Quick winter visit

The place is incredible, stayed in January when it snowed but the cottage is well insulated and heater works flawlessly. Super clean, colorful and we can only imagine how awesome it would be in the summer. Great communication, great accommodating host.

Very cute house!

It is small but very cozy, and the screened in porch really helps add to the size. The kids loved the loft area and that really helped add to the sleeping arrangement as well. I would stay there again.

Super cute cottage

Super cute cottage! Small, but they have used the space well. Walking distance to a beautiful beach that is pretty much private. Owner is very communicative and cottage was very clean.

Great house and great location

House was perfect for four of us for 4 nights. House was located close to Indiana Dunes State and National Parks. Online description was very accurate and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent!

Adorable place

This place was so cute and clean. Lots of lively extra little touches, like a coffee and tea station and pretty much everything you’d expect if you were in your own home. I even found scissors so I could hang birthday decorations. Although the host beat me to it by leaving my kiddo some birthday supplies, treats and even a card! Excellent communication from the host as well.

Cute and Cozy

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute and cozy cottage. Robin, the owner, is easy to communicate with and provides a lot of helpful information not just on the property but also the surrounding area. The large screened in porch and lovely garden area gives this property several spots for a group of 6 to spread out so we never felt cramped. It is close to the National Park and Chicago and is also walkable to the beach. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Great space and location

We were attending a wedding at the Aquatorium and the cottage was convenient for all the festivities. Check in was super easy! Great location - the beach is an easy walk (especially with the wagon available at the cottage). Cottage is cozy but well appointed- so nice to have everything for the beach provided! We were sad we were to busy to really enjoy the outdoor spaces but my youngest loved the loft! Thanks for a great stay!

Cozy

Great little place tucked away in a gully. Very vibrant colors. Everything you need for your trip to the beach or to hang out and have a campfire. The beach is a 10 minute walk away. And 15 minutes to Indiana dunes. Great little gem

Family trip

This was one of the cutest places I have ever stayed!!! So much was provided that you normally never get anywhere else you go!!! Items provided ranged from beach toys such as boogie board and paddle board and more beach stuff to shampoo and conditioner and all the way down to have seasonings to cook with!!! We absolutely loved it and will book again in the future!! Thank you so much for everything you supplied!!

Fabulous Springtime Cottage

We booked this cottage for the quirky colors and the loft space we knew our kids would love sleeping in (which they did, of course). What came as a pleasant surprise was the kitchen, equipped with everything you would ever need and more. We brought in two days worth of meals and were absolutely able to make good use of what we brought. We also loved the hammock, the fire pit, the completely charming front yard, and the on site washer and dryer. A great experience and a great location!

Fun Beach and Hiking Getaway

Our fam of five 6, 8 and 12 year olds LOVED our quiet little getaway. We knew the water would be a bit chilly on Lake Michigan but boy was it beautiful...and only a few blocks away! Our kiddos slept in loft. We made every meal there, hiked some trails, played some of the games there and some we brought. There were plenty towels, bath and beach as well as kitchen accessories. It was a perfect getaway before our busy theatre rehearsals and sports camps begin! We definitely hope to come back!

Weekend Getaway

We stayed at Hummingbird Cottage for a long weekend family getaway. It’s so cute and cozy! Nearly everything you could need was at the cottage. The beach was a short 3 block walk and not crowded at all. We visited some local restaurants the first day and then made the short drive to New Buffalo, Michigan for dinner on day two and Michigan City on day three. The cottage is super close to the Dunes National park and a short drive to the Dunes State park. The cottage accommodated our family of 4 (2 adults and two teens) well. I would warn that if you have very tall guests with you, some of the sleeping arrangements could be challenging. We had a great time and would happily return!

Want to come back again

Very clean, fun, festive place to stay. Plenty of beds for our family of seven. And more space than expected for us all to spread out and do our own thing if we wanted to. Extremely impressed with the communication and accomodations made for us while staying from the Host, Robin. Thank you so much for everything. It was a great weekend away. Kids had a great time at the cottage as well as at the beach which is so close you can hear the waves from the screened in porch which was awesome!!

The hummingbird cottage exudes happiness

This little cottage far exceeded my expectations. The outdoor space was a tucked away oasis. The decor in every room was designed to make one feel happy—the colors and use of space astounded me. We played games that the owner supplied. We enjoyed the screened porch, really everything. There was everything we could have needed. The owner was so friendly and excellent with communication. Loved this place!! Loved the easy access to the beach.

Dunes get away

Me and the boys had a great time staying at the Hummingbird. It was very close to the beach and had lots of room to run and play. The description of the property was spot on. The decorations were awesome and the amenities great. If we are in the area again, we will choose this location again!

The best 2 day vacation!

I dont know where to begin with this properity. The hidden back in woods look, the beach (literally down the road) looking at chocago lit up while laying on the beach while the kods fish, or the cute little kitchen with a bar look with cute little stools to have a perfect grill night and fire while kods play large padio tic tac toe. I couldnt find one thing bad about the hummingbird cottage. I felt at home. And so did my family. Owner was very responsive when asked a question, and very friendly! Was a perfect stay. 👌
