About this property

Quiet Indiana Dunes retreat near hiking and beach

Welcome to our funky and relaxing space in the Indiana Dunes! This rental is one of two private apartments in our home. Conveniently located near the bike trail, one mile from South Shore train station, lake street shops and dining and one mile from Lake Michigan. A great home base for exploring the Dunes, around the corner from the Paul H. Douglas Center Environmental education and Miller Woods Trail. Perfect spot for artists, nature lovers, remote work, family and couples get away.
The apartment is the main floor of our home. There is a secondary apartment where we live located in the basement of the house
Your space includes a well equipped large kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, 2 bedrooms and an office/library with a fold out couch we can set up when needed. There are tons of reading materials in the library(sorry no TV) and brochures and maps of the Indiana Dunes.
There are 3 parking spaces in front of the house for guest use. Please do not park in front of our neighbors houses. Front door entry with keypad. Feel free to enjoy the front garden but please do not enter the fenced side yard.
We live in the basement apartment of the house but your unit is completely private and you will not likely see us during your stay. If you need anything at all feel free to message. The apartment is very private and there is very good sound insulation between your space and our apartment downstairs. We rarely hear our guests and love when we do hear people enjoying our home. That being said, loud music and loud footsteps in the living room during our quiet hours can be quite disruptive as we sleep under the living room. Quiet Hours 11pm-7am
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and a dining table.

This retreat was exactly as advertised. Cute, quiet. Close to the beach and the dunes. A great home base for our family's adventures. And lots of towels which were much needed after several adventures to the beaches.

What a lovely house apartment! Mostly quiet, comfortable beds, big fluffy bath towels, and lots of room for our group! It was warm as AC wasn’t in every room, but acceptable for July heat. Very well stocked with kitchen supplies and fresh eggs! Thank you!

Beach Bliss for Birders on Bikes

I love this place. I've been here twice before and I'm in heaven the moment I get off the South Shore train with my bike and bags. Everyone I've encountered in Miller is relaxed and friendly - people wave and say Hi here! - and it only takes a few minutes up the dedicated bike path (still under construction near the National Park which is right around the corner) and in less than an hour from downtown Chicago you can settle into a fun boho mid-mod with chickens in the backyard and bird art all over the nicely appointed and cozy hideaway. Start your day with some birding from the front porch before you head out to explore and you may even hear and see some rare ones - osprey and sandhill cranes! There are some great food options in the area but there’s a grocery store nearby if you’d rather cook: the kitchen is excellent. The beds are comfortable. The hosts are responsive if you need something but otherwise unobtrusive. All the necessaries and comforts are here for you to have a super relaxing getaway. Just because the address says Gary doesn't mean that it's scary.
