About this cottage rental

Located in Michigan City, this attractive cottage for $190 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Our comfortable cottage setting is situated one half block from the nicest beach along the Indiana shoreline. Our house is located in a small section of Sheridan Beach where there is no public parking. Our beach gives you that uncrowded beach feeling landscaped by Indiana's beautiful dune grass. Our three season porch on the front of the house offers fabulous views of Lake Michigan in a nice relaxed setting. We are on the bluff side of Lake Shore Drive. Since the house is on the bluff, it is up 32 stairs. There is parking for 1 car on our parking pad at the bottom of the stairs. You are also walking distance to the zoo, maritime museum, and the marina at Washington Park. Great shopping is available at the Prime Outlet Mall one mile away. Added daytime activities include hiking at Indiana Dunes National Park as well as biking with scenic lake views. Your night life includes the Blue Chip Casino, one mile away, Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo, Mi. a short 20 minute drive away, and our local movie cineplex. There are also numerous restaurants in Michigan City and New Buffalo for your enjoyment. Fall is still a great time for relaxing on the beach, walks on the beach, apple picking, Harbor Country wine tasting and Notre Dame Football weekends. Keywords: Summer Cottage, Beach House

Check-in process was easy. The host was there to welcome us and he walked us through the house. The forecast was unusually cold for summer during a couple of days of our stay, so he turned on the fire in the heater for us. The property was 1 block from the beach entrance. It was very convenient. It was not even a hassle to go back and forth to the house if we forgot something. I appreciate that the host has provided beach chairs and beach umbrella. There were even some sand toys available. The parking spot was at an incline and can be challenging to back out of it onto the street since the street can be quite busy and it's hard to see upcoming traffic if you're backing out. It's easier if you go up to the driveway then back into the parking spot. This way, you can see the traffic (and pedestrians) when getting out. Bed was comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets. Overall, we were happy with our stay. No complaints whatsoever.

Great little property, perfect for myself, wife, and two kids. Convenient location, short walk to the Beach and still within walking distance to Washington Park area. Attached sunroom was perfect for dropping hiking gear, beach gear, and shoes before going into the house. Stairs up to the property were a little cumbersome for vehicle unloading/loading, but otherwise not a problem. Would come back!

First understand this is a cottage...not a house. It IS clean and well kept and efficient. It sits at the top of a steep bluff. It has a nice front porch with screened windows, which offer those nice views of lake. With the windows open there is a lovely breeze that comes in. The wooden plank stairs that lead up are considerable....not impossible, but they definitely get your attention. Notably, there is only one (1) steep parking spot. The parking spot is gravel and so steep that it is imparetive to use the parking brake. So, this isn't a fancy hotel, and if you have vertigo you will want to keep looking. However, with all this said, it IS truthful about being a 10 minute walk to Lake Michigan. Down the steps, down the street and down the sandy path to the beautiful sandy shore line. As the section of beach area is not public access, the beach is never crowded and is as lovely as can be. The brisk walk back up to the cabin is nominal, and there is a convenient downstairs shower to wash off any lingering sand. Proximity to any restaurants, bars and retail is only 5-10 minutes drive. If you are interested in proximity to the beach this is a good choice.

This was an ideal property for our family of five. Nothing fancy, so we felt comfortable and at home. We loved the private beach access! Michigan City is a fun place to visit. We hope to come again. Highly recommend!

Wonderful retreat!

This cottage felt like staying in a family's place on the lake. We had such a great time walking the easy path down to the beach several times a day, then returning to the cottage high up on the bluff, surrounded by trees with a lake view from the screened porch(great for coffee time). The beds are comfortable, the place has character and John's suggestions for local restaurants in his welcome binder were excellent! A perfect place to get away from the city and enjoy Lake Michigan with welcoming hosts.

The property was exactly as described. The walk to the beach was an easy walk and we didn’t have to worry about parking!
