Sweet house ... not so sweet
We rented this location for 3nights. This rental was a disappointment, and we would not recommend it to anyone. The overwhelming smell of what turned out to be the plug in air freshener could not assuaged even when unplugged. We expected to be able to grill out and the grill was archaic and there were not coals, as expected/indicated in the description. The picture of the furniture are not accurate. The bed in the room to the right was awful. It was a memory foam mattress that you sink into, can't move, and is so hot. The bedrooms could at least have a lamp rather than just an overhead light. The cockroach in the middle bedroom was not what we wanted to find upon arrival. We will stick with the preferred hosts moving forward with VRBO.

Good location in Chesterton
Sweet Home in Chesterton was just that - a cozy home a short ways from the Indiana Dunes, an undersung treasure. The house was as described, with adequate furniture, a spacious yard (we did some outside entertaining and it was perfect), and a location very close to "downtown" Chesterton, with its good restaurants and shops. A very good choice for us!

Perfect Mini Getaway!
We booked our stay knowing we wanted to explore Indiana Dunes National Park and the close proximity was a huge perk! The house was wonderful! Perfect amount of space for our family of five to enjoy! Stocked with plenty of games for us to play in the evenings before bedtime! The house was clean and tidy upon arrival as well! A huge highlight of the house according to our kids we’re the fireflies once the sun went down! Such a fun bonus memory catching fireflies and releasing them! Thanks for a great stay!
