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.
