The ramp worked awesome for my large power wheelchair. The first floor was very accessible. The bedrooms on the second floor were a bit far from the bathroom in the basement but we managed.

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.

This was a wonderful, clean, cozy stay in a great location. Communication was excellent, and there was so much to do in town. We LOVED the chickens and reading on the balcony! We've already recommended them to friends!!

The house was actually better than described. More than enough room to fit everyone, and more than normal extras. There was a highchair, and several items that the little one could play with. They provided all the extras such as toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags which are normally things we needed to buy. We were able to get deliveries quickly from Walmart and door dash. The hot tub was amazing and perfect to relax in. The 2nd bathroom came in handy with a tub for the little one to play in.

Great Get-a-way

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!
