Nice wooded trails and sandy beaches nearby…Our 2 retrievers loved it!
The house was very spacious. There are steps leading to the front door. The living room was very large. We enjoyed the ambience of the electric fireplace. The kitchen was well stocked. The water was well water and it had a slight smell. The host provided a case (24) of bottled water, plus 2 gallons bottles. The lower level was a nice retreat! It had 2 twin beds and pull out sofa. The TV and sectional seating in the family gathering space were a nice bonus!! The neighborhood looked a bit run down, but the neighbors seemed friendly and quiet. We stayed an extra night because the house fit our needs and we loved walking on the trails

Getaway
House was nice. Oven set off the smoke detector. Needed more seating in the living room. Man door to the garage would not lock so no one used the downstairs bedroom. Can’t use the Kurig machine. No easy beach access.

Great location in the National Park
There was more than enough room inside and outside for our family of five. The place is all newly renovated and the beds are very comfortable. The house is located about a mile from the beach and we never had a issue getting parking right by the beach. We loved the area. We went to a lot of different places within the National Park and nothing was farther than 15-20 minutes away. We also took the train to see a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. I loved being able to quickly drive down to the lake and catch a spectacular sunset! I also enjoyed running from the house and along Lake Michigan.

Great Central location for Birding Festival
Stayed here for four nights for the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival. Property is just 10 minutes away from festival headquarters at IN Dunes Welcome Center and close to most of the other birding sites we visited. The large living and kitchen area (that looks newly remodeled) was nice for unwinding after a long day of birding. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots and pans, plates, coffee maker, etc. Staying here was better for us than a hotel because of food restrictions for one of our family members - could bring and fix our own food. Thanks to our host!
