We loved our stay here, such a cute little place and had everything we needed for our stay! The check-in was super easy and Maria was very quick to respond with any questions we may have had. She also gave some great suggestions for things to do and places to eat at! We loved being so close to the beach as well! Definitely somewhere we’d stay at again!

Great Stay!

Everything from booking to troubleshooting the front door lock was perfectly executed. This is a cute spot to stay and the neighborhood is very quiet. We traveled to South Bend for a game and we would book again! Thanks for a great stay.

Pleasant stay on a quit street.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Elm St Retreat. It was close to the restaurants we dined at and close to the Indiana Dunes, which was the primary reason for our trip. The home suited our needs perfectly with amenities you won't find at a hotel.
