Pros: Quiet location, comfy beds, older home with character, plenty of towels, blankets, well-stocked kitchen, excellent owner communication, fast response time to issues experienced. Cons: lack of ceiling fans, (one in kitchen only) lack of air circulation, wet/dank basement smell throughout house, (To be fair, it had been raining a LOT) Regardless, there was questionable indoor air quality. Although plentiful, bath linens retain that house odor and are scratchy and need replacing. Two sink bathroom with one sink with very little water ouput-unusable. Shower pressure was great. Keurig was already filled with water upon arrival, charcoal filter appeared to need changing- did not use, because of this. Owner lives in CO, returns to area for visits, issues addressed in person by sister in law/brother. Sister in law said she did not smell the odor prior to our arrival, or while there, she removed and rinsed Keurig filter, offered her own drip pot, which I declined (as I had brought only K cups with me) She attempted to be helpful, address issues, and just must be used to the odor- as all four of us were very keenly aware of it. This is an older home just begging for some TLC to become a “5” rating, that cannot be achieved on sentiment alone. We appreciated the homey signage and tribute area to the previous owner- the current owner’s father. The home ultimately served our sleep needs for our last minute quick trip. The owners fees were reasonable, VRBO’s required fees were not

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your positive comments regarding the home's character, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, ample linens, peaceful location, and our prompt communication. We would like to clarify a few points for future guests. The home is equipped with multiple fans, including a ceiling fan in the kitchen/dining area, portable fans in the bedrooms, and an additional fan in the bathroom. In response to your concerns, we immediately arranged for a local family member to visit the property, evaluate the reported issues, and offer assistance. Regarding the coffee maker, the Keurig is a newer appliance and is routinely maintained. Water in the reservoir is not unusual, as it may be filled in preparation for arriving guests. Nevertheless, when this concern was raised, the filter was checked and cleaned, and an alternative coffee maker was offered. This is a historic farmhouse in a rural setting, and your stay occurred after an extended period of unusually heavy rainfall. Although our local representative and other recent guests had not reported the odor concerns described in your review, we took them seriously and made every effort to address them during your stay. We are proud that our guests have consistently awarded the home 5-star reviews and have enjoyed its unique character, country setting, and welcoming environment. We remain committed to maintaining and improving the property while preserving the charm that draws many guests to stay here.

Cozy & Scenic Stay Near Family – Beautiful Home with Charming Farm Views

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in La Porte while visiting family for a celebration of life. The fall colors were stunning, and the updated, clean home was the perfect retreat. We loved the unique experience of staying near a dairy farm, and the kids were thrilled to see cows up close! The thoughtful touches, scripture, and decor throughout made us feel truly blessed. This home is clearly well-loved and well-kept, and its proximity to our grandpa made it even more special. We’re looking forward to staying here again!

Relaxing at Grandpa's House

Our stay at Grandpa's House was relaxing and comfortable. It was the perfect house and location for visiting our family in La Porte, IN. I grew up in La Porte, and Grandpa's house felt like home. We enjoyed watching the cattle and wild turkeys out the back door. The house had everything you could want for your stay. It was clean with a very welcoming decor. We look forward to another visit to Grandpa's house. Thank you, Laurie, for sharing your beautiful home.

House is cute! Very accommodating host. We had no problems getting in or setup. It snowed and the driveway was clear the next day. There was ample dishes and some necessities in the fridge. The only things I noticed and the only reason I did 4 stars instead of 5 was that the bed in the room with the 1 queen bed was super squeaky. If you’re a light sleeper it’s distracting but if not then so worries. None of the inside doors have locks. Not a big deal but made my daughter uncomfortable. There is one bathroom sick of the two that barely has water come out. Again not a big deal.

A little home away from home

Being Florida residents, we travel to the Valpo area several times a year to see our children and grandchildren. We normally stay in hotels when visiting but this time, we chose the farm. What a fantastic decision!! The home is absolutely wonderful. It's clean, spacious and well organized. There are two good-sized bedrooms which were perfect for granddaughter sleep-overs. The kitchen had everything we needed from cookware to spices. There is a large pantry that was "stocked" with an assortment of things you don't think about when you're packing. My wife baked zucchini bread but didn't have enough flour to dust the pans. She checked the pantry and viola, there was flour. The living room was comfortable with a large TV (we watch a lot of baseball and hockey). There is a desk in one of the bedrooms where my wife set up her sewing machine for quilting. I set up my electric keyboard in the living room We had room for everything. The grounds were beautiful. The lawns were well kept and, oh, did I mention we were smack in the middle of a farm?!? Cows and roosters, acres of farmland with very little traffic. We really enjoyed taking our coffee on the back deck watching three young turkeys foraging every morning. Laurie was the perfect host. Easily accessible and responded with a sense of urgency whenever we reached out. It was a wonderful week. Best of all, we found our Indiana home away from home and will look to book there first whenever we leave sunny Florida.

I would definitely recommend this hostess. The location of the house was a little remote and there was a dairy farm right there and I thought that was kind of fun to be able to go out in the backyard and see the cows if there’s something different. The location was nice. It wasn’t far from town at all, but it was a remote enough that you were not surrounded by neighborhood. There was more than enough cooking supplies in the kitchen. I really liked the first aid kit that was there too, but I was just impressed with all of the extra things that they had in the house that a lot of these places I go to do not. I definitely would go again.

Dog Friendly - Would Stay Here Again

We found Grandpa's House on a working dairy farm, nestled in the Indiana countryside, to be clean, comfortable, and cozy. House is recently updated, and the decor is pleasing. The house has two bedrooms with three beds, a full bath with two sinks, a nice living room with television, DVDs, and streaming, and a large table in the eat-in kitchen. The kitchen's cooking area was roomy and well-stocked with gadgets and gear. The hot water was slow to get to the shower, but it wasn't an issue once it got there. Mudroom had a separate entrance handy for hauing photo and video gear in and out every day. We didn't use the washer or dryer, but it was nice to know they were available if needed. Half-bath in the mudroom felt like a luxury since all our houses are one bath. The kitchen was well-equipped. Good selection of small appliances. I did not find a blender but used a small food processor. The knives we found were usable. I have a collection of knives at home that I use for doing food photography, video, and writing, so admittedly, I'm a knife snob. Dinnerware and bakeware were all decent, and we found a pan that we loved - always a plus! The owner has provided everything we could require. Our dogs were thrilled with the basket of dog toys for playing. What a pleasant surprise! We had lots of gear to charge up every night and plenty of places to make that come together. I liked the runners and rugs on the flooring. We brought many rugs of our own to protect the floors and keep the dogs comfortable walking around, and with the rugs already in the house, they were right at home. I accidentally took one of the rugs when packing up to leave, and Laurie made it simple to pay for a replacement. We felt welcome like we were part of the local community while staying here. There was activity relating to the cows and harvesting on a working dairy farm. It felt familiar, like visiting the family farms in the Valparaiso area. People waved as they passed when we were sitting out front and walking dogs on a country mile stroll at the start and end of our long days. We did have one of the lovely cows come for a more personal visit, and the dogs loved that! We called the phone number in the kitchen and let them know one of the girls was visiting, and she was safely escorted back to the herd. Would Stay Again. We liked this property and appreciated the dog-friendly option. I almost wanted to keep it a secret because the dogs and people liked it so much.
