10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
wonderful Home and hosts that allow you to feel like you are at home. I stay in rental houses all the time as I travel frequently because I have family scattered around the United States. My stay at sandhill Flats in Gary, Indiana has been amazing and I will continue to request to book this home every time I come to Chicago to visit my family. The home was clean., had everything I needed to enjoy my stay, extra towels, extra extra linens, coffee, and an espresso maker, which was my absolute favorite. Amazing hot tub that made the 20° nights. I feel not so bad! I give sandhill flats a 10 out of 10 for their courteousness quick responsiveness for any questions that I have no matter how minor and the overall cleanliness and exceptionalism of the home…
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
This was a nice place the bed in one the bedrooms was uncomfortable but maybe it needs to be replaced? But lovely clean place.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Overall our stay was wonderful. The hot tub was great and easy to use and access. We could not get the fire pit to light but was able to use the grill just fine. The outdoor shower was great for going to the beach and rinsing off our dog. House had a musty smell. Customer service was quick and responsive when we called. Would stay again.
