Places to Stay
Warm Sands, Even Warmer Welcome.
Make tracks for nostalgia in a vintage rail car turned B&B. Find yourself lost—and found—at an old-world, Tudor-style retreat in the middle of the forest. From unexpected digs to laid-back, beachside family getaways where shoes are optional, you’ll find a stay to suit every travel style tucked somewhere between the dunes and our historic communities.
Find Your Perfect Stay
A convenient stay located near the green? What about a sprawling 80-acre lakeside resort? Or a country retreat heaped in Old World charm? Your unique getaway deserves a distinct accommodation.
Looking for a warm welcome with a personal touch? Feel like family in the Indiana Dunes with intimate lodging ranging from nature-inspired retreats in the woods to romantic garden getaways.
Pitch a tent under an old-growth forest's canopy. Camp in comfort with modern amenities. Either way, you'll find a community of like-minded adventurers around the campfire.
The comforts of home meet luxurious amenities. Who says everyone needs to share a room on vacation? Tailor your Indiana Dunes getaway with a rental that accommodates the whole crew.
The best way to visit like a local, is to learn from a local. Our Visitor Center staff is ready to help you choose everything from hiking trails to coffee shops to accommodations.
