Above and beyond.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Chesterton at the Dunes House. Our host was always available to respond if I had a question. The accommodations were excellent lots of comfy beds, a beautiful private outdoor space with a cozy atmosphere and a fire pit. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, and some complementary goodies from our host. We felt quite spoiled. Thank you, Eddi.

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!

Perfect location for dunes visit
The property was as listed and well kept. Check in was hassle free and location was perfect for us as we were visiting the dunes for the beach and hiking trails. The whole family came and appreciated that there were a few games to play, a private outdoor space and needed items for cooking a meal. We enjoyed a morning walk to both Dunkin and Starbucks before heading out, would definitely recommend!

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!

Parkdale reunion
Very clean and in the heart of Chesterton. Walked to everything. Charming eclectic historic home with everything you need and lots of personal touches by the owner who thought of everything. Earplugs for the trains, but that’s the wonderful thing about Chesterton is hearing the trains. Also, snacks to get you started and anything you may have forgotten like a toothbrush is there for you. We will return, no doubts about it.

Great Location
Three night stay for our family of 4. My 6 year old loved the bunk beds and a pack n play was provided for our 1 year old which was great. The house is close to train tracks and while you can hear the trains pretty consistently they were not excessively loud. The proximity to downtown Chesterton was fantastic and we loved being able to walk to so many things. The stairs to upstairs are very steep so not recommend for kids but there was plenty of downstairs space for them.

We had a nice stay. The house had everything that we needed and more. We used the fire pit to roast marshmallows, the cute little diner down the street was a perfect walking distance for us and the kids to get breakfast and the house is close to Indiana dunes. We would definitely return.

Nice stay
We had 5 adults and 3 children and there was plenty of beds to sleep, including an extra one besides the futon upstairs. We enjoyed the firepit out back and there was plenty of chairs. Would be a nice area to add a table, as there is a popup tent back there also. It was a nice house, in a great location, with plenty of shopping places close by for groceries.

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.

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.

Trip to the Dunes and Family Fun!
This property is a recently remodeled home with a great neutral vibe. We had 7 adults and 3 children and plenty of space. The Beds were very comfortable, we were able to cook meals and eat at home, close enough to walk to the cute little town or around the corner for food, including Tacos, a diner, a cute icecream store, a hip little place serves amazing burgers and sandwiches, and other shops. Nice back yard for a fire or just to relax. The home comes with almost everything you can think of that you would need. The host is very accommodating and returns messages right away. This is a great home for a trip to the Dunes or area attractions. The neighbors to the left like there Music and tend to be outside frequently but are harmless. They are busy train tracks near by but the horns are short and after a while you get used to them. I was never woke up by a train. I would definitely stay here again if ever in the area.
