This cottage is very aesthetically pleasing. It was very clean, and well maintained. The owner was prompt in responding to text messages as well as phone calls. No complaints other than it took the home a while to get warm. I would definitely stay here again!Heidi

Charming property near downtown Valpo!

My partner and I stayed here the weekend of our wedding and couldn’t have chosen a more perfect property. The home is decorated aesthetically, and is a perfect size for a couple or small family. Everything was very clean, modern, and comfortable. Highly recommend this property!!

This was the perfect place for our family of three to stay for the weekend. There's a park within walking distance, it's really close to downtown, and only a short drive from everything else in Valpo. It was very clean, the beds were *so* comfy (can't be said for all rental places) and the smaller bedroom has black-out curtains (the king-size bedroom does not) so the kiddo slept to a reasonable time both nights we stayed! There are a few board games in the living room, and we were thankful for the PBS Retro channel on the Roku to keep the kid busy while we loaded up! Just a couple of heads up, the shower door had a habit of slowly opening on its own, but we wedged a washcloth between the doors and that took care of it. Also, there weren't a whole lot of plates and cutlery, just a set of four (big plates, small plates, bowls), so plan to wash dishes or run the dishwasher after each meal you eat there! Each house has its quirks, and I've stayed in plenty of rentals - this one is seriously a great one! Hayley is responsive and helpful (it got cold one night we were there and needed a code to switch from AC to heat and she was super fast to respond). Overall, highly recommend!
