Surrounded by towering trees and nestled along a trail that leads to your private access point on the Little Calumet River, this home truly offers a nature-filled escape. A custom kayak launch invites you to set out and explore the water. After a day of hiking, paddling, or visiting the nearby Indiana Dunes National and State Parks, return to roast marshmallows by the firepit.
