The house was very comfortable and convenient to the places we wanted to visit. It was great having a gas station and Dollar General right down the road, too! Kayla was quick to respond to our questions, and she was very sweet. We would highly recommend home!

The home was welcoming and clean! The outside porch area was so cute and fun. My 3 year old loved the deck swing. Near by tons of fun beaches and hikes. Communication was fantastic throughout the whole process. Felt like home, but even more relaxing. Would stay over and over again! Loved all the extra amenities, like a booster chair for my little one too! Very thoughtful.

This home is cozy, and an excellent example of well used space. We had two littles with us and they had attachable eating chairs, a railing for the bed and the home was very family friendly. The home is in a safe area and AMAZING LOCATION. Park, beach, liquor store, trails, gas, dollar tree, cute towns, food, I mean you name it, it’s close by. The outside porch and fenced in area was also perfect and very safe for young kids. Lastly, the homeowners were EXTREMELY helpful and quick to respond. Perfect price for a wonderful place.

Daughter's Wedding Weekend We rented this beautiful home for my daughter's wedding weekend at the Allure. It was clean, well laid out, and extremely convenient to the venue. Kayla, the owner, was beyond wonderful. She was quick with her responses and helpful in providing suggestions to my inquiries. She always ended her responses by saying, "Let me know if there is anything else I can answer or do for you." The master bedroom made the perfect backdrop for pictures with my daughter's wedding dress and the jacuzzi was an unexpected reward after a long day of celebrating. This house has a wonderful back patio and enclosed patio with a swing. I just wish we would have had more time to enjoy it! My daughter's wedding was PERFECT and the icing on the cake for us was that the Waverly Retreat and Kayla were too!

Great Stay! This house was the perfect location for us to explore Indiana Dunes National Park. Clean & comfortable. And our host was wonderful. She replied to our every question within minutes. A great place to relax after hiking the dunes and enjoying the beach.

Perfect family weekend getaway Stayed here for a long weekend trip with the family and we absolutely loved our stay! Home was very comfortable and cozy! It had everything we needed and super close to the dunes! The owner was also absolutely wonderful! Had a minor issue and not only did the owners come to help first thing in the morning they brought us donuts as well. I will definitely come back here next time we visit!
