"Our second stay at the cottage and we loved it again. Location is amazing. Short walk to the beach (I'd recommend the more public path a block down, as it is an easier walk.) We had 3 cars and no park..."

Important Note:
Like all area cottages, M&M Dune Cottage is separated from the lake by a naturally created, government protected dune. The pathways over the dune are marked & continually managed to keep their heights as low as possible. Last season, there were ‘easy walk’ board-walk mats placed out on two of the three beach paths adjacent to the cottage. There's a flat boardwalk in Washington Park.

Please remember to read all beach cautions (especially about riptides) and supervise children. Thank you!

    FANTASTIC location! Short walk to the beautiful Sheridan beach. This home is very well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The owner, Brian, was very responsive with any questions and recommendations. We did a pick up order from Al’s supermarket nearby. We watched the amazing sunset at 8 pm every night. Our group was a girls trip of 6 ladies, so it was nice that everyone got their own bed. The only challenge was the creaky floors and doors in the middle of the night and the 2 bathrooms being right next to each other. I’d recommend bringing some sound machines. Overall, loved this quaint little cottage and made wonderful memories here. Would definitely stay again!

    Our second stay at the cottage and we loved it again. Location is amazing. Short walk to the beach (I'd recommend the more public path a block down, as it is an easier walk.) We had 3 cars and no parking issues at all. House was great! 4 bedrooms so everyone had their space. Good-sized kitchen for preparing meals and it has all the pans you'd need. Dining room table easily seats six or you can sit out on the patio. Washington Park is also a short walk and you are close to the outlets and downtown Michigan City.We are already talking about our next trip back.

    We loved the location of the property the most. It is right on the path to the beach. The house is stocked with everything you need and everything was clean. It’s an old house but kept tidy.

    My family has a long history at Michigan City and the Fourth of July week is a common time for family reunion events. My biggest concern going into the trip was the heat wave, the AC in the house did not disappoint. We would stay there again!

    This cottage is perfect for families / friends who want to enjoy the beach! Plenty of space for our group of 6, comfortable bedrooms and living space, 2 bathrooms, an awesome kitchen, and space outside for drying towels and swimsuits to head back to the beach the next day. Just walk over the dune to be on the beach - no roads to cross or parking hassles. Easy! I contacted the owner once to ask a silly question during our stay and the response was immediate. Outstanding communication throughout. Would recommend!!

    Vintage Beachside Cottage was a delight! We loved our time there, mere steps from Lake Michigan. The bedside lamps in one of the bedrooms were not working, and Brian ordered and had delivered the next day a remote that was needed to operate them. Then they worked perfectly. The well-maintained, heart pine (I suspect from the age of the cottage) wood floors felt so good under our feet. Loved all the windows that let in so much natural light and the shaded patio where we relaxed and were able to eat. We would stay again.

    This charming bungalow is exactly as described ! We enjoyed our stay & Brian was available to answer any questions that came up during our visit. Lake Michigan is always amazing - this home made our time there even better.
