We had a terrific time and Will was very response if we needed anything! Thank you so much and we’d love to come back in the future!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless and I especially appreciated that everything was on one floor, which made babyproofing much easier. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking and grilling, and the beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, toys, etc.) were such a thoughtful touch. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach with beautiful views both inside and outside the home. Will was communicative and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely come back!

We loved it! Amazing view, pretty house :) we traveled with our newborn and I was so happy to found a super cute white noise machine in our room because we have forgotten ours back at home and baby slept sooo good! On an another note, the stairs to the beach were very steep and A LOT! So, if you’re traveling with young kids and older folks, it can be stressful and exhausting. In general we loved everything about the house, it had everything we needed to cook and even beach essentials like chairs, kayak, toys, etc… Though I’d say maybe change the shower curtains for doors? They weren’t clean and they had hair and other residues on them as well as and old used bar soap in the shower, ugh…

My husband and I stayed at this property to celebrate our one year anniversary, and as always it never fails to disappoint!!! The house is so clean, bright, and beautiful, and every little detail and convenience has been considered by the hosts. Add to that the absolutely stunning views and the convenient beach access and it really makes for a one of a kind getaway. We had a wonderful time on the beach or just relaxing outside on the beautiful deck. It’s hard to believe we were still in Indiana!!! We will keep returning to this gorgeous property as often as we possibly can.

We loved the place so much that we were hesitant to try to recommend it, don't want other people to take it away when we want to book it again..haha! Amazing view, all together great place for a get away, and best of all the VRBO hosts were great as well! Nothing to complain about, we stayed for a few days to do some bird watching and found ourselves wishing we could spend more time at the house and ended up coming back earlier on most days than planned or leaving later in the morning than planned because we just wanted to enjoy the views from the house! Will definitely book this place again in the future!

Even though it was chilly for early May, this was the perfect house to sit, watch and listen to the waves of Lake Michigan! We were able to walk on the beach and in the park on the dunes. It’s a 20 minute drive or less to Michigan city and other attractions.

This is the cutest cottage on Lake Michigan. Parking right next to the house and only 53 steps down to the beach. We loved the windows overlooking the water and open feel of the cottage. Property was clean and owners great to work with!

This house is in a beautiful and amazing location. The view of Lake Michigan is incredible and the house is cozy and welcoming. The little touches like board games and a pretty well equipped kitchen made it feel inviting and we hope to come back again sometime!

Our stay at this Vrbo was absolutely incredible! The home was cozy, very clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The large windows offered breathtaking views of Lake Michigan, and even though the lake was partially frozen, it was still beautiful to see. The peaceful winter scenery made our stay even more special.The location was perfect—just a short drive to plenty of hiking trails, which were not only stunning but also very dog-friendly! Our pup loved exploring alongside us, and since it was the off-season, the trails weren’t crowded at all, making it even more enjoyable.The home was well-stocked with all the amenities we could ask for, including board games for family time and Wi-Fi if we needed it. It truly felt like a home away from home.This trip was exactly what our family of three (plus our dog!) needed. The quiet atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and easy access to nature made for a perfect escape from the daily routine. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat near the dun

This cabin has an amazing views of Lake Michigan!! We loved our stay here...so peaceful and relaxing. The cabin was clean and the hosts provided lots of little extras (shampoo, bar soap, coffee pods). It is not a "luxury" feel....but everything is well maintained and very clean. We will definitely stay here again!!!

My son was returning from his honeymoon, which I kept his dog for 2 weeks. We met at this house to return his dog to him, which was a halfway point for us. The house was incredible, views are amazing. Thank you for the use of your house.Deb

I booked this property because of location near Chesterton where my family had a funeral to attend. It turned out to be so much more than a place to sleep. The house was lovely, exactly as described. We had busy time and free time - lots of laughs and tears. During the free time, it was relaxing and almost theroputic to be able to watch and listen to the waves. It turned out to be just what my family needed in a troubling time. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

Our 6 adults and 2 dogs stayed for a quiet weekend. The home was so cozy, and full of the amenities we needed. The beds are worth mentioning…hubby and I both commented on how comfortable they were.
The view of Lake Michigan is superb and the wall of windows was perfect.
Also worth noting, there were USB ports all over the home, which was so convenient!
Host was friendly, clear, and readily available. Neighbors were friendly, beach was lovely.

My husband, 2 year old daughter, and I needed to find a place last minute to stay in Northern Indiana and stumbled upon this. We had no idea that there was a National/State Sand Dune park, or a beautiful beach in this area. We were beyond excited to find this beautiful gem of a cottage to stay in.

Our girls trip to St. Pete Beach had to be cancelled due to the two hurricanes. We found this place to go to. Even though it wasn’t as warm as Florida, we still were able to walk the beach and enjoy the stunning views of Lake Michigan. The host allowed us to check in early and this is a place we would love to go back in the summertime!
