About this cottage rental
Our Duneland Rentals cottages are located right on the beach in the heart of the Indiana Dunes.
This lovely 2-bedroom beach rental is just steps form the lake. There is nothing between you and the lake except the lovely sandy beach.
Amenities include hardwood floors, high speed internet, cable t.v., central air, charcoal grill, coffee maker, microwave, ceiling fans, and 350’ of private beach. Our cottage is right on the beach.
We are located within walking distance to the Indiana Dunes State Park and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore where there are miles of beautiful hiking, biking and cross country ski trails. Just a short ten minute drive away are the towns are Chesterton and Porter where there are a number of excellent restaurants, shops and cultural attractions. We are one hour from Chicago by car or the South Shore Railroad (the nearest stop to us is Dunes Park Station).
I’m sorry but we do not allow pets or smoking. Maximum occupancy is 4 people (adults and children). Additional day guests and visitors are not permitted.

We celebrated our anniversary with a past minute getaway and chose this place. We were not disappointed! Beautiful place, excellent view, and we will return!

This rental was one of the best locations we have ever stayed. The cottage was right on the beach and had all the comforts of home. The host has thought of just about everything and has provided it, including beach chairs, kayaks, sand toys, and much more. There were two things that were not mentioned in the description, but were mentioned in the comments: you park at the top of a steep hill, and have to walk down many wooden steps to reach the cottage. We would have packed differently if we had seen that in the description. The description did not mention that this cottage was located below another rental. Luckily, our upstairs neighbors were fairly quiet, and we mostly heard the floor creaking when they walked in and a little bit of muffled sound from the television. We normally do not find issue with the taste of water in most places that we have traveled, but we struggled with the taste of the well water. You may want to pick up some bottled water for drinking. The state park is literally just a walk down the beach. We hiked two days in the state park and it was fantastic. Unfortunately we did not make it to the national park. We definitely plan to come back in the future. Our host not only provided suggestions of hikes, but also some great restaurants. She was super responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

My son (who is 11) and I were in town for the birding festival and were so lucky to have been able to book this lovely cottage. It is literally on the beach, surrounded by sand and gorgeous views. It was so peaceful and we loved listening to the waves from the private deck! We will definitely be back next year and hopefully before!

We enjoyed our stay. Very clean property, beautiful beach, quiet neighborhood. The furniture is older but with small children it worked well for us. Read the details carefully. The trek down the stairs to the property is no joke!

I can't say enough about the owner and the property itself. You are right on the lake with a view and location that is unbeatable in my opinion. The property was absolutely spotless, I loved Susan (owner) sharing the history of the property and was accessible to any questions. Excellent location to any area attractions...but you won't want to leave the property because of the peaceful surroundings and view. Will be back without a doubt.

When we looked at renting on the lakeshore we didn’t know and understand exactly how these home rentals operate - tourists, newbies! We loved it immediately! Right at the beach and lake in a home obviously loved by the owners. The way the vintage and the up to date blended was perfect for us. We felt comfortable Susan would help us with whatever we might need. We highly recommend this property and owner/manager. The Wennings

This place is paradise ! We had a wonderful stay and every morning and evening was a blast with amazing sunrises and sunsets. The outside is just surreal and so beautiful. Walking distance by the beach to the national Park was such a great opportunity to hike. The bungalow is super nice and cosy, views are exceptional!! Only downside for us : you have someone above your head... just pray they are considerate people, like the neighbors we had.

The cottage is right on Lake Michigan with private beach area. Rooms were comfortable and up to date. Only downside is the steps to get up and down dune. Two sisters as owners were very polite and responsive to any needs

Overall our stay was great despite some cold weather. The views from the units are amazing. Wonderful customer service and clean. Everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Can't wait to go back in the summer. The stairs to/from are many. We'd have packed lighter had we realized.

Fun winter getaway
Awesome views of the lake. Lots of stairs to get down to the property from the parking area but it was manageable.
Inside was clean and fit well with our small group.
Property owner was always available to answer questions and give local advice.

Cozy Spot Right on the Lake
Easy to work with the owner via text. We met the owner outside and masked in order to know where to park and how to access the unit. Unit was very clean, cozy, with good view of the lake. As others have pointed out, there are about two flights of stairs in order to access the rental. To note - the room with twin beds has french doors to the living area, a window on the side (by the kitchen), and a door and two small windows to the other bedroom. The views, being right on the water, and walking distance to the dunes (state park) really made our stay worthwhile.

This house is perfect!!! There are gorgeous views out of every window, it’s right on the beach and it’s the perfect size. My mother and I stayed here for a week and were sad to leave!There are serious steps to get in and out of the property so it’s not for anyone who struggles with mobility. But it was perfect for us! It was clean, well appointed and a great size. I want to book it again immediately! You just feel like you are practically in the lake.

Impressed with the care around cleaning, including all beds with hospital corners, every towel perfectly in place, frig and stove pristine. Right on the water with great set up of chairs, bonfire, kayak if you want, and a half mile walk to enter the Dunes park for free. Comfortable and convenient get away!

And why didn't we find this before...
It was as close to perfect for me as one can get! The cottage was lovely, the beach area was small this year, but private and peaceful. Everything the kids and adults needed for entertainment was there. The dunes and dune grasses and flowers were picturesque with little paths through the grasses. The only thing wrong was that we could not stay as long as I would have liked! Susan was a splendid hostess! And our next door neighbor who has spent summers there since he can remember when he was 3 was a true gem! What a spectacular vacation place! I can't believe we didn't know about this years ago!
