About this house rental

One mile 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 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 of the year. Enjoy 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, restaurants and seasonal European Market. And of course, Lake Michigan's famous sandy beaches.
Originally built 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. Enjoy ample Free Parking in the driveway of the home with space enough for four cars to park comfortably in the Driveway.
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.
Check in at 4 pm at your convenience, now with same-day check-in available.

Our family enjoyed our stay very much, especially with having the clean well-kept accommodations and so close to our favorite Lake Michigan beaches. This is a very comfortable home for family to relax and enjoy their home away from home.
