If you are considering this property to stay at and choose not to, you are making a huge mistake! The apartment is in the lower level of a lovely home in a quiet residential neighborhood. They allowed for one car in the garage. The decor is modern and tasteful and beds extremely comfortable. There is a fully equipped kitchen with more than anyone could possibly need. The linens were hotel quality and the towels soft and thick. We never saw the owners but they texted us to make sure all was well - and it was! They even put up a Christmas tree for us. Nice touch! Thanks for a great holiday stay. Maybe we will see you again next year if Christmas is in Valpo.

Reggie and LaJewel were amazing host! They were very quick to respond with any questions that we had and we had the pleasure of meeting Reggie. Very nice man and very welcoming! The property looks just like the pictures. Super clean and feels just like home. The decor is very nice! We will definitely rent this property again. Thank you!

We had a good time were visiting family in area enjoyed the space.

Great communication with the owners. I enjoyed all the amenities and restaurants recommendations.

We enjoyed our stay and the host was most accommodating in all aspects. If we ever return to the area, we will use again.

The owner was great at communicating in advance about the space, amenities and area dining options. We were wowed from the start by having access to park in their garage. That’s a first for us. They provided a digital key code so we could come and go as we pleased. The home is newer construction in a quiet neighborhood. When you first enter the space it is open and spacious with attractive design elements. The table was set with table cloth and place settings that made it feel especially welcoming. We’d shared in advance that this was our anniversary trip and the owner had a complimentary bottle of wine on ice waiting for us. That was another wow moment! It is a tri-level and the rental area is in the lower level, converted to a separate entry, with two bedrooms, full kitchen, full bath, living and dining areas. Even though it’s in a lower level it’s well lit with large windows throughout. The bedrooms and bath are all large. The bedrooms are carpeted and the main kitchen and living spaces are plank flooring. Everything is modern and contemporary. The kitchen had plenty of counter space and was reasonably stocked with cooking implements. There is a Keurig style coffee maker (Hamilton Beach brand) that also makes full pots of coffee if preferred. They provided a variety of coffee pods as well. There were also small creamer containers, tea, honey and sweeteners provided. There were large screen tvs in each bedroom and the living area. There is a gas fireplace that turns on instantly and was fun to enjoy sitting on the hearth. Bedding and towels were provided. The owner family resides upstairs but our stay was quiet, and aside from friendly interactions through the VRBO app we never saw or spoke to them in person. We came to the area to visit the Indiana Dunes national park. It was just 9 minutes to the visitor center. The park was beautiful and had many points of interest to see over our two day stay. From one point on the beach you could just make out the city of Chicago on the distant horizon, but the sandy beach was just like being at the ocean, complete with low surf like you might see on the Gulf coast. We ate at a local restaurant called Lucrezia Cafe run by an award winning chef. Amazing! The weather in September was warm and we ate on a brick patio under shade trees wrapped in lights in the charming town of Chesterton. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Highly recommended!

Our family enjoyed our time in Lake Michigan largely do to the wonderful accommodation. Reginald and Jewel checked in with us often and provided great restaurant recommendations. We would stay here again when we return to Laje Michigan!

A lovely home and wonderful hosts.

Nice property, everything that we needed an more. Very responsive hosts. Great overall stay.

great place ....very clean very nice

Great place for a family to stay. The owners have gone to great lengths to make sure everything is taken care of. Really top notch.

Great location, close to the dunes. Beautiful accommodations. Very clean and plenty of space! Excellent communication with hosts.

Spent a few days at Indiana Dunes NP with our 2 grandsons, ages 10 & 15. This apt was an excellent location to all of the park and local amenities. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Comfortable, clean apt with all that one needs-stocked kitchen appliances, towels, extra blankets, cushions for sleeping on floor, soap & shampoo, even beverages for purchase. Had a great time!

Sparkling clean and beautifully decorated apartment. Responsive hosts added to the enjoyment of our stay. We had everything we needed and we’re even able to put our cat in a garage. 5 star property for sure.

This was a wonderful property & would highly recommend it

Reg and LaJewel were such gracious and attentive hosts that wanted to ensure we were comfortable in our stay and having fun! The apartment in the lower level was cozy, extremely clean, and accommodating. If you are someone who loves to hike, walk, and be in nature, this place is centrally located to amazing trails ranging from the Sand Dunes, beach, and a walking path right outside the front door that is about 11 miles in distance (bonus!). It's a great place to getaway any time of the year! My mom & I would love to return. We were treated like family by the owners, and even though we were there for a week, we didn't make a dent in visiting all of the trails, so there is still more for us to conquer!

This was a very comfortable and well appointed private basement apartment. It is furnished and decorated like home with really comfortable but classy furnishings. The kitchen is very well equipped, and you could prepare all meals here during your stay… but you don’t have to because there are several great restaurants within a few miles. There is a great gas fireplace that is easy to use and makes the basement apartment feel even more cozy. The only thing I would say as a word of caution: this is a basement apartment and the entrance is private, but you do need to walk down 4 cement steps to access the door. These are in the garage so I e and snow are not a problem but if you or someone in your party has mobility concerns, this might not be the place for you. Also since it is a downstairs unit you do hear the host family upstairs, but we barely heard them at all. I highly recommend this place!

We were pleased to have people so nice and helpful! They started the grill for us, helped us whenever necessary, had great communication with everything even down to telling us about different restaurants, beaches, and stores! We had an amazing time and would recommend this stay to anyone. Perfect house and location for people of all ages. We felt so at home!

This home is beautiful and was immaculate. They have everything you would possibly need. It is located close to the beaches and the Indiana Dunes State and National parks. LaJewel and Reg are very friendly people. We enjoyed our stay very much.

The property was very nice and clean. Appreciate all the amenities and owners made sure we had everything we needed. Both beds were very comfortable. Short drive to the Indiana Dunes and beaches. The owners are easy to reach and communicate with. We enjoyed our stay and would go back again it was great!

Updated and comfortable basement apartment. Decorated very nicely and most everything appeared new or barely used. The owners were very good with communicating and very concerned about our comfort and well-being. We had everything one would ever need for a short vacation. They even left snacks on the bar and ice in the freezer for us! Would definitely go back again!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay! From sparkling cleanliness, luxury amenities, and thoughtful owners, this place deserves ten stars! It has Perfect location to the beach and the downtown area of Chesterton. Very comfortable beds, and a home away from home feel. This was the perfect get away spot for me and my family. Thank you Reg and Jewel for an incredible vacation.

Property owner was very friendly and helpful. Nicely appointed apartment in lower part of a house. Very comfortable and close to a bike trail that we took to downtown Chesterton to a restaurant for dinner. Close to Indiana Dunes State and National Park.

The pictures didn't do this place justice! It was a clean, comfortable, and spacious; a perfect spot as we visited nearby family. The owners were kind and responsive to our needs. Will definitely consider staying there next time we are in town.
