M&M Dune Cottage is a vintage, 1930's Sheridan Beach original. So, if you're looking for a place with character and can live with all of the rough edges that come with staying in a 80+ year old cottage built on sand, we're the perfect choice for your fun in the sun!

Simply, walk out your front door to step onto the sand path. It leads to the world's most beautiful beach - Sheridan Beach!

Just a stroll down the beach…
• The historic Lighthouse with its Promenade
• The Michigan City Zoo & award winning Washington Park.

Like to shop, boat or play...
Visit the nearby Lighthouse Outlet Mall, the Downtown Art district with its fun Restaurants & Pubs, the Blue Chip Casino and the local marina with ramps and transient slips - just a quick 5 minute drive away.

An easy vacation for young families wanting to create a lifetime of memories, and for those who are looking to reconnect. Great for a large family, or two smaller ones. Well suited for family gatherings & craft groups, too.

Important Note:
Like all area cottages, M&M Dune Cottage is separated from the lake by a naturally created, government protected dune. The pathways over the dune are marked & continually managed to keep their heights as low as possible. Last season, there were ‘easy walk’ board-walk mats placed out on two of the three beach paths adjacent to the cottage. There's a flat boardwalk in Washington Park.

Please remember to read all beach cautions (especially about riptides) and supervise children. Thank you!

FOR ADDED COVID SAFETY:
• We’ve extended the work hours of our 5 Star Housekeeping team to provide the additional time necessary to perform enhanced cleaning procedures.
• We use ‘Hospital Grade’ disinfectant solutions.
• The newer dishwasher has a Steam Cycle for better sanitization.
• You’ll receive a large quantity of ‘Hospital Grade’ disinfectant wipes your use on hard surfaces at the cottage.

• Brand new rolls of paper towels, toilet tissue and kitchen sponges are provided for each stay.
• The interior has been tested for mold - no issues.
• In addition to the full complement of freshly laundered linens and towels, all mattresses and bed pillows have allergy liners.
