Check out our Experiences All the bedrooms are on the second floor. There is a full bath upstairs and a full bath downstairs off the foyer. There is a large family room upstairs with the bedrooms as well as a balcony overlooking the farm. Guests may bring their dog but only after furnishing the necessary documentation stated in the House Manual. We do not accept cats or other animals. Smoking indoors is allowed, however, not in bedrooms. But in the interest of full discloser, this may not be your idea of heaven. You see, this farm is exactly what it says, a sanctuary. The dogs live in the house with us. They are not in kennels, or out in the barn, but with us every day for the rest of their lives. That being said, we can separate you from the dogs should that be your desire. But what we can't do is promise that you will never hear them or be confronted by an odor if one has an accident. We ask every guest to please let us know if there are any issues. We want every guest who loves dogs as much as we do to have the very best experience they can. And if we ask you when you are leaving if there were any issues, or suggestions, if you don't let us know, we can't very well make your experience better. Telling us it was too hot or too cold when you leave is not helping you or us when we can make an adjustment immediately. We have been fortunate to have been given 5 stars by most of our guests and we have had people who have only been passing through tell us that they would not only return but have our farm be their destination. This is a 10 Acre farm created for our rescue and sanctuary. We have a pond for fishing, a gazebo fully screened and furnished with chairs, love seat, couch, small refrigerator, table & chairs (in spring, summer & fall) and lighted ceiling fan. There are several seating areas outside and an area with chairs around a fire pit. In addition: we are an hour East of Chicago and an hour West of Notre Dame and we are 20 minutes North of Valpariso. Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is 10 minutes away. Someone will always be on hand to assist. We want all guests to understand when booking that their bedroom space can be free of dogs, however, there are 2 cats that live on the same level as the guests bedrooms and with required documentation guests can bring dogs.
