We had a great stay at this cozy home. The house is so nice and so clean. The location is great. We loved being able to walk to town to eat and shop at some of the stores. The hot tub was a nice bonus. The owners were great. They let our grandson feed their chickens which he loved. We all had a great time. We will be back!

We really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and loved our stay. Spent a lot of time in the hot tub. And there are chickens!

We had a great stay! My family stayed here for a wedding we had in town and it was absolutely perfect. The house was incredibly clean and Jo was so communicative! Absolutely great!

We were in town for a family wedding. This was a perfect stay for our family for the weekend. Plenty of room for us- we loved being able to sit together at the kitchen table. Our children are big breakfast eaters, so we loved the fresh eggs delivered to our door our first morning. Check-in was super easy, and the place had everything we needed. Thank you for a great stay!

Great location near campus, plenty of room for 5 adults coming in to support our son and his football team.

This property was perfect for our weekend getaway with the kids. The property was clean and in a perfect location for going to the Dunes and a quick trip to Chicago. The owners were very friendly and gave us tips on things to do in the area. We were lucky enough to catch the popcorn parade down the street. James delivered us a dozen of fresh eggs from the chickens and even let the chickens out for the kids to play with. My little ones enjoyed the "beach house" and we are looking into going back for spring break. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend!

This was an exact representation of what was listed on line-so comfortable and welcoming.

Adorable little place no complaints at all! Great location and good for little ones

This was a nice place for us to stay while dropping our son off at college. Nice neighborhood and close to downtown Valpo.

We fully enjoyed our stay. The property met our every need. Everything was as described, and was clean and tidy. The property is a newer renovation of an older house, and has been very nicely done, with all modern amenities, quality fixtures etc. The kitchen had everything we needed for a large family dinner, which we grilled on the deck. The house is located on a quiet residential street, but is close to downtown and another close-by commercial area. There are parks nearby and Valpo has a lot going on for all ages. The large yard includes a fire pit, a kid's play structure and easy parking for several cars. The hot tub, which we used quite a bit, is attached to the deck. The chickens, far at the back of the yard, were great fun for the kids, and Jo delivered a dozen of their fresh eggs. (For those that might be concerned with noise, the chickens were totally unobtrusive.) Jo was great with communication and quickly answered any questions we had. The Valpo location provides easy access to Indiana Dunes (we recommend the National Park side), to Chicago, and we had a great all-day visit to the nearby Lake County Fair - a truly midwestern fair with all the animals, contests, rides etc. Downtown Valpo has lots of nice shops and restaurants and various seasonal activities. Overall - we had a great stay and will definitely stay again if we are back in the area with our (three generation) group.

There were four of us in town for the weekend and we enjoyed our stay at the house. There was plenty of room to spread out. Joanne was very responsive and when we asked for an iron and iron board, she quickly delivered one to us. The house was nice and clean. I’m would definitely stay there again.

If you want a place that is close to all the shops and restaurants downtown, this is the place. Quite neighborhood with good sidewalks. The home is clean, comfy and well stocked. The owners were easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.

This home was clean and comfortable, handicap shower on the main floor was a big plus for me, appliances, carpet , paint was all fresh and new. This was a very pleasant stay for me and my family, I will be staying here again

Our family stayed here for a weekend getaway! The house is clean and Jo and James are like friends 😊 we appreciate the hospitality and accommodation they provide for our stay. We are thinking of reasons to come back. Thank you, Jo and James!!

Jo and James live next door to the property and communicated frequently throughout our stay by text and in person. They shared that they are new to hosting, but they were extremely responsive to all of our questions and promptly helped us work through the few minor hiccups we experienced (the internet password in the house manual was incorrect, the water in the hot tub mysteriously got really low despite being covered). The first floor of the house is accessible, with a ramp to the back door and wide, step-free doorways, and a walk in shower with bench! The kitchen had a ton of cooking implements and dishes, but definitely BYO seasonings, etc. The house manual said not to use the decorative pillows on the beds, which we found confusing because they all appeared to be decorative (9 pillows on the king bed upstairs!), but we were able to locate some sleeping pillows in standard pillow cases in the bedroom closets. There are chickens in a coop on the property, which we were not expecting, but Jo and James did drop off fresh eggs for us. There was plenty of parking, and the house is a .6 mile walk from downtown restaurants, etc. There was plenty of space for us to WFH without disturbing one another. One thing to note if you're sensitive to temperature is that the AC didn't quite keep the upstairs cool - which is not unexpected in older houses - which did make sleeping a little bit uncomfortable even with the ceiling fan. Overall, we had a great stay.

The home was amazing! Very clean and accessible for our group. The hot tub was fabulous! The owners are so incredibly friendly, helpful, and generous! I could not possibly recommend booking this home more… perfect for a group of 6! Plenty of space inside and out :) very close to indiana dunes National park, which was our main reason for visiting.
