The Space
Our apartment is located in our downtown commercial building a short walk to all the downtown activities, parks, dining, shops, taverns brewery, winery, and European market. It is only 3 miles from the sand beaches on Lake Michigan at the Indiana Dunes State Park and the hiking trails of the Duens State Park and Dunes National Park. We are 1 hour from Chicago and South Bend.

The apartment has an entry, living room, dining, kitchen, large bedroom, and bathroom with shower. The living room has an L shape couch that can sleep two.

Please be aware the layout is that of a New Orleans style apartment. That means that there is no hallway. It flows from entry to living to dining to kitchen to bedroom to bathroom. One has to walk through bedroom to get to bathroom.

The living room has a 58" smart Roku tv and extra pillows and blankets for anyone to sleep on the couch.

The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, cookware, dishware, glassware, and silverware. It has a stove, microwave, full size frig, Kuerig, tea pot, and toaster. Kuerig pods provided too.

The large bedroom has a walkin closet, king size bed, makeup counter, another large smart tv, and a large jet tub with fireplace.

Wifi throughout. Glider and gas grill are outside the front door. There is a laundromat across the street and a large park with splash pad and play equipment 1 block behind the apt. The sidewalk around the park is .9 mile if you want to get your exercise in.

Other things to note.
This apartment is downtown Chesterton. As such, there is traffic and train noise that could disturb some guests. White noise and/or ear plugs really help.

Access to the apartment is on a keypad lock with your own personal code. You will receive it the morning of your arrival and be activated at 3 pm check-in time.

Great stay!

I stayed one night in this apartment and had a great experience. The town is cute, the location is perfect, just a short drive from the Indiana Dunes, and the place was clean and convenient for a quick trip. The host communicated clearly and promptly, which made everything easy. Highly recommend!

The location and parking were perfect. The owner communication was excellent and they were accommodating to our needs! Unfortunately, there is a water damage/must smell that is overpowering throughout the unit. We could’ve used a couple more towels and an extra blanket as well.

Very clean, host was very responsive. Bed was comfy. Only thing I would change is sending check in/check out before. I didn't notice the binder until the morning after check in. But I also could have read it sooner.

Great place for the price! Accurate description. Perfect location near downtown and not far from beach. Plenty of great restaurants near by. If I had any complaints they would be nitpicking: There’s a train near by that runs every hour through the night, but a sound machine can solve that. The bed frame was pretty squeaky. Real clean apartment though, and no neighbors which was super nice!

The mold and mildew train

Pictures can’t capture the overwhelming smell of mold and mildew that hits you when you open the door; and the train tracks that are 25 yards away with a steady train every 15 minutes; 50 would be more appropriate; but 165 with all the fees; We won’t be back;

This is the perfect cozy spot. The proximity to whatever you might me interested in exploring is within a 5 minute walk or a 20 minute drive. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying here. Don is an attentive and informative host. I am sure we will be back.

Quaint getaway

The downtown apartment was in an ideal location. We were within walking distance of restaurants and parks. As described, it is not much to look at from the outside, but the inside is spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Quirky in a good way

The place is quirky, in a good way, and very comfortable. Location is terrific for the State Park Beach. I’m sure fitter people will enjoy what the national park has to offer. Nearby restaurants are wonderful.

Perfect getaway!

My wife and I absolutely loved this place! We don't even want to tell anyone about, we just want to keep it to ourselves. 🤣 Just kidding. It was perfect for a romantic getaway. We loved the location and the town. It was a nice quiet neighborhood with close access to everything. We'll definitely be back in the summer!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!

Highly Recommend

Thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi tub while watching a movie and eating dinner. The bed was very comfortable. I appreciated previous reviews of the musty smell and noise of trains. We came in and immediately opened the windows and enjoyed the sound of the trains. Only had a few hours at night to enjoy a few of the local bars. Wish we would have had more time to experience the town. We did get to enjoy a few hours the next morning at the National Park. Hosts were very accomodating to our needs, highly recommend.

Regretful

We pulled up to the 'corporate' building apartment. The glider and grill are right at the edge of the street sidewalk. Once inside everything was as the web pictures described. But as we entered the bedroom we noticed an odd smell, and once in the bathroom the smell was overwhelming. It smelled like mold. One of us started gagging and couldn't breath. There were two air purifiers in the apartment with one being in the bedroom. We contacted the host and stated that we could not stay and breath such strong odors. He commented that they had never had water issues. Maybe the smell was from the 'area' that led off the bathroom where a locked door was. He offered their home, but we had no idea what it was like or if cameras were in place - did not feel comfortable. The insurance we purchased did not cover this situation and we were out the money for the three nights.

The property has some opportunity for finishing or upgrading, just a few little things; but overall very adequate. Loved the roominess and easy access to downtown dining and activities, as well as closeness to Dunes parks. I would stay again; appreciated the cleanliness as well.
