About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Tohtz

My husband and I love to travel! Since our kids are grown and living on thier own, it is a perfect time for us to spend the summer in our camper visiting many of the beautiful state and national parks this great country has to offer. Instead of leaving our home empty, we thought we would allow others to come and enjoy what northwest Indiana and the Indiana Dunes State and National parks have to offer!

Why they chose this property

We love how close we are to Lake Michigan, the train line to Chicago, and the small towns nearby. There is more than corn in Indiana!

What makes this property unique

The back portion of the home used to be a carriage house for another property next door. In the 1940's it was converted to a small 1300 square foot home. The large deck at the back of the property was the original deck connected to the small home. Around 2010, a whopping 3500 square foot plantation/modern style addition was put on the front portion of the home, making this a nearly 5000 square foot house. The center point of the addition is the massive stained glass window over the oversized marble and black walnut fireplace and 30 foot ceilings. The main staircase railings were designed and custom built using metal and black walnut. The black and white checkered floor inside the front door is another unique feature. The front second story patio connects to the game room and to the primary bedroom. The primary bedroom has a second private patio at the back of the house. There is also a screened in room off of the dining room and living room, and a massive outside patio for entertaining.
