Historic Glen Ellyn Home with Optional Carriage House

Escape to a historic 6-bedroom, 5.5 bath* estate in downtown Glen Ellyn, IL!

*Note: The 6th bedroom is the optional carriage house (please message ownership before booking if needed).

The Dibble Estate is a designated historical landmark within Glen Ellyn's historic district. It was built in 1914 in a Spanish Mediterranean style – with beautiful cream colored stucco and a classic red tile roof. Frederick Dibble purchased the property (used primarily for horses at the time) from Moses Stacey, widely considered the founding father of what was then known as "Stacy's Corner" — and now as "Glen Ellyn".

This home is built for large and/or multiple families. It's great for gathering, yet with plenty of nooks and crannies to find some alone time. The kitchen's large island is perfect for hosting and entertaining. The living room's vintage furniture, grand piano, and fireplace invite both reflection and the musically inclined. The property has a lush and spacious outdoor garden and patio area that was once featured on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens.

The Dibble Estate is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and admired homes by architects, historians, and community members in the Chicagoland area.

Again, the "Carriage House" is listed separately and can be arranged as part of the reservation; however, you must make a "booking inquiry" first in order to confirm that the Carriage House is also available during the preferred time. Pricing for the Carriage House varies on season and length of stay.
During your stay at this holiday home, you'll be close to Wheaton College. You'll find features such as breakfast (surcharge). The holiday home includes amenities such as a kitchen and 5.5 bathrooms.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 5.5 bathrooms
  • Breakfast is offered for a fee
  • On-site recreation includes a playground
  • Just a 4-minute drive from Wheaton College and a few minutes from Adventist GlenOaks Hospital
As a guest of Historic Glen Ellyn Home with Optional Carriage House, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and local meal delivery service. The front desk is open around the clock.

Comfortable stay in a unique and historical Glen Ellyn home
My family loved our stay at Bob's home. In the description, he mentions that he loves for people to stay here and that definitely shines through in the overall experience. Whether it was the easy communication with Bob throughout or the numerous amenities, he made us feel very welcome. Unlike other rentals we have stayed in that are vacation properties, this felt more like we were staying at the home of a friend. All the rooms were comfortable and we had everything we could possible need. We hosted a large dinner with family from the area and everyone raved about this home. The location was excellent for walking to the park/lake and to downtown. We were sad to leave but will definitely be using this property again in the future.
Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024
