Wonderful stay

The house was very comfortable. It was large enough that everybody could have their privacy and enough room for us all to come together. The bathrooms are large and the linens were nice. We would definitely rent the house again if we ever needed to.

Cute gem in Griffith

We needed a place to stay for a few days in Lake County, IN. Found this house on VRBO and it was the size and location we were looking for. The house surpassed our expectations, and the welcoming communication as well as the essentials and snacks were a pleasant surprise. I would recommend this house to anyone who is looking to stay in the area.

Beautiful home in quiet neighborhood.

This house was amazing! It had all of the comforts of home. Plenty of towels and linens. Dishes, utensils, cookware, anything and everything you would need. The property manager checked in on us to see how we were doing. We will definitely book this home again next time we are in the area.

The location was a little further from the softball fields than we would’ve liked, but it was DEFINITELY WORTH THE DRIVE! The convenience of getting up and having breakfast or working in the kitchen or playing Xbox was nice! Very clean—-much cleaner than the hotels in Crown Point!! Thank you for opening your “home” to us!

New Year’s Gathering

This was a very nice place to spend a quiet New Year’s weekend with a small group of family. The property was very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed to prepare a holiday meal. Gwen was an outstanding host and very responsive. The welcome note and snack basket were a nice extra touch and we truly appreciated both. We definitely recommend this rental and will return!

Wheeler Ave.

Very nice house. The hostess, Gwen, was very thoughtful and communicated very well with me so there was no anxiety about anything. The home accommodated my husband and myself and our son. But this would also be a great place to stay for a family with young children. The neighborhood is quiet and the backyard is fenced in. All in all, a good experience.

Family wedding and visit old hometown

The property was just as it is pictured. The host is amazing and very helpful. We walked in-the lights were on, snacks and fruit on the counter to enjoy, plus k-cups and cold water in frig! We stayed close to where my mom (86 years old) grew up. the blessing of family stories was a highlight. Then a family wedding by in Chicago. Thanks for a lovely place to stay. Walking around the neighborhood or to the grocery store made this a convenient location.

3 Dune Challenge Conquered!

I brought my family to the Indiana Dunes for the first time, unsure of what to expect from the parks or this vacation home rental. Everything exceeded our expectations. The images don't do the property justice. The new epoxy finish on the flooring felt like walking on clouds of marble. It brightened up the interior and was cool on the feet, which was much appreciated in the 80+ degree weather. My coonhound loved laying on the cool flooring too.Despite being almost at maximum occupancy, we had plenty of linens, toiletries, dishes, cookware, and utensils. The host was very responsive to my texts. The fenced-in backyard was a huge plus since I brought my dog. The TV in the living room had all the apps for viewing. The bathrooms were spacious, and the property was spotless at check-in. My family and I could not have asked for a better experience at a vacation home rental.

BEST STAY I’VE EVER HAD IN ANY VACATION RENTAL!

The place was beautifully designed and very clean and felt like home. It had an amazing amount of clean towels and blankets and in unit washer and dryer and detergent that came in handy towards the end of our stay. The host Gwen was responded immediately with any questions I had and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was amazing.

Great stay!

We had a great stay here. The place was very spacious and clean. Gwen was readily available for advise on where to visit as well as if any needs had arisen. We had no trouble with the home and Gwen was in constant communication with us. There were some lovely little touches a well, like snacks, cold water in the fridge, toiletries in each bathroom, and cleaning supplies available if needed. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely return if in the area again.
