Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Northwest Indiana

My wife and I have stayed at many vacation home rentals over the years, this one was one of the very best! First, I booked they house late afternoon on the day we wanted to arrive. Sarah responded immediately, accepted our booking and got me the access code to the property. It was all done within a few minutes! The house was beautifully decorated (my wife loved it and she is a designer!), well appointed and located very conveniently to all of the places we wanted to spend our time. We loved the hot tub, used the sauna almost every morning and our Golden Doodle loved the big fenced in back yard. Sarah and Brady are unbelievably responsive to needs too! One evening we wanted to enjoy the fire pit, but they were out of fire starters. I contacted Sarah at 7:36p, she responded at 7:37p and by 7:51 Brandy had already dropped a box of fire starters on the front porch! What?!?!?! Amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this place, we will be back!

This was just what we needed after an eventful trip. The house sits right on the lake and everything you need to enjoy this setting was included (firewood, kayaks, condiments, etc.) The house had a beautiful view from the large windows in the dining area but also several sitting areas outside as well. The lake is nice and serene with geese, cranes and eagles sightings. The rooms were decorated very nicely and every space was so clean. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend at the lake!

Wonderful host, location and home.

An absolutely beautiful stay! Many amenities to make it a comfortable stay! Beautifully decorated! Comfortable bed! Wonderful nights spent n the relaxing hot tub! Enjoyed a great fire pit one night too. Loved the private beach-so peaceful and relaxing! Looking forward to coming back!

What an absolute privilege to spend a couple of nights in a Frank Lloyd Wright home. No stone was left unturned in restoring, furnishing, and decorating the space to its original grandeur. The home is full of literature, original architectural plans and artwork that enhance the understanding of the design, and of the home's place within The Acres community. Marika is the most accommodating and gracious host. We are eternally grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This is the second time we've stayed in Nancy's lovely home and we hope to return soon! The contemporary style features high ceilings and enormous windows overlooking a wooded lot and a graceful dune. The generous size of the living area and kitchen made it easy for our family to hang out together after a day in the Indiana Dunes National Park. You're only minutes from the lake, great hiking, and a restaurant we really enjoyed (Goblin and the Grocer) but the secluded, private setting makes you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere ... perfect for city folks trying to get away from it all. Nancy is a great host, and her home features plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. After a day of hiking and exploring, it was wonderful to return to this tranquil place. We can't wait to go back!

I absolutely adore this listing! It looks just like the photos, very easy instructions to follow, and a cute little neighborhood! Definitely check this place out the decorations and overall aesthetic of this house is adorable, not to mention it was very clean and homey definitely coming back :)

Great private space on a quiet street. Lots of breweries and restaurants a quick drive away. Amenities were just as described and the space is in great condition.

Great place. I wish I would have gotten there at check-in time, so I could have enjoyed the river more!

Irene and Martin were very helpful and friendly. The place was cute and clean. It was exactly what I needed, peace and relaxation. The beach was a three minute walk and it wasn’t crowded. We brought firewood and outside by the fire pit there’s nice furniture and it feels like you’re in a little woodland area with nobody around.

The location, space, and comfort of the unit was perfect for our stay in Valpo. You can walk to so many restaurants and local attractions! The place is well stocked with the essentials and the decor is so wonderfully done, which made us feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend a stay!

We had a comfortable girls getaway. We were happy that they provided beach chairs and an umbrella available for us to use. Enjoyed being able to walk to the local Fluid Coffee House. Just a few minutes drive to the beach of Lake Michigan. Michigan City is a quiet little town close to Indiana Dunes and New Buffalo which is more vibrant.

Great place - I was traveling solo for work and this spot was super convenient, relaxing and highly accommodating to guests rolling through. They took very good care of me and the house was laid out perfectly. I would highly recommend!

We had another great stay at Mari-Beth’s place, and we look forward to staying a third time in the future.

Cathy Sue's place was comfortable and convenient. I hope to stay there again.

We had an amazing time! Me and my boyfriend stayed for one night, the patio and dock were super cozy and we really enjoyed sitting out there at night just listening to music and having some drinks. Super nice area, the beach isn't too far and they have some fun bars and restaurants in the area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful stay in charming downtown Lafayette. This Airbnb is right in the heart of downtown with many restaurants and shops very close by, it provided a comfortable place to stay with an included parking spot. We were very comfortable and can’t beat the great location!

Great stay at Anne’s place. She was very communicative and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone coming to the Chicago area!

I had an amazing stay! Place was very accurate to the post on Airbnb and the host was very polite with clear instructions, and check in! Thank you for providing such an amazing Chicago experience for me and my husband!

Great host and great stay! Beautiful home. Thank you so much!

This is a WONDERFUL one bedroom apartment that is both private and spacious! The owner/host has the space fabulously decorated with an eclectic mix of original contemporary artwork and antiques. Nothing is generic about the space and it has been outfitted for guests with loving care. The host, Kaye, clearly puts much trust in her guests with her charming decor and furnishings. The amount of space, the privacy and the home-y feel make it a place we'd love to return to.

The apartment was clean and spatious, better than in the pictures. It's located in a corner of Hyde Park, at a 15 minute walking distance from the University of Chicago. It is a very residential area, with not many shops or restaurants near by, but if you walk 15 minutes east you will find bars, grocery stores and a few restaurants. I came to do research in the library's archive so it was very convenient. I had some problems with the door code sequence, but Erika was very helpful and responsive. My only suggestion is that more detailed information about the check in is provided, because not everbody is familiarized with lockers and codes! But my general impression was very positive! I'd definitely stay there again.

Met our needs very well. There was a little restaurant on the premesis.

The room is great. You get everything you see on the photos. The kitchen is clean and well-equipped. The location is very close to CTA Chicago train station and you get easy access to downtown. What's more, there's a CVS and Asian supermarket nearby, you can easily get everything you need.
