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 Nook is very spacious and easily housed our ten family members. The game room was in a loft area over the garage. The kids loved it. The grounds are also beautiful with a large backyard with a play structure and fire pit. Altogether, it was an excellent experience.

We had an amazing stay at The Nook. The host was great, The Nook was perfect for a ladies sleepover weekend, and the location to the Dunes was prime! We really enjoyed spending time together around the big kitchen table and had a fire pit and s'mores. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials for cooking, and the host has a bunch of great details from the Nook themed items to the guest book and Dunes park information. We absolutely loved our stay here!
