My family and I came to town for a family event and couldn’t be happier with our experience at this rental. The decor is beautiful, the location is great, and the owners are kind, helpful, and responsive. This is our home town and hope stay here again next time we visit!
Perfectly sized home for my husband and I while we visited family in the area and worked remotely; our small dog loved the yard! The tree lined streets around the neighborhood were lovely for walks. The host was very responsive which we appreciated.
We were In the area for my sons wedding. The property was very clean and the owner responded quickly when we had an issue with the front door code. We would stay here again if we were looking for a place in Valpo.
The house was very stylish both inside and out. We appreciated the fenced in yard for our dog, and the location was awesome. Downtown Valpo was within walking distance and Indiana Dunes was only 25 mins away. Do note there is only one shower which can be busy with 4+ guests.
Property suited our needs perfectly. Makes so much more sense than a hotel. The master was comfortable; the other 2 beds were too soft and uncomfortable. The yard was fully fenced in which we really appreciated. Games of ping pong, skee ball, and darts as well as board games are a great option to have. Valparaiso is a great city to visit and we enjoyed our stay.
This home exceeded our expectations! My family of 3 (and small dog) came to Valpo for a family wedding. This was the perfect home base for our stay. Highlights: beautiful art and decor, game room, large kitchen with new appliances, and comfy couch and beds. Outdoor bonuses: fenced yard, lovely neighborhood, park/ playground, and close to restaurants and shopping. It's every bit as great as it looks in the listing!
We traveled from South Carolina to have Thanksgiving with our daughter who moved to Valpo two years ago. 412 Elmhurst was great for our visit, for our Thanksgiving day and dinner, and so close to downtown for dinners out. It had everything we needed for cooking, relaxing, visiting. It was a very fun combination of an old house and a very good remodel. We always felt super safe and comfortable. If it's available when we visit in the future, we would definitely stay here again. Thank you very much, Kyle and Rebecca!!
We were in town for a swim meet and chose Valparaiso for its restaurants. This house did not disappoint. It backs to a park, which my 6 year old loved, along with all the games. Home does have 3 bedrooms, but you do have to walk through one, to get to the other. Also, keep in mind it’s a renovated older home. Therefore, the floors do creak a lot, waking everyone. Kitchen is fully stocked, but we recommend the restaurants downtown. All in all a great stay!
We loved our stay here. It was just as represented in the listing, had the perfect amount of amenities, and very comfortable beds and sofa. Loved the extra touch of holiday decorations. One of the best rentals we’ve stayed in. Owner was responsive and available.
Loved this house and owner was very responsive! It’s nicely updated, very comfortable, cute neighborhood, fun games in basement and great location if visiting Valpo students. Would definitely stay again.
Perfect house for our four night stay in Valpo. Beautiful and easy to find neighborhood, centrally located in great walking area. Friendly communication with the host and super easy check-in/check-out process. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Place was perfect for old friends to gather for Andrean class of 77 45th reunion. Within walking distance of downtown Valpo, and comfortable front and back yards, a spacoius livingroom dining room kitchen area, 3 comfortable bed rooms, this place really suited our needs! Thank you! May stay again in 5 years if its still available!
We really enjoyed this home & the way it is decorated - top notch! It had everything we needed and was so comfortable. It was a great location for everything we wanted to do. We enjoyed downtown Valparaiso and the restaurants. I would stay here again if I was in the area!
