Private Downtown Apt, King Bed, Jet Bath, Fireplace, Grill, near Indiana Dunes

Downtown Chesterton private apartment. Walk to parks, dining, shopping, taverns, winery, European market, and more. Only 3 miles from sand beaches & hiking trails at Indiana Dunes State Park and Indiana dunes National Park. Apt has living, dining, full kitchen, large bedroom w/King bed, large jet bath & fireplace, and bathroom. Living room has 58" smart tv and L shaped couch that sleeps 2. Glider and gas grill outside too.

The Space
Our apartment is located in our downtown commercial building a short walk to all the downtown activities, parks, dining, shops, taverns brewery, winery, and European market. It is only 3 miles from the sand beaches on Lake Michigan at the Indiana Dunes State Park and the hiking trails of the Duens State Park and Dunes National Park. We are 1 hour from Chicago and South Bend.

The apartment has an entry, living room, dining, kitchen, large bedroom, and bathroom with shower. The living room has an L shape couch that can sleep two. There is plenty of room on the floor in the living room or bedroom to throw an air mattress or sleeping mats if you need to sleep a total of 6.

Please be aware the layout is that of a New Orleans style apartment. That means that there is no hallway. It flows from entry to living to dining to kitchen to bedroom to bathroom. One has to walk through bedroom to get to bathroom.

The living room has a 58" smart Roku tv and extra pillows and blankets for anyone to sleep on the couch.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, cookware, dishware, glassware, and silverware. It has a stove, microwave, full size frig, Kuerig, tea pot, and toaster. Kuerig pods provided too.

The large bedroom has a walkin closet, king size bed, makeup counter, another large smart tv, and a large jet tub with fireplace.

Wifi throughout. Glider and gas grill are outside the front door. There is a laundromat across the street and a large park with splash pad and play equipment 1 block behind the apt. The sidewalk around the park is .9 mile if you want to get your exercise in.

Other things to note.
This apartment is downtown Chesterton. As such, there is traffic and train noise that could disturb some guests. White noise and/or ear plugs really help. We provide ear plugs in the nightstand by the bed.

We use plug in Scents. Though most people like the fresh smell, we've learned that a few people are very sensitive and don't like them. If you want us to unplug them before your stay, just let us know.

Do not recommend
Extremely hard to find the front entrance and the address listed is not the exact location. Once we entered and looked around, the couch had popcorn in the couch and was very dirty. The shower door doesn’t close all the way and mold was on the wall by the shower. My husband filled up the bath tub and it ran the hot water out so we had to wait an hour to take a shower. A train must be right beside the apartment and blew its horn all night. I would never stay at this place ever again.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE!
We are trouble checking in and had to message the owner to get a code to check in. Then you couldn't see anything because there were no lights outside and it was dark when we arrived. Soon as you open the door to the foyer you are smacked in the face by the smell of mold! Obviously they're aware of an issue because there were two air purifiers and the one bedroom apartment. Then the whirlpool tub which was the main reason we rented it, would only fill halfway before running out of hot water and would barely cover the jets. The electric fireplace would not light. And the trains go by every 10 minutes or less. The main reason I would not stay here is the mold smell is overwhelming and it burnt my nostrils and woke me up in the middle of the night making me sick! bad!Smellpointinexperwhirlpomornburni

Cozy & convenient
Property located within walking distance of downtown Chesterton & many local restaurants (& European market on Saturday). Bed very comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, large tvs in living room & bedroom, owner communicated well, parking right outside front door, comfortable temperature throughout unit. Missing a few light bulbs (nightstand & bedroom vanity), missing trim in a few places, bathroom missing tile/ trim, extra door locked from another side in bathroom, shower door doesn’t close well, unit smelled a bit musty. Would stay again. Overall great value.

Cute location for an overnight getaway
Overall, it was a nice place. In the entry foyer area, it smelled very musty and damp, and the there were a few small things here and there that needed to be fixed or repaired. Overall, it was very nice with a jacuzzi, fireplacethat made it very enjoyable

Perfectly Sufficient!
My daughter and I were visiting colleges in the area, but also wanted to check out the Dunes. The apartment was perfectly suited to meet your needs. The bed was comfortable, kitchen had all we needed for our short stay, and wifi was good! While there were earplugs provided, the property is very close to the railroad tracks. I may have counted 10 trains in the night. If you have sleep buds, bring them. Therefore 4 stars for location and listing. The train tracks are very active day and night. Otherwise, the stay was just what we needed. The low cleaning fees are appreciated and the required duties are light and very reasonable. Thanks for a good stay!! We would stay again!

Perfect Spot for Visiting Friends in the Area
This was the perfect spot for visiting friends in the area. Close to the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc. Host was very easy to get ahold of. The place looked exactly like the photos and matched the description perfectly. Other reviewers complained about traffic/train noise. I didn't notice that at all. My suggestion is to pack earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Regretful
We pulled up to the 'corporate' building apartment. The glider and grill are right at the edge of the street sidewalk. Once inside everything was as the web pictures described. But as we entered the bedroom we noticed an odd smell, and once in the bathroom the smell was overwhelming. It smelled like mold. One of us started gagging and couldn't breath. There were two air purifiers in the apartment with one being in the bedroom. We contacted the host and stated that we could not stay and breath such strong odors. He commented that they had never had water issues. Maybe the smell was from the 'area' that led off the bathroom where a locked door was. He offered their home, but we had no idea what it was like or if cameras were in place - did not feel comfortable. The insurance we purchased did not cover this situation and we were out the money for the three nights.

Good Location but Some Privacy Concerns
We had a good stay overall, but the cleaning staff was still working when we arrived at check-in time. The cleaning staff returned to remove cleaning supplies without our knowledge while we were bathing in the adjacent room. We noticed the missing supplies but were not notified of the staff’s return. We brought up the privacy concern to the host a few days later after we checked out of the apartment. The host apologized and said that he instructed the staff to return to finish cleaning, but if privacy is a priority, you may feel more comfortable at a different listing.

Comfortable Short Stay
We stayed at this property one night while passing through the area. It was a good and affordable resting spot for the night - king-sized bed was very comfortable and location was very convenient for visiting the Dunes National Park and the cute downtown Chesterton. The property description is accurate - very close to the active train tracks, but the ongoing sounds didn't bother us too much. The exterior entrance did not have the best curb appeal, but we were satisfied with the accommodations within for our needs.
