pit, and calm, was priceless. Nicky and her partner are super friendly and helpful. The train does come behind her property, but they are quieter and fewer at night and did not disturb us. A wonderful stay!

Great little hidden gem just outside downtown! The space is gated, peaceful, and perfect for posting up , my small tent fit like a dream. Nicole was super kind and accommodating, and the Green Line’s only a 5 minute walk (if that). Oh, and there are goats. Actual, adorable goats. Baaah. 10/10 would camp again.

A wonderful, special place. the metro and fraight lines run behind the property. The trains run on limited hours. They run very little on sun. It the city.

Fun time back at the farm with Nicky! Be aware you’re on a city block, so expect some city noises.

I took my two kiddos to Chicago in the midst of a long camping road trip. I was a little nervous because I’m not that great at camping and was solo with kids- but man this was the perfect spot. We did have to park on the street but there was plenty right in front of the farm, so that was easy and convenient. It was also super easy to navigate getting to the train to get downtown. Nicky was simply awesome offering drinks and snacks and helping us out by closing up our tent when it rained and we were out at museums. She was also just a super cool person. We felt so welcomed and the kids absolutely loved the animals and it was all around a great place to stay.

This place is amazing. The people are, too. Home farm in Chicago, goats and chickens on one side, train tracks on the other. Street parking was fine. I actually slept quite well, even with the train noise. Perhaps not for the faint of heart, but if you like adventure and cool places, this is where you need to be.

This is a super convenient spot in Chicago and Nicky is a very welcoming host. Nicky helped me out a lot when i had an issue with my car, and was very generous in letting me back out of my reservation. I’d definitely recommend this spot to a friend!

Nicky was a great host. Provided great directions and check in. Had fun hanging on the farm. Can’t ask for better access to Chicago and surrounding area if you’re able to fit.

Nicky was great. Everything was just as advertised. My son and I were passing through on our way west. Popped our tent in the back of the yard and spent the evening walking around Chicago. Train station is a super easy and seemingly safe walk, and coming back late at night, the streets were empty and quiet. Very cool and unique experience.

Nicky was a great host, her farm is small but charming. I love her goats, even though my dog had to bark at them on occasion. It’s very nice in the afternoon when the chickens run around the yard. I would highly recommend the farm if you’re in the area.
If you have a trailer or rv and don’t have many years experience backing in places, then this is not for you. Believe her when she says that occasionally street parking sometimes blocks the entrance. We were lucky and my husband is an expert so we didn’t block traffic at all. I can see why she doesn’t take trailers.
