The location was perfect and the cottage had everything we needed as a family of 4. It does need a deep cleaning inside and out. The only bathroom is located in the main bedroom downstairs. This was not a problem for us. The host were very responsive. Overall we did enjoy our stay.

The unit was clean and well decorated. There was a very strong smell of chlorine/bleach when we arrived. The unit was smaller than expected; we had 4 people and it felt tight. Also the only bathroom was off the master bedroom so inconvenient. However, close to beach and good response from the owners when emailed.

Location was great! Owners were readily available until there was a problem. Upon arrival, there was a pungent sewage smell that overpowered the place. We were not even able to sleep in the master bedroom because of the smell, resorting to the couch. Susan, the owner responded with “we wil let cleaning staff know” the first email, without any ways to help accommodate this. My second follow up email on our last day was not met with any response at all. Other minor issues- broken blinds wouldn’t close, light bulbs out, and keurig didn’t seem to work. AC window units in upstairs and living room but didn’t seem to cool down the place.Overall, location was great. Beach gear in closet was great, but customer service and cleanliness was lacking.

Cute little cottage, well-decorated with a big comfy couch. Great location with a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Well-stocked, pretty much every kitchen utensil you might need, some small beach chairs, etc.My primary issue with it is the smell emanating from the downstairs bedroom, particularly the bathroom. I'm no expert so I can't be sure, but my suspicion is it's something to do with stagnant water or another general plumbing issue. It has a scent I would describe as reminiscent of sewage & mildew. It comes and goes in waves and it's not unbearable, but it's fairly rough when it suddenly hits you. Also unpleasant when you can smell it at the kitchen table while eating a meal, or in bed when trying to fall asleep. If this issue can be fixed, this is the perfect place for small families to stay in Michigan City.

Good cottage vacation
This cottage was a good location for our family vacation to the beach. We had a great stay and our boys enjoyed the beds upstairs and felt like they had their own space. The owners were very responsive to any questions we had. We had a great stay!

We LOVED the cozy cottage. We were a family of 5 who lived and stayed comfortably here. It was fully stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen. The place was clean and well taken care of. We were a 10 minute walk to the beach and had plenty of outdoor space to sit and enjoy the evening. We will absolutely be returning!

Quick Stay
Originally booked this to have easy access to the Indiana Dunes, however with the heat decided to instead spend our time at Washington Park Beach. The house was super close, and stocked with sand toys and beach chairs. Everything was exactly as pictured and very convenient. The beach is fantastic, aside from the industrial area nearby. Some of the clearest water and best sand bottom we’ve been to along Lake Michigan. The stairs up to the loft area are very tiny and steep, just a warning they may not be good for someone who has mobility challenges. However, this sleeping area was perfect for my two kids to share!

Great location
Perfect location for the beach and the cooler on wheels and beach chairs were helpful. The cottage was small but fine for our family and the two kids loved having the loft to themselves. The cottage is definitely older and a bit worn around the edges but great for a long weekend away from the city.

Indiana Dunes stay
Stay was good. Area was safe and quiet. Ate at Dune Billies - was a neat local place. Dinner at Shoreline was also good. Follow the directions in the guide to a great beach within walking distance. Just FYI if you drive over to Washington Park there is a $15 fee to park. We went to Indiana Dunes Stare Park which is 20 minutes away, enjoyed the dune challenge and wonderful beach there too..
