We enjoyed our stay in this home located in central, historic Valparaiso. We found a remarkable transformation has been done to the home which is over 100 years old. The home felt comfortable and all the supplies and appliances are updated. We had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. We took many walks in the lovely neighborhood and the home is in walking distance to the shops and restaurants located in downtown Valparaiso. We'd stay there again.

Wonderful house
My husband and I reserved this place to visit family in the area for Memorial weekend to just have a place to sleep. Turns out, we wanted to hang out at this house as it was gorgeously done and gave us our own beautiful space. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We have excellent communication from our host Lori! She made sure all of our needs were met. When we arrived, the code worked (not always the case in some places ), and we were very excited to see how clean, tastefully decorated, and open it was! It looked brand new! There was plenty of seating for relaxing or eating. My granddaughter loved sitting in the bar stools and my grandson had plenty of room to crawl around. Two bathrooms made it perfect and we never ran out of hot water. The kitchen…perfection! It had everything we needed and more! We were so close to downtown. It was the best VRBO we have ever chosen. We will be back! Thank you so much Lori! You’re the best!

Sparkling clean luxurious home!
It was clean and roomy, just like the photos. Very safe, comfortable place to bring an elderly parent for a visit. The kitchen is amazingly equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a huge assortment of delicious coffees! Split bedroom arrangement allows for privacy. We had such a relaxing stay here!
