Great Location, Very Dirty
We stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights over the weekend. The location was what we were looking for - in the woods. It was perfect for bonfires and the fall festivities in the area. That being said, we knew we were going into the woods so we figured there would be bugs, spiders, some general uncleanliness of being in a wooded area. But, the lack of cleanliness in the house made us leave almost immediately the last day. I have a three year old nephew who walked barefoot in the house and his feet were black from the first day. The floors were filthy and the bathroom was atrocious. Again e knew we were staying in the woods, but there was nothing even wiped down or dusted. We couldn’t open the windows because of the filth and we had to have the AC on during chilly nights in October because of that. We wouldn’t stay here again.

Nice Place to Stay
I stayed two nights with my 10-year-old daughter. The wooded setting near the lake is nice (though there's no access to the lake); the fire pit in the yard is great; the beds were comfortable (though you might want to bring your own pillow if you like firm); the amenities were just right; and the location between Valparaiso and Indiana Dunes National Park is perfect.

Nice property but not clean
I first entered and put things into the kitchen counter and found that the matt in front of sink had a sticky spot. Wanted to open windows and see the beautiful view but half would not open and they were so dirty that you really could not see much. Mentioned that a keurig was available for use but it had water sitting in it so not usable. Decided to clean the regular coffee maker and found a bug inside. The information about food and delivery was not up to date. We barely had time to unload and sit down for a minute before receiving a text about cleaning before we leave. It was cleaner when I left, than when I arrived. I find it unacceptable to pay a cleaning fee and have to clean up myself.

Easy, Clean, and Scenic
We enjoyed our short stay very much. It was so nice to cook a homecooked meal after eating out for several days while staying in Chicago. We enjoyed having the opportunity to spread out and clean clothes. The area was beautiful and the house was very clean. We spent the evening playing games in the living room as it was spacious enough for all of us.

Black cabin getaway
Our stay at Black Cabin was great! It’s in a very quiet location and has an awesome back deck and fire pit. We really appreciated all of the amenities that Eddi included; we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a hotel room this may not be the right choice for you. But if you’re looking for a quiet cabin like location that is close to all Valparaiso has to offer, I think you’d like this spot as much as we did. Eddi was a great host and easy to communicate with.

Cabin on Flint Lake
We loved the Cabin on Flint Lake! Beds were comfy and very clean. No weird or musty smells. The kitchen was STOCKED! We had several people over throughout the week for a meal, and the kitchen was even better than expected. All appliances worked great. There was even an air fryer! Property owner provided everything you might need - laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoo, paper towels, utensils, spices, etc. Water pressure was excellent. A couple of reasons for 4 instead of 5 stars. Not the property owner's fault, but the road out to the cabin is TERRIBLE. If you're not used to Flint Lake roads, prepare yourself, A lot of potholes, and it can be precarious getting out onto the main road. Also, not a big deal, but we did not enjoy having to watch a YouTube video in order to be able to know how to work the door lock. Also had difficulty using the TV. The tech guy did come out to help us find the local channels, but we were only able to get them for about 30 minutes. I guess most people use their Netflix account out there, but we don't have one. All in all, excellent experience and would stay there again.
