Driving Directions to The Homestead

From Chicago O'Hare International Airport

By Cab or Private Car:
Rather than take a Chicago taxi waiting at O’Hare, we recommend you call an Evanston cab that has flat rates. Two that we suggest are Northshore Cab (800-244-9200) and 303 Taxi (888-225-5303). Both companies usually have cabs waiting at the airport and will instruct you as to where to be met. For especially comfortable, though somewhat more expensive, transportation, contact Bill & Petrina’s Livery Service (866-675-9444). They do an excellent job of meeting your needs. Advanced reservations recommended.
