We were a group of 8 adulta and we wanted a weekend getway from the city. At about just over an hour away from chicago it offered the calm and quiet we need to relax. The host offered everything you could need. We used the bikes located in the shed and road all the way to the nearest beach! This was a memorable trip and we def recommend this for everyone including families with young children! We loved the fire pit. The only thing i would recommend is extending the lights from the back porch to the trees near and around the fire pit. Other than that the house was perfect! ##### Juan N. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### ej t. 15 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Review The home was very nice and had lots of amenities that we loved! 2 things we didn't care for - the too early check out time (10:00am). Since we couldn't check in until about 4:00, it just seems really short. Most places are at least 11:00 or 12:00 checkout. Also, the rooms that had the trundle beds were Very small and we had to move furniture around ourselves in order to get the trundles out. Renters should not have to move furniture so rooms are usable. Perhaps those rooms can be reconfigured to make it easier to pull out trundles. In any case, the rooms are very small to have the bed and trundle in them and you essentially have to walk over/on the trundle to get out of rooms. The owner was Very accomodating and responsive to all inqueries and the home is lovely. ##### ej t.

I literally spent hours on the internet researching how we could see them. I asked at least 6 different people at the visitor centers, park visitors centers, VRBO owners. Couldn’t find anything!!! I don’t know if people are trying to protect the homes from people roaming the neighborhood or if people who live there really just don’t know anything about them. We did finally find them, and they did not disappoint. After visiting there, we went to the Depot, a small art gallery/museum. It was packed full of information about the houses and the fair!! Good place to start if you’re interested in seeing the houses. Our VRBO was close to everything we wanted to see. It had a beautiful porch for game playing and a cozy tv area for watching a Halloween movie each night. I would recommend this VRBO for a fun vacation!! ##### Karen M.

The pictures online do not do the place justice! Laura was a kind host and quickly replied to any questions I had. It was clean, plenty of space to spread out, and had all of comforts of home! The setting is serene and quiet with mature trees. We have young children and they enjoyed walking in circles on the garden path, s’mores at the bonfire, seeing horses and deer in the backyard, and the two nearby parks! The stop 50 pizza was some of the best we had but recommend to order ahead. The first night we tried to order takeout at 5pm and they said they were not going to be ready until 8pm! So the next day we called right when they opened For 5pm takeout and no issues :) We took advantage of the stables nearby for a pony ride and also went blueberry picking! It seems as thought the stop 37 beach access was closed for the summer so we went to the beach in New Buffalo. Truly a great location, so much to do close by! The extra large back porch was great for an afternoon nap or breakfast at the table. We cooked most of our meals in the kitchen with a large island and everything you need. We were very comfortable and plan to return next year! ##### Melissa J.
