Was a comfy cozy spot to sit, relax, and just talk. The pull out couch was very comfortable. The most comfortable i have ever slept on. The fireplace was beautiful and functional. It gave off heat or just soft light. We drove to the outlet mall and 2 farmers markets. We had an amazing mother daughters weekend and will definitely come back again.

Visiting the park

My husband and I stayed here for our visit to the National Park. It was simple and easy to get to with lots of places located near by. We really enjoyed the outlet mall across the street and the Lakeshore cafe coffee spot, both walking distance from the rental home. Only main drawback was that I would have preferred a covered parking space but definitely not a deal breaker. We enjoyed our time at Indiana Dunes National Park and were able to come back to this rental and relax anytime.

Great Getaway

No issues. Owner provides various necessities in case they are needed. The kids loved counting all the flamingos on the property. :) The bed was pretty uncomfortable for us, but that is personal preference. The pull out is pretty small. I would say that it sleeps 4 is pushing it a little. We had a great stay though. The property is well maintained and up to date.

Cute Little Snack of a Cottage

The Funky Flamingo was just a precious and convenient spot to have fun and together time. With its proximity to the Outlet mall, we could spend a lot more time shopping than traveling. The cottage had everything we needed to make a nice caprese salad, and the extra snacks/drinks were such a special touch! The decor was just the right mix of whimsy, color and accent. I enjoyed discovering the flamingos on the dinnerware and in other places around the cottage. It was great to have modern appliances like the huge fridge, the W/D in the closet (with detergent!) and the dishwasher. We enjoyed movies, music, cooking and company. The only downside was the bedroom mattress, but we're old enough to know that every person has different taste in mattress firmness. This particular one was way too soft for us. The rest of the stay was on point, so I didn't feel a need to take away any review points. If your health requires a firm mattress, you may need to book a different place. Overall, a high-quality rental with a lot of perks! Very enjoyable.

Cozy place, shopping next door, dunes short drive away

We had a great getaway long weekend! It was perfect for my wife and I. She goes on vacation to do "nothing", and I go on vacation to DO stuff. So while she watched a movie and read a book, I went and ran the trails at Indiana Dunes! There was shopping right across the street! Also, DO NOT leave food laying around...there are little sand ants that will find your food!!!

Great place - quaint, clean. Exactly as described. Walking distance to food, stores, and many other destinations. Small issue with circuit breaker, but easily resolved through texting. Would highly recommend!
