Convenience meets relaxation and historic charm! This adorable vacation rental is a home divided into two apartments: an upper and a lower. It's the perfectg solution for families or friends traveling together who prefer a little bit of privacy. Guests can cook their own meal in a fully stocked kitchen, or simply walking to any of the wonderful local restaurants to experience a variety of delicious cuisines.

Guests will have their own dedicated spaces. Each apartment contains its own full kitchen, full bathroom, and full living room. The upper apartment has two bedrooms and the lower apartment has three. Keyless entry allows an easy self check-in to either apartment, and you will be greeted with a manual of suggestions for local restaurants and fun things to do nearby.

SAFETY NOTES:
1. This home is NOT baby-proofed. (I do not have outlet blockers, no furniture is strapped to walls, stairs do not have gates, there are no safety locks on cabinets, etc.) Some windows are low to the ground where curious kids could easily get out. Children must be accompanied by adults at all times, and guests are responsible for the safety of their children.
2. Guests must be able to climb stairs to access either apartment, as there are stairs up to the front door of the lower apartment, and a full flight of steep stairs up to the upper apartment. Those who are not able bodied may not be able to easily navigate the home; although the house was updated in 2024, the age of the house does not render it handicap equipped.

ADDITIONAL INFO:
While I am happy to welcome guests of all backgrounds, I will only be accepting booking requests from:

--AirBnB users who are "verified" and who already have multiple positive reviews from other hosts.
--Renters that are above the age of 25.
--Renters who are NOT bringing pets. No pets allowed.
--A maximum of 12 guests per reservation. Extra guests are not allowed.
—I value my relationship with my neighbors and fellow renters, so events/gathering/parties are not to be held by guests. In order to keep the unit in excellent condition for future guests, I am firm on these rules. I apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

While I do tend to be a “hands off” hosts, please note that I live nearby and will be available via messaging/phone should you need anything.

CHECK-IN INFO:
--Guests who book will receive detailed check-in instructions on the morning of their scheduled arrival. All of this will be communicated through AirBnB messenger.
--A manual with our favorite local attractions will be provided. Please let me know if you’d like this in advance. I have tons of recommendations and love to support the best local businesses.
--Please note that Chesterton is on Central Standard Time (CST), the same as Chicago. Check-in is between 4 and 7 p.m.; check-out is at 10 a.m. (unless other arrangements have been made with me).
--My cancellation policy is moderate.

This house is a duplex. The units are NOT connected to each other.
