Everything We Wanted

My family and I spent a memorable, relaxing week at this beautiful country retreat mid-July, 2011. We will have fond memories of drinking coffee, reading, and breakfasting on the screened porch, while watching and listening to the horses grazing at the nearby stable and seeing deer frolic through the yard. The boys discovered fresh blackberries growing in the backyard and picked a bunch to snack on throughout the week. The bedrooms were large enough to accommodate all of us. The bunk room has a traditional bunk bed and a single bed, as well. The remaining three bedrooms have very comfortable queen beds. There is also a pull-out couch in the family room. The kitchen was modern and easy to use with a crowd, since the cooking island contains the stove and stove top. An added bonus to this home is the allowance for well-behaved pets. Our two dogs loved watching through the windows and on the screened porch and were much happier with us than at home in a kennel! Outside the home, visitors will find some of the cleanest, family-friendly beachest anywhere in the U.S. We spent time at the private beach near the house and also near Mt. Baldy. All the beaches were immaculate, although somewhat rocky in places. Don't miss climbing Mt. Baldy and hiking the trails nearby. Our kids insisted we go three times while there! Michigan City has a nice variety of chain restaurants to choose from. Don't miss Sophia's House of Pancakes close to Meijer on Franklin Street. It is a true breakfast foodie place. Expect to take home lots of leftovers! Hammer's was also a wonderful spot for a family dinner. There is a variety of food from sandwiches to steaks and everyone loved their entrees. It is also fun to see the pictures of Hammer's patrons chumming with the former professional boxer! The owners of the home are very honest and will answer any questions about the house or area. We would highly recommend this home and the area for all types of retreats and all ages of people! Our time spent there was everything we had wanted in a vacation this year!

Memory-Making Vacation To Cherish!

Our family just returned from having a most enjoyable time in this beautiful home. It was open and welcoming from the moment we entered. My family was able to relax and spend quality time together while still having plenty of room. Within the first half-hour, we saw a young deer directly out the living room window that allowed us to happily watch him as he enjoyed some berries from one of the many trees. We saw many deer during our stay, including a mother and her two babies. What a treat! As well, the horses provided us with much entertainment. The young man and woman working at the stable were very accomodating making sure our two teenage sons experienced an enjoyable trail ride during our stay. We all enjoyed watching the horses from the many windows of the home as well as walking across the yard to visit them. We also brought our dog and he loved the many walks around Michiana Shores. What a beautiful neighborhood! We (including our dog) also loved the private beach as the owner, Claudia provided a very convenient parking space. In addition, we utilized the screened in-porch as we enjoyed eating a few meals and playing games there as we watched the horses and listened to nature! Also, the Stop 50 pizza place was a unique and pleasurable dining experience. As well, it was only a very short block away. How convenient! Claudia was very helpful as I asked many questions by e-mail before we arrived and I felt extremely confident that this vacation home was the one for us...and it was! We made some lasting memories here and would love to come back to make more!

Best Vacation Rental Yet

The house is immaculate, roomy and well decorated, better than most hotels. If we weren't on a vacation weekend it would be hard to justify leaving the house. Our pet loved sitting on the screen porch looking out at the giant horses frolicking in the pens and walking past the house. The whole house stereo system was a nice touch also. The weather was rainy and cool so we couldn't enjoy the beach but it didn't really matter. I'd definitely go back to this house again in a heartbeat. Owner was very nice and considerate. Thanks for the great stay!

Our family just returned from a wonderful long weekend at this well appointed home! The location to the beach was just a short drive and private parking was available very close to the beach entrance! Wonderful weather, a beautiful home and a very responsive home owner made for an incredible experience!

This property was exactly what we had hoped for. Near a nice, quiet beach, well off the road, spacious, clean, handsomely decorated (with great original art) but also within easy driving distance to good restaurants and shops.The owners provided helpful information etc. Plus the pizza place that's within walking distance has the most amazing dessert! We very much hope to return!

Location was wonderful. Close to beautiful Lake Michigan beach! Spacious; party of nine and we had more than enough room. Clean. 3 bathrooms a definite plus. Open floor plan and lots of windows! Wished we could have stayed for an entire week! Looks like a great place for cross country skiing also.

Loved the house! Location was great; we walked to the beach even though it says it is .5 mile; it is definitely walkable. Very clean. Spacious. We were a group of 7 adults and 2 kids and we were very comfortable. Would definitely go back again! This was a family trip and the entire group was happy. We didn't get to horseback ride; maybe next time!

This house has everything you need for a home-away-from-home while on vacation. Our family enjoyed the beautiful furnishings, artistic touches and well-appointed kitchen. We also liked watching the horses from the stable come and go each day. The beach was a short bike ride or drive away. The owners were very helpful. We would stay here again!
