Great location in Valpo!

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.

Weekend 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.

Family Fun in Valpo

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.

Stylish, comfortable, and convenient

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!

Great Thanksgiving!!!

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!!

Cute house in quaint neighborhood

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!
