This is a very beautiful cabin, just as the pictures show. The beds are comfortable, there are all kinds of games and books, and there is even a pool table and a ping-pong table. Perhaps best of all is that it’s located just a short two minute walk from the rails to trail walking trail, and it is a 10 or 15 minute drive to the Dunes. The host also did a great job of communicating and answering any questions we had.

Family get away to the dunes

The house was beautiful and well furnished. The grandkids loved the ping pong table, games and TV's. The outdoor gas firepit was great to sit by and talk after the kids went to bed.

Log cabin home in a peaceful setting

We loved our stay in this log cabin home. The house had a great open and airy feel. Large windows brought in so much natural light and exposed all the greenery outside. Everything was neat and clean. The owner was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be renting this space again if we are back in the area.

We had three generations of family and everyone enjoyed the spaces available. Each bedroom has a full bath which was great. The game systems provided were great. The game room in loft was fun. We drove to the Indiana Dunes National Park every day and enjoyed grilling out on the back deck each evening. Kitchen provided all the items needed to prepare and serve a nice meal. The cabin seems secluded even though it is located near main roads for easy travel. Thanks for providing this wonderful place for our family getaway.

Lake Michigan Trip

The cabin was great for the whole family and there was enough space for everyone to have their own space if needed. The only problem we had was after we used the key pad once it would not let us use a second time. This was even after it was reset. Thanks Mark

Stunning, clean, easy getaway!

My friends and I were blown away by the stunning cabin. The property is tucked away and super private, surrounded by trees (including a huge, beautiful willow tree). Perfect scenery to enjoy and take photos! The inside was perfect for a group of friends or a family. Kitchen had all the necessities to prepare a meal, and the beds were shockingly comfortable and high quality (everyone raved about what an amazing night sleep they got). Plenty of bathrooms is a huge plus for a girls trip as well! Especially loved the soap dispensers in the bathroom. There are great decks and patios to eat or relax around, and easy to use TV inside. We were able to get Ubers to Kemil beach and local restaurants easily. Huge plus was a Meijer ten minutes away. This place was not missing a single thing! Owner was also super responsive. Overall we loved Portage and we LOVED this vrbo!

This cabin was really nice, however we did have a few issues! There wasn’t any dish rags

The cabin was really really nice however there wasn’t any dish rags, I had to buy more and also purchase some dish washing liquid. There wasn’t enough wash clothes or towels. My family and I had a really great time but it was a huge inconvenience that there wasn’t any hot water the water was literally hot for 5 minutes then immediately turned cold. Speaking with the host was very responsive she did send someone out to try and resolve the issue. The problem was not solved and she offered to give me a 75$ credit which I’ve never received, I feel this credit should of been more because not being able to shower is a huge inconvenience. Other than that I can honestly say our trip for the holidays was great.

We enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin while exploring the Indiana Dunes. Great location, comfy beds, and we loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. We traveled with another family with kids and the pool table was a big hit. We explored during the day and came home and grilled on the patio and hung out every evening and it was perfect. We even took the South Shore Line for a day trip to Chicago and it was very easy to do. Host was helpful and communicative throughout!

Nice Property, owner could be better

Stayed here with a group of friends for the weekend and had a blast! The property is nice and so is the house. The only improvements would come from the management itself. The house was really bare, like no extra blankets or towels anywhere. There’s a washer and dryer, but it’s kind of silly to have to do one load just after everyone showers because no clean towels are left. The kitchen was also a little sparse. I wasn’t expecting a five-star resort, but even a small container of pepper would have been nice! The house was as clean as possible for a cabin, a few bugs here or there but nothing that wasn’t expected. When the listing said it slept seven, I assumed there’d be more beds, not just three big beds and one single bunk! Communication with the owner was also a little difficult. I had to request the access code instructions from them and all my other messages were never answered. Overall, the house was great but management could use some improvment!

Great cabin with big private yard

This was a very nice property and we really enjoyed our stay. We rented this house for a short weekend while attending a local music festival. The house was well appointed and clean when we arrived. Even though neighbors weren't terribly far away the house seemed very private and there was a ton of yard space. The host was very accommodating and prompt with communication. The check in and check out process were simple and smooth. I'd recommend renting if you are looking for something in the area.

A Warm Gathering Place

Our family enjoyed this cabin on a property surrounded by trees and lots of green grass, that we could see nicely through the large tall windows. We enjoyed playing soft ball in the back yard and card games on the comfortable couch and chairs. This home was very clean with soft mattresses and warm cozy quilts. It is located near beaches, hiking trails and good food.
