About this property

Unique 4br cottage getaway with private, wooded yard

Come stay in our restful vacation cottage in a quiet, forested neighborhood, ¾ of a mile from Lake Michigan beaches. This tranquil getaway is just an hour drive from downtown Chicago and has parking in front for up to 5 vehicles.

The home sleeps a total of 8 people, and your kids and good dogs are welcome here! There are 2 queen bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms. The bedrooms have built-in shelves and closets for your belongings. The living room has a lovely sofa that pulls out into a queen bed.

Sliding glass doors off the kitchen lead into a beautiful sun room enclosed by floor to ceiling windows, featuring an ultra-comfy full-size pull-out futon and its own entrance heading out to the patio. There is fabulous natural light, with windows and skylights throughout the house.

Entering the home, there is a large great room with a stone fireplace and vaulted pine ceilings, with 2 spacious seating areas, including a 65” Smart TV + high-speed internet throughout the property.

The home features an inviting open concept kitchen and dining table to seat 6. We offer coffee and teas, and include basics for cooking such as salt, pepper, spices, and oil.
You are free to use the washer/dryer during your stay; detergent and bleach are provided.

The yard includes a limestone patio, a built-in fire pit, lots of Adirondack chairs for lounging, and a large outdoor dining table that seats 10. There is a gas grill + utensils for your summer cookouts.

Guests are welcome to use a variety of lawn games and beach chairs. The nearest public beach access is at the end of Michiana Drive at Stop 37, or at Stop 38, which is at the end of Powhatan Trail, off of Michiana Drive.

We are thrilled to welcome you into our family home and want to make your stay as comfortable and fun as possible. Please reach out to Alannah and Nick with any questions at all.

Cottage in the woods
Lovely location, close to beach. The house is darling inside & out. We were very comfortable for 4 nights and our pup loved it too. Easy communication with Alannah & Nick.

Fun Weekend at the Lake
Very cute house. They've done a lot with a little space, to the point that it feels much bigger than it is. Open floor plan, lots of windows. Very comfortable!

Great girls trip
Very nice cottage and yard is beautiful. Perfectly slept 6 girlfriends on a getaway. Walk to beach is long but walkable, but if you have a golf cart that's the way to go! Loved the property and the owners were very helpful and friendly. Great getaway!

Lovely Cottage
The cottage is nestled in wooded area. It is quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The accommodations are new but quaint. We had a mother/daughter/niece weekend, and the cottage offered communal areas for sharing time but also allowed for privacy. Our two dogs loved the grassy area and fire pit near the outdoor furniture. We had a lovely weekend, and the cottage definitely was one of the highlights for our trip.
