It was our 4th or 5th year at Miller beach area and loved as we did in previous times. First time at this house and we really liked. Good location (close to the beach), the house was very comfortable, with plenty of space. We were a combination of adults, kids and one dog.

The house was comfortable, clean, and in the perfect location for our family beach/dunes vacation. It’s big enough that we never felt crowded. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nice home for our group of 6 adults and 5 children ages 15 to 3. We enjoyed the backyard fire pit for s’mores, walked to the beach every day, made 2 trips to Chicago, did the 3 dune challenge and the Diana of the Dunes Dare at the Indiana Dunes. A full week …Thank you for sharing your home

The home was beautiful and a great space for our group of 10. There was lots of room to spread out and the kitchen was great and well stocked for lots of meals at the house. We loved how close it was to the beach and visited every day sometimes twice.

Great central location for getting to the various sports complexes our kids played at. Two families (4 adults and 5 teens) for very comfortably. Lots of space to spread out and/or gather together for games. Kids loved ping pong and piano and grown ups loved the easy access to the lovely beach. Margaret was very friendly, accessible and accommodating. House was clean and beautifully decorated. We had a really nice stay.

From the minute we walked inside we felt right at home! It was very clean and the layout of the house is very welcoming and open. The kitchen had all the necessities to make dinner and enjoy each other with plenty of seating. The hot tub was perfect with the waterfall and lights. It was a short walk to the beach where we enjoyed the day in the sun! We will definitely rent this location again if our travels bring us back up to northern Indiana! This was a mother / daughter weekend to remember.

We had a nice time and the proximity to the beach was great. Communications with the host we’re good. The hot tub and furniture are getting some age on them but it all worked. The kids loved the ping pong and fooseball tables.

The house is in a wonderful location to the beach. It is a short walk on quiet roads to the beach. My family and my two brother's families enjoyed the week immensely. Even with the weather in the 70s, we were able to enjoy time in the water and on the beach.

This home was a five minute walk from the beach and we enjoyed amazing sunsets everyday! The layout and amenities of the home were perfect for family to meet and spend time together, both indoors and out. Our dog enjoyed the fenced in yard immensely. This is the second property that we’ve rented from this host-she’s great and very responsive.

This house easily handled 14 guests without feeling crowded. Between the beach, hot tub, nice backyard, game room and all the games everyone was entertained. Would recommend to anyone

Everything advertised online in the description about the property is accurate. Great home for the family to spend the week. Can hang out inside or out. Walk to the beach is 5 minutes and not much beach traffic making for a relaxing experience. Will definitely look up this place again for our next trip to Lake MI.

We really enjoyed our time at the house. We had the whole family (6 adults and 4 kids) and had plenty of space, and the multi-level was nice. We had a couple of small issues, but they were resolved quickly. The beach is super nice, not crazily crowded (even the holiday week) and as close as advertised. We easily walked down and back more than once most days. We used the deck and hot tub, too. Overall, a really positive experience!

House was exactly as described and was very clean and spacious! Great house for family time and playing games. Short walk to the beach which was very private and not many people there at all. Beach very clean! Would recommend bringing all of your groceries etc. as not many clean places in town to shop , but it worked! Took Train into Chicago for a day- very easy process and station very close to house. Definitely enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed our time away at Miller Beach. The design of the house is lovely - very mid-century modern vibe which we liked. The ping-pong table and games were a real hit with everyone and provided some enjoyable inside time when the weather wasn't conducive to swimming. There were only 5 of us in our party but if you are coming with a larger group you might want to supplement with additional beach chairs and if you have smaller children maybe some smaller glasses for drinks as many of the glasses were pretty big. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

You can tell the owners have put a lot of work into redoing the home. It is beautifully remodeled and decorated. The first night we took lukewarm showers but the owners were responsive and we got it fixed the next day. The hot tub water level was low so the jets were spraying water outside of the tub. The dining room chairs and couches are well loved with cracks and stains in the chairs and sofas and I didn't feel comfortable sitting on them. I had to clean the tub before using it in the lower level. When we stripped the sheets we found stained mattress covers in 2 of the upstairs bedroom mattresses. It's a BEAUTIFUL home but needs some more updates. It's hard to pay a $400 cleaning fee when I had to go in and clean to be comfortable
