This was a great stay, and super pet friendly. We brought our dog with us on this impromptu annixersary trip and really enjoyed the cleanliness and location -- just a few minute drive to get to everything we wanted to see and not far from downtown Michigan City at all. If you love coffee, I highly recommend checking out FLUID in downtown MC for great vibes and even better food and drink options.

Nice home

Girlfriend trip we had a wonderful time . This property is close to many places like the outlet malls, Washington Beach, botanical Garden. Home had nice amenities. The kitchen had oil and spices so we did not have to purchase those which was great. Washer and dryer was wonderful less dirty laundry to take home! Beds were very comfortable. Decor very nice. Would definitely consider a stay in this area again . Any questions we had were quickly answered the hosts were wonderful. Thank you much

Small getaway before school

The property was just what we were looking for. It was very clean and very well maintained. We will definitely try to rent this place the next time we come north. If you wanted to walk to the lake, you might want something different, but it was close enough for us. we really enjoyed it!!!
