This was by far one of the best places I have stayed. Everything was clean and beautiful. From the quaint quiet neighborhood, to extremely comfy beds everything was perfect. It truly felt like a home away from home. My father cannot use stairs so the fact there was a ramp, bedroom on the first floor, and a walk-in shower with a seat was extremely helpful. Anytime I messaged the hosts they were very responsive. I will most definitely rent this home again for future stays.

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!

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!
