Girls Trip

Our group of ladies have been doing wk end “girls” trips for 25 years and this place was perfect for our group. Freshly remodeled. Clean and stocked. So many bedrooms and bathrooms, we all had space. Super large dining table with room for all to eat together. We never tried the hot tub but appreciated it being included. Close to the outlets and casino. We enjoyed some local restaurants too. Thanks for a great stay.

Fantastic home

We did another ladies weekend here, and we plan to go back again next year! House is spacious, clean, has everything we need other than the food, and the hot tub was icing on the cake! It is very echoing in the upstairs, if people are downstairs, so just bring a noise machine if that bothers you. We loved our stay here, and plan to make this a yearly trip!

Extended Family Meet-up

We had a total group of 16 (4 separate families) stay and the dining, bedroom, and bathroom spaces were great! Good balance of adequate shared space and separate areas when we needed a little quieter time (or for the teenagers). Only had to reach the house once and Karen responded quickly. Would definitely recommend and are considering a return in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Agustin and Karen

Host profile image
I am a fellow Illinoisan, I grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago, I graduated from Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, and when I was growing up I would visit the Indiana Dunes, New Buffalo, St. Joseph, and visited many beach towns up on the Lake Michigan coast. I work in the mortgage industry and have a family of 4, as I got older I became very fond of my childhood memories coming to Lake Michigan and enjoying the beach. I hope you enjoy our vacation home and make those same memories our family has made.

Why they chose this property

This home is spacious but also has that family feeling that allows you to spend time together, regardless if you are in the kitchen, dining room, or living room. With so many bedrooms it's easy to accommodate a big family trip on an affordable budget. The home was recently renovated and designed for your comfort.

What makes this property unique

The property is a 5 minute drive from Washington Park Beach, very close to New Buffalo, Indiana Dunes, and not too far from Chicago. The house has a hot tub to relax in, and is great entertainment areas both inside the kitchen and in the backyard. Michigan City is also growing and has very unique eateries. The house is a perfect check point if you're driving in from the city, or if you're visiting from somewhere else and are tempted to drive to Chicago, or up the Michigan coast.
