About this property
Kid-friendly Michiana cottage! Summer dates open - including 4th of July!
Plan your stay at our new home, a great 3 bedroom, 2-bath cottage in Michiana. Set in a secluded area between New Buffalo and Michigan City, this house is close to all the region has to offer including restaurants, beaches, Indiana Dunes National Park, beer and wine tasting, and lots of kid-friendly activities. Home is clean and modern (constructed in 2022), is still comfortable and kid friendly.
This cottage has an open layout with all bedrooms and baths on one-level. The Master Bedroom is en-suite with a King Bed and walk-in shower, and opens into a large screened porch. The other two bedrooms have Queen Beds and share a bathroom with a bathtub/shower combo. Kitchen, Dining, and Living Room are all open concept, with lots of seating options. There is also a back patio with grill and fire pit, as well as open yard space, so plenty of options to enjoy the outdoors!
The cottage is about 1 from Lake Michigan, which is great for a nice stroll through the wooded area, often spotting deer and other animals. There is beach access available about 1 mile walking (10-15 mins walk), and we provide beach gear and a wagon to help haul any gear. We are also walking distance to two parks that offer playgrounds and tennis/pickleball courts. The cottage is about equal distance between Michigan City and New Buffalo, but on the Indiana side of the state line (central time zone).
If you are planning a multi-family trip, this house is next door to Property #2087945 which is a very similar new cottage so great for two families to be together but still have a bit of privacy!

About the host
Hosted by Mandy
I'm Mandy, and together with my husband Goran, we are very excited to have a beach house in Michigan City. I grew up in Michigan City, and my family runs a building company in the area, so there is a lot of love and family effort that went into every stage of building this home. We are parents to twin girls, who are three years old. We stay at this house when we visit, and can confirm that it is a great space for families!
Why they chose this property
This property offers a great convenient location - an easy drive to attractions in both Michigan City and New Buffalo. The house is brand new, and has a serene interior. And we love the retreat feel of being in a wooded neighborhood where you can go on nice walks, by the beach or through the forest.
What makes this property unique
Brand new construction - everything is modern and up to date!
