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.

Great Get-a-way

We enjoyed everything about the property. It was quiet and comfortable. However, too hot to use the hot tub haha. The amenities were great. We got to enjoy the Dunes State Park along with some local food and shops. 10/10 would recommend their place to anyone!
