Lots to do at the 'Pool Barn' too. Outside is pool, hot tub, grill, firepit, playground, & we are on hike/bike trail. Inside is billiards, ping pong, air hockey, darts, popashot, foosball, board games, large smart tv, 6 beds, couch, & full kitchen. No cleaning fee! The space The Pool Barn inside is ONE BIG SPACE of about 1200 sq ft. It includes a full bath/shower. There is a full-size kitchen with stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and Keurig. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dinnerware, and silverware. We have 5 queen size beds, 3 always set up and 2 spares. It is all one big open space that in addition to the kitchen and beds also includes large couch and TV, movies, stereo speakers, wifi, darts, ping pong, pool table, air hockey, foosbal, golf putting, and basketball shot.

We would love to be your host and will strive to make your stay as convenient, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible! There are many reasons to love this area, and love staying at the Pool Barn! Discover our large, clean sand beaches, marvel at the size and power of Lake Michigan, catch a sunset view of Chicago, explore our numerous bike and hike trails, visit our quaint downtown restaurants and shops, and you'll understand why our Indiana Dunes State Park and Indiana Dunes National Park have over 4.5 million visitors each year! We are located 1 hour from Chicago or South Bend, 20 minutes from the Illinois & Michigan borders, and a few minutes from the sand beaches and variety of trails at the Dunes State and National Parks. We are conveniently located just off the expressway in Chesterton/Porter, Indiana. Explore why we love our area, and relax and play at our place too! Step outside the Pool Barn to soak in the hot tub and swim in the pool. Gather around the campfire to chat, make smores or roast a hot dog, or quietly find peace staring into the dancing flames as you feel the soothing heat on your face while the crisp air cools your backside. Unlimited free firewood is provided too. Cookout anytime, rain or shine, with our well lit, covered Weber gas grill. Relax in the hammock, while the kids swing, slide, climb and explore the treehouse. Inside the Pool Barn, entertain yourself and others with our various full size table games and board games.

Book now to experience the Pool Barn for yourself, or continue reading to learn more. The Pool Barn We built a 36x72 pole barn and finished half as additional garage space and the other half as a recreation space. Then we added a 20x40 in-ground heated pool, hot tub, gas grill, shaded picnic area, swings, slide, treehouse, and campfire area. We have cornhole bag toss and bocci ball for outside too. Our Camper is also in the driveway. It is listed separately on Airbnb as "The Pool Barn Camper". Outside spaces are shared with our family and the Camper guests. The pool has several loungers. It is only 5 foot at the deepest so not suited for diving, but great for children, water volleyball and just relaxing throughout. We have floaties, balls, goggles, and snorkels too. The pool area has night lighting while enjoying an evening swim. We keep the pool open May 1 through October 31. Hot Tub is open and enjoyable 365 days a year! We provide bath towels. It is a good idea to bring your own towel for the pool, hot tub, and beach. The campfire area has plenty of seating space and abundant firewood available at no additional charge. If we are home we'll even get it started for you. As a matter of respect for our family, neighbors, and Camper guests, all must remain inside during outside quiet hours of 10pm to 8am. Bring your bikes! We are on the Duneland Prairie Bike Trail. Great trails next door in the Indiana Dunes National Park for hiking or running too. We also have a canoe and 2 kayaks available to take a river trip or use on Lake Michigan for only $25 per boat. We'll also provide transportation both ways for $20. While you are visiting, learn how to save your life and save your family! Ask for a free preview of "The One Move." Want more? Experience "The One Move" with a 3 hour introduction to our proprietary system of Protective Tactics. Guest access The Pool Barn is separate from our home with keypad lock so you have private access to come and go as you please. The Pool Barn driveway is at 210 Howe Rd, Porter IN 46304. It will be ready and unlocked for you at time of check-in. The inside is all yours. Remember that all outside amenities are shared with our family and guests and the guests in the Pool Barn Camper. Outside amenities are open from 8am to 10pm. Other things to note This is our home and we live in a residential area. Though our homes aren't close together, out of respect and consideration for our family and neighbors, outside amenities are closed 10pm to 8am. All must remain inside during quiet hours to assure quiet. Inside you can play music, games, talk and laugh and stay up all night if you'd like as long as all remain inside and doors and windows remain closed. We charge for each person on property regardless of how many stay overnight. We are just asking you to cover our costs. When you enter the correct number of guests at time of booking the per person fee is automatically included in the total price. We wash the bed linens, towels, and make sure everything is clean and sanitized between every stay. We want you to enjoy the same (or better) cleanliness and comfort that you expect in a nice hotel. Our large space and recreational amenities are the primary attraction. More people means more expense for upkeep, wear and tear, and amenity replacement both inside and out. We have another listing on property. The "Pool Barn Camper" is parked in the driveway of the Pool Barn. Guests staying in the camper share the use of the outside amenities such as the pool, hot tub, grill, and campfire. The pool and lounge area is plenty large enough to social distance. The camper guests do have their own grill and campfire area too. We recommend the hot tub not be shared, but rather that Barn guests and Camper guests take turns. Camper guests will have no access to inside your space in the Pool Barn. We have a large dog named Remington. He stays in our house which is separate from the Pool Barn. Remi is a black German Shepherd. His bark can be a bit scary but he loves people. He gets let out on occasion and may bark for a minute, but he is friendly if you are too. If you don't like dogs, just let us know. The Pool area is fenced and we can shut the gates to keep him away from you. Finally, our home is in a wooded setting and we are one block from the Dunes National Park. As such, we have birds and animals of many kinds in the area, and who visit our property. You may see anything from deer eating our apples in the yard, to a mouse or two seeking your snacks in the Barn or Camper. You may also see coyote, fox, raccoons, possums, squirrels, chipmunks, and moles. We have butterflies, dragonflies, and fireflies. We also have other flies of all sorts and mosquitos and spiders too. We spray for mosquitos and insects, and we have poison and traps out for the moles and mice, but that doesn’t completely prevent them from visiting. We also have many birds from bald eagles and cranes, to hummingbirds, and bats in the evening too. There is nothing in our area likely to harm you though. We have no bears or large cats. Even poisonous snakes are very rare here. Our water at the beach is fresh water too, not salt water. That means no sharks or jellyfish to be concerned about. We love our nature here, and we hope you will too.
