About this property

A cozy home between the Indiana Dunes and town of Chesterton.

Right in-between The Dunes National Park and downtown Chesterton, you will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located home. Things to look forward to: Less than 10 minutes to the Dunes and beaches or head 3 minutes the other way to downtown for food, drinks and plenty of small town fun. This charismatic home greets you with all new furniture, front porch, HUGE fenced yard, and local decor. You will fall in love with this family town so bring the kids!

Wonderful home and host!
My husband and I and our two small fur babies were in need of a local home to rent while our new home was being remodeled. This home fit our budget and location was a wonderful area to be since it was near the lake and all kinds of places to eat, hike and work. The home was well stocked with the necessities of what is needed and a huge fenced yard for our little dogs. Our host Andrew was always available and answered our needs immediately. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Smith

Host profile image
I am a Chicago native and entrepreneur. I have 2 dogs and 2 children as part of my family and we love to travel and hike. I'm always looking for a good cup of coffee in the morning and a new beer to taste with dinner!

Why they chose this property

I chose Chesterton/Porter because it has a great small town feel. Between the local breweries/winery and all the small family owned businesses, I love making connections with all the people that make this town so cozy. I also find it to be a hidden gem so close to such a great National and State park.
