Annual guys trip for myself and a buddy. Terrific chance to relax and be away from work and kids and catch up with each other. Close to Valparaiso for shopping and food but still feels secluded. Highly recommended!

Perfect little cabin
Took a short family vacation and wanted to be close to the Indiana dunes national lakeshore. This wa a perfect! About twenty minutes away, close to restaurants and amenities. We enjoyed the backyard area and fire pit. Looked just like the pictures! If we come back to valpo, we would stay here again!

Easy, Clean, and Scenic
We enjoyed our short stay very much. It was so nice to cook a homecooked meal after eating out for several days while staying in Chicago. We enjoyed having the opportunity to spread out and clean clothes. The area was beautiful and the house was very clean. We spent the evening playing games in the living room as it was spacious enough for all of us.

Pleasant and comfortable stay
We really enjoyed this house and it fit our needs well for the weekend we were there. The back yard was particularly nice to play in with kids and enjoy the weather. We liked the location, tucked away near the lake. The property manager had provided complimentary snacks and all the necessary appliances and needs we would have.

We love this cabin. It was very welcoming and clean. It was so peaceful sitting in the beautiful yard. The location is convenient to stores and sites but truly feels like being away from it all. The host answered questions right away. Highly recommended!

Relaxing and inviting
This is such a cute cottage in the woods! We had a great time enjoying the peaceful surroundings, nightly firefly’s, deer, rabbits and songbirds. Updated throughout with such cute and trendy decor and the coffee supply in the fully equipped kitchen was much appreciated. Our welcome snacks and wine were such a great treat after a long day of travel and brought a smile to all our faces. We will certainly rent again on our trips back to Indiana Dunes area!

Great Location, Very Dirty
We stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights over the weekend. The location was what we were looking for - in the woods. It was perfect for bonfires and the fall festivities in the area. That being said, we knew we were going into the woods so we figured there would be bugs, spiders, some general uncleanliness of being in a wooded area. But, the lack of cleanliness in the house made us leave almost immediately the last day. I have a three year old nephew who walked barefoot in the house and his feet were black from the first day. The floors were filthy and the bathroom was atrocious. Again e knew we were staying in the woods, but there was nothing even wiped down or dusted. We couldn’t open the windows because of the filth and we had to have the AC on during chilly nights in October because of that. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Three day getaway
We experienced a difficult check at 4:00pm as the cabin had not been cleaned from the previous guest. That was a pain in the a$$ but the owner was communicative and eventually fixed the issue. He made it right and by the following day we were able to relax and enjoy the quiet. The kitchen was very nicely appointed, so it’s a great place for those who like to cook. Even the knife was sharp.
