Troll’s Den is exactly as described - very clean, excellent neighborhood, and very comfortable. Our party had 3 adults (Sistercation) but plenty of space, games, and books for children. We were at this Beachwalk property during the off season; however, we still visited the clubhouse and played ping pong. The pool and community area looked nice. Our home had a shared fire pit, bikes, and other amenities available that we did not use due to short stay of 3 nights. Highly recommend trails at the Indiana Dunes State Park including the 3 Dunes Challenge and Trail 10 along the water of Lake Michigan - excellent views. Our host Anders checked in on us and was available if needed. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again.

Overall it was a good stay. The property felt safe and was clean. The pillows were very old and yellow on all of the beds upstairs. Changing those out could do a lot to improve the experience.

My family and I had a great stay at the Troll House while we were in town for a family wedding. The rooms were cozy, but had exactly what we needed, and my kids loved checking out the troll hole under the stairs. The bikes came in handy when we needed to ride over for some of the wedding activities at different beach stops, so that was fantastic! We also had a great time checking out some of the amenities at the Beachwalk, like kayaking, shuffleboard, and the pool. We had a wonderful time here, thanks for your hospitality!

We love the beachwalk resort and had a great time staying at the trolls den. The owner is very accessible and made sure we had everything we needed. My kids 17 and 10 had a fun time riding the shared scooters and bikes and it gave them some freedom to ride around plus get some exercise. We grilled on the gas grill and used the shared fire pit and there was plenty of wood available for that. Convenient parking in front, very cute place as well. It was perfect for our needs. The weather was great the week of aug. 26th and we didnt even use the Ac much at all. We had a great time and we would book it again!

Its such a cute community my 3 and 5 year old just loved riding their scooters around the neighborhood! Super quiet and has a cute playground! It was chilly when we came so we didnt do pool or splash pads but went to Washington Park and the zoo there and loved it ! Anders was the nicest host and lived next door if we needed anything! We will definitely be back !

House smaller than expected (around 700 sq ft), no golf cart available (actually prohibited) for this house, beach is several blocks away, bedroom windows only have white sheer curtains that do nothing to block out morning sun, needs better cleaning (cobwebs, splatters on kitchen wall, shower curtain filthy and needs replacing).

Family Vacation

Most of the stay was exceptional including communication with owner. The only issue we had was with technology in 2 of the bedrooms our kids were in. Anders was responsive and offered to troubleshoot but I declined. The two bedrooms are in significant need of new TV's. The TV's advertised as DVD players xbox for DVD didn't work (no controller, manual menu browsing, etc) and even if they had it would have been a very antiquated experience (devices were at least 15-20 years old). For the cost associated with this rental I think updating the tech in those two rooms would be a reasonable request as new smart TV's are not a major investment these days.Otherwise, excellent stay. Anders was a very accomodating host and even offered to have his wife who is an R.N. check on our daughter who was under the weather.For some folks my minor complaint may be no big deal at all...we have four kids under 12 though and all are used to having easy access to TV at night.

Perfect place for small family

We stayed in the Troll's Den with our family of 4 and it was just perfect. Easy checkin and good amenities. The property manager communicated everything that we needed to know and got us wristbands for the amenities, including paddle boats and playground. It was less than a mile walk to the beach. Lake Michigan was cold because we were there in May, so it felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Overall a great trip. The kids keep asking when we can go back.
Beach (Lake Michigan) less than a mile walk away
Great amenities, like little lake for paddle boats and volleyball net
