Great home for a great vacation!
We had such a great time here! It was the perfect size with many more beds/places to sleep than we even needed. The kitchen was well-stocked, the backyard was great, and we loved being able to take our dog with us. We loved that we were within minutes of both grocery stores, places to eat, and the beach. The host always responded promptly and was extremely accommodating. We would definitely stay again!

Mixed Review
There were 6 of us staying in Chesterton for a wedding. The house was very close to the reception which is why we selected it. It's also very convenient to the Dunes. For the most part the house was clean but according to our host his cleaning service let him down. The dishwasher was full of dirty dishes, still some garbage in the garbage cans and the grass had not been cut for weeks. I'm also quite surprised that none of the other reviews mention the incredible amount of trains that go by in all hours of the night blowing their horns. The host actually has a supply of ear plugs in the house! Check in process was good, wifi worked great and the kitchen had what we needed for our short stay (2 nights). Overall this house served our purpose but was not my best VRBO experience.

Great Long term Lodging
My brother and I booked this place for several weeks in January for work training. The home was spacious and allowed us to have separate living spaces between the upstairs and downstairs with our own separate bathrooms. This home would definitely accommodate a larger family or two average size families staying together. The home was fully furnished with coffee maker, keurig, large refrigerator, silverware, coffee cups, plates, bowls and pots/pans for cooking. Home was furnished with lots of linens, pillows and beds. Beds were comfortable and supported by a solid frame. Trains came through the area at night but did not bother me, I always sleep with a fan. Soft ear plugs are provided if needed. The trains were quiet and did not produce too much noise. We enjoyed watching movies on the tv upstairs. The futon was comfortable and the television was a perfect size for the location. The home is older but with recent updates, I even enjoyed its quirky features. The only issue we ran into was that the water lines froze up while we were there and caused a water line to break under the house. Owner was very responsive and took care of the problem quickly. This was not a surprise given the age of the home and the extremely low temperatures that we experienced that week. Overall, I am very pleased with this place and would not hesitate to book again.

Comfortable home close to Chersterton shops
Nice little home that's been very recently updated and includes modern amenities. Local trains can be a bit load at night but the host included warning and supplied ear plugs that made sleeping peacefully no issue for our family. Walking distance to cute little "downtown" Chesterton shops and restaurants. Great communication with the owner who was flexible to our requests and eager to address anything we may have found issue with.

Great group vacation spot
Cozy, clean, welcoming, and plenty of space for all 8 of us! We had a great time at a nearby beach and there was enough to do in the area that we stayed busy even on rainy days. It was pretty perfect for a group weekend getaway!
