Showchoir trip

This quaint house was perfectly located for attending the Trojan Classic showchoir competition. Plenty of room and nicely equipped. Though it was too cold to use the backyard it looked very nice.

Short Family Stay

We enjoyed having a family meet-up at the Dunes Home. The days ended up being extremely rainy, so we didn't have the chance to enjoy the backyard or visit the Dunes. The location was so close to downtown, so the adults were able to go down and sample at the winery. House had great accommodations for us to fit in comfortably and cooks and eat in-house. .

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!

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!

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 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.

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.

Cute little house

A cute little house in walking distance to downtown Chesterton. Very close to the beach. Nice backyard with fire pit. The house is very small but had everything we needed. The house had a musty smell but we aired it off out by opening some windows and running the fans. A couple of the windows didn’t have screens and the window sills need a cleaning. The neighbors house has a lot of junk in the yard with people smoking. It was hard to tell if they were fixing up the house or if they were just messy. Overall the area was adequate for our needs.
