We absolutely loved staying here. The hosts were so nice and great with communication. The property was the perfect location to get to Culver and the rental was beautiful. We will definitely be visiting again!
From booking to check out, our communication with Stephen and Pam was wonderful. Pam had some helpful restaurant suggestions and also made sure we were comfortable in our place. We had everything we needed and more! We will definitely stay here again if we're in town!

Thank you for choosing to stay with us!! We are happy you had everything you needed! You are more than welcome to return for another stay! Thank you!😊
Our stay was absolutely perfect. Stephen and Pam were incredibly kind and helpful, and the home was beautifully renovated with numerous thoughtful touches. We had a lovely, peaceful weekend, and we hope to return soon!
What a dreamy setting! We loved the pines and the sunrise! The interior is also extremely nice and well appointed! Comfy bed, quality linens, cute decor... we will definitely be back!
This apartment was above a detached garage, on a few acres in the country. Super nice, peaceful and clean. We stayed there for Notre Dame game weekend. Thanks so much.

Everything. Very quiet, scenic, home-like, hospitable people and location. All the amenities you could possibly hope for. Owners were kind and generous people.
I was looking for a place as a relaxing stay for my long drive to give me some down time. This place was perfect. Steve and Pam were great.

We sincerely apologize for the concerns you experienced during your stay. Due to the heavy snowfall prior to your arrival, we were unaware that our dog had relieved herself near the entryway. The snow concealed the area, and we regret that it was not noticed sooner by our landscaper.
Regarding the insects, our home is located in a wooded area, and while we take regular preventative measures, occasional insects can be expected in this natural setting.
As soon as we were made aware of these concerns, we refunded a portion of your stay as a gesture of goodwill. We strive to provide every guest with a positive experience.
However, prior to your arrival, we received an email from VRBO regarding/alerting us of your stay. Despite this notice, we proceeded to accommodate you as planned.
We also left you a 5-star review, as we believe in extending courtesy and professionalism to all of our guests.
The property managers are very kind. This is a clean cozy place to stay. Every detail was thought out to make this stay comfortable for the guest! The shower felt like a spa. Cute retro style appliances and really good coffee in the mornings. Deck offers a nice view too

Thank you for staying with us and your kind review! We hope you will return again in the future!
Nice place that is very well kept and has great/new amenities suitable for a even a longer stay. Everything is very clean and appears as though it has been recently renovated. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. While it's a guest house type setup on a larger property you wouldn't know it when you're inside. Very quiet and has it's own patio great for grilling. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Everything was just as listed. Nice quiet area. Very clean. Beautiful decor!! Everything we could have possibly needed. Communication was prompt. Will be staying again next time we visit family!
Great wifi, good cell signal.The property was very clean and private. Awesome setting in the woods.Loved the retro appliances.Bed is very comfortable. Pull out couch is ok, but probably better for children than 2 adults.Owners are on site but respectful of your privacy. suited for kids tha
We needed a quick overnight stay while visiting our daughter at nearby Culver. At only 10-11 minutes from the academy, the location was very convenient. This above-the-garage apartment is beautifully appointed, clean, and comfortable. It had everything we needed plus more. The owners were really sweet and responsive. My only suggestion would be to send check-in information through the VRBO app in addition to the text that is sent, as that text to me got lost in the airwaves :) so I was clueless on check-in procedures and access to the rental when we arrived. This was rectified pretty immediately, however, so it all worked out. In summary, I would highly recommend this beautiful, serene property as we enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
The area and house itself was an amazing view. We didn’t end up staying at the property at all unfortunately. Upon arrival, we noticed a car and then another car pulled up. Came to find out that the owners stay on the property with you. This was not listed nor was I expecting this. We wanted complete privacy to actually enjoy ourselves. This was a family trip I typically take every year but this year was disappointing to me and my kids. We didn’t get a refund for any of the days unfortunately either. Which was about a few 100. I loved the property but there was no privacy what so ever under the circumstances that the owners stayed on the property. The guest that arrived separately, kept watching us while they were outside making it a bit uncomfortable. I definitely would recommend to others if privacy isn’t an issue.

Our listing says that this is a unique stay because we are a working farm. You will see us around working in the garden and the fields. Also, it states we hold a maximum of 4 people, you brought 2 adults and 3 teenagers. Our pet policy was to be pre-authorized for pets under 20 lbs. You brought two large dogs.
I have graciously refunded one night, even though the teenagers laid on the bed, spread snot on the wall, and messed up all the games.
Steve and Pam were excellent hosts. They were very friendly and eager to help in any way they could. The apartment was super cute and worked out perfectly for our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Pamela Craft
We are natives to this part of northern Indiana. We built our farm from ground up with the dream of having a "bed and breakfast" since the early 90s. However, with 3 children thrown in the mix, the bed and breakfast was put on the back burner. As time and the name (bed and breakfast) have evolved, we have finally been able to embark on our dream.
Why they chose this property
We chose our location because of the closeness of family, and also has been a peaceful place to homestead.
What makes this property unique
You will see us around as we are a working farm: from vegetable gardening to selling eggs to canning pears to wine making to cooking down maple syrup! Take a nature hike down our trail, Possum Path and loop around Cedar Grove. But watch out for Jack Pine Plunge!
