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.

This was our second time staying at the Nook. Penny is great, the place is so conveniently located, and always has everything we need!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
We had a very nice stay. We Loved the large backyard with firewood and fire pit and the play equipment and bikes. The activity room above the garage provided great family time. The home was nice, but the AC did not cool much of the house adequately, one of the bedrooms was marginal and a few things were in need of repair.

We had a wonderful time at “The Nook.” It is a few minutes drive from the beach with chairs and beach toys for the kids. All the amenities that you could possibly need at the house. Great and timely responses from the host to all messages! Would love to stay here again!
