About this cottage rental
Our Duneland Rentals cottages are right on the beach in the heart of the Indiana Dunes. This charming lakefront cottage is located on three hundred feet of private beach. The gradual sandy beach is excellent for swimming and the sunsets from the south shore of Lake Michigan are incredible.
Porter Beach is a small beach community located on the borders of the Indiana Dunes State Park and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and just one hour from downtown Chicago. The beautiful beach stretches in either direction for miles and within minutes you can get to wonderful nature trails, excellent restaurants, quaint shops and many interesting cultural attractions.
The trails vary in length and difficulty but are all wonderful for both hiking and cross country skiing. There are also some excellent sledding hills nearby. Other close by sights include historic Chelberg Farm, Westchester Township History Museum, Zao Island Amusement Park, Taltree Arboretum, Calumet Bike Trail, Imagination Glen with a BMX race track and a 10 mile Outback Mountain Bike Trail and Broken Wagon Bison Farm and many more wonderful places to explore and activities to delight.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
What a beautiful and magical family beach location. We took our 1 year old daughter to her first national park and she loved it! The view from the rooms are immaculate, the host was courteous, toured the house with us, and even helped us carry out supplies to the house! From the moment we arrived, we felt safe and welcomed and we always knew if we had a questions, our host would assist anyway possible. The house is older but we knew from the accurate photos and description. The house is fully furnished with towels, plates, running water, window AC units, a front deck with a view of Lake Michigan and so so so much more. It's all we needed and more! There is a boat house below the main living area and it was well stocked with toys, chairs, paddles, kayaks, etc. that our yours to use during the visit. Only complaint was the main bedroom had dog hair all underneath the bed and the fan was blowing it out into the main living area, minor issue but their is a cleaning crew if you have a major concern. Also, the filters are the AC units were a major fire hazard-lots of debris and lint covered the entire filters for both window units and the vent areas do have traces of black mold.LOTS of steps, do not be discoured and when the host says there is a lot of steep stairs, they mean it. If you have major health issues I would recommend avoiding this property.

Small cottage, had good assortment of kitchen utensils. Cozy, a bit rustic, not pretentious. Owners have several cottages in this area. Fortunate to meet nice folks around a campfire on the beach. Would stay again, maybe later in the season. Water was a brisk 54 degrees in May.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2024
We had expected to have fire wood available by the fire ring as other VRBO’s we have stayed at. If you want a fire, get the wood before you go down to the house, it is quit a climb. Beautiful, restful, and clean. Do the three Dune challenge, it’s great!
