The house is so cute! There so much room for such a little house, and so many games for the kids! It was so warm and cozy we didn't notice it was snowing outside!
The host is great. She's very personable and highly responsive. I wish more hosts were like her. The house is baby proof which is a huge plus. Our host got out a pack and play for us, a rail for the bed, tons of board games. The drawbacks are the neighborhood. It is outside the scope of the host.
The house sits on a curve with a hill so all night we would hear cars come around the corner and give it gas to go up so it was a bit loud and kept my kids up here and there. The neighbor across he street has a loud truck and it seemed like he would come and go multiple times. Our issue was simply the road noise.
Also, the dryer is kind of hidden. There is one for sale on the right of the washer. If you unhook the drapes to the left you can see the somewhat working dryer. I get why it's kind of hidden, the host was trying to corner off the utilities the best way she could and the way the curtains hung, it had to be that way. The dryer is very sketchy and shame on me for not mentioning it to the host. Basically, it is like roulette with the knob to start. At times, it would start on the sensor setting, other times only on the timed settings, and other times somewhere within either of those settings.
Another helpful thing the host did was leave notes throughout the home. For instance, an emergency flashlight so she would put a marker for it. She would do that throughout the house to help when she's not there. She also left out candy for guests and would have some specialty bread.
The house sleeps 7 comfortably - with a couple couches that could sleep 3 more if needed. Very clean, good beds, good linens on beds, good bath towels. Check in was easy and our host Julie checked in often, left us a fresh baked treat and was the best !!!
This was the perfect location for a short visit to family in the area. Location was convenient, host was communicative, and the home had the amenities listed. We appreciate the host's flexibility and enjoyed our stay.
Check in, parking, everything we needed was available. Owner gave us a heads up about a local event that occurred during our stay and was otherwise available during our stay. Thanks!
We loved the great location with the park across the street and lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance! The house was very spacious with a great basement living area and lots of games! The outdoor living space and HUGE fenced in yard was a big hit for our group! We also enjoyed all the amenities for our two toddlers-strollers, high chair, toys, etcâŠ
Host was very communicative and even left a delicious bread for us đ
My best friend and I set up shop with our games and had a weekend of moseying around downtown and playing games like we had years ago. The house was as advertised and we were able to walk everywhere. Julie, the host, was very accommodating and kind.
This was the perfect home for us while we were in town for our sonâs commencement weekend at Valparaiso University! It was about a ten minute walk to the ARC, and it was really nice to be so close to campusâhe and his friends could easily stop in between events and have dinner with us. There were lots of games in the basement closet for guests, as well. Our host, Julie, was wonderful and left us a sweet treat and a note of congratulations, too. So very thoughtful. All around a wonderful stay!
This house was perfect for our family gathering in preparation for a wedding. It had everything we needed and is walking distance to the college and downtown area. Julie is an excellent host and great communicator. The house was comfy and clean and has a large backyard. We really enjoyed our visit
Our stay was very nice. The house was very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the outdoor patio space which made it nice to entertain family while we were in town. Julie brought us a homemade spice bread the day we arrived, was very good. Would definitely stay there again!
Very clean, which matters a lot to me! Very spacious and the yard is perfect to enjoy the weather.
Also close to downtown Valpo.
I recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Valparaiso.

The house has everything you need for a stay and is clean, well-lit and well cared for. Communication was very good and I definitely recommend this property, especially if you need to do something on campus at Valpo. The walk to campus was very convenient for us.
Great property in an awesome location! We were able to walk to Valpo City center and enjoy the amazing restaurants. Julie is so responsive, could not have been a smoother experience because of our incredible host!
This is a very well kept place. Perfect for pets although we donât have one. There are many beds and the rooms are very clean. There is a large fenced in backyard for a dog run and a nice outdoor patio area. Make sure you bring an hdmi cable or the like if you want to use the televisions, they arenât smart TVs. But we loved this place
Cute house that I just can't part with! I think you will enjoy it too! Plenty of room to entertain inside the home, with the bonus lower level, and the outside patio. There is a gas grill or weber charcoal grill available, weather permitting. We also have laundry facilities on site too!
