  If you are considering any other vacation spot, LOOK NO FURTHER. We stayed here over Thanksgiving vacation and had such an amazing, peaceful time. The property is quiet, safe, beautiful, and HUGE. We enjoyed taking our puppy on lease-free walks around the trails and loved wandering the property. The owners were extremely kind and professional. The house had everything you could possibly need, and more! Don't hesitate to stay here. I'm sure we will be back again!

  We enjoyed very much having our daughters wedding reception at Vermillion Farm. The place worked great for us. The location was beautiful, affordable and Leslie worked hard to make sure our event was everything we hoped it would be. The house made a perfect perparation area as almost all of us were from out of state. Having the wedding party stay overnite made it especially nice. Thank you Leslie.

  If you want peace and serenity, but still want to be close to restaurants and other conveniences, this is the place. The property is endless & there are plenty of trails to explore. (It would be nice to have use of a golf cart for young children or those who aren't physically able to walk to trails). There is a charming bench swing out back that can fit 2 or three people. The house is a ranch style home with plenty of space for family & friends to share. You can sleep up to 8 people. It is super clean and the decor is very eclectic, ranging from vintage and handmade furniture to modern design. The main floor bathroom is spacious and clean with a vintage tile floor and subway tile. There is a tub/shower combo and everything was crisp and clean. The bathroom in the partially finished basement has a modern, spa-like feel and has a walk in shower with a glass enclosure allowing you to look outside the window and enjoy the view while you take a relaxing shower. There is also a seating area in the basement that has a comfortable leather sofa and chair/ottoman as well as a flat screen television & DVD player for enjoying a movie night or catching the news if you wish. (The only drawback in the basement were some black ants that bite & a spider or two.) Upstairs on the main level there is a gorgeous dining table with seating for 6 adults and also a childs table with a couple of chairs. The kitchen is amazing with plenty of cabinets and drawers with everything you could possibly need for cooking a great meal. Off the dining room is a small reading room with a sofa bench to curl up and read a great book. The living room is large and has plenty of windows to provide you with sunshine and panaramic views. The vintage radio is on one side of the living room with a modern leather chair/ottoman and a wooden rocker to sit and relax while you listen to music. The other side of the living room has two sofa benches and a retro chair as well as a handmade coffee table. Off the living room, there is a short hall to the bathroom and the master bedroom.The master bedroom is cozy and the platform bed is amazingly comfortable. There is also another bedroom off the far side of the living room that has two twin beds, great for kids. Explore the area and try dining at Industrial Revolution for great atmosphere & food. Tony's Pizza for great choices (even gluten free pizza) & delicious food when you don't feel like cooking. Overall a great location & enjoyable stay.

  Owner response: Thanks for the great review. We will make sure to take care of the basement. We try to use all natural cleaning products when we can, and sometimes a few bugs sneek in.

  My husband surprised me, and our little hound dogs, with a beautiful weekend getaway for my golden birthday. I had the most amazing time! The house and property were very beautiful. Our family had so much fun walking all of the trails and watching the sunset. Not to mention the owners were so friendly when they greeted us. I could not more highly recommend a stay at Vermillion Farm & Prairie. You will feel completely at home! We will definitely go back.

  This house was a perfect alternative to staying in a hotel. It was very clean and comfortable with all the charm of an old country farmhouse. Having the full kitchen and two bathrooms was convenient for our family of three. The grounds were beautiful - really enjoyed having coffee each morning overlooking the red barn and prairie. We want to repeat our visit again one day when we can stay more than a few days.

  What a GREAT place, it could not have been better. The entire family arrived for the week of graduation from Valpo University for my son. We had 7 adults stay at the place, including an 80 year old grandma! Everything worked well, the place was spotless, and the cooking was wonderful, we bar'b'qued often and entertained some of my sons friends at "The Farm". The roommates to my son loved the place so much they wanted to rent it for the upcoming school year!! Hard to impress 20 year old guys, but this place Did. Would HIGHLY recommend this unique place to stay, The trails were wonderful to use and we did everyday, COME AND ENJOY NATURE ! By the way, the interior is like it came out of an architectural digest, absolutely marveolous.

  We recently stayed here and loved it. The two bedroom was perfect with two adults and two teenagers. We enjoyed walking the trails, seeing deer and raccoons and the beautiful scenery surrounding the home. It is very peaceful but not far from downtown Valparaiso where there is a lot of shopping, music and dining!

  2 Babies + 3 Nights + 5 ladies = 1 lovely Memorial Day Week-end stay In Valparaiso! We couldn't have asked for anything more. The wonderful old/new farm house has a large kitchen, with all of the necessary dishes and tools to cook good meals. The dining area has a big, homey table and many windows looking over the lawn and woods. Nice, clean and comfortable beds. My sister-in-law enjoyed walking on the trails, every day. The owner was kind and helpful. I'd absolutely recommend it to my friends and return, myself, if we have the opportunity to be in Valparaiso again.

  My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights. We were so pleased with this place. It was clean as a whistle. The kitchen was so well equipped we both said it was better than home. There were lots of toys and puzzles to keep the kids busy. The beds were comfortable. Our host was very accommodating and gracious. She went out of her way to help us be comfortable. The house is surrounded by acres of grassland and woods with trails going through. It felt like we were way out in the country, but downtown Valpo was 5 minutes away. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone wanting to spend time in the area.
