    It SPARKLES! (if the sun is out). A really cool place to stop-by and take a few pics. This fits in perfectly with the growing artsy community in Miller Beach and reminds me of The Heidelberg Project in Detroit (look it up) where residents turned their homes into artwork and their street is now a tourist attraction. Apparently she rents it as an AirBnB too so I imagine the inside would be just as cute as the outside, if you're looking for a unique place to stay.

    Jennifer and her husband are AMAZING!! Driving by the Sparkle House has always sparked my curiosity. I've watched them create a masterpiece before my very eyes! The inside is just as intriguing as the outside and is filled with artwork beyond the average imagination. If you are in the area, swing by and experience it first hand. If you're not from the area and will be visiting, book a stay and you'll love every moment!

    The Sparkle House was a stop for our conference. Everyone was in awe of the work taking place. We were even able to create our own bottle wall. Definitely worth a visit.

    Great to see inside Sparkle House, which was open to the public for info session with David Gearman running for 1st District here in Gary. Super venue with lively creative energy!

    Where do I even begin to review The Sparkle House? The pictures just don’t do this property justice. In the light of a fair review, I need to begin by stating that this was my first ever experience with Air BNB. Unfortunately for everyone else, Sparkle House has set the bar incredibly high! The house and grounds in itself are literal works of art. You look and look and when you think you’ve seen it all, you look again and find something else. The art within, I could feel their joy and pain collectively. I loved painting, enjoying the outdoors and spending quality time with my people. Everything you need is inside and there are so many things surrounding you to keep you busy. I was happy to see, after reading reviews, that a couch and television had been added though I think I only switched on the TV once while my companions were napping. There were more trains than I thought there’d be. Lots of them. Earplugs are provided in your rooms. Use them. I’m a light sleeper with two kids suffering from FOMO. I slept in the bed closest to the train with the ear plugs and didn’t wake up once. Sparkle House gets warm! I’m from an area with low humidity and dry heat, Indiana summer was not nice to me, haha! I don’t think I quit sweating until the sun went down but it goes with the territory of staying in a working art studio. There are fans everywhere and once we found a good set up with them, we thrived. As a larger person, the bathroom made me uneasy. I felt like I was going to fall through the floor when I sat on the toilet or used the shower. It’s all likely in my head because I’m excessively hard on myself but that’s the only drawback I had here. I wouldn’t have chosen to stay anywhere else. This place is fantastic and I hope to come back! The house is clean, the neighbors are kind and quiet and I’m a real sucker for a screened in patio. The hammock was delightful and I can’t wait to see the finished window house! If you find yourself in the Chicago area but don’t want to pay Chicago prices, come here. It’s such a feast for the eyes and a break for the soul. I would have loved to meet the owner and artist of this bnb, they seem like they’d be amazing to have a conversation with. I found so much humor in the line on the rule board regarding the mosaics. “Edges are sharp, please do not touch. (There are bandages in the medicine cabinet)”. It made me chuckle.
