Perfect lil hideaway

This was a great place to call home for a few days with my spouse! Not far from the dunes, and the sounds of the shore are hard to beat. There’s a couple tips and tricks that would have helped to know, like not using other water when trying to take a hot shower in the house and turning on the sink in the bathroom to get it started. That didn’t make or break our stay and is workable as a whole.

Break from stress

This was the perfect house for a break from the stresses of everyday life. A calm, Zen-like atmosphere with a simple, yet intentional and functional layout made the house feel somehow bigger than it actually is. I can imagine in warmer weather the lake feeling like it's right outside the back door. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect vacation spot

We had a wonderful time at this cabin for our short summer vacation. Beds were comfortable and kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The lake was super clear! We explored the area along with both the Indiana Dunes State and National Parks, which were around 20-30 minutes away.

So peaceful and tranquil. The tub overlooking the lake was the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is stocked with spices and coffee for the Keurig. Plenty of pots, pans, and blenders for cooking to your heart's desire. We are glad that we chose this property for our getaway.

Indiana’s best kept secret!

Everything about this place is amazing. The listing does not do it justice. You feel out of the way but you’re right next to everything. Peaceful, breathtaking sunsets! Incredibly comfortable beds & bedding. I am so thankful I have accidentally stumbled across La Porte. Leaving this little slice of heaven was the hardest part. This was a stay I won’t soon forget! Thank you!

It was a great little house. Beautiful view of the lake right off back porch. There was a great paved walking trail right across the street that went around the lake. LaPorte seemed like a great town. Very friendly people. You must eat at Trattoria Enzo. Amazing!!

A Sweet Respite Spot

We took a short trip to plunk down by the water and celebrate our anniversary. The lake is beautiful and clear, and the proximity to Soldier's Park was great to take walks. The home itself has tight quarters, but perfect for a couple. Really all you need. The sun porch was great to sit, read, play the ukelele they had on premises (thank you for that!) and make up songs. We had some confusion about the portable dishwasher since we'd never operated one before, but the property manager was very helpful and quick to respond. It's a sweet little place!

Sunset Hideaway

The three day getaway at this fantastic property is just what my family needed. Plenty of water activity fun to be had. House is quaint but newly remodeled it seems and cute as a button. All household necessities one would require are provided. Paddle board and kayaks available for lake adventures. Sunsets are beautiful. Close to town but also tucked away enough to feel somewhat isolated from the city which is just a hop and skip down the road. Loved the retreat and would definitely stay again. I would highly recommend renting this gem for your next family vacation or friendly outing. Thank you and maybe see you again down the road sometime.

Cute property right on the water

The property was hard to find. Google nor Apple Maps could get us to the correct address - this was a little frustrating. Once we found it and got inside, we were pleased. It looked just like the photos; very clean. The WI-FI information was not updated in the guest info book nor communicated to us, so we had to reach out to the property manager. They responded quickly with the right password and we were then good to go. Check out instructions requested that we strip the bed, put all towels in the washing machine, and take out the garbage. We did all of this, but if we’re paying the “cleaning fee” this seemed a bit excessive. Overall, this was a good place to stay. It would have been even more enjoyable if we could have taken advantage of the outdoor area to enjoy being by the water, but it was an incredibly cold weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Ashlan Siford

Host profile image
My name is Ashlan and I'm the manager for the owner. I grew up in La Porte and often enjoy the outdoor parks that our city offers. I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee, running, and swimming. Not only am I a property manager, but I'm also a realtor! I love being a host because I get to share my sweet city with out of town guests and share what our hometown has to offer!

Why they chose this property

The beach and views is like no other. The fire pit, kayaks, and outdoor seating are my favorite features. The Jacuzzi tub overlooking the lake is so serene!

What makes this property unique

Although small, it's a beautiful little home in a great area. Being tucked in from Waverly Rd gives a little privacy, but the convenience of being close to restaurants and stores. It's hard to find a home on the beach to rent in this area! It's peaceful and romantic.
