We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful, newly restored home in Michigan City! There was plenty of room for our family, and the open, clean spaces felt very welcoming. Check-in and check-out were super easy, and the host had great communication throughout our stay. The house had a warm and positive vibe that made us feel right at home.I really loved the open layout, but the home overall wasn’t very baby-proofed due to the staircases and some decorative items, which made it a bit tricky with our one-year-old. The only other small thing was that the TVs weren’t smart TVs, so it was harder for the kids to watch a movie at night. Still, we had a great experience overall and would definitely recommend this place to others!
