Stayed Nov 24, 2025We had a great stay! The house was big enough to hold at one point for our stay 12 adults, 1 infant, 1 kid, and 2 dogs, and we still had a bit more room. Eddi and her team were great to communicate with when we reached out with questions.

Stayed Aug 28, 2025Overall stay was amazing and very accommodating for the amount of people we had . It fit us all comfortably. Location was perfect. Very close to beach and park and local stores. The host was very accessible and accommodating to any issues and requests we had . Beds were comfortable and rooms were spacious. I feel like the floors could have been a little cleaner upon arrival, some linen was rolled up in closets so we were unsure if they were clean ? Very minor things overall would recommend and stay again .

Stayed Jul 23, 2025The house has so much space! It was the perfect place for our extended family to connect & visit. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed. Thank you so much for the bottle of local wine! Checkin was easy, communication with management was quick & considerate. Close to Lake Michigan & local shops and restaurants. We hope to visit again.

Stayed Jun 19, 2025This house was very comfortable. Needs a couple updates on the outside stuff, but looks like product has been purchased to do that. It was still a very nice home to stay in. The owners were super responsive to any issues that I did experience. Very happy with the accomodations and would feel comfortable, recommending it to others with a large group.

Stayed Jun 12, 2025We booked it because it slept the number of people well but the floors were so dirty that our feet were black on the bottoms of we walked bare foot. Screened in back porch was poorly kept- broken door and windows without glass or screens and just dirty everywhere! . “Lock” for the sliding patio door was also just a piece of wood that didn’t fit well and really did not secure the house when “locked” Liked the location for what we wanted to do but the remodel of this place was done very cheapAnd it shows everywhere in the house.

Stayed May 21, 2025We were back in our childhood hometown and were able to share this spacious home with all of our children grandchildren and extended family. The home is beautiful and the booking and communication with Eddi was excellent. Thanks again, Eddi!

Stayed May 7, 2025We chose this property due to the amount of beds it had and its proximity to Valparaiso University. It was the perfect size for our group (9-12 adults) and had a well stocked kitchen.

Stayed Oct 16, 2024The location was perfect for our trip, and our children absolutely loved it! Eddi was always available and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met! The home was a great place to eat, shower, chill, and have fun in the evenings after spending our days hiking at the Dunes and hanging at the beach. Would recommend!

Stayed Sep 6, 2024The house was nice and clean. Everything was provided to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We just had one issue - the kitchen outlets were not working except for one by the sink but we were able to work around it. We’re not sure what happened because we couldn’t reset the GFCI. The last renter may have tripped the breaker but all in all, it was a great stay! Thank you, Eddi! Until our next Bible Study retreat!
