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.

I’m really glad everything was as expected and that you enjoyed the location, easy access to highways and the train, and of course the nearby spots like George’s.

That’s a great review! It highlights the location, space, and amenities while hinting at the backyard’s potential for future stays. If you're considering ways to enhance the guest experience, adding a patio heater or cozy outdoor seating could make the backyard more inviting year-round. Would you like help crafting a thoughtful response to the guest?

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.

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!
