House 5863 is a City of Chicago licensed bed & breakfast establishment. This means we have undergone a rigorous building and license process including annual building inspections, health department inspection and fire department inspection. BE CAREFUL when booking reservations at establishments that are not licensed such as those offered by AirBNB and on Craigslist - you have no guarantee that the property is as described or that the room will be available when you arrive. More importantly, you do not know if the property is safe. Is staying in a safe hotel important to you?
House 5863 is a proud member of the Chicago Bed & Breakfast Association, Choose Chicago, the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce, and the Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Want to learn more about our bed and breakfast? Check out our blog and upcoming events in Chicago.
