The most WONDERFUL Vrbo I have ever stayed at. The host thought of everything you could need and more! It felt like staying at a spa! It was so cozy we didn’t want to leave! We will absolutely be back for another stay!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed the comfort, cleanliness, and all the little amenities we’ve provided. Guests like you make hosting such a joy. We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!
Hostess was wonderful and very responsive. We loved the fresh decor, the brand new and high quality cookware and glassware. There were plenty of "extras" left in both the kitchen and bathrooms. There were candles to light, and extra soft blankets for a night in. Location was a close drive to both the Dunes and Valpo. It was a quiet neighborhood. We had a great stay!

Thank you so much, Laura! I’m so glad you enjoyed the fresh design and all of the thoughtful extras throughout the home. We put a lot of intention into stocking Moody Modern Dunes with high-quality cookware, cozy blankets, and those little touches that make a stay feel comfortable and relaxing.
Happy to hear the location made it easy to explore the Dunes and Valpo while still enjoying a quiet place to unwind at the end of the day.
Jessica was a great host! She added some personal touches and was very easy to communicate with. The place was easy to find, very clean and perfect for a long weekend stay!

Jessica is the most amazing welcoming host! The house is our favorite place to stay in Indiana! It truly feels like a home away from home! Jessica provides some wonderful fun treats and makes each stay so enjoyable! The house is decorated for the holidays, and everything is spa like, clean and cozy. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property. We will keep coming back!
We had a wonderful stay at this home with my spouse and our 1-year-old. The house was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we neededincluding a few helpful touches for traveling with a toddler. The location was peaceful yet close to local shops and parks. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive. We’d definitely stay here again!
My husband and I met up with our son from Chicago and loved your beautiful home! It was so clean and comfortable. The house was so well stocked with anything we would need! We were very impressed!

Pictures do not do this place justice! I felt like I was in an HGTV design home. Everything had a comfortable cozy vibe to it, and I could not have asked for more.The host is a great communicator and extremely hospitable. Every VRBO experience should be like this!!

They were incredibly respectful, easy to communicate with, and left the home in wonderful condition. They followed all house guidelines, went above and beyond with checkout tasks, and truly treated the space with care. I would be more than happy to host them again anytime highly recommended guests!
Jessica has done a truly outstanding job in providing all the little things for making a great stay. The finishes, kitchen & equipment, towels & bedding and snacks/coffee/spices are all best I have seen through many short-term stays. The unit is in a very central location with access to Chesterton, Valpo, the dunes and all transportation. Thanks Jessica!
This was one of the nicest, cleanest VRBO we have stated in. Don’t let the neighborhood detour you from staying. We felt safe and slept amazing in the VERY comfy king bed !! The master shower drain wasn’t working during our stay but the owner was very responsive and apologized for the inconvenience.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and slept well in the king bed — comfort is a top priority for us! I truly appreciate your understanding about the shower drain and I'm glad I could respond quickly. It has since been addressed. You were a wonderful guest, and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
This is our second time staying at this wonderful property! Jessica is the most amazing host we have ever had! She really thinks of everything and goes above and beyond! We stayed on Halloween and she had the cutest decorations inside and out AND provided candy for the kids. We also had a girls night at this location and she provided the cutest girls night activities and snacks! The beds and pillows are so soft, with big smart TV’s in 3 rooms. Did I mention there are heated floors and robes!! Truly a spa like experience and a cozy home away from home. We will be back!
