Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Porter

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely Airbnb! The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, making our visit incredibly comfortable. The decor was charming and the location was perfect for exploring the area. As a small token of appreciation, I left a little gift in your yard. Thank you for such a delightful experience.

This was just what we needed after an eventful trip. The house sits right on the lake and everything you need to enjoy this setting was included (firewood, kayaks, condiments, etc.) The house had a beautiful view from the large windows in the dining area but also several sitting areas outside as well. The lake is nice and serene with geese, cranes and eagles sightings. The rooms were decorated very nicely and every space was so clean. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice relaxing weekend at the lake!

Charming historic home walking distance to quaint shops, European Market on Saturdays. Two porches- one screened in and the other with windows and screens were a special feature for relaxing and cooling down bug free and watching market-goers pass on the sidewalk walking their dogs. Pretty residential neighborhood near main st. Large formal dining area felt homey. Updated kitchen and bathroom in otherwise vintage home with older built-in cupboards and closet areas. If your travel party includes adults using different rooms, be aware one room is bunk bed, so an adult will not be able to sit up in bed. Mattresses were comfortable. Pillows are soft and low fill, so if you like a Medium/Firm maybe bring your own pillow. There is a train fairly close by, so if a light sleeper, something to create white noise may be helpful. Hosts provided a laminated sheet of instructions on counter, but we did not see until after trying to figure out shower- there is a ring on tub faucet that pulls down.

This is such a beautiful home! Got the chance to unplug and feel right at home within the trees. Lots to do in the area too, went to the zoo, winery, and a brewery. Laurel was great and had a bunch of notes around the home that were super informative and helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone who’s looking to slow things down and connect with nature.

Hello the stay was GREAT and the house was very nice , I would definitely recommend a stay at the bnb ! I would also rent again ! Thank you for having us

Eileen was a great host! The space was beautiful and plenty for my husband and our two kids. She was extremely responsive and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. Highly recommend if you’re looking to stay in Michigan City!

This place was perfect for our girls trip! The house was super cute and even seemed more spacious than it looked like in the photos. The check in process was very simple, and the house was very clean. There is a full kitchen that had all the basic supplies. The location is pretty good; it is not quite walkable to the beach but about a 10 ish minute drive. The host gave extremely helpful local recommendations for where to go to the beach and where to park! (just ask!) Just a note, the house is very creaky so you may want to bring earplugs or a white noise machine if you are a light sleeper. We were instructed not to use the backyard during our stay because of a large tree that had fallen down during a recent storm, but the host gave us a small refund for the inconvenience.

I absolutely adore this listing! It looks just like the photos, very easy instructions to follow, and a cute little neighborhood! Definitely check this place out the decorations and overall aesthetic of this house is adorable, not to mention it was very clean and homey definitely coming back :)

We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and welcoming. The bathroom had a nice shower with good water pressure. The bed was comfortable and provided a restful sleep. Any questions I had, Siobhan responded very quickly and pleasantly. We went to a beer festival in nearby Munster and this was a great location to stay in.

This was the perfect weekend stay. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Shopping and eating is all within walking distance. Definitely visit the Washington park zoo!

Great place. I wish I would have gotten there at check-in time, so I could have enjoyed the river more!

Such a perfect place for a fun quick getaway close to Indiana dunes state park and Washington park beach. Walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, outlet mall and farmers market.

We had an awesome stay at Hannah’s. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and we loved all the recommendations she shared with us. We would stay again!

Really great place to stay. Everything that you need to make simple meal if you don’t want to eat out all the time. Restaurants close by that you can walk to. Place is clean.

We had an amazing time! Me and my boyfriend stayed for one night, the patio and dock were super cozy and we really enjoyed sitting out there at night just listening to music and having some drinks. Super nice area, the beach isn't too far and they have some fun bars and restaurants in the area. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

This place was great! Just blocks from the university which was very convenient for visiting my son. The space was organized well and provided everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Zirrell was a wonderful host. She always responded and her instructions were very thorough. She was also very understanding when our flight got delayed and we checked in later than expected. The apartment was clean and looked just like the pictures. It was a wonderful stay!

Great stay at Anne’s place. She was very communicative and went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. We would definitely recommend to anyone coming to the Chicago area!

The time spent here was wonderful. This place has everything you need to feel at home away from home. Everything was clean and comfortable. The area was also really nice with tons of food and drinks within walking distance. The blue line is a short walk away and the busses run on the corner. I would definitely stay here again when coming back to Chicago.

I had an amazing stay! Place was very accurate to the post on Airbnb and the host was very polite with clear instructions, and check in! Thank you for providing such an amazing Chicago experience for me and my husband!

Great host and great stay! Beautiful home. Thank you so much!

This is a WONDERFUL one bedroom apartment that is both private and spacious! The owner/host has the space fabulously decorated with an eclectic mix of original contemporary artwork and antiques. Nothing is generic about the space and it has been outfitted for guests with loving care. The host, Kaye, clearly puts much trust in her guests with her charming decor and furnishings. The amount of space, the privacy and the home-y feel make it a place we'd love to return to.

The apartment was clean and spatious, better than in the pictures. It's located in a corner of Hyde Park, at a 15 minute walking distance from the University of Chicago. It is a very residential area, with not many shops or restaurants near by, but if you walk 15 minutes east you will find bars, grocery stores and a few restaurants. I came to do research in the library's archive so it was very convenient. I had some problems with the door code sequence, but Erika was very helpful and responsive. My only suggestion is that more detailed information about the check in is provided, because not everbody is familiarized with lockers and codes! But my general impression was very positive! I'd definitely stay there again.

Affordable, quick & easy booking / check-in & check-out…it’s great spot for a quick trip to chicago for a night or two! We used the parking lot area across the alleyway, rented one of the spot hero spaces which was not the most convenient parking situation but it’s the city sooo kinda usual! The ONLY thing i wish that had been mentioned was that it was right next door to a fire dept. one pair of ear plugs were provided but just ya wish i had researched the location just a lil bit more… thanks again for welcoming us to stay :)
