A friend and I stayed in this wonderful Victorian home when we were in town for our class reunion. It was very clean and comfortable with a wonderful, updated kitchen. Claudia even stopped by to show us where everything was in the home to ensure we made the most of our stay. The house has so much character! We loved the fact that it had been updated while still maintaining its original charm. Claudia was a very responsive host. We hope to stay there again sometime.

We came down from Grand Rapids to see a concert at Four Winds Casino New Buffalo and decided to stay at the victorian home in Laporte. We loved this beautiful home, our stay was just wonderful and the host is one of the best people I've ever met!

LaLu family weekend

What a fabulous home to stay in! Rich in history & full of all the amenities you could need, provided by the owner. Tandem bike was so fun and the bonfire at night in the yard was a hit with us too! I honestly can't wait to visit again! Highly recommend !

Family Reunion

Brought the grandkids to my homeland for the week. We did a lot of things in and around LaPorte most of which involved water but when I asked my oldest granddaughter what her favorite part was she said it was the house!

beach hopping

the house was as advertised. Cute and well-maintained. Still a work in progress, but Claudia was very accessible and happy to answer all our questions. The location allowed us to go from Indiana beaches to Michigan beaches and back easily.

Claudia was the most gracious hostess. Her home was beautiful, clean, well stocked. I wished I had been able to stay longer. Quiet neighborhood. Bunnies and birds and I even saw a raccoon scurry down the street!! Close to everything. Old charm is so relaxing!!!

An absolutely lovely home! Rooms were clean and beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well outfitted even though we did not cook. Lots of coffee and tea available. Claudia was very easy to communicate with and accommodating, especially with our early check in. Perfect spot to stay for a Notre Dane game- about a 30 minute drive. We loved the front porch!

Claudia was VERY communicative at appropriate times. House was nice, a lot of “nooks”. Only issue was the a/c: as it was warm outside, we turned it on. The downstairs was very cool, but upstairs was warm Still.

It was a great location for my friends and as in we meander a bit around Michigan and Indiana this summer. The home was lovely and incredibly comfortable for four adult friends! Claudia was really great to work with and so hospitable! Saving this location for a future stay!House was more then adequately stocked probably better than anywhere I’ve ever stayed!

A true cozy home away a from home

We came up from Cincinnati for a little get away before school started back for the year. Everything was perfect. Claudia is amazing and the love and work she has poured into the house shows in every inch of the house. We plan to return in the future!

Claudia is very hospitable, and her "Home Away from Home" is quite lovely. Not only did Claudia take the time to meet us and personally explain the unique details of the property, but she also offered to make a grocery run for us! Her property is unique and full of character. She keeps it clean and well-stocked with supplies for the bathrooms and kitchen. Having baby items available to use was also very thoughtful. We would have loved to have used the fire pit and tandem bike amenities, but time did not allow. Thank you, Claudia, for providing a care-free and comfortable stay.

Neat house and great host.

My wife and I and four teenage girls were traveling from southern Illinois to northern Michigan and needed a place to stay that had enough beds and rooms to handle our group. We were fortunate to find this really cool house. It has lots of character and plenty of room. The host, Claudia, was amazing. She communicated with us throughout the process and made us feel so welcome. The neighborhood and the town were really cool. We wish we had more time to stay and joy the house and area. We would definitely recommend
