Summary: Knowing we were going to have an 80-pound chocolate lab with us, we opted to spend a little more on this property vs. other “pet-friendly” properties in the area because it truly seemed like it welcomed pets. It was a good move. The house and property were clean with little extras to ensure our Coconut was comfortable, too. We really appreciated Andrew’s link to some local recommendations, which helped us start our vacation on the right foot exploring some local favorites. From there, the locals were all very kind, welcoming and willing to share other places to try. It was an easy drive to the national and state parks, as well as some other hikes. We didn’t even have a chance to get down to Valparaiso, but did get over to South Bend for part of a day (be sure to note the jump into the eastern time zone if you have something planned for a certain time!). Overall, it was a great vacation and we highly recommend this property, even if you don’t have a dog. I didn’t notice any dog hair when we checked-in and it seemed very clean, so it should still be a solid choice, even if you don’t have a pet. Thanks!

Summary: 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 dog’s bowl and there were food and water bowls, multiple beds, and toys. It was so nice to stay in a place that’s not just “dog friendly”, but made for dogs and their owners! The host was beyond helpful during my stay and easy to communicate with. I can’t wait to return!

Summary: This home is in a great location, close to shopping and restaurants, and the Indiana Dunes National Park. The house was clean and met our needs perfectly. We ate breakfast there and then packed a lunch to take with us to the Dunes. We had 2 dogs with us and the backyard was plenty big for them to explore. Everyone had a great time! We loved the doggie decor.

Summary: My fiance and I wanted to find a dog friendly place so that we could take our 3yo old son to the dunes, but also bring our dog with us! Not only was this place homey and cute, but the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful as well! The fenced in yard is perfect and spacious for any dog, as well!

Summary: My kids & I booked a trip to check out Indiana Dunes State Park. This house was a 10 minute drive there, where we enjoyed the beach, the trails & more. The house is super pet friendly which our puppy enjoyed his first vacation as well. The owner was wonderful at communicating & allowing us in a bit early as we drove from Ohio. We would highly recommend this house & grateful to cross off another one of the Great Lakes off our list. Thank you!

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.
