About

Once the beloved Long Lake Hotel, the 6,000 sq ft property now hosts unforgettable family vacations and milestone celebrations—all with the charm of a bygone era and the convenience of modern amenities.

Located in Valparaiso, Indiana, we’re a hidden gem just over an hour from Chicago—easily accessible from Midway (53 miles), O’Hare (75 miles), and South Bend (57 miles) airports. Our guests often come from the greater Chicago area, Northwest Indiana and Southwest Michigan seeking a convenient escape that still feels tucked away.

The home sits on 2 acres with gardens and mature trees, 150 feet of lakefront, a private beach and expansive indoor/outdoor entertaining space. It comfortably accommodates up to 30 guests, making it perfect for week-long stays with extended family, bridal parties or weddings.

While the lake and property offer tranquility, you're never far from what you need. We're just 12 minutes from downtown Valparaiso and even closer to grocery, liquor and other essentials. Valparaiso itself is known for its lively dining scene, boutique shopping and seasonal festivals, and we're only 12 miles from the Indiana Dunes National Park, State Park and the Lake Michigan shoreline.

Nestled on the shores of Long Lake in Valparaiso, Indiana, Long Lake Memories is a historic estate turned short-term rental and event destination.
