We would stay again
Nice location to base a visit to Indiana Dunes National Park. Plenty of room for our 3-person family get-together and a short walk to the beachfront. Appreciated the fenced yard for the dog. We had a car issue and found a friendly neighbor who loaned us what we needed to solve the problem!

Wonderful cozy home near the shore
We wanted a quick 3 day getaway for fall break and decided to rent a home instead of a hotel. This house was perfect. Tom our host met us there and walked us through the property. Although a little older the wood floors, cozy environment and bedrooms were charming. The house has smart tvs so it was no problem linking into our favorite streaming apps to watch a movie. The fireplace outside was perfect for the crisp look October evenings and Tom made sure we were fully stocked with firewood. One of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed in. Super clean, comfy and the beds were perfect. Would stay here again for sure!

Exactly what we wanted!
I wanted a place to stay while visiting both Indiana Dunes National Park and Chicago. This was the perfect place. Driving to both the state park and national park was very easy as both were very close. We were able to spend several days hiking. Then we used the South Shore Line to go into Chicago to do some sightseeing and visit museums. The place was clean, cozy, with all the amenities that were promised.

Great stay at the beach.
We booked the house for a trip to visit family and it was perfect for the 4 of us and 3 medium/small dogs. The house was clean, well decorated, and had everything we needed. There is no washer or dryer but there are a few laundromats nearby. We went to Sunny Days in Willowcreek Plaza in Portage. Clean and well-managed with plenty of machines. Tom met us upon our arrival to give us a tour and answer any questions we may have had. He was great. Very friendly and quick to respond to any texts we sent. The house is in a great location as it is within walking distance from the beach and Flamingo Pizza of Miller. The neighborhood itself was great for walking our dogs. We went in the offseason so there was barely any traffic. All in all, we were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We look forward to visiting again.
