We are originally from the area but moved to GA 18 years ago. All of our Family still resides in NW Indiana. It was nice to have a home to stay in and yet be together with all of our Family. The property was a perfect location and provided all the comforts of home!

Good time had by all!

The property was well kept. Anything we could have possibly needed was on hand. Geraldine was friendly and accessible, although everything was so prepared we really didn't need to contact her for anything. Excellent place to stay when visiting the dunes. Able to come back to the place after a long day in the national Park and relax on the deck, kayak, fish and just relax. Highly recommend this property to anybody visiting Indiana dunes.

Excellent all around

House was clean, beautifully decorated, and much large than it appeared from the outside and images. Best stocked kitchen of any other places I have stayed. The backyard and pier were large, comfortable. Kids loved play around the in the water - swimming, kayaks and the paddle boat. Ms. Geri was so pleasant. Great experience!

Great house, amazing backyard, perfect to relax and hang out.

The house was good if not better than the pictures. Multiple beds and 2 kitchens. The backyard has everything you could want with an outdoor bar, fishing equipment, and kayaks. Hot tub was there but was not working. The location is good not great. Close enough to many thing things but not a lot within 10-15 minutes so will need to drive for anything outside of the house. That would not keep me away from renting this house again because the other aspects made it worth it.

No working hot tub

One of the main reasons for staying here was a private hot tub. It was being repaired when we got there and took until the next day to be heated and after turning on, it immediately started leaking and shut down. Still not repaired as of check out time. We would appreciate an adjustment made to the cost of rental.
