Super nice!

Wanted to stay close to the beach for a swimming tournament in Hobart and this house was perfectly located to both. Kitchen was perfect with everything I needed to cook for 3 days. Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable.

We would stay again

Nice location to base a visit to Indiana Dunes National Park. Plenty of room for our 3-person family get-together and a short walk to the beachfront. Appreciated the fenced yard for the dog. We had a car issue and found a friendly neighbor who loaned us what we needed to solve the problem!

Wonderful cozy home near the shore

We wanted a quick 3 day getaway for fall break and decided to rent a home instead of a hotel. This house was perfect. Tom our host met us there and walked us through the property. Although a little older the wood floors, cozy environment and bedrooms were charming. The house has smart tvs so it was no problem linking into our favorite streaming apps to watch a movie. The fireplace outside was perfect for the crisp look October evenings and Tom made sure we were fully stocked with firewood. One of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Super clean, comfy and the beds were perfect. Would stay here again for sure!

Exactly what we wanted!

I wanted a place to stay while visiting both Indiana Dunes National Park and Chicago. This was the perfect place. Driving to both the state park and national park was very easy as both were very close. We were able to spend several days hiking. Then we used the South Shore Line to go into Chicago to do some sightseeing and visit museums. The place was clean, cozy, with all the amenities that were promised.
