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!

Perfect Cottage on Lake Michigan

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!

Amazing Views!

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!!!

Absolutely breathtaking, ready to go back!

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.
