Comfortable & Cozy Lakeside Retreat
Indiana Dunes was our last stop of touring 4 national parks and this space was the perfect size for my mom & I. Elena is a responsive, thoughtful host and her home is inviting and bright. It has all your basics: Brita filtered water, assortment of coffee/teas, condiments (oil/butter/spices/sauces/etc), new pots/pans/utensils/dishes, sharp knives, and some lovely surprise amenities like a picnic basket, s'mores maker, & binoculars. We especially appreciated the thoughtful curation of puzzles/games + use of green cleaning products like Dr. Bronners & Seventh Generation. There are also luggage racks which are such a nice detail for added convenience.
Though we didn't use it, there's a desk positioned in a good sized nook should you need to work remotely. The fire pit + gas grill are steps away from the unit. The inflatable jacuzzi was great for relaxing after a day out. The dome is fun but we didn't spend much time there because of mosquitos... there was insect repellent available though!
The bed + pull-out were both comfortable with soft linens. It wasn't an issue for us but for lighter sleepers, note the furnace is right next to the bedroom and centrally controlled so having earplugs/phones could easily support a better night's rest.
It's easy to see Elena has put much thought + care into making this a wonderful home away from home. She also gave great recommendations to local events like farmers markets. If visiting Valparaiso or nearby, I highly recommend her place!
