Family Retreat-Beachwalk-Grill-AC-Free WiFi-Pool Table-Bikes-Grill-Golf Cart

The perfect fairy tale home at the Beachwalk. Completed in May 2017, Valhalla sleeps up to 11 with 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths. You can unwind after a day at the beach in the sports-themed basement that features a wet bar and pool table amidst sports memorabilia or entertain in the Viking-themed main floor. Enjoy an evening around the fire in the shared fire pit. Stocked with games, books, and movies, the entire family will be entertained in this new gem in Lake Michigan's premier vacation resort. For larger parties, you can rent along with the adjoining Troll's Den, which sleeps 6. A golf cart is available. Come check out this beautiful and unique property!

From the Friday before Memorial Day through October 1, there is a 3-night minimum and all guests must purchase resort passes, which cost $15 per person. There is a $5 parking cost per car.

Cleanliness has always been a top priority for our company. Our cleaning and infection control processes were put in place so that when you visit our homes at the Beachwalk, it's both safe and comfortable.

All cleaning fees are baked into the nightly rate.

Please note that we maintain a smoke-free and pet-free environment.

We will continue remote check-in/check-out procedures, but as always will be available to take your calls, answer any questions, and provide the overall great service you have come to expect. Early check-ins or late check-outs will be allowed when possible and will be charged at the hourly average of the nightly rate.

Short family spring break trip

Nice stay. The resort and town were sparsely populated in late March. But we enjoyed the house and town and took a day trip to Chicago and another day at Indiana Dunes National Park for a hike.One heads up: there is another house on the next street with the same house number as you approach Valhalla. Look for the dark green house on the left ( not the light green house on the right).

A great Thanksgiving Venue

The home and surroundings were fine. The hosts were helpful and attentive. It was cold so the porches and outdoor areas were not used. The bedrooms and bathrooms were ample and interesting. We could have used a little larger area for dining but it worked out well. A fabulous opportunity for a family holiday. Thank you.Ample supplies and small touches. Our guests were so happy!

Cozy Resort Home by the Beach

We enjoyed our location. We could walk to the Beach, pool, small park. There were many things to do included in our rental…corn hole (which we played!) bikes, golf cart. Anders and Joolz were fine hosts. We all agreed that we would love to come back. We had plenty of space to cook, watch football games on Sunday and just chill and catch up.
