The house has plenty of space to spread out and everyone can enjoy different activities. The basement was a great place to hang out, play games, and watch TV. The kitchen is large with all the amenities you need to cook. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend others stay as well
Very nice comfortable place to stay up near the great lakes, house was exactly as show in pic's, fun things for kids to do, and plenty of room, we took 9 and all had plenty of space.
My 3 girlfriends and I enjoyed staying at this spacious comfortable clean home. We would love to visit again when we are back visiting the Portage area. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay. The hosts communicated well and they even let us grab some beach towels before check in. The house was very clean. Ample room for our family of 6. Short drive to Indiana Dunes National Park. Would stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay - beds are comfortable, house is furnished and appointed well. The home has great character, right down to the one-of-a-kind furnishings.
Home was clean, spacious and the kitchen was stocked with essentials - far better than most rentals. We would definitely stay at Robert's home again on duture trips.
We stayed here last year when in town for our family reunion. It meant all our needs and was very clean and well furnished. We booked again this year when in town for reunion. Will rent again when in town.
We affectionately refer to this property as the Christmas house! The antique sleigh is a big hit with our grandchildren. We have stayed here multiple times and it’s always our first choice when we’re in the area. The house is very spacious, clean and homey. We have a large family and have plenty of room to spread out. The hosts are absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend!
This home was well equipped and stocked for our group of 5 and could easily have accommodated many more! The layout also allowed us to enjoy movie nights together and then have privacy in our own spaces. Great location- we were 10 minutes from West Beach, and grocery stores were 4-6 minutes away.
The property was clean, spacious, and in a great area central to many attractions including the Dunes! Neighborhood felt extremely safe! There was 8 of us total (4 kids, 4 adults) and we never felt cramped. Robert was wonderful to work with. Would stay here again!
