Location: Michigan City, Indiana, USA
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
We love this house, spend most of our time here and rent the house out only rarely and only in the summer. We are in a great location at Beachwalk! We're close to Lake Michigan, but are on a side street with little traffic and are away from the noise and bustle of the main drag at Beachwalk.
Do you enjoy cooking? You can leave your Kitchenaid and your Cuisinart (not to mention your waffle iron and panini maker) at home and enjoy our well-equipped gourmet kitchen. Do you like gardens? Ours includes perennials, ornamental grasses, roses and a rock garden, all of which attract a wide variety of birds and butterflies.
Our stone patio is a terrific place to just sit, enjoy the garden, watch birds and listen to the fountain in the pond nearby. Our portable fire pit is great for a cool evening (s'mores anyone?).
Because we actually live in this house, it is rented out minus several rooms (master suite, wine cellar, craft room) that are locked off. That still leaves plenty of room though! The first floor has an open-plan living/dining/kitchen area with stone fireplace, perfect for casual entertaining or just hanging out.
The first floor bedroom has a queen-sized bed and full bath next to it. The huge second floor room has 2 twin beds and a full bath, as well as a gas fireplace, exercise equipment, TV, piano and table and chairs for games or dining. The garden level has a bedroom with 2 twin beds, a full bath and an adjoining family room with TV, leading to the patio and garden through French doors.
The house is stocked with a variety of beach toys, games, books, information about local wildlife and attractions and, of course, a little red wagon to help you get all your stuff down the boardwalk to the best stretch of beach in Indiana. So whether you're looking for a place for a family vacation, for a gathering of friends or for a romantic getaway, I think you'll find our cottage a very special place. We are quite flexible about check-in and check-out times.
Our home and neighborhood are welcoming to all races, ethnic groups and family structures. Our two standard poodles will be happy to share their home, and even their treat jar, with your well-behaved dog, and at no additional fee.
Family allergies to cats prevent us from hosting feline guests, however. An extra damage deposit is required to deal with the sometimes unavoidable doggy mishap, but will be promptly refunded in full if no damage has occurred.
