Location was perfect! Marian was an amazing host. She has everything you could need! She also kept us updated on storms in the area that turned into tornadoes. She checked in on us and even though we ended up without power she had everything we needed to make it through without it interrupting our vacation at all. The beach was so close, clean and not at all crowded. We had an amazing time and our kids (17-25) all wanna go back!!!

The property felt as if it is IN the National Park. The areas of the park that require staff were not open, due to the Federal Government Shutdown. Gift Shop, Welcome Center, etc. My 14 year old son and I took a one hour train ride into Chicago via the nearby South Shore Line. This took us directly to Millennium Park where we walked around, visited the park, saw "The Bean" and had a Chicago Dog. The local scene on Lake Street in Miller Beach was great for food, shopping and art. Check out the Miller School Shops & Spaces there on Thursday through Sunday. Great vendor shops.

So nice to walk out to the beach. Even if it’s just to check out the sunset. We had the whole house to ourselves, filled the refrigerator for our three night stay. Cooked breakfast and a dinner. Marian has pots and pans, plenty of plates for multiple days. Dishwasher was convenient as well. Quiet neighborhood with fantastic neighbors who are so generous (Liz and Jim) we were not lacking a thing.

This is our third year renting a week-long vacation here - it's a great house! Close to the beach trail, our pet is welcome, clean, comfortable and plenty of room! The new front deck is beautiful!
