Unique and cozy
I was visiting family and friends who live in Chesterton. This location was great for day activities in the area and not too far of a drive for all of us. Pretty nice central location. I didn’t spend much time at the house but the amenities and offerings were perfect for what I needed.

Hidden gem
Celebrated Christmas with my family here and it was perfect. Neighborhood was quiet, has a fenced in backyard with fire pit and chairs. You do have to park behind the house there is an alley way but its not creepy, And its lighted. Communication was quick and easy with host. We enjoyed our stay
