Cabin 53 steps from Porter Beach on Lake Michigan: Family & Pet-Friendly

This cabin has the best view of Lake Michigan and the Chicago Skyline, inside and outside. This delightfully open cabin with two bedrooms and a perfect view of Porter Beach and Lake Michigan is nestled in the Indiana Dunes and just 53 steps away from magnificent Lake Michigan. The only thing between you and the lake is 53 stairs and a lovely sand beach. There is sleeping for 4 currently but the couch can be used to sleep 2 more people, all 3 beds are queen size. Ample seating in the living area includes dining room chairs and living room sofa with spinning chairs. The dining room table can be expanded to meet 9 persons dining needs or the leaves can be easily hidden away for a more intimate dining experience. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with a full size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, Kuerig cup coffee maker, and Central Air (Furnace/Air Conditioning). All linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash clothes and dish towels, bedding) are provided. There is a full wrap around deck with chairs and a Weber propane gas grill. The beach is a public beach, about a half mile from the main Dunes State Park Beach, we have beach toys for children of all ages, footballs, spike ball, soccer balls and other beach games. This is the top level of a 2 story cabin with 2 parking spaces, there are no people staying in the basement of the property, it is unfinished. Should you want to venture beyond the beach numerous nearby attractions include Chesterton European Market (Saturdays), hiking, biking, dining, breweries, shopping, museums, art galleries, an arboretum, golfing, waterpark, farmers markets, live theatre, movie theatres, skating, bowling and much more.

Fun stay for family

View and sounds of lake very soothing. We liked all the beach towels and coffee k cups! The motion controlled night lights were very safe and we loved the mirrors in both bathrooms. Short drive to park visitor center and grocery stores.

Absolutely breathtaking, ready to go back!

My husband, 2 year old daughter, and I needed to find a place last minute to stay in Northern Indiana and stumbled upon this. We had no idea that there was a National/State Sand Dune park, or a beautiful beach in this area. We were beyond excited to find this beautiful gem of a cottage to stay in.

Amazing Views!

This cabin has an amazing views of Lake Michigan!! We loved our stay here...so peaceful and relaxing. The cabin was clean and the hosts provided lots of little extras (shampoo, bar soap, coffee pods). It is not a "luxury" feel....but everything is well maintained and very clean. We will definitely stay here again!!!

Incredible View!

Our 6 adults and 2 dogs stayed for a quiet weekend. The home was so cozy, and full of the amenities we needed. The beds are worth mentioning…hubby and I both commented on how comfortable they were. The view of Lake Michigan is superb and the wall of windows was perfect. Also worth noting, there were USB ports all over the home, which was so convenient! Host was friendly, clear, and readily available. Neighbors were friendly, beach was lovely. 5 star property
