Sisters weekend
The house was nicely updated and accommodating for our large family gathering. We were disappointed however that there were few points of interest within walking distance. One neighbor allowed his dog to bark constantly all night. There was also a problem with ants in one bedroom.

Family Christmas/Easter
Our family of 10 gathered here for a late Christmas/Easter celebration. The house had more than enough room for us to be comfortable. Kitchen and bathrooms well stocked, beds are comfortable, games, and the backyard is a nice area. Host answered our question quickly. Enough off street parking for four vehicles. Lots of things to do in the area for all ages. Quiet residential neighborhood.

Family Thanksgiving
Stayed here for a short Thanksgiving break with family, celebrating the holiday and our mom’s 75th birthday. Nice to have a couple bedrooms on the first floor, as we had a couple in the group who have trouble with stairs. Everything was super clean. Hot tub was nice. More than enough beds for our group of 15, but could have used a little more seating in the living room and more bath towels. Karen was very accessible by phone. Outlet mall is about 6blocks away. Overall a great place to stay!

Overall the house was great! We were there with 5 families that are all friend. There was a great bunk room for all the kids and all the couples had their own bedrooms. Good number of bathrooms to share. Beds were comfortable. Location was close to Lighthouse outlets and to the beach. Backyard had a great cover to help with shade. Hot tub was a nice bonus. Great large table to eat and play games. Plus a washer and dryer. This all provided for a great getaway.

The property was as described in the listing. We vacation with another family & this is the first house we have stayed at that had plenty of beds (not sofa beds or futons) to sleep our group comfortably & enough bathrooms. The house was well laid out. Host was very responsive with communication. We will definitely return the next time we are in Michigan City.

Beautiful home!
This home was perfect for our family of 18, bedrooms were nice, plenty of bathrooms and downstairs is open for all to gather. The only thing I would suggest is having more towels, kitchenware and cookware. When you have a house that big we really need enough for everyone. Also suggest full length mirrors and hooks to hang this on, this would have been very helpful. We loved coffee on the porch and yes the neighborhood is a little rough but we had absolutely no issues at all, I think some people just need to get out more and experience life outside their small towns. Lots of reviews knocked the location , but it is just fine. Can’t wait to go back!

Michigan City Getaway
We spent our first family vacation here and the house was great! We had plenty of room for 10 adults, 6 kids and a baby. We loved the huge dining room table and the hot tub. It’s a nice central location so we were able to check out New Buffalo, Michigan and Indiana Dunes as well. The only negative was the neighborhood. It was pretty loud at night and the construction made getting around really difficult. The end of our one-way street was closed off and it took us awhile to figure out we had to take a very tiny alley to get out. Be aware there’s a train that runs constantly so that was also noisy and a challenge with driving. But the house itself was great and I would recommend it!

Nice Stay!
We had a family of four generations (19 people ages 5 mos to 88 yrs) stay at the house. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms were perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable and baths spacious. The large dining table was a huge plus to gather for meals. We enjoyed the backyard picnic table, grill and hot tub. Short drive to the beach, outlet mall and Meijer. Karen is quick to respond to any questions or concerns during the entire rental process. This is a wonderful home!
