This home, not only decorated nostalgically, it is appointed that way. We felt like we stepped back in time for a week. We spent our days exploring the dunes and shoreline. Our family had everything we needed, and even more, with an age range of 1 to 84 years, including our furry friends. Our fur babies were well taken care of with toys and cozy beds. They absolutely loved the fenced yard! We enjoyed quiet mornings on the deck, sipping coffee, playing board games, watching VHS tapes, and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. The hosts were attentive and accommodating. Highly recommend!!!

This property was very well appointed. The beds were very comfortable, plenty of pillows, and comforters provided the right amount of warmth. The kitchen was well stocked with every appliance that we needed for cooking as well as dishes and silverware. The TV room downstairs was very comfortable and we enjoyed a "movie night" on the large couch. We brought our two chihuahuas along and they thoroughly enjoyed running around in the back yard and in the house. The available dog treats were a special addition. The house was very clean and the host was available if needed. Would highly recommend the property ! Quiet cute neighborhood close to the dunes.

Long weekend trip with our 5 year old grandson and our lab to explore Dunes National Park. Location was close to the lake and park trails. The house had everything we needed and then some! The best dog friendly home we have ever stayed in! The host had lots of treats, toys and dog beds. Our grandson loved all of the games. Beds were very comfortable. Backyard was great for the dog too. Everything was spotless. Very nice MCM home!

The host was very responsive and helpful! The house had 2 floors, and only the bottom level (basement) had a TV to share for all guests. Unfortunately, the bottom level was cold, and we didn't find any space heaters. It would have been great if there was a TV in the common room upstairs where it was warmer and gave access for any guests who are handicapped (unable to go downstairs). We also didn't use the shower downstairs because it was too cold. The bedrooms would have been nicer if there were black out curtains. Most curtains were sheer, so it wasn't very private, especially in the common room upstairs. Lastly, the washer needed major cleaning. My family relied on using the washer/dryer for clean clothes, but we found mold in the washer drum until after we used it. We had 6 guests, and 4 of us got skin rashes after wearing the washed clothes. Otherwise, the beds were comfortable, and we stayed warm wearing layers since we were limited to 75 house temperature. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast and eat our meals.
