Other than a few steps up the front porch to enter this property, once inside, everything is all on one level. This property is in a residential neighborhood. We appreciate our wonderful neighbors and aim to keep our property in excellent condition. We require interested guests have positive reviews from past trips on their profile. This property is located in a transitional neighborhood (there is ongoing construction at the South Shore train complex one block to the south, as well as a mix of year round residents and other vacation rentals nearby). We have other rentals in this area and have never received any safety concerns or complaints. If you have any specific questions, feel free to reach out prior to completing your reservation. With regards to the South Shore Train, the train itself is prohibited from sounding their whistle, but you are able to hear the train depot bells that signal the train's arrival and departure. It's actually not very loud. Please note - There is a motion sensor light on the side porch by the sliding door that activates if people walk down the alleyway or cars are driving by. It sometimes comes on when travelers are walking past as they leave the train stop.

Smoking in any form is NOT ALLOWED in the property. Any evidence of smoking (smell, butts, ashes, paraphernalia) will result in an additional $300 cleaning fee, and/or loss of security deposit if one was collected. If a security deposit is collected, it will be returned to you within 24 hours of your departure once the cleaning team has reviewed the property and determined it to be in good condition.

This cottage offers its guests barbecue grills and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Michigan City cottage is smoke free.
