Kids love this space! We do offer the home to a max of 7 adults. The front deck is a beautiful spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a cocktail at the end of the day.

This was the perfect home for our family of six to stay. It was very clean and well kept. The host was easy to communicate with and cared that our experience was a good one. We took this trip to visit the Indiana dunes national Park and this was a great location to be close to food as well as the park and the visitor center. (I do suggest you bring bug spray. It is a must at the home and the national park) :)Would choose again!Blessings

Best air b&b ever! It was fully stocked of things that we May have forgotten like s’mores ingredients and marshmallow roasting sticks. Lots of yard games to keep the kids busy. The house was very clean and comfortable and the host was easy to get a hold of if we needed something. We really enjoyed our stay!

The home had a nice, large property that provided some seclusion yet an easy drive to the lake and conveniences in town. The home was well equipped and clean. Laura was easy to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Laura

Host profile image

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!
