    The house was very clean and served us well. It was in a great walkable small town with plenty of good restaurants, and only a short drive to the dunes

    Everything was as described! House was in a great location (Go across the parking lot to George's for lunch if you're hungry). Easy access to all highways and the train into Chicago.Beds were comfortable. Everything worked as it should. Kind of wish there was a tv in the bedroom and the couch was kinda lumpy, but nothing that would make me change my rating.Overall was a great stay and we will definitely be back when we come to visit family.

    You can pack light as there are a lot of supplies in the home. The home is within walking distance to everything with exception of the grocery store and that is a 5 minute drive. Home was clean and property manager was responsive to our needs. Very friendly.

    Or stay at this charming three bedroom house in Chesterton was absolutely delightful. The Home was clean and thoughtfully furnished, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen made meal preparation a breeze and the spacious living area were perfect for family gatherings. The location is quite ideal, walking distance to coffee, shops and restaurants and a nice park. It’s a short drive to the stunning Indiana dunes national park and beautiful Lake Michigan. Chesterton is a lovely town with charming shops and excellent dining options. Our host was incredibly responsive and accommodating ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation in the Chesterton area. We would love to return in the future.

    We had a great stay at this rental during our weekend trip to Chicago! The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. It was the perfect home base—quiet and peaceful in Chesterton, but still within easy driving distance to the city and local spots like Indiana Dunes. The host, Eddi, was responsive and made check-in super easy. We really appreciated the cozy living spaces, and it was a great place to unwind after long days of exploring. Would definitely recommend this place to others looking for a mix of nature and city access!

    Great location. Central to all of Indiana Dunes National Park. Beware of the trains if you are a light sleeper. No issues sleeping after all the hiking we did though. Im very happy with the place

    This quaint house was perfectly located for attending the Trojan Classic showchoir competition. Plenty of room and nicely equipped. Though it was too cold to use the backyard it looked very nice.

    We enjoyed having a family meet-up at the Dunes Home. The days ended up being extremely rainy, so we didn't have the chance to enjoy the backyard or visit the Dunes. The location was so close to downtown, so the adults were able to go down and sample at the winery. House had great accommodations for us to fit in comfortably and cooks and eat in-house. .

    We very much enjoyed our stay in Chesterton at the Dunes House. Our host was always available to respond if I had a question. The accommodations were excellent lots of comfy beds, a beautiful private outdoor space with a cozy atmosphere and a fire pit. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and some complementary goodies from our host. We felt quite spoiled. Thank you, Eddi.

    A cute little house in walking distance to downtown Chesterton. Very close to the beach. Nice backyard with fire pit. The house is very small but had everything we needed. The house had a musty smell but we aired it off out by opening some windows and running the fans. A couple of the windows didn’t have screens and the window sills need a cleaning. The neighbors house has a lot of junk in the yard with people smoking. It was hard to tell if they were fixing up the house or if they were just messy. Overall the area was adequate for our needs.

    Very clean and in the heart of Chesterton. Walked to everything. Charming eclectic historic home with everything you need and lots of personal touches by the owner who thought of everything. Earplugs for the trains, but that’s the wonderful thing about Chesterton is hearing the trains. Also, snacks to get you started and anything you may have forgotten like a toothbrush is there for you. We will return, no doubts about it.
