Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Porter County

Great place. bigger than expected but not as close to downtown as we hoped. not a deal breaker but neighborhood was a little run down. Looks like it's coming back though! We had a really good time and we're able to enjoy the wonderful little town of Valpo and see our daughter's last home basketball game! Would recommend this place and will stay again!

Grandad and small kids loved it. Great place to visit dunes. Wife is more of a Marriott person and it is not that type of place. Host was super responsive and friendly. Close to everything. The only small negatives was that we are not used to the sulfur smelling water and a little musty smelling (opening a window fixed that).

Second time staying. Wonderful place to stay and great host. Highly recommend.

I've stayed at a lot of Air BnBs, and this is definitely one of the nicest ones. The kitchen in particular was very nice to cook in. it had everything you could need, which is rare! I would definitely book this place again.

We had a great stay!! The house was perfect for the five of us and our dog, with enough space for all of us to feel comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The pool was the best part! Melissa was super prompt when it seemed like the heat to the pool wasn’t running and we were back in there in no time - the heated water was perfect for this fall weather! We also tried some of the recommended spots and overall, this was exactly the quick getaway we needed!

Thank you for sharing your home!

If you’re visiting Indiana Dunes, this is the place for you. Only a 5min drive to the beach! Close to town if you need to but any supplies too. It is on a busy road, so be mindful if you have children running around, but the backyard is large and fenced in.

We had such a great stay earlier this month, so we decided to come back for the long weekend ! Thanks again Lori for a wonderful stay in your lovely home and being a great host - we look forward to coming back again !

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at Mari-Beth's and had fun exploring Valparaiso. She is a gracious host and provided lots of thoughtful amenities like extra linens, brita pitchers, and white noise machines by the bedside. We booked both units and it was spacious enough for ten of us. Check in was quick and easy and the unit was clean and comfortable. Location was great, a few blocks from all the cute shops and restaurants, along with easy street parking. I would highly recommend Mari-Beth as a host and we would stay here again.

Really amazing little cottage right on the lake. Water was amazing, beautiful beach that wasn’t crowded, just really really nice. Cell coverage was weak when we were there but that’s the case for the entire Dune area. Cant wait to come back, one of the best vacations ever

Loved staying at this Airbnb. Everything was clean and instructions were clear. Hosts were great at communicating and very friendly! :) This location is perfect if you want to explore the dunes and beaches in the surrounding area.

From start to finish, my stay at The Garden Getaway was an absolute delight. Mari-Beth and her team at Dune Dwellings went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. Communicating with Mari-Beth was so easy and natural—it honestly felt like reconnecting with an old friend. She was kind, attentive, and incredibly personable, making the entire experience feel seamless and special. Mari-Beth truly sets the gold standard for what an Airbnb host should be. Her thoughtful touches and genuine care for her guests made this one of the best stays I’ve ever had. If you’re considering a place in the area, look no further—any listing hosted by Mari-Beth and Dune Dwellings is where you want to be. I know I’ll be booking with her again without hesitation the next time I’m in town!

ValpoVilla is so cute and close to everything! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

The space was clean, cozy, and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The drive to get there was absolutely lovely—scenic and peaceful, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Local food places were with 15 minutes and the hour drive to Chicago was not bad. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again! The communication with Mark was incredible very responsive and helpful.

We were very thankful for a quiet and clean place to lay our heads during our trip. It met our needs.

This is a very cozy cabin by a beautiful lake, featuring panoramic windows and lots of interesting interior details. The location is very convenient yet secluded from other houses. The only thing I didn’t realize when booking is that there are no doors. Just something to keep in mind when making your reservation. Thank you, Ryan!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! Jeannie was a great host and the cabin was well over our expectations! Check in was seamlessly and everything worked perfectly. The bunk beds were awesome and everything was clean, tidy and above our expectations. Jeannie also was very responsive during our stay and we had no issues. 100% would stay again.

It was a great stay at Kendall's place! It was clean and plenty of room for a one bedroom house. There are a ton of things to do right at the campground and the neighbors were very friendly. Close to Indiana Dunes and a short drive to other places of interest.
