Really nice place, looks recently updated. The host was great, made things easy and allowed us an early check in for our kids to nap. Close to the National park and several great beaches.

Nice place!

The house was welcoming and inviting! The host was nice enough to let us check in 2 hours early because we had gotten there early for my grandson to play baseball! There was plenty of room in the house for all 7 of us to be comfortable! I would stay here again!

Miller Beach

Just a few blocks from Main Street Miller Beach with coffee shop and local restaurants. House feels brand new after recent renovation. Minutes away from Miller Beach where our kids loved playing in the sand and water. Close to Indiana Dunes National Park which we loved exploring.

Nice little house worked out great for me. It was just me so I really only use the upstairs. I would say the only downfall was silverware and maybe some more cooking utensils.

Very cute and clean house!

This was a very nice place, comfortable and clean. We came to Gary to visit Indiana Dunes and spend a day on the beach. The location was good for both, the neighborhood was very residential. There were no claims of having an outdoor space, so the listing wasn't misleading at all, but it was a bit of a disappointment that there was no place to relax outside. The distance to the beach and Indiana Dunes was perfect. There were some great restaurants close by as well.

Indiana Dunes adventure

My cousins and I gather once a year at a halfway point to get together and this year it landed us in Gary IN.This place is in a good location from the Indiana Dunes and the main strip in Gary. It is walking distance from 18th St Brewery and very close to Miller Beach which has a super cute ice cream shop.The house is very clean and the host is attentive. The house is set up to not waste a single inch of space.

The house was really cute and as pictured. Missed having some outdoor space to spread out and the neighborhood wasn't the best. Also, the thermostat kept moving at night and we all woke up sweating with it set at 74 degrees.
