About the host
Hosted by Elena Anderson
Hello! My name is Elena and I will be your host. I have lived in Valparaiso Indiana for almost 25 years now. We love nature here. Especially hiking and looking at all the wildlife that the lake offers. I also enjoy traveling and learning new things. I like being a host because in some small part I get to curate experiences that guests will remember with their loved ones forever.
Why they chose this property
We love our neighborhood because it is close to downtown and the dunes. Close to the toll road, yet our place is nicely tucked away and is tranquil. The sounds of all the birds in the morning never gets old and neither does the view.
What makes this property unique
What makes our property unique is not just the location but, last winter we purchased and put together a hypedome in our backyard. It has already provided so much fun. It's like a second living room but it's outside and away from the elements. It always gives me treehouse vibes without the climb.
