Just Steps to the Sands of Lake Michigan! Sleeps 18

Life is Breezy at the Big Easy! Your dream Lake Michigan getaway is here on Louisiana Ave! Guests enjoy complete self check-in with keypad on the front door!

Just Steps to the Sands of Lake Michigan! This large beautiful cottage has the vintage charm of a lake house with updates to make your stay more comfortable. What makes this house stand out? It has an incredible open living-dining area that allows ALL guests to gather all in the same space! It also has another TV/play area in the basement when you want some time away from the kids.

Sleeps 18 total in beds. Perfect for multiple families. 2 Master Suites! Upstairs master has a king bed, en suite bathroom, private screened deck, and is secluded from other upstairs rooms. 1st floor master has a king bed and its own private bathroom. 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms total. One of the bathrooms has a tub. Checkout the diagrams in the picture section to see how the house is laid out. Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates, etc. Full size foldable crib is available. Lake Michigan views from 2nd floor! Basement with a queen bed, 2 twin beds, bathroom and an extra entry from outside to brush all the sand off in the mudroom. Enjoy the back deck under the shade trees while grilling out on the large gas grill. Whole house WiFi system with Roku’s on all TV’s. Parking for 4 - 5 cars (depending on size). Additional public parking around neighborhood (if available).

Walk to Washington Park Zoo, Splash Pad, and Playground. Watch the glorious sunsets while enjoying entertainment at Sunset Grill and walk the catwalk to the Michigan City Lighthouse.

Interested in exploring beyond? Centrally located to SO many attractions! Take a hike along Mt Baldy, visit Central Beach and America's newest National Park, Indiana Dunes. Only 15 minutes to New Buffalo and Harbor Country. Visit Warren Dunes or take a family friendly day trip to St Joe, Michigan. Be sure to take a picture of the Michigan City Lighthouses twin at Tiscornia Park! Wine country is less than 45 minutes away in Baroda (Tabor Hill and Round Barn to name a couple), but Michigan City also features Shady Creek Winery and multiple breweries!
