Our home is recently updated and furnished in a mid-century modern style. brbrFor ALL bookings, included in your stay is a FREE week-long pass to access the expansive Indiana Dunes National Park system. Our part of the national park is also open to visitors for free just by walking across the street.brbrOur home is exceptionally designed and well-equipped with easy access to the beach, Indiana Dunes National Park, Indiana Dunes State Park, and Chicago. Check out our Indiana Dunes Home youtube video for a quick tour.

We provide bird books and binoculars. You can often hear the waves of the lakeshore on the front balcony and the master bedroom.brbrThe landscaping surrounding the house, while appearing like it's just part of the park, is surprisingly intentional. A naturalist regularly comes to remove invasive species and spread native seeds. The plants attract birds, wildlife, and many butterflies. The dune grass hosts regular visitors like deer and other wildlife that traverse our backyard.brbrOur house has sound-isolating construction-- We rarely, if ever, hear sounds from our neighbors' homes. Our neighbors help keep an eye on things... we are a generally quiet group and hope for the same from our vacationers.brbrWith a garage and driveway, parking is suitable for 2-3 cars. Children are welcome but must be supervised on the balconies and patio.brbrA fire bowl is available for your use and , for the beach, we have a small beach wagon with camp chairs, beach toys, and a beach blanket available. Store your toys i.e. bikes/kayaks, beach gear, etc in the garage.brbrThe National and State Parks and the quick access to the beach make us a spectacular choice. The parks are incredibly biodiverse (in the top 10 for all national parks) and offer so many opportunities to explore nature in many ways. The Park Service describes it better than I can: The continuously changing dunes play host to the abundant natural beauty of rare birds (many rare), abundant wildlife and beautiful hiking duneland trails. Hidden within urban neighborhoods in the Miller Beach section of Gary are pockets of natural land – high dunes, oak forest, wetlands, and wooded ravines. Lake Michigan can be seen from many high vantage points in the park and many rare plants cling to survival on these sandy acres. The park also hosts rare birds and endangered species of plants and animals.brbrOur home is smack in the middle of the state, national, and county parks that extend in pockets from Michigan City westward to Gary. All of them have beaches with varying have boat, kayak, and water-sport launches. We have great access to Wells street and West Beach. Wells Street is a popular location for locals and hosts a pavilion and concession stand and West Beach is the best off the beaten path -- walking into the beach is the best way to avoid crowds and to experience the best beach in the area. West Beach is part of the National Park and it is patrolled and cleaned of litter regularly.brbrNational Park rangers at West Beach guide through the dunes and the park almost daily in the summer months.brbrBeyond the beach...brChicago -we are close to the south shore train station that will take you to downtown Chicago in less than an hour. Driving downtown is also quick and easy. We are happy to help you navigate and provide an overview of your options for touring Chicago. brbrFor the kids or kid at heart: visit the Bailly Chelburg homestead or take on the ranger challenge to climb the 3 tallest sand dunes; You can also do some seasonal stargazing and participate in naturalist hikes just for kids. In addition, the national park has birding backpacks available for all ages containing books and binoculars that can be checked out at five of their area offices. brbrBiking is also a popular activity: the trails are crushed gravel so require a little heavier tired bike. We love cyclists.... if you have specific needs for bicycling, please let us know. We are very experienced long-distance cyclists and can help you with specific arrangements for cycling. Three dutch cruiser bikes are stored in the garage and available for your use. Special arrangements for fewer days can also be made for those who are passing through on their bikes.
