"Debbie was the most beautiful and warm hearted person we have met in town. From the very moment we were looking to park our trailer she step out and guided us through. She gave us a warm welcome and guided us through everything. She would make sure we are situated in. Will be back soon!!"

The Porter Nook! 5 minutes to Indiana Dunes, Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed 5 nights here. Everything listed was accurate. I really appreciate Jessica’s hospitality and quick response! This house was perfect for our needs and clean. Really loved having the large living room and sofa is very nice. The pots and pans looked brand new also. There are a couple pubs and a Mexican restaurant, also a convenient store in walking distance, but they do not bring in additional noise at night. Only made it easier to walk to get dinner one night ! Thanks Jessica!"
