Good to Know

Questions we get.

Is the mini golf course open?

Not at this time. The mini golf course is not available right now and will be reset in Spring/Summer 2027. The basement is unfinished and open for laundry only.

How far is The Pool House from Chicago?

About 35 to 40 minutes to downtown, right off I-80/I-94. Guests often do the city one day and Indiana Dunes the next.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is 4 PM. Check-out is 10 AM.

When is the pool open?

The pool is seasonal and weather-dependent, usually open in the warm months and closed for winter. Every guest signs a short pool waiver before swimming, and there is no lifeguard, so children need an adult with them at the water.

Is the house good for kids?

Yes. The bunk room has a twin-over-twin bunk (upper bunk up to 150 lbs, lower up to 200 lbs), a kids' project table and its own half bath. The living room has a shelf of board games, and the yard is fully fenced.

Are pets allowed?

Pets are welcome. Please tell us before you book. The pet fee is $150 per pet, with a maximum of two pets.

Can we host a party or event?

No. It's a quiet residential street and the house is for the group that books it. No parties or events, and quiet hours run 10 PM to 8 AM.

Why book direct instead of through Airbnb?

It's the same house with no hidden fees. Booking direct keeps the service fee in your pocket, payment runs through Stripe's secure checkout, and you're texting directly with us before and during your stay.
