Kid-friendly vacation rentals 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).

Very pleasant stay over Thanksgiving while visiting family. Quiet, peaceful lake setting (even though it was very cold out and no swimming in the lake at 20 degrees!).. It was a good place to rest after the noise and activity of our large family 3 day gathering!

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!

AMAZING LOCATION! I'd like to point out that I stayed in this location for a month. I'd also like to point out that I will be returning. This place was very clean, neat and newly renovated. I have a phobia of bugs and didn't encounter anything the entire stay. The neighbors were very nice. The block was peaceful and not to busy. Not to mention Nikki was the best host that I could've ever asked for. She was extremely responsive and very personable.

Anna’s place was very welcoming. It was a perfect place for our family to visit. We enjoyed the large yard. It was perfect for our dogs to play. Anna had dog biscuits and toys for our dogs. There was a walking path close by..We would definitely stay here again.

Area: secluded, yet within a quick drive to the city center of Valpo. This area of Indiana is great for its proximity to the Lake Michigan southern shoreline as well as Chicago. You can drive up to one of the South Shore line train stations and take the train in to Chicago to save yourself the headache of driving in the city. House: A beautiful property with view of the lake. Updated amenities, great dual shower in the master bedroom, and large with multiple bedrooms. Visiting from the noise and crowds of Manhattan, this quiet and peaceful property was a welcome respite. Host: Daniel was one of the most responsive hosts I’ve had the pleasure of working with. For example, he reached out to me to let me know the food I had ordered had been delivered to a neighbor’s house, and even let my local parents come grab a suit that I had left in the closet after a hasty departure to the airport. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Very clean, spacious, quiet and comfortable!!!

A wonderful place you stay with extended family! All you need for a comfortable experience.

Great location and nice place in charming downtown valpo. Perfect for visiting family. The welcome basket was a nice touch, the space was very well appointed and comfortable. We especially appreciated the kid-friendly supplies, great spot for families. The nearby rolling stone baker is worth checking out, as is birdies (the $10 happy hour burger is aces) and the blackbird cafe. Guests should be aware this a basement-level apartment, and while there is WiFi, your phone’s data service might be spotty.

Nice private, quiet place to stay. Stayed longer term due to construction job in the area. Diana was very accommodating and cleaned every week. Did linens, removed trash, provided snacks, water, coffee, etc. Very friendly and flexible. This place works well for me as a construction worker.

This was a great spot in the city for a weekend getaway or just passing through town. There are so many yummy restaurants, shops, city art and entertaining activities within walking distance! We definitely would ( and hope to) stay again! Thank you Shawn & Emily, for providing everything a guest would need to feel at home.

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.

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.

Great stay and host

This place is a gem! Great location, very safe, cozy atmosphere, lots to do! Treat yourself and book this condo - it's so wonderful!

Kristin’s place was incredible! Super clean, beautiful decor and I booked for the same day, snd she answered within 15 minutes. I switched to another condo in the same complex, but felt like hers had more amenities. Especially the timer coffee pot! What a treat it was to have fresh coffee when I got up. Coffee was there, along with creamer. It sounds simple, but it’s the attention to detail that made me love her place even more.

Dave made us feel right at home and answered any questions we had. His place is near restaurants and stores which were very convenient! It is also a 12 minute drive to the national park and there are so many places to check out. It’s about a 45 minute drive to Chicago and there’s a train nearby if you want to take that instead into the city. I highly recommend staying here Dave’s place was clean and he was an amazing host!

Great stay! So clean, comfortable, and looked just like the pictures. Easy to find and get in, clear instructions. Loved it!

This was a stunning condo with a view of the marina. I am a clean freak and this condo was impeccable. Above all, it was peaceful and truly relaxing. The host also answered questions within minutes!
