Great getaway!
The owners were amazing to work with! Property was in a great location from the beach. Just a short walk on your own private path to get to the beach. Also, conveniently located next to a great spot to get ice cream for the kids! The outdoor area was perfect, the kids could play in the sand and they had an outdoor fire pit that was used at night. We will definitely be back :)

Wonderful, relaxing Lake Michigan/Indiana Dunes Stay
This was an awesome place to stay!! Right on the beach and so convenient to the National Park. It was incredibly relaxing, the view of the beach was amazing. It was great to be able to just walk out the back door and be on the beach. It was exactly as advertised, and the owners were so quick to respond and very accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again if I’m ever in the area. Rex was great - even checked in with me during the stay to see if everything was OK! The house was perfect - clean and modern and neat, and had everything I needed for my stay. I absolutely loved my stay here and would definitely recommend it!

Perfect winter respite
While we only managed a few walks on the beach, we watched the crazy weather on the lake and enjoyed the view with the comfort of the fire place! The owner’s clear communication and responsiveness was very helpful. I highly recommend this place!
