The Homestead 1854 is a true gem. I have been photographing weddings in the Chicagoland area for over 10 years, and when my bride, Sarah, contacted me to photograph her wedding here, I was so excited. I love the opportunity to photograph at new, out of the ordinary, locations, and this venue did not disappoint. Not only was it unique and beautiful, the staff went above and beyond to make sure the guests, clients, and even the vendors were well taken care of and all was perfect. It was a truly wonderful experience and I can’t... read more

My mom, my friend, and I went to The Homestead 1854 for a wine pairing dinner with Spanish tapas, which was a fabulous evening on their outdoor covered patio. After enjoying the bonfire, we spent the night in the adjoining bedrooms, and Mary Kaye and Chet made us feel so welcome and pampered. The estate had so much historic charm, and breakfast was out of this world! Thank you for a wonderful experience - we will be back! 

Business response:

Corinne Morrison Holloway, we are so happy that you could join us for the September signature wine pairing dinner. What a pleasure meeting you and I hope you can make it back for the beer pairing dinner in October!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at The Homestead. We stayed in the Kollat Room and truly felt so at home that we slept better than ever. Normally, we aren't this lucky away from home. It was so comfortable. This luxurious place will definitely be a destination in the near future. Thank you, Chet and Mary Kay for the wonderful hospitality and delicious breakfast! See you again soon!!

An incredible evening was had by all at Homestead 1854, Beer Pairing Dinner last night. Owners Mary Kay and Chet were so gracious and welcoming. The food from Chef Rachel Conover was fresh, safisticated and absolutely delicious! The beer pairing with each course was excellent. Dave Knop our expert did a fantastic job explaining each beer and how it was produced. We had a great experience lastnight and we were thoroughly impressed with every detail of the evening. This was our first time experiencing Homestead 1854. We highly... read more
