2nd Stay at the ART House

My spouse, mother, 2 dogs & I had the pleasure of staying here for a second time. This trip was on the occasion of my mom's 75th birthday. I can't imagine better accommodations for the trip. All the amenities were there. As an added bonus, the magnolia trees were in full bloom in the lovely side yard. Our dogs love it here and the neighborhood is a nice & quiet place for walking them. Love to shop & dine at the local businesses on Franklin St. Also, the great food at the Polish Peasant. All a very short walk away.

House had everything including a great location

This was a charming house with artistic details at every turn. The kitchen was equipped with everything that one could need. We had our dogs and there was even a basket of toys that one of our dogs, Sammie, greatly appreciated. The bed was cozy. Even the landscape was well-appointed. The house was within walking distance of antique shopping, coffee and ice cream, and a wonderful Italian restaurant Cafe Farina's. I certainly would return to this home in the future.

Exceeded All Expectations

We spent 3 days here as a fall getaway and loved it so much we didn’t want to leave. This artist inspired home was full of charm, color and personality. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, dog friendly, and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. We especially loved the screened porch and the convenient, well landscaped fenced area outside. Everything was well thought through with much attention to detail. The kitchen was very well equipped - had everything needed and more to create great meals. There are even art supplies for painting and drawing. Best getaway ever!

Very nice place

Stayed here recently and had a lovely visit. The house is about a block away from a lovely street with some shops and restaurants. The decor is wonderful, and the hosts were responsive quickly when we had a minor issue with one of the door locks. The neighborhood was a bit variable, some houses around are in pretty poor shape, but others seemed very nice like this one. Had no concerns really. There are tenants upstairs, but they were mostly quiet aside from some normal floor noises from above. Great stay, quick drive to beaches, the park, and even not a long trip to Chicago. None of the beaches were overcrowded.

The ART House had everything we needed for an amazing stay. The house is decorated beautifully, and is comfortable and inviting. The screened in porch was great for morning coffee, or evening relaxing. The house is in close proximity (walking distance) to cute shops, and locally owned restaurants. Loved looking at all decor collected over the years, and look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for allowing us to visit!!

The Art House is everything you want from a home away from home. It’s in a great location, it has so many cool things to look at and find, it’s clean and well maintained, and we just loved it. If you’re an artistic soul, you’ll find art supplies, and for the guitar player, there’s a couple guitars on the wall (a ukulele too). We could hear neighbors upstairs, but they weren’t loud at all. We had all the things we needed, and I’m pretty sure it’s the only place we want to stay now when we visit.

What a fun, eclectic, artsy vintage home! Beautiful fenced in back yard and screened in porch. Very clean and the best stocked VRBO we've ever rented. All necessities are there and more: a little coffee bar, games, books, paper towels, toilet paper, spices, cleaning products, bathroom products - you name it! Wonderful central location - close to everything we wanted to visit in and near Michigan City. Thanks, Lisa, for a wonderful stay!

Artsy and cute

We had a great time staying at this home! It’s artsy, clean, super cute but also spacious enough for family. Great location - easy access to downtown shops and the outlet mall. The host provided everything we needed and more - utensils/condiments/cooking supplies/toiletries… Hassle free check in/out Overall a fantastic experience!

Fantastic little gem

The ArtHouse is a wonderful little gem. Everywhere, there are little details to discover. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee and tea; the bathrooms had thoughtful supplies like shampoo and body wash. The neighborhood is quaint and great for dog walks. It’s also so close to anything you might need. The owners are super communicative and helpful. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic place to stay!

My daughters and I enjoyed the most wonderful stay at the ArtHouse! The accommodations were impeccable. Each room was decorated beautifully with a variety of style in artwork. The kitchen was amply supplied with everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable, too. We especially enjoyed the screened-in front porch in the evenings. You can tell that the owners care about their property and do everything to ensure a comfortable and delightful stay! We hope to return in the future.

Great stay at the art house!

We were late checking in because the house was not ready, but the owner was very generous and bought our dinner! Overall the house is delightful and looks like a museum, there are so many wonderful things to look at and features of this beautiful home! The grandchildren got up and painted every morning because there were art supplies in the home! It was very close to the beach and there are several good restaurants nearby. The house was great and I highly recommend it!

We had such a good time looking around at all the art and knick knacks throughout the house. My daughter especially loved finding all the little hidden treasures. Beds were comfy, house had pretty much everything we could have needed and we felt right at home. Loved the screenwd porch for quiet nights listening to the sounds of the city and the summertime bugs. The farmer's market, along with a frw cute restaurants and shops were just a couple blocks away, so we walked down to a few places. Beach, outlet mall and plenty more restaurants were a very short 5-10 min drive away. Best of all, the house seemed very clean and cozy. Wpuld recommend for a stay in Michigan City!
