Coming from Minnesota, we are always hopeful that when we travel some distance our VRBO selection meets our expectations. Being that this rental was in one of favorite places, Beverly Shores, we anticipated having a great time. Our expectations were exceeded. The Marys have provided a retreat as warm and comfortable as any home you may find. From the cozy living room with a great fireplace to the bright and cheery kitchen to the private outdoor spa, it all made for a great long weekend. If we could arrange for more trips, we would like to soak in the views and soak in the spa each season. Thanks Mary and Mary for opening your special place to us. carol & oliver
Owner response:Oliver & Carol, Thank you so much for the awesome comment. We would love to have you back.

So many great family memories have been made at "our" cabin!! It feels like home every time we enter. It's half way between our Michigan and Illinois homes ~ couldn't be more convenient. Thanks to the two Mary's who own it! Very easy and pleasant to work with.
Owner response:Thank you Judy and Gang. Glad you had a great reunion again. I looke forward to hearing from you in the future. Happy New Year

Our way too short stay was amazing. I cooked an entire Thanksgiving Dinner and there was everything I needed to prepare the feast. Most places I've stayed in the past have had limited kitchen supplies. The house was stocked with everything I could of wanted. Very quaint cozy and warm home. The fireplace and hot tub are the obvious special amenities, but the entire place was filled with all the comforts of home!!
Owner response:If I had known you were cooking I would have stopped by. Thank you for the great review and I hope you'll choose our property again. Happy Holidays. Mary & Mary

HI Mary, We had a fabulous time - even with the iffy weather. It was a great space and the kids loved it. They even had good naps each day, which is an achievement! LOL. We found everything we needed. We would definitely love to come back again - maybe even in late Spring or Summer. Thanks again for everything. I'll be in touch when the time comes for travels again. cheers, Janet

My wife and I needed a place near Chicago to spend our 6th anniversary. We lucked out with this great house in the Indiana Dunes! The house is seriously comfy. The hot tub was great, even if the weather wasn't perfect (rain...a lot). But we still were able to hike the dunes, cook a dinner, and enjoy our time together. We also got to bring our dog, which was a key to this vacation. Michigan City is nearby and allowed us some quick shopping and a great dinner and brew at the Shoreline Brewery. Our only problem was the gas grill either didn't seem to be working properly, or we were too stupid to start all the burners. Maybe the gas was low. Other than that, the weekend was great and we certainly hope to stay there in the future again! It's a clean, well stocked cabin. Fantastic!
Owner response:Nathan, Thank you for the review. I will check on the grill. It is an electric start so perhaps the battery needs replacement. I appreciate you letting us know. I hope you will return to our property and I appreciate the great review. Happy Anniversary.

To The Two Marys, A great getaway for four ladies aged in their 40's to 70's. Had a wonderful time exploring the area. Agreed by all that Beverly Shores had the most homelike feel to it. Not as touristy or as much traffic as other areas. The house was perfect. Now want to come back when its a little warmer so we can really enjoy the beach. Would recommend The Shores to anyone who is wanting a pleasant place to stay in the Dunes area. Nancy, Illinois

Mary, Everything was wonderful. We considered the heat situation a slight 'hiccup'. Mary T called me soon after talking with you. She had me go into the garage to see if I could hear the furnace running. While there she let me know where everything was to set the fireplace up. (I hope we did everything correctly.) She then let me know that Bill would be coming by to see what he could do. When Bill arrived we had gotten a fire started and it was starting to take the chill off. Bill then told us that Mary T was trying to get the HVAC man to come out. Mary T called to let us know that John would be coming and soon after he showed up and fixed the problem. We could not be happier with the way the situation was addressed. We enjoyed the fire and it had warmed up in time for bed. We will definitely come to The Shores when we return to the area. We traveled around the area and we felt the most at home in Beverly Shores. We greatly enjoyed all the information on Beverly Shores that was available at the house.

Mary, It was absolutely what both of us needed. We even got to see a family of deer in your front yard. Twice! Your vacation cottage is very clean and has a lot of peacefulness surrounding it! Thank you for asking. Linda

The house was VERY clean. We had a wonderful time. Especially enjoyed the fireplace (and wood provided) and the LARGE hottub. Description of the house was right on track.Very well stocked with every thing needed in a home. (bring your own food and toiletries) We will make it a point to visit this property again. 4 blocks to the beach. A very quiet and relaxing vacation. I will always remember what I was doing during the Royal Wedding!! There are lots of beautiful birds around. Loved to hear them singing. Our two dogs LOVED their vacation.
Owner response: Thank you for staying with us and the great comments. We would love to have you back.
