The pictures don't show how beautiful this property really is! It doesn't feel like a rental. The entire property is well decorated, clean, well-cared for and really relaxing! There are lots of little touches that made it feel very welcoming as soon as we walked in the door. The hosts provided a binder to explain some things about the property, history of the area and a list of local restaurants. There was also a binder with menus! I wish we had spent some time on the lovely patio that is available for guests staying there. It is located in a nice area of Portage. And it was pretty easy to get around town from the home. We would be happy to stay there again!

We enjoyed our stay. The location was convenient for travel to Chicago by car or train. Also, right next to a trail for walking, running or biking. Very clean and the description well represented what the place has to offer. The host quickly responded to all my messages. Great overall stay and would recommend.
