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 the 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.

What makes this property unique

This home is dog themed from the wall paper to the unique photos on the wall. It will come setup with dog beds, dog bowls, a leash, poop bags, and some toys for your best friend! Since the dunes are such a good place to talk your pup for a walk and explore, I decided to offer a unique stay that treats both you and "mans best friend"!
