About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Waverly Retreat

Located an easy 1.6 miles to Indiana Dunes State Park, 2 miles South of Porter Beach, not even a mile from the South Shore train station with direct access to downtown Chicago, and 2 miles from the historic downtown Chesterton. This house has access to everything you could ask for. Not only is the location perfect if you want a relaxing weekend at the beach or some active hiking days on the many miles of trails, but the house itself is cozy and convenient with all the comforts of home.
