It's a beautiful setting. A little smaller than I thought but was perfect. Had most anything you'd need. The beds were very comfy. Loved being out on the deck. Feels very private. Our dog Buddy loved the yard.

Short but Sweet

Overall, the property had all the amenities we needed, was peaceful and just what we were looking for while on our road trip. We were within a short driving distance to the Indiana Dunes. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. We enjoyed that there were outdoor spaces to relax in, but if there was one critique I could give is the exterior could use a little TLC that should not deter you from staying because overall our family and pup had a really nice stay.

Great getaway!

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!

Nice Place to Stay

I stayed two nights with my 10-year-old daughter. The wooded setting near the lake is nice (though there's no access to the lake); the fire pit in the yard is great; the beds were comfortable (though you might want to bring your own pillow if you like firm); the amenities were just right; and the location between Valparaiso and Indiana Dunes National Park is perfect.

Perfect for a quick trip

What a cute place! We enjoyed this little cabin in the woods. The inside was adorable and my kids loved it. The outside definitely needs a clean up to make the deck/back patio a little more enjoyable. This is located in the middle of the woods so I understand it's not going to be prestine or anything, the exterior just needs a little TLC. When we came back the second night, the outside flood lights did not turn on so it was very dark. This was a bit of a challenge with two super tired kiddos but it was manageable with a light from our cell phone. If you need a fan to sleep like I do, bring a travel fan. The ceiling fans are not operational without a light being on. My kids loved the bunk bed and the little snacks that had been left for us upon arrival. We would definitely stay here again.
