Enjoy an evening around the fire in the shared fire pit. Stocked with games, books, and movies, the entire family will be entertained in this new gem in Lake Michigan's premier vacation resort. For larger parties, you can rent along with the adjoining Troll's Den, which sleeps 6. A golf cart is available. Come check out this beautiful and unique property!

Short family spring break trip

Nice stay. The resort and town were sparsely populated in late March. But we enjoyed the house and town and took a day trip to Chicago and another day at Indiana Dunes National Park for a hike.One heads up: there is another house on the next street with the same house number as you approach Valhalla. Look for the dark green house on the left ( not the light green house on the right).

Perfect weekend getaway

Spacious yet cozy, beautiful home that was clean, inviting, and nicely decorated, located in the Beachwalk community. Ours was an off-season stay, very affordable, quiet, and just lovely. There are four bedrooms and baths, a game room with pool table with which we had a lot of fun. The large kitchen table is a great place to gather, play games, and reminisce. We enjoyed the home very much, and highly recommend it.

A great Thanksgiving Venue

The home and surroundings were fine. The hosts were helpful and attentive. It was cold so the porches and outdoor areas were not used. The bedrooms and bathrooms were ample and interesting. We could have used a little larger area for dining but it worked out well. A fabulous opportunity for a family holiday. Thank you.Ample supplies and small touches. Our guests were so happy!
