Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Porter County

Great location—just a few minutes from Indiana Dunes National and State Parks, and very close to a convenient travel center. Michigan City is also nearby for extra exploring. The backyard was a real highlight—peaceful and beautifully set up for families to relax and spend quality time together. Highly recommend!

Tiffany and John were great host! The house perfectly matched the description and was the perfect spot for a short weekend trip. The house was very homey and had everything you could need. The big yard was a huge plus as we had our dog with us! Tiffany and John were very responsive and very accommodating throughout our stay especially when we had to add another person to our reservation half way through our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here as it definitely feels like a second home!

We had a wonderful time at the Porter house! It was as-expected and it had everything we needed. Proximity to the beach was amazing and the backyard forest was so magical. It felt very secluded but still close to everything. Would recommend.

This was an awesome place to stay. Beautiful on the inside. They had everything you think you would need from beach towels to toothpaste! If we come back they way we would definitely stay here again!

This was the most perfect weekend getaway! My family loved staying with our dogs in this home! Ryan is a great host!

This home is a lot bigger than it looks. The beds are comfy, the deck is very nice, fire pit was handy and the separate finished basement was a plus. Thank you for hosting us! I will come back if needed!

We had such a great stay earlier this month, so we decided to come back for the long weekend ! Thanks again Lori for a wonderful stay in your lovely home and being a great host - we look forward to coming back again !

Donald’s place was great. Nice setting, peaceful and great amenities. Prompt communication to answer questions and very accommodating. Would recommend this place to relax and enjoy nature.

Very nice little cabin, quiet & peaceful I enjoyed my stay. The water does smell like sulfur so anyone who is sensitive to smells might need to be aware.

We absolutely love staying here, it is our go to staycation home. Lisa is always available if we need anything. This was our second stay and we plan to come yearly. Our kiddos love the pool and love how close stores and Dairy Queen of course are in walking distance :)

Basilio escorted us right to the lot and gave us the information we needed. The space was a perfect stay for two adults and three preteens. We enjoyed the fire pit and provided wood, which was a nice amenity. They also provided ample lawn furniture, so we didn’t even need to get our bag chairs out of the car. The camper was clean and put together, everything matched the description - however I would plan to bring more cooking basics (think, pots/pans, baking sheets) if you plan to cook inside. We utilized the microwave which also works as an air fryer, and the fire pit to cook, so it did not affect the quality of our stay. There were extra blankets & pillows, and towels provided. Along with trash bags & toilet paper. Campground is peaceful and quiet, and there are restaurants/grocery stores within 10-15 minute drive. The location near to the Indiana National Dunes was convenient, as well. Overall, I would recommend a stay here to any family looking for a laid back vacation.

Great experience, we loved the amenities!

The Denali loft was superb! It was stylish, comfortable, private, pleasant in rain and shine!!! Our hosts provided breakfast baskets to the loft so we could sleep in, along with every necessary amenity. This was a perfect respite place from long work hours. We enjoyed a day at Lake Michigan and a day in Chicago (taking the South Shore Train). Dinners at Ivy’s Bohemian House and Lucrezian Cafe were VERY happy surprises! We would definitely recommend Vicki and Doug’s hospitality. Bailey the Hound came up to say goodbye💕.

This was a wonderful Airbnb. It was very clean and the decor was lovely. It was a short drive to Indiana Dunes State Park and restaurants in the area. Very convenient. We really enjoyed the heated pool and the dog friendly atmosphere. My dog loved the yard. Would 100% stay again if in the area.

A perfect place to make our home away from home while attending a family wedding. So much easier than staying in a hotel with a multi-family trip involving small children. We were able to meet everyone's needs and were near to grocery, resteraurants, parks entertainment and family. Thank you Kyle for being an excellent host to our family!

Didn’t hear any complaints from the crew that stayed at Mikes place! I would book again!

We had an awesome last minute stay with Robert. His family and dogs were extremely friendly. We utilized the pond and fishing poles and had a blast, Mike the dog is an avid fisher pup and came to sit with us while we fished. It’s a very quiet and peaceful area. We forgot a few things and Robert was more than happy to assist us and was extremely quick with responses and communication. We would love to come back and stay again. I highly highly recommend this spot. It looks just like the photos and the fire pit was a relaxing way to calm down at the end of the night. Thanks Robert! :-)

I have stayed at several Airbnb’s in Valparaiso and this location was great! I didn’t need to use my car as everything was close and accessible. The home itself was comfortable and well appointed. Will be staying again!

This was ur second stay at Andrew’s and it didn’t disappoint. He worked with us last minute to make a reservation so we had somewhere to stay. A friend of ours passed away and we didn’t have a lot of planning time. We love that the place has a pack n play, high chair, and some kids toys & dishes. Things like that make a stay with children much smoother. Thanks again for another great experience.

Eddi’s place was nice. Felt warm and welcoming. Had lots for the kids to do. The only downfall was the screened Patio had missing screens that the handyman didn’t get a chance to repair during our stay. So We didn’t use it in fear of mosquitoes (after the fresh rain) Overall a great place for large families/gatherings

Absolutely magical place. Truly isolated in the midst of a small meadow (no close neighbors), the cabin is also excellently appointed with everything you could possibly need, high quality kitchen and bathroom fittings, and lots of little quirky touches. Full length windows surround the living space, with stunning views that I could gaze at all day. Ryan was friendly, helpful and quick to respond. Can’t think of a single thing that needed improvement. We had a fabulous time and are already dreaming of the next time we can come back!

We really enjoyed staying at Annmarie's place! It was a good size for 4 adults (and two small dogs) to all be very comfortable. We loved the fenced in back yard, too. And we loved the quick drive to the Indiana Dunes National Park. Just a heads up for those considering staying here, the floors are not level in places.
