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.

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!
