Annual guys trip for myself and a buddy. Terrific chance to relax and be away from work and kids and catch up with each other. Close to Valparaiso for shopping and food but still feels secluded. Highly recommended!

Really enjoyed our brief stay here! The property was quiet and felt woodsy, but we were so close to town! The large, fenced in back yard was ideal for our pups!

I stayed two nights with my 10-year-old daughter. The wooded setting near the lake is nice (though there's no access to the lake); the fire pit in the yard is great; the beds were comfortable (though you might want to bring your own pillow if you like firm); the amenities were just right; and the location between Valparaiso and Indiana Dunes National Park is perfect.

Took a short family vacation and wanted to be close to the Indiana dunes national lakeshore. This wa a perfect! About twenty minutes away, close to restaurants and amenities. We enjoyed the backyard area and fire pit. Looked just like the pictures! If we come back to valpo, we would stay here again!

The place was very clean. It was a short drive to the beach and several restaurants. We loved having a fenced in yard for our dog.

We enjoyed our short stay very much. It was so nice to cook a homecooked meal after eating out for several days while staying in Chicago. We enjoyed having the opportunity to spread out and clean clothes. The area was beautiful and the house was very clean. We spent the evening playing games in the living room as it was spacious enough for all of us.

I loved my stay! A friend and I took a long weekend to visit the Dunes, Chicago, and celebrate a Birthday. We enjoyed the proximity to everything and watching the birds in the backyard. I would love to stay again. It was so peaceful!

We really enjoyed this house and it fit our needs well for the weekend we were there. The back yard was particularly nice to play in with kids and enjoy the weather. We liked the location, tucked away near the lake. The property manager had provided complimentary snacks and all the necessary appliances and needs we would have.

Our stay at Black Cabin was great! Itā€™s in a very quiet location and has an awesome back deck and fire pit. We really appreciated all of the amenities that Eddi included; we had everything we needed. If youā€™re looking for a hotel room this may not be the right choice for you. But if youā€™re looking for a quiet cabin like location that is close to all Valparaiso has to offer, I think youā€™d like this spot as much as we did. Eddi was a great host and easy to communicate with.

We love this cabin. It was very welcoming and clean. It was so peaceful sitting in the beautiful yard. The location is convenient to stores and sites but truly feels like being away from it all. The host answered questions right away. Highly recommended!
