Very pleasant stay
Me and my significant other wanted a nice little getaway from life. Being only 20 years old it’s so hard to find that. I’m so glad we were able to book. We didn’t bring our fur baby but if we did she would have loved it and the house kept us thinking of her. The location is perfect your 5-10 minutes from the store and the dunes and beach. We were able to zip from the house to the beach to back home to eat and everything being so close made doing things less of a hassle. The host responded very timely with us and made sure we were comfortable and able to get ahold of them if we needed. The house was also very clean and cozy!!

Great stay at the Dunes
Our stay was a weekend family trip- our first trip traveling with our pups. It’s not easy to find a place that will allow two large Labradors but this house was perfect! The dogs loved the large fenced yard and all the places to chill inside, and we appreciated the little details (the guestbook photo wall was adorable).This location was easy access to hiking and beach time in the state and national park while still having the quiet of a neighborhood. We loved visiting the farmers market and restaurants in downtown Chesterton and could easily hop over to Valparaiso and Michigan City for a little more nightlife (while knowing the pups were safe in a comfy space).

Perfect location around 10 minutes or less to both Dunes parks, restaurants, and retail. Great little house for a couple or small family and their pet. Quiet, safe, well maintained neighborhood.

Great location, great for dogs
This home is in a great location, close to shopping and restaurants, and the Indiana Dunes National Park. The house was clean and met our needs perfectly. We ate breakfast there and then packed a lunch to take with us to the Dunes. We had 2 dogs with us and the backyard was plenty big for them to explore. Everyone had a great time! We loved the doggie decor.
