About this property

Less than 10 minutes from Indiana Dunes National Park and Lake Michigan, our beautiful log cabin sits on 2 acres while still being in the heart of Portage! Our large front deck overlooks state land giving a beautiful, private view out of our large windows.

Our cozy cabin has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms with fun, thoughtful touches for your family including video game consoles, movies, books, a LOT of games, a pool/ping pong table, 2 fire pits, and more!

Our cabin is the perfect getaway for you and your family. The space includes many games (including ping pong and pool!) in a cozy, log home. Sit in our front seating area and enjoy our faux wood burning stove while looking out into nature or have a blast playing one of our many games in the upstairs loft! Whatever you are interested in, you'll enjoy yourself here.

Outside, you will be able to enjoy either a propane fire pit in the front or a wood burning fire pit in back! And we have a feeling you will be spending a lot of time outside since we are so close to the Indiana Dunes National and State Parks which provide amazing hiking, along with Lake Michigan beaches.

Being in the heart of town, you are able to access many restaurants, grocery stores, and anything else you need. Being in this great location, there is a train that runs along the coast and through town that you will be able to hear when outside at times, but it will not disturb your sleep or time in our wonderful cabin!

It is also 1 hour from Notre Dame!

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!

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

About the host

Hosted by Jeannie Taylor

Hi, I am a native Hoosier, living in the suburbs of indianapolis. I am married and have a wonderful 10 year old daughter, one old mutt, and one cat, who thinks he’s a dog. I am Director of Admissions for an online college. I love the outdoors and traveling with my family.

Why they chose this property

Our family cabin that we'd love to share with the VRBO world. The views are to die for and make the cabin feel secluded even with it nestled near lots to do!
