wonderful house!
This house was wonderful for our family group of 12. The 7 bedrooms meant that everyone could spread out. The table in the dining area is beautiful and can easily accommodate a large group. The neighborhood is quiet and people (like the postal carrier) are very friendly. The house was very clean! We would definitely stay here again.

Great house setup for college friends weekend
We stayed at the house for a long weekend over the July 4th holiday. The house's bedrooms setup worked great for our group made up of 3 families for a total of 11 people (6 adults, 5 teenagers). We had plenty of space for everyone with bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, good living area seating, and a large dining table. Neighborhood was fine and we walked one night to an ice cream shop about a half mile toward the lake. With the holiday weekend, many fireworks were being used until 2 am within the neighborhood. It kept some group members awake until they ended. Overall a great house to spend the weekend and enjoy the surrounding area's offerings like the Indiana Dunes.

Great experience!
We loved our stay in Michigan City. The house was a great size for our family of 10 adults & 7 kids! The extra stand up freezer/refrigerator was awesome! Hot tub & gas grill worked great! So thankful for a washer/dryer and liquid soap provided that the machine needed. Surrounding beaches and an outlet mall--need I say more?!

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!

Comfy beds
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.
