About this property

Cottage House in Beachwalk - Perfect little Cottage near Lake Michigan

Our Cottage, named "The Dog House" is a little gem in the heart of MIchigan City. This property is a guest house of a larger home that is in the vacation community of Beachwalk Resort Community. Located only 1 mile from the Casino, the outlet mall, the zoo, the Marina, and the downtown area of Michigan City, this is a prime location for whatever your plans are while in town. Also, you have full access to all of the offerings of Beachwalk (seasonal), including the pool, fishing ponds, playgrounds, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, Lake Kai, and the private Beachwalk entrance to our stunning beach on Lake Michigan. This home is completely separate from the main house, and is located above the 2-car garage. This can be rented together with the main house (Ruby's Lakehouse), or as a separate rental. Equipped with a full kitchen and bath, laundry, and modern amenities, this is a perfect little house for 1-2 couples or families of 5 or less. There is 1 large common main room which has a king bed and sofa sleeper, a full kitchen, and flat screen TV with Hulu and Netflix. Please note: there is not a separate private bedroom. The loft is not accessible for renters, and is not a separate sleeping space. There is a small screened-in porch with seating for 3. There is typically parking for 1-2, and a golf cart may be available to rent for an additional charge. Garage space may also be available upon request. This home is in a perfect location within Beachwalk, which has 175 homes. Our home is only a couple blocks to the Lake Michigan beach, and 1 block from the pool, snack shop, tennis courts, and more! We are lucky to have a quiet street in a very busy neighborhood. We provide a wagon, beach chairs, and an umbrella for your convenience. It's the perfect little cottage for a beach getaway!

Such a cute, clean and nice place!
My husband and I stayed in this super cute “dog house” (that’s what they named it) above the garage for an overnight for my cousin’s wedding. It was SO clean and super quiet. This little gem of a resort beach cottages located near Lake Michigan is exactly that, a gem! We will definitely come back and with our two kids. I actually was interested in looking into purchasing a property in this adorable community called Beach Walk. I can’t say enough good things about it. Definitely recommend!

Nice house in a beach community
This was a great house in a nice community. We were there off season so it was pretty quiet but overall pleasant. The house had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and preparing foods which was important to us. The homeowner was responsive and helpful. We would stay here agin if we are ever in this area.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha Pond

Host profile image
I am an independent owner/manager and give very thorough and personal service to ensure my renters are pleased with their stay. I have been vacationing with my 3 kids in Beachwalk for 20 years, and finally decided to invest in a home here. I live in Palatine, IL, and run my family's business as my day job.

Why they chose this property

This house is in fabulous condition, which made it an easy decision to purchase it. It is a very charming space and is perfect for a getaway. It's romantic for couples, and also very accommodating for small families. In 2017 we updated the house with all new paint and upgrades to the bathroom. The location is also perfect. The house is on a very quiet street in Beachwalk, but located very close to all of the amenities that make Beachwalk so fun.

What makes this property unique

The Dog House is unique because it has all of the benefits and amenities of the larger houses in the area (parking, fully stocked kitchen, full bath and laundry, screened-in porch, etc.), and accommodates a couple or small family.
