My husband and I really enjoyed our 2 night stay here with our puppy! The home is beautiful and cozy, and itâs located perfectly with close access to the beach and many wonderful restaurants.
This super cute doggie themed home was the perfect getaway with our dogs. It was very clean & nice with a large, fenced back yard. The area is very closely located to the Indiana Dunes as well as fun shops & nice restaurants, wineries, etc. This is a great location, especially if you really like trains!
The home was perfect for dogs, like a 5 star pet resort! There was an on-going dog theme that was adorable, toys, treats, a crate but the back yard was the best. Fully fenced, an immaculately clean home, well-supplied and a delight. It is also close to the national and state parks. Loved every minute here and Andrew could not have been a better host. Many thanks. I hope to return again.
This property caters to dog owners, which is a great find. The property is in a quiet neighborhood and has everything you need for a long stay. It is just a 10 minute drive from the Indiana Dunes National Park with great trails and beaches along Lake Michigan. The only reason I didn't give five stars is there was a bad smell in the garage and you have to go through the garage to get to the fenced in back yard, which we did frequently as we were traveling with our dog. Overall we were satisfied with our stay.
My husband and I and our two small dogs needed a place to stay for a couple of weeks while our home was being renovated⊠This cute home was well equipped with everything we needed, as well as a huge backyard that was fenced for our dogs⊠Easy access to get in , easy access to check out and the host Andrew was always available⊠I would highly recommend his properties anytime, especially if you need a dog friendly affordable place to stay as we didâŠ
I was looking for a dog-friendly stay within a reasonable distance to Chicago for a weekend getaway, and this place popped up! It was exactly what I was looking for. The proximity to the park is unbeatable (even in winter) and the fully fenced yard gave my dog and me a break from our city apartment. The dog themed decor is super cute, and also practical! I forgot my dogâs bowl and there were food and water bowls, multiple beds, and toys. It was so nice to stay in a place thatâs not just âdog friendlyâ, but made for dogs and their owners! The host was beyond helpful during my stay and easy to communicate with. I canât wait to return!
Home owner was very friendly, helpful, and prompt with answers for questions. House was very dog friendly with many accommodations including fenced yard, dog beds, dog toys and more! Location of home is close to several amenities like nice restaurants, wineries, breweries, outlet mall and Indians Dunes. Bathroom is a little tight on space.
Our stay was a weekend family trip- our first trip traveling with our pups. Itâs not easy to find a place that will allow two large Labradors but this house was perfect! The dogs loved the large fenced yard and all the places to chill inside, and we appreciated the little details (the guestbook photo wall was adorable).This location was easy access to hiking and beach time in the state and national park while still having the quiet of a neighborhood. We loved visiting the farmers market and restaurants in downtown Chesterton and could easily hop over to Valparaiso and Michigan City for a little more nightlife (while knowing the pups were safe in a comfy space).
Me and my significant other wanted a nice little getaway from life. Being only 20 years old itâs so hard to find that. Iâm so glad we were able to book. We didnât bring our fur baby but if we did she would have loved it and the house kept us thinking of her. The location is perfect your 5-10 minutes from the store and the dunes and beach. We were able to zip from the house to the beach to back home to eat and everything being so close made doing things less of a hassle. The host responded very timely with us and made sure we were comfortable and able to get ahold of them if we needed. The house was also very clean and cozy!!
The house is designed with dogs in mind, the fenced-in yard was so handy for 6am bathroom trips. Attached garage and thoughtful patio layout were also nice touches. House was clean, well provisioned and amazingly quiet while being close to major roads, stores and restaurants.
