We had a very nice stay at the property. The big open rooms were good for our young grandkids. Our only suggestion would be to add a large island and a larger table in the kitchen.
Enjoyed staying at this property. It was well equipped and spacious inside and outside. Our host, Matthew Long was super. He was quick to answer questions and provided a very nice home.
The property was just what we needed for our large family vacation. The living/dining/family area is massive and made a great place for adults and kids to gather. The outside area was expansive and just right for picnics, playing, and fellowshipping. The kitchen was nicely equipped. There is tons of parking. The property is nicely isolated, but close to the locations we wanted to visit. We were VERY satisfied and will very likely come again.
Matthew's property was just as described. It was clean and he was a very responsive host. We were a short drive from both Michigan City and New Buffalo. We enjoyed how quite the home was but how easy it was to get to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The house is spacious, has most of the basic kitchen supplies you need to make meals (we cooked breakfasts and dinners at the home), and was clean. It was great for our family trip of 6 adults and 3 kids under 3.
A family member arranged to have a family gathering (all of us from out of town from 2-6 hrs away). We didn’t know the area well and only have one day all together. Typically we meet at a park etc. but not knowing the area made that tough. I was nervous about potential weather issues and was looking for a back up plan that would allow pets. This property ended up being our only plan when my family looked at the listing. My family of 5 and my parents stayed the weekend, but we entertained 30 people for our reunion there. It’s really perfect for this purpose. The weather ended up beautiful, so we were outside most the day, but plenty of room inside if it hadn’t work out. The covered patio was awesome. Nice lighting, a fan, and insect/dirt free area for our oldest family members. Would highly recommend!
From all the rooms to the fire pit I wish we had more people. We had 6 & that was perfect for the only 2 bathrooms but a girl’s trip here would be awesome still. So spacious! Wish there were a little more kitchen items but they still had a good amount. One of my friends left her new Fitbit & the owners were kind enough to notify the cleaning crew who then left it for us wrapped up in the mailbox. How kind. Super great stay best location & worth every penny! Even the nearby town Michigan City, we went shopping in had plenty of options. There was a Dollar General around the corner as well for simple items. Highly recommend.
We rented the property for a girls weekend getaway. There was so much space for us to hang out, sit and enjoy the weekend. The place is close to a few fun things to do in Michigan city.
We had a great time at "the Compound" as we so lovingly came to call it over our stay. This is a great multi-family house- 6 bedrooms and two full baths. The two main living spaces are kid friendly and the backyard firepit and game table were great additions. Plenty of parking, and supplies on hand. Beds were comfortable and the house was clean. Super close to the beach, attractions and everything Mich City has to offer. Matt was super responsive and great to work with.
Clean, quiet and open home, with a lot of space - indoor and outside. Great for families. Convenient location and easy access to stores and attractions.
Matthew was an absolutely amazing host. His property was much bigger than expected, with tons of area for our group. His place was incredibly clean and well taken care of. He checked in with our group on multiple occasions to make sure everything was running smoothly and was prompt to answer our questions. No doubt in my mind we will be back!
Practical, practical, practical! Great indoor AND outdoor space! Perfect for a large family! 6 bedrooms and 2 major common areas. The yard, canopy, and fire pit, etc. were spacious for games, meals and 'social distancing'. Lots to do within short distances - - many beaches. We loved it!
