Great place for a family get-away!
We met our daughter's family (Including 4 grandkids) for a weekend in Michigan City, including a day trip into Chicago. Neat house with a great upstairs bedroom set up for kids. And easy access to the South Shore Line to head into Chicago for the day.

Great place to stay
The house was fully furnished with everything you need to enjoy a stay away from home. Great location less than 10 minutes to anything you wanted to do. House set up and decor are great for a large group. Neighbor was quiet. Really great time. Hosts were quick to respond to messages.

1st floor was fantastic
My family stayed for 3 nights in the beginning of August. There were 4 adults and a 12yo. The house was clean and well stocked with the basics. While the home was as described, the upstairs bedroom, with 4 twin beds, was too hot to sleep in. My daughter was excited to have the whole floor to herself, but there was no A/C upstairs. Small cube fans were provided, but they did not suffice. The last 2 nights, my daughter slept on the couch. The home was fairly convenient to downtown Michigan City and the Dunes, the neighborhood was a bit run down. Overall, we had a nice stay

Great stay
Was a great place to stay at while spending time at the lakes. Had everything we needed and more. Beds were super comfy, shower was amazing, charcoal grill was perfect, and more than enough space for the entire group. Thanks for all the effort you put in to this place. You went above and beyond what I expected.

Loved the new outdoor grill
This place was close to main attractions and very well kept. There was an adequate amount of kitchen dishes for cooking and the outdoor grill was brand new.

Book fast! You wont be disappointed if you appreciate cute, cozy and wonderfulness.
All the little touches of home and more. A pure joy! Only regret of the place is that i didn't book for a longer stay.
Host is a quick responder and a delight. Such a pleasure in this day and age to deal with someone that is the total package along with her rental. Thank you

Wonderful Stay!
We had a fantastic time! The pictures in the listing are accurate, but at the same time do not do this home justice. Location was perfect and just minutes from everything we wanted to do. As a family of 7, it accomodated all of our needs beautifully. The home was clean, and every inch of the space was well though out and utilized. The decor was adorable (birds and flowers are my favorite). We easily fit at the dining table and were able to comfortably cook several meals (on the awesome stove, by the way...I've now added that exact model to my wish list!). Our oldest had his own room, and our younger 4 shared the space upstairs - which was perfect for everyone to have their own space and a surprising amount of privacy. The amenities for our planned beach day were a nice addition (chairs, umbrella, smaller cooler...and a beach towel for the one kid who forgot to pack one...). On site laundry made for an easy return back home with clean clothes. We absolutely loved it and would love to return!

The house was super clean. Most everything we needed to cook was available and in great shape. It was perfect for the 5 of us. We would definitely stay here again.
