Cute and clean

We stayed at this house for two days. The check in was easy and the hosts were very attentive and considerate. We had a great time staying in this cute and clean house. Everything was very clean and neat. The train was little noisy. Thank you so much for providing nice and clean house during our stay there.

Things to know

Very difficult parking...even more difficult stairs...Trains within 50 yards (very loud at night)... it is an upstairs unit...there was no one in the downstairs unit when we stayed (I do think that could be an issue...the yard is small and needed mowing). The unit itself was cute, clean. well stocked, everything was in good working order. The folks were very easy to work with.

Perfect Getaway

This house was just as described and much better! Updated older home in a quiet neighborhood except for the occasional train whistle which didn’t disturb us at all! This place was so equipped we wouldn’t have had to bring anything but our clothes..The hosts were very accommodating and we would definitely stay here again when we come back to Michigan City.

Birthday Weekend

The unit was super cozy and right down the street from the Lighthouse Mall and casino! The property owners were very accommodating and very thoughtful. I had mentioned that it was my birthday weekend and they had a little note wishing me a happy birthday along with a bottle of wine to celebrate! I will definitely be staying there again!
