Swim Meet
We traveled for a long weekend to attend our son’s state swim meet. It was 20 minutes from this house, but well worth the drive for our family. Nothing fancy, but we slept 8 people (4 adults, and 4 kids ages 6-), and we were able to bring our dogs, as well. It was great to have the safe fenced in backyard for the dogs and a pet friendly property. Joe was a very accommodating host, and was always available if we had a question (the WiFi had to be reset a few times). We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Family Christmas in February
We celebrated our family Christmas here! The house had more than enough space for all 8 of us plus dogs! We enjoyed spending time in the large living room and playing games on the huge dining room table. Great location too! The dunes aren't far from the house, so we took advantage of that. Really beautiful in the winter! Would definitely stay here again!

Great time
We had a great time. House could use some touch-ups / updates, but it was in a safe neighborhood with a lovely walking and bike trail around the corner. The town was charming and very close to beaches and other fun things to do. The host was incredibly responsive and got back to us right away about a few issues that came up with the front door lock and AC.

The Property was very nice and clean and very well located to get to the Indiana Dunes; yet we found wet bed sheets in the dryer when we arrived.

Great Family Friendly Place
Great stay. My family stayed here for a beach vacation long weekend. Everyone was able to be comfortable in their own room with plenty of space in the dining area and living room for us all to hang out. I would stay again. The access code was a little tricky for us at first but then after we got the hang of it - there was no issues.

Pet Friendly - simple and clean
The fenced in back yard was ideal for traveling with a dog. Lots of space and a reasonably well equipped kitchen for a rental. Drive in is a bit concerning due to the climate in Gary, but once in Chesterton - this location was very nice and felt safe.
