Parking is very limited at the cabin and we still haven't entirely figured out our parking situation. We may encourage car pooling from the hotel area in downtown Chesterton, and we can help coordinate this. But for the sake of ease, here are directions to the cabin from all points. For those of you staying in Chesterton, you will most likely exit 94 at Exit 26A and head south on Rt. 49 to reach your hotel. We've also provided directions from downtown Chesterton to the cabin.
From Chicago (By Car):Take 94/90 E (Dan Ryan) and stay on 94E out of the city and into Indiana. Or take the toll road if you prefer.
Stay on 94 E until you reach exit 22B for Porter, and exit.
This will spit you out on 20 East (if you see truck stops & fireworks, you're in the right spot). Take 20 about 2 mi until you come to the stoplight at the water park (Waverly Road). Take a left at the light and stay on Waverly (cross 12, cross RR tracks, take some very sharp corners as Waverly turns into Wabash). Keep driving until you see the lake.
Take a right at the stop sign (Duneland Drive) and follow the curve of the drive to the left.
From Chicago (By Train):Pick up the
South Shore Line at Millenium Station or another downtown station and take it to the Dune Park stop. This stop is very close to the cabin (though not easily walkable) and you’ll likely be able to hitch a ride from someone. Just let us know in advance if you plan to come or go by train.
From Indianapolis:
Take 65 as if to Chicago until you come to the exit for 94 E toward Detroit.
Take 94 E until you reach exit 22B for Porter, and exit.
This will spit you out on 20 East (if you see truck stops & fireworks, you're in the right spot). Take 20 about 2 mi until you come to the stoplight at the water park (Waverly Road). Take a left at the light and stay on Waverly (cross 12, cross RR tracks, take some very sharp corners as Waverly turns into Wabash). Keep driving until you see the lake.
Take a right at the stop sign (Duneland Drive) and follow the curve of the drive to the left.
From South Bend:
Take 80/90 W to exit 31 (Rt 49). Take 49 N. about 3 miles (past the 94 exchange) and make a left onto Rt 12. At the bottom of the ramp turn left. Waverly Road is the first road on your right.
Turn right onto Waverly (you will cross RR tracks and take some very sharp corners as Waverly turns into Wabash). Keep driving until you see the lake. Take a right at the stop sign (Duneland Drive) and follow the curve of the drive to the left.
Flying In?
We can help you get to the cabin. In Chicago, the closest airport is Midway (about 45 – 60 mins from the cabin). O’Hare is about 1.5 hours from the cabin, depending on traffic.
Directions from the Chesterton "strip":Take 49 N. and cross over the exits for Hwy 94. Take the exit for Rte 12 on your left (about 1 mi from Indian Boundary Road intersection).
Turn left on 12. After about 1/16 mile, take your first right on Waverly Road. At this point you will cross RR tracks and take some very sharp corners as Waverly turns into Wabash. Keep driving until you see the lake. Take a right at the stop sign (Duneland Drive) and follow the curve of the drive to the left.
