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.

A great time at the Dunes!
This place is in a very nice spot, only about a block and a half from the beach. My wife and kids (and dog) had a wonderful time there!

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..

Perfect landing pad
Loved this house for our long weekend trip. Just enough room for our family of 5, really enjoyed the outside space after a busy day of running around the dunes and the beach. Kids liked playing with the sand toys and adults enjoyed the beach chairs. Close to everything we wanted to do but wish we had more days to explore!

Cozy
The cottage was cozy but had everything you need. It’s the perfect location and the owners were great. It was a little too close for comfort with our original crew of 6 adults and a toddler but once a couple of them left half way through the trip it was perfect. The location was absolutely perfect. I loved it!!

Great stay & Excellent hosts
The cottage was in a perfect location for us, walking distance to a semi-private feeling beach and local cafes. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and even a couple cold beers in the fridge. Tom and Susan also graciously let us check out later on Father’s Day so that we wouldn’t miss out on our extended family’s Beach Day. Would totally recommend their beach cottage.

Weekend getaway
We loved the location and the house - it was close to Indiana Dunes which is where we were hiking plus Michigan City. It was also 2 blocks to the beach which was a bonus. There were workers there Saturday all day pounding and making noise which was a little frustrating when we were trying to relax and rest but otherwise it was a beautiful location and the house met all our needs!
