Short family spring break trip

Nice stay. The resort and town were sparsely populated in late March. But we enjoyed the house and town and took a day trip to Chicago and another day at Indiana Dunes National Park for a hike.One heads up: there is another house on the next street with the same house number as you approach Valhalla. Look for the dark green house on the left ( not the light green house on the right).

Perfect weekend getaway

Spacious yet cozy, beautiful home that was clean, inviting, and nicely decorated, located in the Beachwalk community. Ours was an off-season stay, very affordable, quiet, and just lovely. There are four bedrooms and baths, a game room with pool table with which we had a lot of fun. The large kitchen table is a great place to gather, play games, and reminisce. We enjoyed the home very much, and highly recommend it.

A great Thanksgiving Venue

The home and surroundings were fine. The hosts were helpful and attentive. It was cold so the porches and outdoor areas were not used. The bedrooms and bathrooms were ample and interesting. We could have used a little larger area for dining but it worked out well. A fabulous opportunity for a family holiday. Thank you.Ample supplies and small touches. Our guests were so happy!

Cozy Resort Home by the Beach

We enjoyed our location. We could walk to the Beach, pool, small park. There were many things to do included in our rental…corn hole (which we played!) bikes, golf cart. Anders and Joolz were fine hosts. We all agreed that we would love to come back. We had plenty of space to cook, watch football games on Sunday and just chill and catch up.

Family Vacation

Last year we stayed in the small house and this year we stayed in the big house given 2 more kids. Great house with kids. Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Baby gates do come in handy with an upstairs and downstairs. We really enjoyed having a golf cart this year. Great hosts and great community. Already booked for next year!

Great stay

Fantastic space for a family getaway. All the bedrooms are good, with privacy and bathrooms nearby--we slept 8 adults and a toddler no problem. Lots of toys and games for little kids, plus bikes and scooters to get around the area. Had a great time just sitting on the large porch and driveway. Good kitchen. Nice outdoor space, including a fire pit. Great to walk down to the local beach or drive to the Dunes park. The resort has convenient amenities. Plus, Anders is a super communicative, clear, respectful, and friendly host. Everything went really smoothly with check in, questions, and check out. Such a great spot, and good value for the area too!
