Wonderful home and host!
My husband and I and our two small fur babies were in need of a local home to rent while our new home was being remodeled. This home fit our budget and location was a wonderful area to be since it was near the lake and all kinds of places to eat, hike and work. The home was well stocked with the necessities of what is needed and a huge fenced yard for our little dogs. Our host Andrew was always available and answered our needs immediately. Highly recommend!

Great place
Cleanliness is my #1 requirement and it was perfect. Really nice and the beds were comfortable. We had our dog with us and the fenced yard was wonderful. We could sit out with him without a lease. It is close to a lot of things including Indiana Dunes State and National Parks. Our favorite destination was the walkway along Lake Michigan and the Galis arboretum. Perfect place to stay and the host Andrew was great.

Awesome stay!
This little house was perfect for us! It had everything that we needed and a big fenced in back yard for our dogs to run in! The location was great, not in the city but only a 15/20 minute drive to the beach! I would highly recommend staying here and I hope to come back again!

Perfect for kids and pets
Property was easy to find, quiet neighborhood. House is small, but spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 kids plus 2 dogs. Huge fenced back yard was perfect for my dogs and kid to run around. Clean, plenty of amenities provided. Quick and friendly responses. Would stay again!

Perfect home near Indiana Dunes
This house was perfect for our family. It had plenty of space with the two bedrooms and a large backyard. All amenities for your pup such as dog bed and bowls. The street was extremely quite it a cute neighborhood that is close to several restaurants and only 5 minutes from the visitor center. The owner was also very responsive and super nice when I had some questions. We were only here for the weekend, but would definitely consider this home or his other home if we come back. The kids also gave their ratings - and said they loved the house (bunk beds, fire pit, easy tv usage 😆)

Very pet friendly!
House is very close to the national park and minutes from nearby restaurants. Great fenced-in yard if you’re traveling with a dog. Host (Andrew) is very responsive! Would definitely recommend if you’re traveling to the dunes or are on a road trip and need a place to crash with your pet!
