We can provide you with a copy of the Waiver prior to booking upon request. We live on the premises. When you first arrive you will come to our house first. From here we will show you where to park and take you down to your rental. You can walk for miles in either direction down the beach. This is a very safe area. There are grocery stores, theatres, dining, museums, shopping all within a 10-20 minute drive. It is best to have a car to get around. The South Shore train stop (Dunes Park Station) is just 5 minutes away. It is 1 hour to Chicago by train or driving. My sister, Ericka, and I manage the cottages together. They have been in our family for almost 100 years. We look forward to sharing our love of the Indiana Dunes and our beach cottage with you. Thank you, Susan
