About this house rental

Welcome to Porter Nook . A thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom home located in the heart of Porter, Indiana, just minutes from the beaches and hiking trails of Indiana Dunes National Park and Lake Michigan shoreline.

This private, single-level stay comfortably accommodates up to four guests and features a king bedroom, a twin trundle bed in the second bedroom, and a XL twin-size sleeper sofa in the living area. Whether you're planning a beach day, girls’ weekend, or a relaxing getaway near nature, Dune Trail Retreat offers a comfortable home base with convenient access to everything the area has to offer.

Guests will enjoy self-check-in with a smart lock and full access to the home during their stay. Two guest bicycles are available for exploring nearby trails, beaches, and local dining options without needing to drive.

Located in a mixed-use building alongside local businesses, guests can walk to a neighborhood bar, an authentic Mexican restaurant, and a pet grooming boutique just steps from the home. While the unit itself is fully private with no shared interior spaces, guests may notice activity or occasional sound from nearby establishments during operating hours.

Porter Nook is dog-friendly for one small, house-trained dog (20 lbs or less) with an approved pet fee. Please disclose your pet at the time of booking.

Conveniently located less than an hour from downtown Chicago and near the South Shore Line train station, this stay is ideal for guests looking for a relaxing Midwest getaway with easy access to the Indiana Dunes and surrounding communities.

This is a great little place to stay that is close to the Dunes and all the cuteness of Chesterton and Porter. We came for a wedding and really enjoyed the area. Our host gave us great breakfast recommendations and was very quick to respond to any questions. The apartment was very clean and the decorating was very tasteful and comfortable. GREAT bed mattress and spacious bedroom was a bonus! Highly recommend for a short or long stay in the area. We loved the area so much, we plan to come back with a large family group in the Fall.
