Great location by Indiana Dunes park
We enjoyed the property. It’s nice to have a separate room for teenager. Our dog had a fence yard to roam around. The yard is small but just enough. Also, outside nice chairs and grill. It was clean and tidy. Very good place to stay. Highly recommended.

Older but updated townhouse
Overall, just what we expected based on the location in Chesterton. It worked really well for our needs!
Some negatives though- there was no grill in the backyard so don’t count on grilling (tiny tiny box in closet that may have been a very small grill but if that’s it, it shouldn’t even be mentioned), there is no hot tub/spa which was very disappointing, the backyard was not maintained so we couldn’t use it, the few pans in the kitchen needed to be cleaned before we used them, and you may want to think about including more pots/pans and certainly things like a cookie sheet and plastic/nonbreakable cups. We ended up buying disposable cups and borrowed pans/cookie sheets from family that live in Chesterton. The rest of the townhouse was up to par and worked very well for our family!
Very convenient for us and we will definitely look to stay here again the next time we’re in Chesterton. Thank you!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The Grill is located in the Garage box (we winterize every year) this is stated in the House Manual, the "tiny tiny box with grill is used as "beach grill" which you were able to take with you for sunset ;)
Thank you for your review. Your feedback helps us do better.
