About this house rental

Only two miles from the Indiana Dunes National Park and State Park, "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.

The house was so close to several different beaches. The backyard was great for my young kids and niece. The layout of the house was perfect for our 3 families to have our own spaces. The only downside is there wasn't really a bathtub for the small children. The one main bathroom had a very leaky faucet and showerhead when running the water. We made it work though. We have plans to return next summer too!

The was a perfect spot to be for Labor Day Weekend. Close to the Lake, big yard, and plenty of space for multiple families with kids. The place was well stocked and clean…would definitely stay here again!

Three families with multiple kids of various ages, and still an abundance of space! We enjoyed all of what the space had to offer, plentiful outside seating, large yard and play structure, bonfire pit, etc! We would definitely stay again.

The Nook once again provided us with a wonderful stay for our family. We enjoyed the game room above the garage, bikes and board games. It was perfect for our multigenerational family get together. The Visitor Center at the Indiana Dunes National Park was close by and informative. The beach at Indiana Dunes State Park was exceptional. Trails in the park kept us busy. We were surprised to see that AAA magazine had a write-up this month about the National Park and USA Today voted one of the State Parks trails as exceptional.\ for views of Lake Michigan. Penny is wonderful to work with... Hope to be back there next year. The Large's

What an amazing opportunity to spend a few days with our children and grandchildren. The house provided places to hang out whether it was in the backyard, game room, living room or enjoying our meals together in the big kitchen. The proximity to grocery, restaurants and of course the beach was superb. Thank you!

Our family met at the house for a vacation together. This house had plenty of space for the 12 of us, plus kid/family activities. There were bikes for us to use, a game room, firepit, large yard, and karaoke. The house is close to beaches, parks, and dunes. We had a wonderful time together. When I asked a question of the owner, she got back to me quickly.
