The property was clean and the owner is very kind and responsive.

8.0 / 10.0

The host is great. She's very personable and highly responsive. I wish more hosts were like her. The house is baby proof which is a huge plus. Our host got out a pack and play for us, a rail for the bed, tons of board games. The drawbacks are the neighborhood. It is outside the scope of the host. The house sits on a curve with a hill so all night we would hear cars come around the corner and give it gas to go up so it was a bit loud and kept my kids up here and there. The neighbor across he street has a loud truck and it seemed like he would come and go multiple times. Our issue was simply the road noise. Also, the dryer is kind of hidden. There is one for sale on the right of the washer. If you unhook the drapes to the left you can see the somewhat working dryer. I get why it's kind of hidden, the host was trying to corner off the utilities the best way she could and the way the curtains hung, it had to be that way. The dryer is very sketchy and shame on me for not mentioning it to the host. Basically, it is like roulette with the knob to start. At times, it would start on the sensor setting, other times only on the timed settings, and other times somewhere within either of those settings. Another helpful thing the host did was leave notes throughout the home. For instance, an emergency flashlight so she would put a marker for it. She would do that throughout the house to help when she's not there. She also left out candy for guests and would have some specialty bread.

The house sleeps 7 comfortably - with a couple couches that could sleep 3 more if needed. Very clean, good beds, good linens on beds, good bath towels. Check in was easy and our host Julie checked in often, left us a fresh baked treat and was the best !!!

We loved the great location with the park across the street and lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance! The house was very spacious with a great basement living area and lots of games! The outdoor living space and HUGE fenced in yard was a big hit for our group! We also enjoyed all the amenities for our two toddlers-strollers, high chair, toys, etc… Host was very communicative and even left a delicious bread for us 😋

My best friend and I set up shop with our games and had a weekend of moseying around downtown and playing games like we had years ago. The house was as advertised and we were able to walk everywhere. Julie, the host, was very accommodating and kind.

This was the perfect home for us while we were in town for our son’s commencement weekend at Valparaiso University! It was about a ten minute walk to the ARC, and it was really nice to be so close to campus—he and his friends could easily stop in between events and have dinner with us. There were lots of games in the basement closet for guests, as well. Our host, Julie, was wonderful and left us a sweet treat and a note of congratulations, too. So very thoughtful. All around a wonderful stay!

This is a very well kept place. Perfect for pets although we don’t have one. There are many beds and the rooms are very clean. There is a large fenced in backyard for a dog run and a nice outdoor patio area. Make sure you bring an hdmi cable or the like if you want to use the televisions, they aren’t smart TVs. But we loved this place

My friends and I stayed here for homecoming. It was within easy walking distance of the campus. There was plenty of room upstairs and a huge basement downstairs. We enjoyed the outdoor space especially the covered patio area when it was raining. Julie was easy to work with. We would definitely rent from her again.

Julie's place was excellent. Plenty of space to spread out (we didn't even use the downstairs space!) and gorgeous outdoor area. We spent most of our time at the beach and eating out, but we should have spent more time simply relaxing on the porch. My kids loved the chalk and decorating her porch with pictures. I loved the extras including an amazing piece on zucchini bread, booster seat, gate for the stairs, etc. Definitely recommend.
