Kylie R. Aug 25, 2024 08:26:23 PM
Summary: The house was beautifully decorated with more than enough space for our 11 guests. Location was a bit industrial compared to my normal preference, but was centrally located for what we wanted to do, and very close to the train station for commuting into Chicago.

Summary: Met description. Loved having fenced in backyard for littles. Only issue is downstairs had to be extremely cold so upstairs could be cool to sleep.

Mercedes P. Jul 10, 2024 11:26:42 AM
Summary: Home was decorated very nicely and lots of attention to detail. Perfect location to the lake, nearby dunes, and MI. The home had everything we needed- super comfy and lots of space for our family. Hosts were quick to respond for a few questions we had. Wonderful experience.
Patsy Y. Jun 26, 2024 06:39:35 AM
Summary: Place was very nice and accommodated the 7 adults and 2 children. I like the big dining table where we all could sit and enjoy each other company whether eating, talking, and playing board games/cards. Outside patio was nice and spent quite a bit of time there. Even though we were in a heat wave the patio was shaded and pleasant. The upstairs was nice for kids as there was another TV where they could enjoy if they didn't like what was on downstairs TV. We would consider staying here again but we always like to travel to different places for our family vacation.

Summary: The Captain’s House is centrally located. Very easy to go to Washington Park beach or the zoo. The Indiana dunes parks were great. You can hop on a train for a day trip to Chicago. Several disc golf courses nearby. Our party of 8 had a great time.

Summary: The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything you could need. We appreciated the mirrors in every bedroom and vanities to get ready at. The beds were also very comfortable. The backyard with the fire pit was nice to hang out at night. Good location in town and not too far from the beach. Perfect getaway for a girls trip!

Summary: This lovely home was the perfect place for our family vacation with our four adult children, spouses, and a fiancé. There is plenty of room and everything was well stocked and clean. We enjoyed an evening walk to the harbor. It was lovely. This historic home felt very warm and inviting. The hosts quickly responded to questions and were very kind. We would highly recommend the Captain’s House.
