This place was great. It was very spacious, clean, and close to restaurants and grocery stores. The host was very communicative and answered any questions we had very quickly. The house was easy to find and parking was right in front of the house. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.

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!

Perfect Getaway in Chesterton

Or stay at this charming three bedroom house in Chesterton was absolutely delightful. The Home was clean and thoughtfully furnished, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen made meal preparation a breeze and the spacious living area were perfect for family gatherings. The location is quite ideal, walking distance to coffee, shops and restaurants and a nice park. It’s a short drive to the stunning Indiana dunes national park and beautiful Lake Michigan. Chesterton is a lovely town with charming shops and excellent dining options. Our host was incredibly responsive and accommodating ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation in the Chesterton area. We would love to return in the future.

Short Family Stay

We enjoyed having a family meet-up at the Dunes Home. The days ended up being extremely rainy, so we didn't have the chance to enjoy the backyard or visit the Dunes. The location was so close to downtown, so the adults were able to go down and sample at the winery. House had great accommodations for us to fit in comfortably and cooks and eat in-house. .

We very much enjoyed our stay in Chesterton at the Dunes House. Our host was always available to respond if I had a question. The accommodations were excellent lots of comfy beds, a beautiful private outdoor space with a cozy atmosphere and a fire pit. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and some complementary goodies from our host. We felt quite spoiled. Thank you, Eddi.
