5 Bedroom House in Wheeler, Porter

Only two miles from the Indiana Dunes National Park and State Park, "The Nook" of the Indiana Dunes is your family's special place to stay. Sitting on over an acre of land in a quiet and friendly neighborhood, the back yard has space to play, view wildlife, and gather around the rustic fire pit to enjoy evenings with the family. Conveniently located near Highways 20 and 49, The Nook's location is excellent for pleasing a variety of vacationers in all four seasons with nearby beautiful hiking trails, biking trails, Indiana Dunes State Park and National Park, the South Shore train station (for an easy ride to Chicago), the quaint and charming town of Chesterton with its unique shops and eateries, and of course Lake Michigan's famous sandy beaches.
Originally a farmhouse built nearly 100 years ago, The Nook combines that cozy farmhouse feel with modern comfort. The one-of-a-kind layout of this home is well-suited for two families to vacation together. When you are not dining in the nearby restaurants, enjoy cooking and eating in the roomy, well-equipped kitchen. Bring some charcoal and enjoy grilling out with the backyard park-style charcoal grill.
When a rainy day keeps your family from enjoying the outdoors, head on over to the game room above the garage for a round of ping pong or video games.
YOU CAN START YOUR VACATION OFF RIGHT WITH AN EARLY 1:00 PM CHECK-IN. TAKE YOUR TIME GOING HOME WITH A 1:00 PM CHECK-OUT, at your convenience with no person-to-person contact.

Summary: This house has everything you could want for families and fit our three couples and 6 children no problem. The house has separate "wings" with their own bathrooms, which was amazing for a group like ours. We were all able to eat together in the huge kitchen and stay up talking in the living room without bothering the kids. There's a really neat game room over the garage with foosball, ping pong, a PS4, and an arcade. The home was clean, well-stocked, and a short drive to the dunes. We have stayed here before and will be back many more times!

Summary: We always take the family to a property over the new years holiday. We enjoyed our time. All of the little touches made our stay great. The house is clean and bright and we had more than enough room for all 12 of us. The host is very prompt will all communication and they provided us with all we needed. The nook is amazing.

Summary: This property was perfect for our family! We stayed over Christmas visiting family who lives in the area. House was very large and well equipped. We cooked several meals onsite and the kitchen had everything we needed and more! Plenty of space for a large family. The house was separated into 2 areas which was perfect for us with multi-generation needs. One side was cozy and quiet and had a nice ability for quiet and privacy if necessary. It was very cold so we weren’t really able to use any of the outside amenities but it looked like a great place to visit to see the Dunes in season. We would definitely come back and re-rent for a family vacation.

Summary: To begin with, the host was always very kind and responded fairly quickly to any and all questions I had regarding the propery. The property was well kept, clean and spacious. We really enjoyed out stay from arrival to departure. There was plenty of cookware and the kitchen is arguably the highlight of the house for me. We plan to book with this host again. The only complaint we had was that the room that is right where the kichen is did not have sufficient heat as the other rooms did. The heater on the inside of the room was used but the room never got as warm as the others. Apart from that, everything was great!
