Weekend at the Dunes
This property is great! Beautiful inside and out. The only thing the group recommended was including that the shower is on the second floor:)

Great place to stay!
The house and yard very spacious. They had everything you need for cooking. The ping pong table is always a must when we rent. They had a lot of games for indoors and out. Close to the beaches. One beach had handicap access which was helpful. The management team was easy to get ahold of and very quick to respond.

Family Vacation
Great location! Close to parks. Lots of games and activities for evenings and rainy days. Many more amenities than we expected. Bunk room is the only bedroom in the basement and there is only one bathroom shower (located in 2nd floor bath). Overall a good setup for a large group.

Quirky and comfortable
This charming older house is not far from the Indiana Dunes parks and just a couple of blocks from an excellent Italian restaurant (Lucrezia) and its shop. If you wish to cook, the kitchen is well equipped. The beds are comfortable. For us, the best part of the house was the back yard, delightfully shaded by a couple of beautiful old trees and equipped with a substantial table and chairs where we ate both breakfast and dinner and hung out until dark. Because of the house's age, the stairs to the upstairs bedroom and the basement are steep so people who are unsteady on their feet might want to stay on the main floor.

Ok stay
This place is really not kid friendly. Lots of steep steps, back yard was in the process of getting an updo, so the kids did not play much out there. Rocks were the pathway, so not as easy to walk on. Would have expected a hairdryer somewhere in the house. It was ok, but really was not a great place for our family. Was expecting more for the price. Only 1 tv for the whole house? We left a day early

LOTS OF SPACE FOR THE PRICE
Our group had a cornhole tournament up in the area. Unfortunately I grew ill just days before departure and I was unable to attend, but my husband did. He was in charge of making sure the rules were followed and the cleanup was done. He said that there were no complaints from anyone about the house, definitely big enough for them. He did state he wished there was more then one shower, but that there was a tub. With 12 people it was hard for everyone to get in a shower. He mentioned it is an older home but the layout was neat. We were concerned with the parking, tried to carpool as many as we could to avoid too many cars, plus we had a trailer for the tournament as it was a tournament we ran. He said everything worked out perfectly and everyone was happy with their stay. He did say all we really did was sleep there, so the house barely looked like it was used. Thank you so much for an easy stay, and we will keep it in mind for the next one.

Family beach vacation
The house was clean, well stocked and very organized. The location was great for going to the beach at Indiana Dunes State park. A nice touch was the soaps, shampoo, conditioner and lavender bath salts in each bathroom. We really enjoyed the ping pong table and games and the back yard area was very relaxing.. We enjoyed our stay and it was a great place for our short family beach vacation.
