About this property

Country Woods Escape on 4 Acres - Your Home Away From Home! 7 min to Dunes!

This farmhouse has been in our family since 1947 when our grandfather built it for his wife and 3 daughters. It has been lovingly restored in 2025 as both a vacation home for us and you as our guests! The main floor boasts a large open concept living/dining/kitchen with dining for 11 (at 2 tables) a queen-size bedroom with a closet, and a full bath with 52" bathtub. There is a large mudroom in the rear porch for your beach gear and coolers, or to keep your shoes and coats after exploring the property. Upstairs, you will find a full bath and sleeping areas for 7. The West bedroom has a desk space, a closet, and a king bed. The East bedroom is a tandem bedroom. There is a queen and one twin in the main room and 2 twins in the dormer attic. Kids love this space! We do offer the home to a max of 7, but drop us a line to talk about accommodating 9. The front deck is a beautiful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a cocktail at the end of the day. There are 3 white rockers, a 2 top table as well as a sofa set that seats 5. In the rear, you'll find a fire pit and a wagon for transporting wood, a large picnic table with an umbrella, and a children's zip line. We have over 4 acres of open, walkable property. There is a basketball hoop on the East line of the property and a Volleyball net in the field on the West. In the mudroom, you will find all the sports equipment you need for a quick baseball game, or life-size Connect 4! Please note the basement, garage and red barn are not accessible for your stay. CWE is a septic and well water property that is triple filtered and softened. Please visit house rules for more info!

As a Northwest Indiana native, restoring my family's childhood home has been a dream of mine for years. We want to share its story and scenic setting with guests from across the world!

Why they chose this property

This land has been in our family for 4 generations! There is nothing like growing up on 20 acres of woods and land. This is something we hope you also will enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Country Woods Escape is your home away from home! Relax and unwind in the countryside between Chesterton and Michigan City. The location is perfect, nestled between all the major attractions of Northwest Indiana. Visit the Indiana Dunes (7 min drive), Heron Rookery (10 min walk), Washington Park Beach (15 min drive); Chesterton, Valparaiso, or Michigan City are just a hop, skip, and a jump away! Stay in and enjoy over 4 acres of open land!
