Great house in a nice quit location.

My family enjoyed our stay here. The house was well stocked and conveniently located to the beach with a small walking distance. The owner was very responsive as well as accommodating when I had a slight issue with our stay. Thank you!

Home away from home

My family (4ppl) and I felt like we we're at home. It is exactly as advertised, very clean, cozy, had everything we needed, centrally located to all the wineries and beach areas. Very smooth check-in, and Alex was very responsive. I wish I would've stayed longer but I will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Alex Berce

Alex is from Wisconsin and Kristin is from LaPorte, IN just a few miles down the road from the property. We fell in love with the area after visiting with our 2 young children and decided to buy a vacation home so we could come back and enjoy it more often!

Why they chose this property

We love the tranquility of Michiana Shores. It is wooded and private and close to the beach. We also enjoy going to New Buffalo and Indiana Dunes National Park. There are great restaurants in the area and the wineries and breweries are a fun way to enjoy the local culture.

What makes this property unique

The property has tons of stone masonry and a stamped concrete wraparound porch. We see deer and other animals virtually every day. The property doesn't have any immediate neighbors on either side as we own a lot on each side of the house. It's only an hour from Chicago but you truly feel like you're on vacation. It doesn't feel like just another house with its unique layout and features.
