Guests have access to the whole house except one half of the basement which is used for storage.

Should any concerns emerge, I am readily accessible via the app or telephone in the event of an emergency. Additionally, I have the support of two esteemed co-hosts (also known has my wonderful mother and brother) who assist in overseeing the property during my travels.

Nestled a mere stone`s throw away from the Journeyman Distillery and situated opposite the Valparaiso Police Station, our location promises convenience. The heart of downtown, with its myriad of exquisite restaurants and boutique shops, is easily reachable on foot. Moreover, FLUID coffee shop and the chic Ella Jayms boutique are just a minute`s walk away, while the vibrant downtown square is a brief three-minute stroll from our doorstep.

This property boasts ample parking spaces for your convenience. A brief stroll immerses you amidst an array of shops, eateries, and boutiques. Should you prefer, Uber services are consistently at your beck and call. For cycling enthusiasts, the town features the Zagster bike-sharing program; the closest rack is mere minutes away, offering daily rentals at a modest fee. Electric vehicle charging is located a couple blocks away as well. Furthermore, a bus station a few blocks distant provides routes to Chicago, while the South Shore Line is a concise 15-minute drive along Route 49.

Positioned near the train tracks, you might occasionally hear the elegant rhythm of a train passing by once or twice daily. At times it can be quite long, but usually short. As this is my cherished primary home, you may find some personal touches gracing each room.

The home is listed for a maximum of 10 guests. However, being a 3-bedroom home, it most comfortably sleeps 6 guests, but I can provide an air mattress and there is a couch in the living room that can be slept on.
