We enjoyed the stay and being able to bring our dogs was the best. The property is great, we did not use the hot tub, but did walk to the beach and that was great. There is also great food within walking distance so that was a plus too. Would stay here again. Just would recommend you do not try and come in a full size pickup with 8 foot bed, parking was a challenge even though they do have plenty of parking. It's a narrow lane the home is on and tricky to get the truck in and out. Next time we bring the smaller car!!! Thanks!Gina

Enjoyed the hot tub with the quietness of the neighborhood it was truly relaxing. Watching for birds in the area was very enjoyable. I absolutely was in love with the heated floors in the bathroom. I appreciate an older home and could see the character it held. A few adjustments would have made it perfect and the owner tried over the phone to make the alarm stop but it continued throughout our stay so we fixed it in our own way (take out the batteries) for our time there. Shower head needs to be replaced but informed the owner of this as well. Appears to have a crack in the shower head-but did enjoy its rain shower qualities.

Nice little get away
The yard is awesome, of course the hot tub at the top of the hill was the best, and we enjoyed the firepit as well. The house was a tidy little cottage at which we enjoyed our stay. It’s within a short walk to the National Park and downtown Miller Beach. The neighborhood is fine, pretty secluded, and still close to most attractions.

Nice house for a weekend but location lacking
The house is nice, but pictures are a bit “glamorized” compared to the real thing. Kitchen in TINY so if you plan on cooking at all, keep that in mind. Not much to do in the neighborhood, but if your plan is to tuck in and stay at the house the whole time it’s a great place for that. The hot tub is very relaxing.

Sheryl: Thank you for choosing Camp Baxter for your getaway. Miller Beach is a tiny beachside community within the municipality of Gary, IN. Situated 10 miles NE of downtown Gary, the Miller Beach community is worlds apart. With its sugar-sand beaches, Chicago Skyline sunset views, adjacency to miles of pristine hiking/biking trails, nature centers, and museums in the Indiana Dunes National Park (America’s 61st and Indiana’s only!), easy 40min commute to Chicago via car or South Shore commuter train, and resident’s pride of home ownership, Miller Beach is fast becoming a resort destination.
Recently, there has been a resurgence in new construction and redevelopment in the Miller Beach corridor, and investors are flocking here. There are many structures in various stages of redevelopment. Miller Beach Vacation Rentals is constantly expanding to meet increasing market demand. Several of those board-up properties that you drove by on Lake St. are owned by us, and we look forward to unveiling them when complete.
During the 15 years that we have been renting our homes, we have NEVER had any issues or incidents with crime whatsoever.
We always tell our guests to let us know immediately if there is anything that we can do to make their stay more perfect (and leave a five-star review). At Miller Beach Vacation Rentals, someone is always on-call 24/7 through our message app to answer questions, find solutions, and ensure our guests have the best possible stay.
Starting with just one tiny house in 2007, my husband and I were the first to open our doors to vacation renters and demand was overwhelming. Since then, we have hosted over 55,000 guests from all 50 states and 61 countries. We are in the memory-making business, and our reputation, attention to detail, consistency, communication, cleanliness, abundant amenities, and industry-leading repeat guest rate (55%) makes Miller Beach and our vacation rentals second to none. We look forward to sharing our Miller Beach Vacation Rentals with you and your friends again soon!

Nice, dog friendly home
Overall, we had a nice stay at Camp Baxter. The house was clean, conveniently stocked with basics like shampoo, conditioner, coffee, firewood, etc., and in a quiet, secluded area. We only had two minor annoyances, the second one being more important: 1.) no hot water in the bathroom sink. 2.) the listing describes the property as having a “6ft tall perimeter fence that surrounds the compound.” This is not accurate. The 6ft wood fence is partial with the rest of the property surrounded by a shorter wire fence. There was a significant gap under the entry gate and another gap near the back corner. We had to block off both to make sure our 3 large dogs didn’t get out. I’d recommend checking the fence upon arrival before letting dogs loose, especially smaller ones, and bringing a flash light (we saw coyotes along the back fence one night). The check in/ check out process was easy, house cozy, and nice amenities. We would stay here again and enjoyed our trip very much. Recommend to anyone looking for a secluded retreat who wants to bring along their pups!

Hi Raelynn
Thanks for choosing Camp Baxter for your getaway and for your valuable feedback! We recently installed a new tankless hot water heater as part of our “go green” initiative as well as a water-saving head on the bathroom sink. There is more than adequate pressure and hot water, but it does take a minute to get from the tankless to the bathroom faucet. None of the other fixtures have any water flow regulators.
As far as the perimeter fencing, you are correct, the 6ft wooden privacy fence is installed where it matters most—in the front and sides of the property near the road. There is, however, a 4ft tall wire fence in the back and rear sides to keep our furry friends in and others out. Camp Baxter is uniquely situated on the side of a dune; in fact, the hot tub and wrap-around deck are partially built into the side of the dune. To preserve this natural beauty, we did not want to erect a wooden fence where it is not needed since there are no neighbors, roads, or anything to hinder the feeling of complete privacy and being one with nature. As such, we will check the two areas that you mention to ensure that the fencing is sound and complete. Thanks again and we welcome you back at any of our year-round Miller Beach Vacation Rentals.

Nice place.
We had a great time. The neighborhood was very sketchy but that was expected. Right near the dunes was perfect. The house accepted dogs, we brought our injured pup. Awesome. Smaller than anticipated but all in all it was awesome. Clean and had everything we needed.
With all the text messages from the rental company about checking in, they NEVER answered our text about how to turn on the outside lights. My husband and I numerous of times tried to text the number given and NO ONE bothered to call or text back.
Glad we did not bring the boat, should be very clear very small entry way and alley way to house. Very protected but we think someone either the owner or rental company had come in when we left. The storage door downstairs was locked when we arrived. The day we left to the dunes, Monday it was unlocked. Also, someone must have been watching us leave because we were not gone too long, and someone had come onto the property to put the trash cans out on the street. Very aware we had to do it because it is in CAPS in the house rules, so that was a bit eerie also.
All in all, great vacation and everything worked out. We were happy with the house and the fenced in yard and the space we had for the four of us and dog. Thank you.

Smells like grandmas basement
Where to start… The listing says the house is in Miller Beach, IN. The house has a Gary, IN address. The town and neighborhood leading up to the rental property is really trashy. It looks like a hundred construction projects were never finished and everything in town looked really run down. I was thankful we brought the dogs and that there was a gate we could lock at the end of the driveway. The property itself looks pretty nice. We really liked the privacy/privacy fence the property has to offer. The house looks cute from the outside. The grass was long though, not sure when it was mowed last. We entered the house and noticed a very strong, musty, old basement smell (hence the title of my review). The interior is cute. Everything was fairly clean. I found a few large ants in the kitchen over the course of our stay. I also found a plastic meat and cheese wrapper by the nightstand in the bedroom to the right of the bathroom. So, that makes me wonder who’s cashing in on my cleaning fee? If it’s an outside company, maybe the rental company needs to ask for a refund. The coffee cups were dirty along with some of the silverware. The kitchen counters could use a good wipe down. It looked like something was spilled by the coffee maker and wasn’t cleaned up properly. The button to turn on the jets in the bathtub is stuck/broken. The outdoor shower doesn’t work. I was delighted to see that they provided everyday items such as shampoo/conditioner/body wash, hand soap, dish detergent and detergent for the dishwasher, trash bags, and paper towels. They provided beach towels and there are even sand toys and bag chairs at the house you could borrow for the beach, which was really nice. All of the smart home technology was pretty cool. The hot tub was ok, some sticky gunk on the edge of the hot tub. I think it was probably from some tape used to repair a possible tear in the hot tub cover. Nonetheless, it was nice to relax in the hot tub in the evenings. The heated floors in the bathroom were really nice. I’m pretty sure I need heated floors in my house now. Overall, I give it a 3 star rating. Not sure I would ever return, but that statement is mostly based on the neighborhood which surrounds the property. Driving through town made me very uncomfortable. For the most part, we had a nice time.

“Sorry” not sorry
Two bedroom - one bed is what ya get. The bed collapsed. The gate lock would not open. After thirty minutes of calling nobody back. Leaving me outside for a half hour. Mind you I called 6 PM with 7 PM, 8 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM midnight 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 9 AM finally I am told I’m sorry. By the manager. Not a solution just sentiment. Meaning I had to cancel the rest of my guest, because there was no bed in the rental. Six hours later I was told they could send someone over but by then it is too late. I had cancelled my family from coming. The catered food which was arriving at 11am was cancelled. And the over $2,000 spent was out the window and spent the holiday alone. They don’t care about the customer. Once the money hit their account that was the last time they cared. You will sign contract and have phone calls and pre screening but don’t expect any support from them when you don’t get what you paid for.

If you have a problem - “Sorry”
First, they have a signed contract after contracts and do background checks, OK acceptable. Then the day of they call you three different times. Make sure you’re coming and go over everything you had to sign in contracts. OK acceptable. When you get there the code does not work to get in the gate and you stand there for over a half hour and you call and you call and you call and nobody returns or phone calls. No fortunately I booked the same place two days later, and I receive the code for the gate which that one did work it shouldn’t have for security reasons, but it did. I get all my stuff moved in get ready for bed sit on the bed and the bed collapses. Waiting for a phone call from 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM, 9 PM, 10 PM, 11 PM, 12 1 AM, 2 AM, 3 AM, 4 AM, 5 AM, 6 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM when I do get a phone call from the manager his response is “sorry” sorry which means the two bedroom two bed. In short, I have to cancel my party from coming which means I have to cancel the food for the week which means I am spending Thanksgiving alone and their responses. I’m sorry but thank you for sending the $2000. We’re off to the bank lol.

Not as advertised
This place served it's purpose for a girls' trip, but only because we are not high maintenance. Upon entering, it smells musty, very musty. The photos make it look fresh and modern. It is FAR from that. Notice every pic has a filter. The basement is like a dungeon and none of us felt comfortable sleeping there. So the futon upstairs was used. IT'S a rock!! (And I'm ex-military and can sleep damn near anywhere!!) The gate lock was broken when we got there. I texted immediately to let the manager know, She said she'd get a new one that night or morning. We never heard from her again, until the night before check out. We used the lock from the sprinkler system, otherwise, we would have had no gate lock the whole stay...and let's just say with that neighborhood, probably not a good idea. I seriously never write complaints, but this stay was a bit over the top. The property is EXTREMELY overpriced, pics are not accurate and the property manager was inattentive. (She did call 72 hrs after our arrival. Too little, too late.) If you're going to Miller Beach, avoid this property.

Nice relaxing place. Only issue was gate was to tight to pull directly in with a full size truck.
Good place & location close to beaches & dunes. Gate to tight for full size truck.
