Beach, casino, pet-friendly cottage
About this house rental
This is a simple 3 bedroom (4 bed), 1 bath home on one floor. There is plenty of parking to park your boat or jet ski! There is a fenced yard as well as a porch to barbecue outside as well as a full kitchen inside. There is also a small gas fire pit. The gas grill and gas fire pit have gas tanks attached. The home is a very walkable 7 blocks to the beach and the property borders woods with nice walking paths- the perfect blend of town and country! The home is perfectly positioned near casinos (about 2 minutes drive from Blue Chip and 15 minutes to Four Winds). The home is north of Highway 12- in the area called the “Lake Hills” subdivision. It is in a very safe beach community. The Lighthouse Outlet Mall is about a 5 minute drive- so it’s easy to find everything from Bose speakers to Ralph Lauren, Nike, and Le Creuset! This is a pet friendly home. We offer a small fenced yard with standard chain link as well as a tall 10x10 outdoor kennel on a concrete pad. Pets are, of course, welcome in the house! There are a number of walking paths nearby, too! Perfect places to walk a dog! Just let us know if you are bringing a pet and describe it for us. We limit the number of dogs to three (this is a city limit for pets) There is no size restriction for your dog. We always had a Great Dane when we lived in that house! There are a couple in the neighborhood! We offer easy entry to the home. You can come and go on your own keylessly with a simple four digit code. Also if you are traveling with babies or small children - check out the link below for “Baby Quip” they rent clean quality items that are delivered right to the house so you don’t have to travel with a bunch of gear. Here’s a link. I’ve heard great things about their sanitized stuff and I hear they have a great selection of baby beds, pack & plays, and items for toddlers too! https://www.babyquip.com/a/wo1y2u Please feel free to ask any questions. I respond promptly.

Easy check in. Thoughtful snack basket upon arrival. We loved the location, could walk to beach, felt very safe. 10 to 15 min we could be anywhere. Clean, cute decor.

This property is well worn but also in need of a deep cleaning. Particularly disappointiing is that the property claims to be pet friendly yet the fenced in area had not been cleaned of dog feces for a length of time

While the owner was very pleasant to deal with, we arrived and found that the place was not particularly clean to begin with, but then actually seen mice in the kitchen. Not just evidence, but yes actual MICE. So renter beware! She indicated that it was due to some recent excavation work that was taking place near by that stirred them up and there had been problems in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, that information was not shared until after our arrival and us notifying her of the mice. We were forced to try and find last minute accommodations with three dogs in tow. No easy task!!! And Vrbo wants to baby step it through helping with this, so I spent the first 2 days of my vacation doing anything but relaxing and instead, worrying about where we were going to sleep the next few nights or if we were going to have to give up vacation completely and just return home. The owner indicates she has taken steps to take care of the problem, but please beware.

The house was perfect for our family (2 adults and 3 kids, ages 4-13). We loved playing cards at the dining room table, cooking on the outdoor grill, and hanging out in the living room together. The kitchen was roomy enough for all of us to gather and help make dinner. Our host gave us all the details we needed and we enjoyed their insight into the area! The location was very convenient and quiet! The house was clean, well stocked with necessities, and the beds were very comfortable. Overall great place to stay for a great family vacation!

House was in a location that allowed us to take advantage of everything that Michigan City and New Buffalo had to offer. Fenced in yard allowed us to bring our dog with. The private beach was walkable, but we chose to drive to the public beach so we wouldn't have to carry everything. Owner checked on us and answered any questions we had.

Wanted a place to stay while visiting the Indiana Dunes with some friends, and this was perfect! It's about 20-30 minutes away from the main state and national park locations, but that worked out just fine for us. Lots of room in the house for hanging out in the evenings after we were done hiking or being at the beach. There is a nearby grocery store and lots of nearby food options for eating out or drinks. Very easy to get to, check in and out was a breeze, and we had everything we needed for a nice weekend getaway.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights during a road trip. The home is close to the beach, restaurants, and the Indiana Dunes. The owner was helpful and accommodating and we felt very welcome with our 65 pound 8 month old puppy! The home was clean and comfortable and the small yard and deck were nice!

We have 2 huskies and children, we came down to see one of the older children and grandchildren. We are first time VRBO users( used to a hotel) and we loved it. This is a perfect house for a family with dogs! We will be staying again as long as they will have us.

We had to come to Michigan City due to a tragic death in the family. This was exactly what we needed to be together as we closed things out. Alex was such a great hostess and made sure the house was stocked. My family and I are grateful for such an accommodating property owner. She was also compassionate and flexible and looked for ways to save us money due to the uncertainty of the length of our stay. Alex—you have no idea how your property contributed to our healing process. Thank you!

Prior to the pandemic, I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful vacation rental while visiting relatives in Michigan City. Ever since that time, it is the first place I look for when booking a trip to Michigan City. Unless you are very lucky, you will need to book in advance and asap because this property goes very fast and is in high demand. The house is spacious, clean, pet friendly, and equipped with everything needed to feel at home. It is in an excellent location and just a short walk to the beach. The owners are very responsive, accommodating, and definitely deserve their rating of being premier hosts.
I highly recommend staying at this property and hope to be lucky enough to stay there again when I visit Michigan City.

We had a reunion with some college buddies. We were in a band together, so we got to play some music. Weather cooperated. Plenty of parking. Well equipped kitchen.

Things were going fairly well until I tripped over a plastic mat on the floor and fell. I had to go to the emergency room and finally got back at 4AM. I talked to the owner that morning and left. She certainly thought the misplacement of the mat was not her fault. Have no desire to return.

Great, responsive hosts
Alex’s property is in a great neighborhood. We received a quick response to all of our questions and appreciate that we could bring our little one and our dog. It was a comfortable home, fully supplied, and just what we needed for a short weekend stay.

The owner was very nice and always there when needed, really appreciate that. The house was nice and equipped with everything you could need. Having one bathroom was not an issue while there which shocked me. I wish the TV was bigger in the living room as it was the only TV but we brought a TV so it worked out. The furniture in the living room is a reclining sectional that did not recline was very worn out. I loved that we could have are pet babies but the house smelt like animals but after febrezing, candles, using ceiling fans and opening a couple windows it wasn’t so strong. Even though I had a couple issues I would definitely stay here again. I hope that my review does not come off as disrespectful or complaining but just some things to improve. Thank you for the stay.

Needed a shot of nature, a spot for a quick, last minute getaway from the city. Host could not have been more helpful. Dogs did great in the car and we all loved the place - nice walks through the woods and down to Lake Michigan beach. Just what we were looking for.
