Vacation Rentals By Owner In Valparaiso, IN

Enjoy 44 acres just 15 minutes from the beaches of Lake Michigan! With room to sleep 6, guests will enjoy this fully stocked barn apartment with gorgeous views! You'll be near Indiana Dunes National Park, tree-lined hiking/biking trails, wineries, cafes, outlet malls, & antique shops. Roast s'mores in the fire pit, watch chickens free range through the yard or grab a bite to eat downtown Valpo/Chesterton/MC—the perfect getaway for families or friends who want to relax or adventure in nature.brbrTo avoid any confusion, potential guests should thoroughly read ALL information below before requesting to book. (We promise that the info below will better prepare you for your trip and answer 99% of your questions!) brbrThe barn apartment (fully updated in 2022) sits on 44 acres. It shares the property with our 1853 farmhouse, which is approximately 100 yards away. brbrWhile we do tend to be “hands-off” hosts, please note that we will either be residing in the farmhouse (if it’s not rented) or next door during your stay. We will swing by to let the chickens out of the coop in the morning and put them back at night, as well as to water the garden. You’ll receive farm fresh eggs for your first breakfast. (We try to include a full dozen for you, but our chickens do go through a molting season and don’t always lay a dozen a day, especially in the cooler months.) We run an antique store out of the barn (on the other side of the apartment), but it is currently “shop by appointment” only. brbrSLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:brThe pole barn apartment is approximately 850 square feet and sleeps up to 6 people:br-Master Bedroom on the main floor: 2 people (Queen bed: Ceiling fan.)br-Guest loft with the low ceiling: 2 people (Two twin beds) Note: The ceiling in the loft is low—only approximately 5’4”. Children should be monitored in this area as there is a gap between the ceiling and the hand railing. (See photos.)br-Pull-out couch in the living area: 2 people (Full bed.) Extra blankets are available in the storage trunk coffee table (in the living room).brbrBATHROOMS:br-There is one large full bathroom with a tub and double vanity. It is equipped with fresh towels, rags, shampoo, conditioner, body wash/soap, and a hair dryer.br-There is also a bathroom across from the gym (not attached to the apartment but in the same pole barn), which you're welcome to use.brbrA tankless water heater ensures hot water on demand.brbrKITCHEN:brThe kitchen includes a large sink, quartz counter tops, a kitchen table and 6 chairs, a fridge and freezer, a gas stove/oven, microwave, toaster, drip coffee maker, hand mixer, and blender. Dishware, bakeware, stovetop ware, and silverware are provided, as well as salt/pepper and cooking oils.brbrDESKS/WORK AREAS:brA small built-in desk is available in the kitchen for work. Simply bring your own computer, WiFi is provided.brbrTECHNOLOGY:br--We hope you choose to enjoy the outdoors and use your time here to disconnect and recharge, a large-screen smart TV is provided. Simply log into any one of your own subscription accounts (Netflix/Hulu/etc) for streaming. br--Central Heat and AC are controlled by you through a Nest thermostat.br--A Smart Home Device is also in the apartment with instructions on how to use it. The device can play music, find local attractions, check the weather, etc. br--A washer/dryer is available for your use right outside the unit, near the gym.brbrGYM:brBeside your barn apartment is a gym. You’re welcome to use any of the equipment available. (Please note that this is a shared space, you may see us or other renters from the Farmhouse using the gym.) The gym is equipped with an exercise bike, treadmill, elliptical, full-body pulley machine, pec deck machine, bench press, weights, yoga mats, resistance bands, and a small trampoline. A smart TV is available in the gym as well. All items are used at your own risk; kids must be supervised/accompanied by an adult and are not permitted to use gym equipment. We do have monthly cleanings of the gym but ask that you clean any individual equipment after each use with provided spray and rags. brbrThe shared spaces (gym, extra bathroom across from gym, and laundry room) are professionally cleaned twice a month.brbrPARKING:brThe gravel driveway can fit up to one car per guest. (6 cars total.)brbrOUTDOOR AREAS:brThere is a covered porch behind the apartment for you to enjoy, with pretty views of the wetlands. We have an outdoor iron patio table, a fire pit, and 6 plastic Adirondack chairs. Firewood is provided for those who wish to light a fire (located behind the apartment). On the west side of the property, there is an open grassy hayfield surrounded by overgrown wooded trails, as well as a river (Salt Creek) that cuts through the very back corner of the property. While the river isn’t easy to access (walking down a hill, through thick woods without a direct path is required), guests who are willing to brave the journey to get to the river are welcome to bring their own fishing equipment. (You are also welcome to fish in the pond, although it has been infiltrated by beavers and snapping turtles, so we have never caught anything—other than turtles—in it!) There is also a 100+-year-old restored barn beside the apartment. If you’d like us to set up an antique table/chairs and/or decor for a dinner, we’d be happy to do so for an extra charge. (This requires us to do a massive cleaning beforehand, as we have free-range chickens/barn swallows/occasional bats—hence the extra charge if you would like to use it.)brbrSAFETY NOTES:br1. The apartment is NOT baby-proofed. (We do not have outlet blockers, no furniture is strapped to walls, stairs do not have gates, there are no safety locks on cabinets, etc.) As mentioned above, the loft area has a low ceiling, as well as a gap between the railing and the ceiling (see photos). Children must be accompanied by adults at all times so that they don’t climb the railing; guests are responsible for the safety of their children.br2. The stairs to the lofted area are steep and taller guests will need to be mindful of their heads in the lofted area, so as to not hit their heads on the ceiling. Those who are not able-bodied would not be able to easily navigate the loft.br3. We always remind guests to check themselves for ticks after spending time outdoors. Our property is sprayed monthly (inside and out) for bugs, but given the surroundings, you’re bound to see a spider or two while here. This is not a matter of not being clean—it’s simply a matter of farm life. :)br4. Our chickens have always been friendly with us, but as with any animal, interacting with them is done so at your own risk. We occasionally do have a rooster, and they are known to occasionally be territorial/aggressive with little ones. (You are welcome to kick him if he’s aggressive toward you.) Otherwise, please be friendly and gentle. We are happy to introduce you to the flock and help you handle them should you like to hold them.brbrPRIVACY: Please note that we also occasionally rent out the farmhouse. The farmhouse sleeps an additional 10 people, but the only shared spaces between the two rentals are the outdoors and the gym. The apartment includes its own amenities—including a separate fire pit/seating area for you—so you should not be bothered by others who may hang out near the farmhouse with their own fire pit/seating area. The apartment windows face the back of the property (no windows in the house/apartment face each other) and is about 100 yards away from the farmhouse, allowing privacy. We say this as you may other guests on the property (outside or in the gym) if it’s booked at the same time as your stay, and if it’s not booked, you will still likely see our family at some point. If you have more than 6 people looking to stay or wish to have the outdoors only to yourself, we suggest renting both spaces at the same time.brbrADDITIONAL INFO:brWhile we do rent other homes that are designated for guest use only, this farm is our personal home. We are only interested in renting it to the most respectful guests. Because of this, we do not have wiggle room on pricing, minimum stay requirements, or on the items below. While we welcome guests of all backgrounds, we will only be accepting booking requests from:brbr--Users who are verified and who already have multiple positive reviews from other hosts.br--Renters that are above the age of 25.br--Renters who are not bringing pets.br--A maximum of 6 guests per reservation. Extra guests are not allowed.br—We value our relationship with our neighbors, events/gatherings/parties are not to be held by guests. In order to keep the house in excellent condition for ourselves and for future guests, we are firm on these rules. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.br--Due to our free-ranging animals (chickens, peacocks, cats) on the farm, as well as for the health of our own family, we do not accept animals of any kind in this property. The HVAC system in the BarnBnB is also shared with the gym, antique shop, as well as a recording studio office. If you require a service animal to travel, please check out our Historic Charmer stand-alone listing, where we will gladly host your animal without potentially disrupting the experience of our animals, other guests, or our kids with allergies. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting you in a more comfortable setting! :)brbr***As hosts, we have sustained damages to our properties in the past. Because we value our relationships with our neighbors and because we aim to keep the properties in top condition, we do require guests to have previous positive reviews from past trips. If you do not have previous positive reviews from past trips, we do require a fully refundable $500 damage deposit. The deposit is returned on your day check out when the cleaning team arrives and confirms the property is in good condition.***brbr***S

Whether you just want to relax or prefer to tour nearby cities and towns, you can’t beat the location or amenities of TGF.brbrTo avoid any confusion, potential guests should thoroughly read ALL information below before requesting to book. (We promise that the info below will better prepare you for your trip and answer 99% of your questions!) brbrSLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:brThe home is just under 2000 square feet and sleeps up to 11 people in the following areas:br-Master Bedroom on main floor: 2 people (California King bed: Zinus green tea mattress.

The main floor bathroom (off of the kitchen) with single vanity and rain shower.br2. The master bathroom (attached to master bedroom) which includes a double vanity and double rain shower heads.br3. The upstairs bathroom with tall, double vanity and bathtub/rain shower; shared by two bedrooms.brbrA tankless water heater ensures hot water on demand.brbrEach bathroom is equipped with fresh towels, rags, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and a hair dryer.brbrKITCHEN:brThe main kitchen includes a farmhouse sink, quartz counter tops, a large peninsula with barstool seating for 3, a kitchen table and 6 chairs, fridge and freezer, gas antique style stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, and Vitamix blender. Dishware is available, and you are welcome to use any of our spices and/or cooking oils.

WiFi is provided.brbrGYM:brIn the back red pole barn, there is a gym where you’re welcome to use any of the equipment available. (Please note that this is a shared space, so you may see us or other renters from the Barn Apartment using the gym.) The gym is equipped with an exercise bike, treadmill, elliptical, full body pulley machine, pec deck machine, bench press, weights, yoga mats, resistance bands, and a small trampoline. A smart TV is available in the gym as well. All items are use at your own risk; kids must be supervised/accompanied by an adult and are not permitted to use gym equipment. We do have monthly cleanings of the gym but ask that you clean any individual equipment after each use. (Spray and rags provided.)brbrTECHNOLOGY:br--When we moved into the farm, we purposefully didn’t hook up TVs. We noticed our kids went outside even on rainy days and we loved not hearing the constant buzz of the mainstream media during Covid-19. Because of this, we decided that our lives were much simpler/happier without them. We always hope that our guests will use their time here to disconnect and recharge, but we also love a good movie. ;) For those who do wish to watch TV, there is one hooked up in the basement living area with a large, comfortable couch. Simply login to your streaming service (Hulu, Netflix, etc.) to watch.br--Wifi is provided...So if you’re a TV junkie and can’t survive without it, you can still stream to your phone. ;)br--Central Heat and AC are controlled by you through Nest thermostats. (Three zones for three different areas of the house.)br--Three Smart Home Devices are also in the house with instructions on how to use them. The devices can play music, find local attractions, check the weather, etc. Guests who do not want to utilize the devices can simply turn them off.br--A washer/dryer is available for your use in the basement.brbrPARKING:brThe gravel driveway can fit up to one car per guest. (11 cars total.)brbrOUTDOOR AREAS:brThere are three covered porches to enjoy. (Front, back, and one off the master suite.) We also have two outdoor iron patio tables (each with 4 iron chairs), copper fire pit, and 10 plastic Adirondack chairs for your use. Firewood is provided for those who wish to light a fire (behind the pole barn). A back porch swing allows views of the garden, barns, and pond. The front porch has a rocking chair and wooden bench to enjoy sunsets over the bean field. There is an open grassy hay field surrounded by overgrown wooded trails, as well as a river (Salt Creek) that cuts through the very back corner of the property. While the river isn’t easy to access (walking down a hill, through thick woods without a direct path is required), guests who are willing to brave the journey to get to the river are welcome to bring their own fishing equipment. There is also a 100+ year old restored barn in the backyard. If you’d like us to set up an antique table/chairs and/or decor for a dinner, we’d be happy to do so for an extra charge. (This requires us to do a massive cleaning beforehand, as we have free range chickens—hence the extra charge if you would like to use it.)brbrSAFETY NOTES:br1. This home is NOT baby-proofed. (We do not have outlet blockers, no furniture is strapped to walls, stairs do not have gates, there are no safety locks on cabinets, etc.) Upstairs windows have extra locks as precautions, but are low to the ground where curious kids could easily get out. Children must be accompanied by adults at all times, and guests are responsible for the safety of their children.br2. The stairs are VERY steep (the house was built in 1853!), and the ceilings are low in the stairway thresholds. Taller guests will need to be mindful of their head as they walk up and down stairs, as not to hit their head on the beams of the thresholds. Guests must climb outdoor steps to get into the house as well—Those who are not able bodied will NOT be able to easily navigate the home; although the house was fully updated in 2021, the age of the house does not render it handicap equipped. We only recommend booking this home if everyone in your group is able-bodied, as the steep stairs will be difficult for those who are not.br3. The oven is a retro style oven, meaning the outside oven door does get hot. Our kids have touched it while it’s “on” and have not been burned (it has not been hot enough to burn someone unless they were to press their hand on it for longer than a few seconds), but it is important to be mindful while cooking with little ones.br4. We always remind guests to check themselves for ticks after spending time outdoors. Our house is sprayed monthly (inside and out) for bugs, but given the surroundings and age of the home, you’re bound to see a spider or two while here. This is not a matter of not being clean—it’s simply a matter of farm life. :)br5.

Otherwise, please be friendly and gentle. We are happy to introduce you to the flock and help you handle them should you like to hold them.brbrADDITIONAL INFO:brWhile we do rent other homes that are designated for guest use only, this farm is our personal home. We are only interested in renting it out about once a month (at most), and we are only interested in renting to the most respectful guests. Because of this, we do not have wiggle room on pricing, minimum stay requirements, or on the items below. While we welcome guests of all backgrounds, we will only be accepting booking requests from:brbr--Users who are verified and who already have multiple positive reviews from other hosts.br--Renters that are above the age of 25.br--Renters who are not bringing pets.br--A maximum of 11 guests per reservation.
