SLEEPS 16 Roomy Home 2mi- Beach & Chesterton, Yard, Fire Pit, Grill, Game Room

Only two miles from the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, "The Nook" of the Indiana Dunes is your family's special place to stay. Sitting on over an acre of land in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, the back yard has space to play, view wildlife, and gather around the rustic fire pit to enjoy evenings with the family. Conveniently located near Highways 20 and 49, The Nook's location is excellent for pleasing a variety of vacationers in all four seasons with nearby beautiful hiking trails, biking trails, Indiana Dunes State Park and National Park, the South Shore train station (for an easy ride to Chicago), the quaint and charming town of Chesterton with its unique shops and eateries, and of course Lake Michigan's famous sandy beaches.
Originally a farmhouse built nearly 100 years ago, The Nook combines that cozy farmhouse feel with modern comfort. The one-of-a-kind layout of this home is well-suited for two families to vacation together. When you are not dining in the nearby restaurants, enjoy cooking and eating in the roomy, well-equipped kitchen. Bring some charcoal and enjoy grilling out with the backyard park-style charcoal grill.
When a rainy day keeps your family from enjoying the outdoors, head on over to the game room above the garage for a round of ping pong or video games.
YOU CAN START YOUR VACATION OFF RIGHT WITH AN EARLY 1:00 PM CHECK-IN. TAKE YOUR TIME GOING HOME WITH A 1:00 PM CHECK-OUT, at your convenience with no person-to-person contact.
Make yourself at home at The Nook of the Indiana Dunes!

The Perfect Winter Retreat!
After searching through many rentals, we came upon this gem! My brother was traveling from Sharon, MA and we were in from Las Vegas. With mom in a retirement home in Chesteron, this was the perfect location for all of us. From the initial communications and to the day of arrival, Penny was attentive and extremely responsive. Our 2023 Family Christmas at her home was perfect, with a decorated Xmas tree in the large living area! The game room was a hit with the younger adults. We couldn't really enjoy the outdoor amenities because of a slight drizzle but the firepit looks inviting for the next time. We did take a drive to Indiana Dunes State Park which is close by. Plenty of stores nearby to stock up on necessities. All in all, the perfect place!

They thought of everything!
Beautiful home which provided comfortable accommodations for 13 adults. The beds were comfortable and the living spaces plenty. We thoroughly enjoyed the game room over the garage as well as the large kitchen area to sit, eat and converse. We would definitely stay here again.

Well appointed home with a great host
We were here for a birthday weekend. The home was perfect… place to play, place to gather and relax and located close to state and national parks. It was good to have access to firewood and state park passes to make it easy to explore. Overall , had a great time. Thanks Penny.
