Fabulous house
We affectionately refer to this property as the Christmas house! The antique sleigh is a big hit with our grandchildren. We have stayed here multiple times and it’s always our first choice when we’re in the area. The house is very spacious, clean and homey. We have a large family and have plenty of room to spread out. The hosts are absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend!

Like going to stay at Grandma’s house
Rented this home to stay over the weekend while in town for my daughter’s wedding. Lovely home with a lot of space! Home was clean and had many amenities. Home is older so the floors squeak a lot in multiple places. Does have a large deck with a built in bar B que. There is a pool but was drained/tarped. Was told it is not used due to liability issues. Driveway has space for two cars comfortably. Home is close to town, Lake Michigan, and Indiana Dunes.

Great stay!! Group of 7!
We had a wonderful stay - beds are comfortable, house is furnished and appointed well. The home has great character, right down to the one-of-a-kind furnishings. Home was clean, spacious and the kitchen was stocked with essentials - far better than most rentals. We would definitely stay at Robert's home again on duture trips.

Great location for a group!
This home was well equipped and stocked for our group of 5 and could easily have accommodated many more! The layout also allowed us to enjoy movie nights together and then have privacy in our own spaces. Great location- we were 10 minutes from West Beach, and grocery stores were 4-6 minutes away.

The property was clean, spacious, and in a great area central to many attractions including the Dunes! Neighborhood felt extremely safe! There was 8 of us total (4 kids, 4 adults) and we never felt cramped. Robert was wonderful to work with. Would stay here again!

Fun and fine property
A lovely and fun property for a college reunion of a few of us. Well cared for with many guest amenities (eg well stocked kitchen, plenty of hangers etc.). Attentive and responsive host. Our only regret, we discovered the foosball game in the basement too late into our stay!

May be our new week-end getaway
This place is exactly as described. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, coffee, and necessary tools to prepare meals. We appreciated that we could brew a pot of coffee for morning and then use the same device for a single cup in the evening (K-cup). The place was clean and the house was plenty large enough for families. There were only 4 of us but could have accommodated many more. The large bathroom with jacuzzi tub was a plus. There were plenty of bath towels and washcloths. The host was communicative and helpful. There was no requirement for last minute photos, extra paperwork, or rules. Check in and out was simple. There are nearby places to eat and purchase any necessary items. We really enjoyed our stay.
