The Space
Our apartment is located in our downtown commercial building a short walk to all the downtown activities, parks, dining, shops, taverns brewery, winery, and European market. It is only 3 miles from the sand beaches on Lake Michigan at the Indiana Dunes State Park and the hiking trails of the Duens State Park and Dunes National Park. We are 1 hour from Chicago and South Bend.

Please be aware the layout is that of a New Orleans style apartment. That means that there is no hallway. It flows from entry to living to dining to kitchen to bedroom to bathroom. One has to walk through bedroom to get to bathroom.

Other things to note.
This apartment is downtown Chesterton. As such, there is traffic and train noise that could disturb some guests. White noise and/or ear plugs really help. We provide ear plugs in the nightstand by the bed.
We use plug in Scents. Though most people like the fresh smell, we've learned that a few people are very sensitive and don't like them. If you want us to unplug them before your stay, just let us know.
Very budget friendly and located perfectly for what we wanted!
We got in late and left early because we were only passing through town and needed to rest before getting back onto the road.
Super cute little apartment close to downtown Chesterton. The jet tub and electric fireplace were great after a day of hiking and exploring all of the little shops.
Great property and experience. Hosts communicated very well.
I enjoyed my stay here, especially the comfortable mattress and jacuzzi tub to unwind and watch a movie at the end of the day. The living room, dining room, and kitchen had a strong ammonia odor that smelled like a cat had sprayed often for a long time, and then carpet and/or paint was put over it. I did not spend time in that area of the rental at all other than to heat up some food and eat it in the bedroom.
Thank you for a great stay!
My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this hidden gem on our travels and fell in love with this little town and it's surroundings! I wanted to bring her back to celebrate her birthday and brought her to their annual wine festival. Romantic vibes throughout. Everything was in walking location of the event and a short drive to many nearby attractions. Super fun packed weekend! We loved the vacation rental! Spacious rooms. Biggest rental the size of a one bedroom with plenty of amenities. I was impressed with the kitchen...a cooks best friend. Everything was already provided if we had decided to have a meal in. The spa tub with jets was a added bonus. Comfortable bed. Clean. We will be staying in the future. Don & Kim were great. Everything went smooth! Thank you for a wonderful experience...
Thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi tub while watching a movie and eating dinner. The bed was very comfortable. I appreciated previous reviews of the musty smell and noise of trains. We came in and immediately opened the windows and enjoyed the sound of the trains. Only had a few hours at night to enjoy a few of the local bars. Wish we would have had more time to experience the town. We did get to enjoy a few hours the next morning at the National Park. Hosts were very accomodating to our needs, highly recommend.
The place is quirky, in a good way, and very comfortable. Location is terrific for the State Park Beach. I’m sure fitter people will enjoy what the national park has to offer. Nearby restaurants are wonderful.
Cute little apartment perfect for a couple to enjoy for the night. We enjoyed the jacuzzi tub and fireplace with it. Easy location and hosts were super good with communication. Great location close to the dunes.
Don was super responsive, easy to work with, and a great host. Neat little town, and though the trains are a bit much at night if you’re not used to them, they are what makes the town unique. Close to the small, vintage shops and local eating places, too!
We needed a place to stay near Indiana Dunes National Park and this little place fit the bill. We enjoyed walking into the little downtown area to eat dinner and even did a wine tasting. Spent a lovely day on the beach (?!) The little second hand/antique shop 2 blocks away is worth visiting and the coffee at The Red Cup was excellent. We visited the Duneland Distillery and had a huge breakfast at Blueberry Hill Pancake House in Portage. I am very sensitive to smells and the apartment had a musty/moldy smell to me. This would probably not bother most people and was minimized by keeping the windows open. The apartment is adjacent to a martial arts studio, but nothing was going on while we were there. Also be aware of the MANY trains that run through the center of this little town at all hours. We were happy that we had brought our earplugs and the owner thoughtfully provides them for guests who may not travel with them.
Everything was easy! Place was clean and comfortable! Perfect for a quick get away!
My wife and I absolutely loved this place! We don't even want to tell anyone about, we just want to keep it to ourselves. ? Just kidding. It was perfect for a romantic getaway. We loved the location and the town. It was a nice quiet neighborhood with close access to everything. We'll definitely be back in the summer!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!
This property was very clean, comfortable, and in a great location! The owners were great with communication and making sure we were comfortable. I would definitely stay at one of their properties again.
My boyfriend and I were looking for something different and romantic for New Year's Eve, and the jacuzzi and fireplace in the bedroom were perfect. Before our trip, I had asked if they had an iron, and they responded promptly that they do, but didn't have an ironing board. We didn't need an ironing board, but before I had a chance to thank them, I got another message saying they went out and bought an ironing board. That was completely unnecessary, but very appreciated! My only suggestion would be to add a few wine glasses and champagne flutes to the kitchen cupboards. Great stay overall!
