Victorian Grace in LaPorte

We passed through LaPorte on our way to N. Michigan for one night only, and this listing made it very reasonable to do for our family of six. The fees were very reasonable making it a better value than multiple hotel rooms. Claudia couldn't have been more gracious and we were able to enjoy the nearby main strip and Pine Lake views during our short stay. The house has been well restored and the kids found it very interesting. Enjoy!

Fantastic!

Stayed for a long weekend with my groomsmen/groomswomen for my wedding! The place was absolutely lovely. It was clean, the house is bigger than it seems in the pictures, and Claudia (owner) was super kind and thoughtful. She gave us a wonderful tour of the place when we first checked in and made sure we knew that if we needed literally anything, all we had to do was reach out. Definitely recommend!
