My girlfriends and I loved this sweet place! It is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, on a quiet and safe street. It was also well stocked with cups, plates and a Keurig machine. We were oohing and aaahing at it all! Great location as well - right by the outlet mall. Hosts were great and prompt with communication as well. We definitely plan on coming back!

It was so cute!

The house was well-furnished and clean. Super communication with the host. Within 15 mins of anything you would want to do in Michigan City or New Buffalo. I stayed with 3 other people and we all had a blast. Great for a girls trip!

Weekend at the beach

This place is not far from Lake Michigan. We enjoyed watching the sunset at the beach the night of our arrival. There was 5 of us and we all had a place to sleep. It is an adorable house. Outside area is nice and spacious. Basement is fun and living room on first floor is bright and functional for eating and playing games.
