Excellent stay and great hosts
Hot tube great! House well stocked. Had a issue figuring out TV not realizing it was streaming only but we got it and then it was ok. Note: 2nd bathroom with tub and washer and dryer are in the basement with pretty steep stairs. Two of us couldnt go down there because of mobility issues. We loved the house otherwise and we loved the hosts! They were great! We hope to return soon!

Fantastic House!
This home was perfect! We wanted a hot tub, a fire pit, and a nice kitchen. And we wanted to be near a downtown area for shopping and dinner. This home was everything we needed... and more. Very clean and well appointed, every room was ready to receive guests. The kitchen was stocked with everything we need to make meals and enoy our stay. The hot tub was amazing and conveniently located just off the back deck. The entry instructions were clear and sent ahead of time. Everything about our short stay exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be back!

Valpo stay
We were in Valpo for our wedding and needed a comfortable place that had 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. Our stay was excellent, the house exceeded our needs, was very comfortable, well located and our hosts were flawless. I would definitely recommend and would definitely choose this home again. 5 stars

Great Spot but NO PLAYGROUND
We had a great stay here on our annual beach trip with friends. Location was great, beds comfy, kitchen well stocked, bathrooms nice and big. Host was very responsive and kind. Lots of towels on property for hot tub and showers. Would stay here again. The only issue was we picked this place over others because it had a playset in the photos - but there is no playset on the property. That said there was chalk for the kiddos and they loved that -- I'm sure it's just a simple oversight, but that image should be removed from the listing.

dunes vacation
This lovely 3 bedroom home fit our needs perfectly. The location was great for a quick trip over to the dunes and harbor. The kitchen was stocked with sufficient amenities to save money by preparing meals at home. We loved having the hot tub/spa off the deck and laundry to wash and dry our suits and towels. The bathrooms provided sufficient space for family needs. When we shared an observation about the hot tub needing chlorine, the owners were quick to respond and even change out the water for fresh. Despite all the inclement weather during our stay, we had plenty of space to move around and a good selection of videos:) All in all, a wonderful stay!

90th Birthday Celebration
We needed a perfect setting for Mom’s birthday visit with her sister in Valpo, including a first floor bedroom and first floor walk in shower This is it! The bonus was that my sister and I each had a private bedroom AND an evening in the hot tub. So cozy. So well appointed. So clean. Even our white slipper socks stayed clean when walking around inside. The beds and pillows were VERY comfortable and both quantity and quality of linens were superior. Loved it! Can’t wait to go back again.

Don’t look any further if staying anywhere near Valpo
This house was everything we imagined. Peaceful with a fire pit and wood and a very clean hot tub. Large gas grill for dinners. Large kitchen table for game playing and VERY comfortable beds. The hots Jo and James were outstanding. The town lost power very early in the morning and they were there to the recipe with a generator asap so our group could get ready for a funeral in the morning. Super convenient location! Very stocked with everything g we needed! Highly recommend this stay! Will be staying again when in the area!!!

Cute house, quiet neighborhood
We stayed three nights while visiting family in the area. From the time of reservation through checkout, the hosts could not have been more thoughtful and easily reached. There were only two of us so the first floor had everything we needed. As an older person I appreciated the accessibility of the first floor. Note that this is a vintage home so steps are steep both to the upstairs and basement (where a lovely second bathroom is located). The bed was comfortable, hot tub a big plus, and everything we needed for meal prep was there. It is a lovely home and I would recommend it highly. Thanks James and Jo for sharing your property with us.

Must stay!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience! This house is charming, spacious, and decorated beautifully! It had everything we needed to feel at home during our stay! The hosts were so friendly, AND respectful of our privacy! They even left a note letting us know if we needed anything, they would leave a care package on the porch! We’re already planning on renting again for a romantic getaway!

Nice home but had damages claimed against us
The property itself was nice and held up to the photos on the listing. However, there are a couple negatives/warnings I feel others should be aware of. 1. The hot tub water was not very clean; there was a milky layer on the top. 2. Home is not advisable for children as there was a crossbow and pellet gun left unlocked and in plain view in the basement. 3. Shortly after checkout, the owner texted me to notify me they would be filing a $2000 claim against the damages insurance policy I purchased for “new scratches” to the wood floor along with images of said scratches. From the images, it appeared that there was years’ worth of normal wear and tear to the wood floors. Many of the scratches and indentations in the images appeared to have been previously varnished over, indicating that they were not new scratches from our stay. The insurance company ended up paying out the claim, but this was an unnecessary source of worry for 2 weeks. Overall, the home mostly lived up to expectations, but we are frustrated about the claim filed because we do not feel that we caused the alleged damages. I would recommend taking pictures of the state of the home at check-in to prevent this from happening to you.

Felt like home
The minute we walked in the door, we felt like we were at home. The house is beautifully maintained with gorgeous wood floors and stairs. We were so comfortable there. The bedrooms were all beautiful and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood is cute and close to everything we needed. Our hosts were the best! We loved staying there.
