Girls weekend

The location of the property was so convenient to shopping and great local restaurants! House was well appointed and as described. Very comfortable to hang out and sip coffee in the mornings or sit up with wine and gossip at night. We would definitely choose the Parsonage for another girls trip!

Wedding weekend

I cannot give 10 stars or I would. Katie was a dream...flexible, communicative and beyond friendly. We stayed with family to be close to our daughter's wedding venue, Friendship Botanic Gardens. If I had more time at the moment I would write more, all praise for the wonderful experience. The house is beautiful, warm and welcoming. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect stay!

Great stay at the Parsonage!

Amazing property! Everything was exactly as described and as shown in the photos. The house has tons of character and lots of space. Katie was great to work with and made sure everything was perfect. This was our first trip to Michigan City, and the Parsonage is in a great location, with lots of interesting shops to walk to just two blocks over. We had two couples and three teenagers and had plenty of room in the house. It was great having an attached bathroom on each bedroom. Lots of seating on the lower level. Overall a really great property if you are looking to visit Michigan City.

Wonderful Family Vacation

My family stayed at the Parsonage for our annual "Christmas in June" vacation. The home was clean and beautiful. We loved having bathrooms in every bedroom. Everything you would possibly need for cooking meals was available in the kitchen. The owners had even left plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher soap, Kleenex, baggies, aluminum foil, hand soap, etc. We were used to bringing all of these things and it was nice to not have to do so this time. The home is just a block from the outlet mall, a coffee shop, and an ice cream shop. It was just a little further to walk to the brewery. A quick drive had us to the beach and the casino. Katie was quick to answer any questions I had. She also left some delicious homemade cookies for us when we arrived. This was the perfect place for my family. We would definitely return if we come back to Michigan City for another vacation!

The check in was nice and easy. We checked in early and went to Washington Beach for the day. We took a ride to the Heston Steam Engine Museum and rode the steam engine. Ate lunch at Redamark in New Buffalo, Michigan. Great food. A little crowded on a Saturday. Then went to Sheridan Beach for the day. Another great beach day. Some did a little shopping at the Outlet Mall and spent another day at Washington Beach. Both beaches are nice but they do get crowded. The home is fully equipped with whatever you need. Great stay.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay- amazing historic home in a great location. We were there for a family reunion and The Paraonage was close to everything we did. House was so clean, comfortable, well stocked, and had a toy closet that our 4 year old granddaughter enjoyed. Lakeshore coffee house and Chickpea Mediterranean restaurant were just down the alley. Both excellent and we highly recommend. Katie was great and easy to work with. Would definitely stay there again.

Charming Home Away from Home

We had such a wonderful stay in this charming historic home right in the heart of Michigan City! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how warm, clean, peaceful, and welcoming everything felt. The house is full of character and history, yet thoughtfully updated to feel incredibly cozy and comfortable. Every detail, from the beautifully maintained decor to the spotless rooms, made it feel like a true home away from home for our entire family (5kids ranging from 14yo to 9mo). You can tell the owners have poured love and care into every inch of this property. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and make memories. Highly recommend!

Amazingly convenient location in multiple ways. Short trip to New Buffalo train station and ample free street parking made it easy for our family from Madison, Chicago, and Ann Arbor to meet. Once we arrived, we could walk to beach, many restaurants, and outlet mall easily. Also a quick commute to see the White Sox play.

Wedding Weekend

My bridal party and I stayed at the property over my wedding weekend. The house was absolutely beautiful, and the listing photos do not do it justice! The house is so spacious and was perfect for us to spread out while getting hair and makeup done and still have plenty of room to sit around and hang out. When we arrived the dining room was set up beautifully with flowers and homemade cookies that were just wonderful. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Katie was so responsive during the check in/out process and even gave us a lovely nearby coffee recommendation. I can’t wait for another chance to stay here again!

Great location

Our family loved this rental. We all had our own rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is great for cooking and also the gas grill. The furnishings of the home were great and we all enjoyed the home. We visited the Barker Museum, the Outlet Mall, Sheridan Beach and we rode go carts. The weather was perfect. The host responds right away to your questions. Perfect weekend getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Stack

Host profile image
I grew up in Michigan City and always admired The Parsonage from my school bus. My husband Joe and I have had a beach home in the area for 17 years now and we enjoy all the seasons in Michigan City with our entire family. Great beaches, shopping, casino, restaurants and all of Harbor Country close by. We met the Hoovers this past summer and were wowed by this property and saw this as an opportunity to own this very special property while involving ourselves in the exciting changes happening in Michigan City.

Why they chose this property

Why The Parsonage? You know why when you walk into the front hall. The sweeping staircase and grandeur of an age gone by is evident with the soaring 12 foot ceilings and beautiful wood floors. Furnishings have been updated to provide comfort and style. Gracious common rooms and private bedrooms with private baths make this the perfect gathering for a family or groups of couples and friends. You will never forget your stay at this special property.

What makes this property unique

A stay at The Parsonage provides the unique opportunity to vacation in a stately historic home that has been maintained to perfection throughout the years.
