90th Birthday Celebration
We needed a perfect setting for Mom’s birthday visit with her sister in Valpo, including a first floor bedroom and first floor walk in shower This is it! The bonus was that my sister and I each had a private bedroom AND an evening in the hot tub. So cozy. So well appointed. So clean. Even our white slipper socks stayed clean when walking around inside. The beds and pillows were VERY comfortable and both quantity and quality of linens were superior. Loved it! Can’t wait to go back again.

Don’t look any further if staying anywhere near Valpo
This house was everything we imagined. Peaceful with a fire pit and wood and a very clean hot tub. Large gas grill for dinners. Large kitchen table for game playing and VERY comfortable beds. The hots Jo and James were outstanding. The town lost power very early in the morning and they were there to the recipe with a generator asap so our group could get ready for a funeral in the morning. Super convenient location! Very stocked with everything g we needed! Highly recommend this stay! Will be staying again when in the area!!!

Cute house, quiet neighborhood
We stayed three nights while visiting family in the area. From the time of reservation through checkout, the hosts could not have been more thoughtful and easily reached. There were only two of us so the first floor had everything we needed. As an older person I appreciated the accessibility of the first floor. Note that this is a vintage home so steps are steep both to the upstairs and basement (where a lovely second bathroom is located). The bed was comfortable, hot tub a big plus, and everything we needed for meal prep was there. It is a lovely home and I would recommend it highly. Thanks James and Jo for sharing your property with us.

Must stay!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience! This house is charming, spacious, and decorated beautifully! It had everything we needed to feel at home during our stay! The hosts were so friendly, AND respectful of our privacy! They even left a note letting us know if we needed anything, they would leave a care package on the porch! We’re already planning on renting again for a romantic getaway!

Nice home but had damages claimed against us
The property itself was nice and held up to the photos on the listing. However, there are a couple negatives/warnings I feel others should be aware of. 1. The hot tub water was not very clean; there was a milky layer on the top. 2. Home is not advisable for children as there was a crossbow and pellet gun left unlocked and in plain view in the basement. 3. Shortly after checkout, the owner texted me to notify me they would be filing a $2000 claim against the damages insurance policy I purchased for “new scratches” to the wood floor along with images of said scratches. From the images, it appeared that there was years’ worth of normal wear and tear to the wood floors. Many of the scratches and indentations in the images appeared to have been previously varnished over, indicating that they were not new scratches from our stay. The insurance company ended up paying out the claim, but this was an unnecessary source of worry for 2 weeks. Overall, the home mostly lived up to expectations, but we are frustrated about the claim filed because we do not feel that we caused the alleged damages. I would recommend taking pictures of the state of the home at check-in to prevent this from happening to you.

Perfect Stay - Lovely, CLEAN and well equipped - highly recommend!
We rented this lovely home because our 2 14yo kids had a 3 day swim meet at Hobart HS. The house is lovely, comfortable, CLEAN and well equipped. We cooked all of our meals while there and were impressed by the appliances, pots and pans and kitchen tools provided. Cute wine glasses, you name it. The kitchen had plenty of paper towels, dish soap, garbage bags and dish towels. The bathrooms were well supplied as well - shampoo, conditioner, tons of very clean towels. The house was the perfect size for us and each room was planned out so well to maximize the square footage. Parking is ample, super convenient and the outdoor spaces are terrific. The host communication is prompt and on point as well. We absolutely recommend this property and hope to be back!

We will definitely use this property again! Fabulous location too! Jo really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub, but we definitely will next time! Thank you Jo & James for everything!

Great stay in Valpo!
After booking more than 25 home rental stays with friends or family, I've been fortunate to deal with many fine hosts - but my experience working with Jo puts her at the very top. She communicated quickly and efficiently, she anticipated our needs, she helped us find Thanksgiving dinner, and more. Her sincere intent at insuring that we had a great stay was obvious. Brava, Jo! The house itself is older but has been skillfully remodeled. (Love the ceiling fans.) It was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dinnerware and there's even a REAL coffee maker. The DVD collection is massive. The neighborhood feels safe with above-average shops and restaurants just minutes away. The descriptions of the place are accurate. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay in Valpo! The house is in a perfect location - within easy walking distance of downtown Valpo's restaurants, shops, and coffee shops. And it was an easy drive to our friends, where we celebrated an early Thanksgiving. The house is super clean, well organized, and had everything we needed to be comfortable for the weekend.
