Best Western Indian Oak

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the balcony looking out on the small lake behind the hotel. The front desk clerk was nice. Updated bathrooms were nice ecxept ours would not stay closed & had to use a washcoth to hold to closed.Otherwise a very nice stay for going to Indiana Dunes State Park"

The Porter Nook! 5 minutes to Indiana Dunes, Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed 5 nights here. Everything listed was accurate. I really appreciate Jessica’s hospitality and quick response! This house was perfect for our needs and clean. Really loved having the large living room and sofa is very nice. The pots and pans looked brand new also. There are a couple pubs and a Mexican restaurant, also a convenient store in walking distance, but they do not bring in additional noise at night. Only made it easier to walk to get dinner one night ! Thanks Jessica!"

Waterbird Lakeside Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and very comfortable!! And the view was the best!"

Blue Birdhouse - No Cleaning Fee - Pet Friendly - Dunes National Park

10/10 Excellent

"We learned a new, weather related, term while staying here, "ponding" is what happens when 2" or more of rain comes down in a short period of time creating larger than a puddle and more like a pond to drive through! It rained with light-up-the-house lightening the first night we were there. The house was cozy and warm and we felt very safe. Indiana Dunes was our destination and this home is very close. Charleston seems like it was right down the street. Comfortably soft bed with the washer and dryer being in the basement."

Indiana Dunes Getaway on 2 acres! Truly unique 4 Bedroom, 4 Bath home!

10/10 Excellent

"This was a family trip to Indiana Dunes/beach at Lake MI. The house is probably one of the most equipped for cooking and spreading out. It is very close to the National Park. I highly recommend this house."
