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.
The property is very clean and modern. Very centrally located for adventures at the dunes. We loved our stay. The host is extremely responsive and assisted with suggestions for dinner. It took us only 5 minutes to drive to the beach area from the property which was amazing. And the host is very kid friendly. The property itself is attached to the back of a business which did throw me off a little but we had zero issue with privacy while staying. And there was zero noise issue from the surrounding businesses.
