Red Zen | HotTub-all yr | Firepit | Grill | DogsOK

Your oasis for beachy fun and relaxation is just a road-trip away. You'll love unwinding in the 8-person hot tub, grilling and dining on the deck, and gathering your group around the firepit in the private backyard. Roast marshmallows with the Smores Bar included. Enjoy the convenience of a walk or short drive to Michigan City restaurants, coffeeshops, wineries, pubs, casino, and shopping at the local outlet mall. Best of all, the beach is about a mile away. The ideally located retreat provides the perfect getaway with friends or family. You'll welcome thoughtful touches, responsive hosts, and the relaxed, mellow, vibe.

The Space:

The essence of Red Zen Retreat is embodied in the warmly welcoming brick façade. The slogan – "Leave Your Worries Behind" – on the wall of the cheery glassed-in front-porch/sunroom captures the Zen ambiance of this charming getaway; here, you can truly escape in a quiet, friendly neighborhood and have a blast with your group. You'll feel right at home and enjoy a vibe that marries vintage coziness (wood trim and floors!) with updated convenience.

Enter through the front door – with its inviting wreath – and find a convenient desk for any work-from-home needs in the foyer. Chill out on the spacious, light-drenched living room's super-comfy furniture. Relax and enjoy your own streaming subscriptions on the 55" Fire TV. You'll also find extra sleeping space here in the form of a queen-size blow-up mattress.

You'll love the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen with convenient coffee station. The best cooks value a gas stove, and that's what you'll find here. Be sure to grab your morning coffee or tea and sip it on the front porch.

Dine in style in the dining room, where the sideboard is perfect for setting up buffet meals. Both kitchen and dining room are flooded with cheerful light.

At bedtime, head upstairs and choose from four bedrooms for your quiet and comfortable night's sleep. You'll find two bedrooms with luxurious queen beds. A third bedroom offers two full-size beds, while the fourth provides twin-size bunkbeds. All bedrooms offer storage options.

Refresh yourself in the upstairs bathroom with its unique tile and bathtub-shower combo.

Guests love the convenience of the basement laundry area, with washer, dryer, ironing board, and laundry supplies.

Outdoors, luxuriate in the hot tub in the secluded fenced yard and reflect on your day as you chill out on colorful Adirondack chairs around the firepit.

You'll appreciate your hosts' reputation for solid communication and rapid responses when contacted.

Family vacation
The property is in a historical district so there are a lot of restoration in the area. All the homes very very big and spacious. The property had a lot of charm but i don't think i would have went with light color furniture in the family room. Other than that is had appeal. We would stay there again. Thanks Jason

I expect same cleanliness I would at home. Very STRANGE smell in powder room. Floors were not clean, couch was filthy. Did not feel safe in that area. We left after an hour and drove 5 hours back home. I will never use vrbo again.

Enjoyed the location of this rental. Easy walking distance to downtown if one wanted to hit a restaurant or a drink. Driving distance to the beach or other sites were equally easy to travel to. Glad we chose the location

A great time near Lake Michigan
We traveled from Columbus, Oh to visit Indiana Dunes and Lake Michigan. The house is conveniently located and is within walking distance to Lake Michigan, restaurants and more. The house is also clean and nicely decorated.

Just like the photos!
This is a beautifully updated older home in the historic district of Michigan City just a short walk away from downtown shopping. We had a memorable stay here with our kids and grandkids and would stay again! It is spacious, clean and well equipped. Only a short drive to Washington Park Beach and the Zoo. We loved the hot tub, the fire pit and especially the extra long picnic table for seating us all together for some lovely summer meals. Thank you Jason and Jamie!

I chose to rent this property for a fun Girls Weekend.
Without having to go into so many details, just know this was a great property. From the layout of the house to the comfort of the beds. We had everything we needed. Although I do wish the checkout time we're later than 10am, I give this 10/10

Great Weekend Stay
Spent 2 nights at the property with a group of friends and had a wonderful experience. House is clean with ample room for sleeping and lounging. Kitchen was stocked with plenty of cups, plates, silverware etc. The hot tub was enjoyed in the nice, private back yard. Very close to many restaurants, bars and the casino. Would stay again and would recommend to anyone looking to visit Michigan City or the surrounding area.
