About this cottage rental
Our comfortable cottage setting is situated one half block from the nicest beach along the Indiana shoreline. Our house is located in a small section of Sheridan Beach where there is no public parking. Our beach gives you that uncrowded beach feeling landscaped by Indiana's beautiful dune grass. Our three season porch on the front of the house offers fabulous views of Lake Michigan in a nice relaxed setting. We are on the bluff side of Lake Shore Drive. Since the house is on the bluff, it is up 32 stairs. There is parking for 1 car on our parking pad at the bottom of the stairs.
You are also walking distance to the zoo, maritime museum, and the marina at Washington Park. Great shopping is available at the Prime Outlet Mall one mile away. Added daytime activities include hiking at Indiana Dunes National Park as well as biking with scenic lake views.
Your night life includes the Blue Chip Casino, one mile away, Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Mi. a short 20 minute drive away, and our local movie cineplex. There are also numerous restaurants in Michigan City and New Buffalo for your enjoyment.
Fall is still a great time for relaxing on the beach, walks on the beach, apple picking, Harbor Country wine tasting and Notre Dame Football weekends.

This was a nice, well kept house in a great location. The host provided very good communication. It was nice to have beach chairs provided. There are only window a/c units, which was a slight drawback, but they kept the house cool enough. Overall, it was a really good place to stay.

We’ve had an awesome holiday in this cottage close to the beach. John is a very nice and friendly host.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2022
First understand this is a cottage...not a house. It IS clean and well kept and efficient. It sits at the top of a steep bluff. It has a nice front porch with screened windows, which offer those nice views of lake. With the windows open there is a lovely breeze that comes in.
The wooden plank stairs that lead up are considerable....not impossible, but they definitely get your attention. Notably, there is only one (1) steep parking spot. The parking spot is gravel and so steep that it is imparetive to use the parking brake.
So, this isn't a fancy hotel, and if you have vertigo you will want to keep looking. However, with all this said, it IS truthful about being a 10 minute walk to Lake Michigan. Down the steps, down the street and down the sandy path to the beautiful sandy shore line. As the section of beach area is not public access, the beach is never crowded and is as lovely as can be. The brisk walk back up to the cabin is nominal, and there is a convenient downstairs shower to wash off any lingering sand.
Proximity to any restaurants, bars and retail is only 5-10 minutes drive. If you are interested in proximity to the beach this is a good choice.
