Girls Trip

Our group of ladies have been doing wk end “girls” trips for 25 years and this place was perfect for our group. Freshly remodeled. Clean and stocked. So many bedrooms and bathrooms, we all had space. Super large dining table with room for all to eat together. We never tried the hot tub but appreciated it being included. Close to the outlets and casino. We enjoyed some local restaurants too. Thanks for a great stay.

Big family house

Ideal size and clean as advertised. Our family had enough space and room given the many bedrooms and bathrooms. Hot tub was a plus. Large dining room table allowed us to gather and eat together. Karen was very kind and easy with communication.

Fantastic home

We did another ladies weekend here, and we plan to go back again next year! House is spacious, clean, has everything we need other than the food, and the hot tub was icing on the cake! It is very echoing in the upstairs, if people are downstairs, so just bring a noise machine if that bothers you. We loved our stay here, and plan to make this a yearly trip!

Extended Family Meet-up

We had a total group of 16 (4 separate families) stay and the dining, bedroom, and bathroom spaces were great! Good balance of adequate shared space and separate areas when we needed a little quieter time (or for the teenagers). Only had to reach the house once and Karen responded quickly. Would definitely recommend and are considering a return in the future.

wonderful house!

This house was wonderful for our family group of 12. The 7 bedrooms meant that everyone could spread out. The table in the dining area is beautiful and can easily accommodate a large group. The neighborhood is quiet and people (like the postal carrier) are very friendly. The house was very clean! We would definitely stay here again.

Great house setup for college friends weekend

We stayed at the house for a long weekend over the July 4th holiday. The house's bedrooms setup worked great for our group made up of 3 families for a total of 11 people (6 adults, 5 teenagers). We had plenty of space for everyone with bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, good living area seating, and a large dining table. Neighborhood was fine and we walked one night to an ice cream shop about a half mile toward the lake. With the holiday weekend, many fireworks were being used until 2 am within the neighborhood. It kept some group members awake until they ended. Overall a great house to spend the weekend and enjoy the surrounding area's offerings like the Indiana Dunes.

Great experience!

We loved our stay in Michigan City. The house was a great size for our family of 10 adults & 7 kids! The extra stand up freezer/refrigerator was awesome! Hot tub & gas grill worked great! So thankful for a washer/dryer and liquid soap provided that the machine needed. Surrounding beaches and an outlet mall--need I say more?!

Sisters weekend

The house was nicely updated and accommodating for our large family gathering. We were disappointed however that there were few points of interest within walking distance. One neighbor allowed his dog to bark constantly all night. There was also a problem with ants in one bedroom.
