Great space that easily accommodated our family of 16. Nice backyard deck in quiet wooded setting. Our kids loved exploring the woods behind the house. Nicely decorated space and well equipped kitchen. Walk to beach was manageable with small kids and wagons. Great memories created!

Walk to the beach on Lake Michigan
Home was clean and had everything you need for your stay. Well stocked kitchen, gas grill. Private back deck. Walk to the beach on Lake Michigan and had beach chairs that can be used. The only downfall is there really is no yard for the kids to play in. We spent a lot of time at the beach and had a wonderful family vacation.

Sweet & short weekend stay
Our families second visit to the area and we brought friends along with us this time! Perfect location for us- short trip to the amazing zoo, walked on the pier and the kids loved the beach (even though it was kinda cold& windy), and had an amazing lunch at Dunebillies. The back deck was great and we saw deer on the hill behind us every morning and evening.

Nice place that we would like to come back again.
Plenty of room for the 3 generations to gather for meals yet separate for different activities. Enjoyed the front and back patios. Close walk to the beach. Had a problem with a leak in the basement but it was fixed with a new water heater.

Great location
The property was easy to find. It was in close proximity to the beach, the zoo, a large park, and other places of interests. We had a good size group and there was ample space for everyone. Parking was limited but the neighborhood was quiet, and the people around the area were very accommodating it solved our parking issue. Todd was really quick to respond to our inquiries and request.

This is a great place for a larger family. We have twelve, including six adults and six younger ones from kindergarten to 17. Plenty of sleeping areas. We needed a porch light replacement for our late arrivers and Todd was right over to replace it! We had a wonderful weekend.

Perfect home for a family getaway...
We just returned from a four day visit to Michigan City...in this impeccable vacation house. When you walk through the front door it is as if you've entered a brand new home. The accommodations we top rate and the bedroom/bed arrangements worked so well with our needs. Nine of us (8 adults and a two year old) enjoyed every moment shared in this beautiful home and on the private back deck. We have more family visiting again in September and feel as though this is the best vp value in ALL of the Michigan City area!

Great place. So much room. Enjoyed time sitting on the back deck - even had a visit from a deer. Our trip was planned as a relaxing time, not a typical overbooked, always on the go vacation. We were able to use the very well stocked kitchen. The large dining table was great for meals, crafts, and games. And then we all had our own space when it was time to quit for the evening.

Appreciated Todd’s flexibility regarding check in time! Charming, clean home with outdoor spaces. Well stocked kitchen. Very close to the lake. Mattresses in a few areas super hard for sleeping. This may not be a negative for some, but hard on my back.

Family Vacation
The house worked perfectly for our 4 families. The kitchen was exceedingly well supplied. The proximity to the beach was great. We loved the deck and backyard especially the treehouse! The yard could use a little work there is a large limb hanging from a tree that should come down and the deck flowers and beach chairs had been neglected but we cleaned it up and enjoyed all of it. We’ve been staying in the area for 3 years now and we all felt this house served us the best. Thank you Todd!!

Perfect place to stay
I want to thank Todd and Joy for opening their home to us! It was a perfect location for an out of town wedding spot for our family and friends. The layout was perfect for different people coming and going throughout the week. We even hosted a rehearsal dinner there that was perfect with the outside deck and the kitchen setup. The three levels was great we never felt crowded or even had trouble with everyone getting ready the morning of the wedding. The short walk to the beach was perfect - many trips to the beach for walks without having people in our backyard. Would definitely stay there again and suggest to any family and friends as the perfect place - always felt safe even at night when walking.

Everything was great! We were in a great location for everything we wanted to check out in the area, although we were quite disappointed that the splash pad at the park seems to be shut down, and that was one of the area amenities listed that helped to make our decision. Maybe update the site? Other than that, everyone found something to enjoy! Thanks for having us!
