About this property

The Waverly Retreat

Located an easy 1.6 miles to Indiana Dunes State Park, 2 miles South of Porter Beach, not even a mile from the South Shore train station with direct access to downtown Chicago, and 2 miles from the historic downtown Chesterton. This house has access to everything you could ask for. Not only is the location perfect if you want a relaxing weekend at the beach or some active hiking days on the many miles of trails, but the house itself is cozy and convenient with all the comforts of home.

Great Place!
This is a great place to stay if your visiting Indiana Dunes NP! The house is located in a quiet little neighborhood in the center of the park so you are close to the east or west side of the park. It is also right around the corner from the visitors center. The house is super cute with 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom is huge with a bathroom with heated floors! It was clean with pretty much everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Kayla the owner is super sweet and answered any question I had within 10 min. Great communication! She added a grill which was nice and I would recommend staying here with family or friends. Thank you!

ND Game
Plenty of room and very clean. We enjoyed the back deck for cards on a beautiful evening. Wished the weather had been better so we could have had time to see the beach/dunes but the house was a perfect split between Chicago and South Bend.
