Cozy Stay at the Lake!

This cottage was a lovely and cozy place to spend time with family. It was newly renovated with a large, spacious, well appointed kitchen. The front porch was also spacious with views of trees. The porch was sunny in the morning and shaded for afternoons. We spent a good deal of outdoor time there. The walk to the beach was quick and easy allowing us to access the beach several times a day. The beach toys and chairs were very convenient for us. The cottage was accurately represented on VRBO and our host was very gracious, communicating promptly whenever needed. The cottage is a well cared for home that makes an inviting and comfortable stay at the lake!

Miller Beach for the win

Our family of six had a lovely time. Short walk to the beach, close drive to the Indiana Dunes, and nice neighbors. Had just about everything you could need during a stay. We added a couple items to the inventory for the next family. Nice view of the city across the water. Close to lots of stores and ample storage space for your weekly stock. Felt lucky to meet Mr Emmet and appreciated his kindness to us and our four boys. Hope to be back some day!

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Ilich

Meet the owners of Emmet’s Place…we have enjoyed Miller beach for over 18yrs! All because of our matriarch Colleen (on the left), who came here as child. We can’t wait to share this house with you and your family to create your own memories
