MI City Stay

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.

Family Vacation

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.

Super nice rental!

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.

Great Multi-Family property in Mich 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.

Amazing Weekend

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!

Good times for all! Lots of space!

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!
