    The home was amazing! Very clean and accessible for our group. The hot tub was fabulous! The owners are so incredibly friendly, helpful, and generous! I could not possibly recommend booking this home more… perfect for a group of 6! Plenty of space inside and out :) very close to indiana dunes National park, which was our main reason for visiting.

    This is a charming and convenient home for our visits to Valparaiso. Everything is amazing—we have no complaints at all. We wish we could come to Valpo more often now that we’ve discovered this home away from home!

    Beautiful home with the most comfortable beds! My grandkids loved seeing the chickens and a couple of bunnies outside. The house is set up easily for someone who needs a ramp and large shower on the first floor; wide doorways as well. Plenty of hot water! Plenty of outdoor space for all! We never felt cramped inside or out. Quiet neighborhood. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub. The house is so close to downtown; perfect location! Everything about this place was easy. Loved our hosts! I would choose to stay here again!

    This is a lovely home for spending the weekend in Valpo. The beds are comfy. The home is cozy. And the hosts provide a lot of little amenities that make staying in a rental even easier and enjoyable. We loved the Tiffany style lamps and art in the home. We even enjoyed seeing and hearing the chickens in the coop out back :) We didn't ask for any eggs, but would totally do that the next time!

    The house was clean, comfy, and charming. Perfect for our home base as we visited several friends after moving away from Valparaiso a couple of years ago. Some accessibility features were very helpful after a recent injury. This is a great spot for a visit to Valpo. Highly recommended.

    The house was actually better than described. More than enough room to fit everyone, and more than normal extras. There was a highchair, and several items that the little one could play with. They provided all the extras such as toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags which are normally things we needed to buy. We were able to get deliveries quickly from Walmart and door dash. The hot tub was amazing and perfect to relax in. The 2nd bathroom came in handy with a tub for the little one to play in.

    This was the perfect getaway home for my boyfriend and me. The hot tub was the biggest selling point, but the home was well-decorated and clean. We joked that the kitchen had more pots and pans than our house! If we find ourself back in Valparaiso, we will absolutely book again!

    Hot tube great! House well stocked. Had a issue figuring out TV not realizing it was streaming only but we got it and then it was ok. Note: 2nd bathroom with tub and washer and dryer are in the basement with pretty steep stairs. Two of us couldnt go down there because of mobility issues. We loved the house otherwise and we loved the hosts! They were great! We hope to return soon!
