Sports weekend!
My family stayed her during a swimmeet for my daughter in nearby Hobart. It served as a perfect home base. The host was super helpful during check-in and the house was immaculate. We’d definitely stay here again!

Family celebration
The property was wonderful. We loved the main living area where we could all gather for visiting, cooking, eating, play games, etc. and have plenty of room for all 9 of us and a baby and dog. Had great amenities which we didn’t get around to using. Had everything on the kitchen you might need and more. All was clean, well kept and great outdoor areas which we would have enjoyed if the weather had cooperated. Will definitely keep this in mind for a future get together.

So Nice, We Visited Twice
We enjoyed our stay so much in 2022, that we came back in 2023 for Thanksgiving gathering of extended family. Love the quiet location near the beach of Lake Michigan and Chicago skyline views from the nearby park

Our yearly family outing
This place was beautiful; exceptionally clean and very spacious for a family of 11. The pool table, ping pong and air hockey was an added benefit. We liked that each level had it's own area to hang out. The kitchen was well supplied and lots of seating. The yard is beautiful. It was an easy walk to the beach and to the bike/walking path near the park. Our family voted this their favorite Labor Day place to stay to date. The owner was very prompt in answering questions.

Great multi-family house
This house had plenty of room for our family reunion. There are several large common spaces, ample dining room and kitchen space, and having two master suites and two bunk rooms was ideal. Close to a lot of great beaches. Had a minor issue with water coming under a door after a heavy storm, but the owners were very responsive and addressed it immediately. We enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Great house for large group
Open floor plan kitchen perfect for hosting with three levels to spread out families/groups. 5 minute walk to the smooth, sandy, lakeside beach. Host communicates well and house is as pictured. End of July to beginning of August felt almost private at the beach during the week.

Great house - even better than photos
We were a group of 6 adults and 6 kids ranging in age from 1-8. There was something for everyone here and you can’t beat the closeness to the beach which we found to be mostly clean and a great place to hang out with the kids. The house was even bigger than we had imagined from photos and everyone had their own space. Adults and babies stayed mostly on the main floor and deck. The kids booped around between the air hockey table upstairs and the ping pong/tv space downstairs. Communication with the owner was great. She was helpful and quick to respond. The only issue we ran into was that there was more sand underfoot in the house than we would’ve liked. We had a hard time locating a broom but Margaret didn’t stop trying to help us find it. It was eventually located in a locked garage which was a mistake made by the cleaning company. Had we had access to the broom earlier we could’ve swept up the extra sand and food remnants left by our kids. The day before we left margaret ended up coming by and getting the broom out for us which was very nice of her to do. It is a beautiful property, close to the beach. We were nervous about what the area would be like since it’s in Gary but we had no issues. We mostly stayed at the house or walked to the beach. Thanks for a great stay!

Summer House 2023
The house was perfect for my 7 grandchildren and their parents. There were plenty of common areas for the adults and the children to play games or just relax to watch movies. Unfortunately, the hot tub did not work while we were there. Other than that it was a great time at the beach house!
