The Waverly Retreat

Located an easy 1.6 miles to Indiana Dunes State Park, 2 miles South of Porter Beach, not even a mile from the South Shore train station with direct access to downtown Chicago, and 2 miles from the historic downtown Chesterton. This house has access to everything you could ask for. Not only is the location perfect if you want a relaxing weekend at the beach or some active hiking days on the many miles of trails, but the house itself is cozy and convenient with all the comforts of home.
