The Hruby Doobie Doo Ranch

Latitude change at the secluded rustic Hruby Ranch where 50 acres of private land await you. Experience the freedom of Ranch life in our spacious with soaring ceilings fully equipped unit. Explore miles of trails. Visit Alpacas, goats, a peahen, ducks, chickens, deer, wild birds and much more. Complete the day under the large pavilion at the fire pit. Located 12 minutes from I 65 and 15 minutes from downtown Crown Point and 20 from Valparaiso. 25 minutes from the Indiana dunes and Lake Michigan!
The space
50 minutes from downtown Chicago yet you’ll feel like a million miles away. You will be staying in our converted barn to apartment with 16 foot ceilings and exposed trusses. 30 x 40 foot open concept with a large loft. Full kitchen, bath, and laundry in suite.
Guest access
You will have access to the entire property. 50+ acres of woods and trails. There is a working stable with alpacas, goats and birds. All farm animal areas to include the stable and chicken coop require permission and accompaniment from myself or farm staff. Outside there is a large pavilion and fire pit which you are encouraged to enjoy.
Other things to note
The apartment is heated by a wood pellet fire stove. Cooled by a stand up electric A/C unit and fans.

There is no WiFi , cable or internet so you will have to talk to one another. Although we provide a large DVD selection and board games. This is a working farm and ranch. There may be farm staff and other guests and visitors from time-to-time during the day.

Our family, friends and I may be on premise and sharing outdoor spaces occasionally.

During summer months every Thursday there will be a summer camp kids field trip from 10 am to 3 pm outdoors utilizing the playground, sand volleyball court and outdoor spaces.

And if you choose to bring a pet, we are so excited to host your furry friend as well! A few things to remember for your pet's visit:
-Please keep your pet(s) leashed when in view of the farm animals. Even a doggy simply wanting to play could spook the animals and cause injury.
-We have a wonderful livestock guardian dog who calls the property home. Bailey is a big beautiful Italian Maremma and she has a very special job keeping all of her animal friends safe. A few things to know about Bailey:
1. She is contained by an invisible fence. A map of her area is provided.
2. Bailey LOVES to meet new people. She also occasionally loves to meet new doggy friends HOWEVER please keep your dog leashed and by the perimeter of the invisible fence if you choose to introduce your dog to Bailey. When in doubt it is always best to keep your pet out of Bailey's zone. Please remember you are responsible for your pet when inside the fence zone and for any accidents that may occur.
-When not in view of the livestock feel free to let your dog off leash!
-And of course please remember to pick up after your pet(s).
If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to ask! We look forward mto hosting your furry friends!

Gathering place in the country next to towns
The property is secluded but still close to town conveniences. Very pretty and surprisingly clean. Loved the pavilion and the lights at night. Some of the listing details and pics need to be updated but overall the apartment and property was a unique and comfortable stay, that provided just the right environment for my adult kids with their loved ones and I to gather and grill for the holiday. The portable air unit keeps the downstairs liveable during a 90° day but the upstairs as you'd expect gets hotter and is not ideal for sleeping after a hot sunny day but bearable. (Upstairs could use a better cooling unit). Still a very cool stay and I'd stay again!!!

Wonderful property: barn/ tent. Perfect for a quick road trip & relaxing. Unique items inside including a flat Stanley that must have ran away. Thank you!

The place was very clean and neat! Perfect for our 6 party group and had plenty of things to do in the area! I would check the fridge though it seemed to not be working, other than that everything was great

Great Family Rental
Great rental for us while visiting family nearby. My kids loved the animals and we enjoyed a beautiful day around the fire pit. Had extended family over for dinner and the covered pavilion was perfect for hosting a big group. Bailey (the dog) and Timothy (the cat) were also super host making sure we felt welcome at all times 😊

Amazing Place!
I can't say enough good things about this place or its owners! I live in Illinois and my children live in Indiana. We were looking for a private location in the Northwest Indiana area that was kid friendly. We found this amazing gem in not far from my kids location. Upon arrival the owners gave my children a private tour of all the animals and they loved it! The place was fully stocked and the property was left all to us to enjoy. I would recommend this place to anyone! Thank you to the owners of the property for allowing us to stay at your property. We had a great New Years celebration and made many memories here with our children.

Barn living
The living quarters in the barn was very cozy. Heat source was a stove pellet heater and the floor was very cold on your feet so please wear sleepers, if planning to make the stay in the barn. Located on a farm with live animals, dogs and a cat. The farm is very secluded and hard to find at night due to no street lights. Overall my family had a good experience and got to meet the owner who was as a very nice person. The property had a play set for small children, a bonfire area, hiking trails and a picnic area.
