Perfect house for multiple families. Everyone had their own space and such great common area space. We had 8 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of room. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen to cook all the meals and was so nice to have a table that fit us all. We had such a great stay and made lifelong memories!

Great, stay in vacation town!

This Stay was amazing! Tbh the pictures don’t give it justice. When I finally arrived at the property, I got way more than what the pictures described. There is a very clean large and spacious bedroom in the basement that is not shown in the pictures. Large enough to fit 12 of my friends and I. I definitely recommend

Wedding Weekend

Sweet Retreat and its companion property Sweet Inn are the perfect place for a family gathering. We were there for a wedding in nearby Michigan City, so the location was ideal. With the two houses rented together, we had the right amount of space to gather as a group but also have some privacy when needed. The smaller house is great for older family members or those with young kids who need a separate quiet space. It was cold and chilly, so we didn’t use the outdoor space, but it looked lovely as well. Both houses were well stocked with kitchen supplies for cooking for a large group. The host was responsive, flexible and helpful and made sure we had what we needed for a great stay. I left a nice review on Sweet Inn but forgot to click the stars—it was 5 star as well! Would definitely rent again!

Great Reunion House

We had 4 families staying here, coming from all around the upper midwest for a friend reunion (8 adults and 10 kids aged 3-10). Each couple had their own room, and the kids camped out in the basement (or in their parent's rooms). We utilized many amenities of the Beachwalk resort (yoga class, pool, playground, tennis, shuffleboard, bocce ball) and spent a day at the BEAUTIFUL Lake Michigan beach down the road. Be sure to bring everything you might need for the beach (sand toys, chairs, shade, etc). There was a wagon to use to help cart it all. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of towels to go around, plus we used the washing machine to keep things freshened up! We had a great stay here and would not hesitate to recommend it to another fun-loving group!

Nice family reunion

Beautiful location with lots to do in the community … the house was clean and kitchen has plenty of equipment/dishes. Assortment of spices… but brings everything else needed for food. Great communication of how to check in… be aware everyone must wear event wristbands and cars need parking passes. Ours were missing in arrival… but they brought them quickly. We enjoyed the pool, pickleball, beach access. They have local live music in the evening. Would recommend for groups wanting space both inside and out!
