The house is big and beautiful. The pictures don’t do justice for the house it looks better in person. Everyone slept comfortably. Thank you so much for having us ☺️ We will be coming back❤️

The house was perfect! Communication was easy and prompt when I had questions. The location was close to several parks which made it easy for entertaining small children during down town. Would come back and stay!

Alyssa is a fantasic host and has a wonderful property in Chesterton. The house was immaculate and had everything needed to make it a comfortable stay for a mom and dad and their 5 little kids. The neighborhood is great and there is a welcome book at the house that has great suggestions for food and fun (Thanks Alyssa!).
If you are looking to escape Chicago or drive to rhe midwest for a beach tripnto the Indiana Dunes this property is for you! We had a lovely and restful time at the Chesterton Chalet!

We were comfortable during our stay. The beds and pillows were good quality. There were lots of extras included like K-cups, beach chairs, beach toys, shower gel, and board games. The flowers in front of the house were in full bloom! Location was good for visiting the national Park beaches and trails.
3.0
The house was clean but it is very old. The only place to park is on the street which is right near a fairly busy intersection. Unfortunately someone hit our car our first night there and we didn't have any other options for parking.
Also, the house is a few blocks from train tracks so you will hear the trains throughout the night
5.0
Cozy, effecent, clean, and comfortable. With that many beds the one bathroom was always full, but the many other amenities made the limited bathroom space barable and earned this host and home a 5 star rating
5.0
The house was comfortable and had plenty of room for our group. It was a short drive to beaches. We went during the first part of the week so there was not much open nearby for dining out.

We enjoyed exploring the Indiana Dunes park, beach, biking and the Chesterton downtown area. The house was comfortable and everything was just great! All family members had a great time!
5.0
Very unique place to stay. Enough space to spread out. Clean, decent amenities, close to Indiana Dunes. WiFi—You be surprised how many places don’t have it. Lots of trains at night so bring sleep-aids of some type. No bathroom upstairs. Host very professional and courteous. We would stay again. We plan on it ;).

I booked this for a girls weekend but when that fell through, my husband and I took our two young kids and my mom for a spring getaway. We wish the weather cooperated a little more because the Dunes were just a 10-min drive away and would have been fun to spend more than a half hour there. Still cool, though. The house is wonderful and the hosts were very kind, offering a cute little coffee bar setup and toys and books for the kids to play with. The house is great for kids (a gate at the top of the stairs and lots of beds to choose from) while still being comfortable for adults (loved the space heater, comfy couches and smart TVs for movie nights). Super comfortable beds, nice shower, clean, charming and cozy space overall. And downtown was a 3-minute walk, which made date night really easy. Loved the cute winery on the corner and the tacos downtown were delish! Would totally recommend this for anyone looking for a little getaway!

Our family with two teens enjoyed the coziness of this home. It has lots of character as well as close proximity to shops and restaurants. Also a nice launching pad to exploring the sand dunes or taking the train into Chicago.

The Chesterton chalet was exactly as advertised. The house was large but had a very homey feel to it. We loved that we could bring our dogs. We also really enjoyed the corn-hole boards and beach chairs that were provided to use during our stay. My family and I would definitely stay here again.

Such a fun little vacay!
My family and I were here for a 3 night stay before school starts back up next week. What a treat!! The house was so cute with plenty of room. It has a fenced in back yard that was perfect for our furbaby. We spent time outside and used the firepit to make s'mores. The house is a great location with lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance. The kids loved the cute little toy store and we loved the shops! The beaches we visited were a quick 10-12 minute drive away. We especially lived Kimel beach. It seemed to be a less crowded and the water was crystal clear. We would definitely stay again!! There are a lot of trains that pass close by, but it added to the charm I think. All in all, 5 stars 🌟 Thanks Alyssa!!

The house was great and in a great location close to everything. Walking distance to several places to eat and small unique shops. Short drive to the dunes! You did get to hear the trains often and some even shook the house but it just made the experience even better.

My family and I traveled to Indiana for a memorial service and this place was just what we needed. It was so cozy and peaceful that we only left the house twice the entire weekend. It was five of us and there was plenty of space! We really enjoyed our stay!
