Visiting From Out of Town?

 
Air Travel:
Air

SHE SAID YES!

We suggest flying into Chicago O’Hare International airport for the easiest access to both the wedding location and the city of Chicago. As an alternative you can also access Lake Villa, IL from Milwaukee airport, which is just a bit farther in distance.

 

Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD)
General Mitchell International Airport (MKE)
Transportation:
Shuttle Service will be provided to and from the Hampton Inn & Suites and Lehmann Mansion for the wedding.
 
Getting around the Chicagoland area is easy and there are so many options for all types of travelers.
 
Car Rental:
Car Rental is the easiest way to access both Lake Villa and Chicago. All the O'Hare rental car agencies can be found near the baggage claim areas in Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Courtesy phones are there for your convenience. Courtesy phones for rental cars are also located in the lower level of Terminal 5 of O'Hare Airport. The rental car agencies often operate complimentary bus/shuttle services. We recommend booking a car rental well ahead of time for the best price. Here is a list of companies with pick-up locations on site at O’Hare Airport.
 
UberX and UberTaxi Services:
Enter our promo code “kmzh5” and get $30 in credit toward your first ride for new users.

 

Whether you’re a brand new user or a long time customer, Uber is a state of the art taxi service and excellent way to get around Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. With any smartphone, download the Uber app. Once downloaded, you can easily get a fare quote from your current location to your final destination, hail a driver right from your phone and get a text message as soon as they arrive.
 
While you can use UberTaxi to call a ride directly to the airport, we recommend walking just beyond the Arrivals area to the Public Transit- Blue Line side of the airport for pick-up. It saves time and confusion!
 
A variety of UberX and UberTaxi services are also available around Lake Villa, to ensure you can get to and from our selected hotel, train station to the city and anywhere else you may want to go!
 
Taxi Services:
Taxi Services can be reserved in advance in order to ensure the fastest service or can be booked easily at the time of service as well. The below company has flat rates from the airport to Libertyville or Lake Villa and can also be used locally within the suburbs, if needed.

Public Transportation:
Both the Suburbs and Chicago are easily accessible by public transportation on the Illinois commuter train system Metra. For just about $7, you can purchase a one-way ticket, so it is extremely budget friendly for all of our guests and a beautiful, relaxing way to travel all over—from the airport, to Lake Villa, to the city, and beyond!
 
If you decide to use the train to access Libertyville, the station is located less than 2 miles from the Hampton Inn & Suites where we have a courtesy room block. Please use a 303 Taxi or Uber to travel between the two locations.
 
You can also hop back on the train from the Libertyville station and take it all the way to Union Station in downtown Chicago. From there, you can walk, bike or cab to any of the super fun Chicago activities you’ll find on our Things to Do.
 
To/From O’Hare Airport to Libertyville:
Travelers coming from O'Hare International Airport terminals can use the O'Hare Transfer Station to access Metra's North Central Service trains to the Praire Crossing/Libertyville station. The station is located adjacent to Parking Lot F on the northeast side of O'Hare.
