The house was actually better than described. More than enough room to fit everyone, and more than normal extras. There was a highchair, and several items that the little one could play with. They provided all the extras such as toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags which are normally things we needed to buy. We were able to get deliveries quickly from Walmart and door dash. The hot tub was amazing and perfect to relax in. The 2nd bathroom came in handy with a tub for the little one to play in.

Great weekend getaway

Great place, from the time I booked it until I left was so easy and great communication. The hot tub was perfect, house was spotless everything we could ask for was there. Plenty of places to eat and do within a few minutes. If we’re ever back in Valparaiso this will be the first place to look to stay at again.

Nicely kept home with classic character

We loved this place! The house was so clean and cozy. The beds were super comfy. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We hosted a get-together, and all of our friends and family loved being there. There was enough room for everybody to feel comfortable, and they all wanted to move in - the house was that charming!
