Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2000
As a native daughter who grew up on the Lake Michigan Riviera, I know there are no shores that compare to the ones at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. With Chicago next door, you have the best of lives - both urban and beach.
Why the Owner Chose Michiana
From this house, tucked deep into the woods only 1 l/2 blocks from Lake Michigan, you can actually hear the waves crashing against the shore. A short walk down the hill puts you right on the sandy shores. The secluded cabin in this tiny forested village is located close to shopping, restaurants and amenities in New Buffalo, Michigan, and Michigan City, Indiana. A short drive to the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, harbors, state parks, small farms and wineries. 70 miles from Chicago Loop.

What a wonderful vacation! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hillside Trail. Your beautiful secluded home and the nearby relaxing beach were the perfect combination. I can only hope that we can repeat our experience next summer...
