Great home for a great vacation!

We had such a great time here! It was the perfect size with many more beds/places to sleep than we even needed. The kitchen was well-stocked, the backyard was great, and we loved being able to take our dog with us. We loved that we were within minutes of both grocery stores, places to eat, and the beach. The host always responded promptly and was extremely accommodating. We would definitely stay again!

Clean, Cozy, and Close to the City

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!
