Comfortable & Cozy Lakeside Retreat

Indiana Dunes was our last stop of touring 4 national parks and this space was the perfect size for my mom & I. Elena is a responsive, thoughtful host and her home is inviting and bright. It has all your basics: Brita filtered water, assortment of coffee/teas, condiments (oil/butter/spices/sauces/etc), new pots/pans/utensils/dishes, sharp knives, and some lovely surprise amenities like a picnic basket, s'mores maker, & binoculars. We especially appreciated the thoughtful curation of puzzles/games + use of green cleaning products like Dr. Bronners & Seventh Generation. There are also luggage racks which are such a nice detail for added convenience. Though we didn't use it, there's a desk positioned in a good sized nook should you need to work remotely. The fire pit + gas grill are steps away from the unit. The inflatable jacuzzi was great for relaxing after a day out. The dome is fun but we didn't spend much time there because of mosquitos... there was insect repellent available though! The bed + pull-out were both comfortable with soft linens. It wasn't an issue for us but for lighter sleepers, note the furnace is right next to the bedroom and centrally controlled so having earplugs/phones could easily support a better night's rest. It's easy to see Elena has put much thought + care into making this a wonderful home away from home. She also gave great recommendations to local events like farmers markets. If visiting Valparaiso or nearby, I highly recommend her place!

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.
