Magnificent stay

The property was perfectly described, great location, the beds were the most comfortable rental weve stayed in. The house had everything we needed besides the food we prepared. Kitchen was fully stocked and plenty of space to spread out or gather at the table for the kids, and the tweens. Would love to stay again.

5-Star experience! The loft was perfect for stashing all the kids while the adults enjoyed the bedrooms on the 2nd story. The kitchen was well-stocked and suited our cooking plans. The path to the lake was right in front of the home and was an easy walk to lake. We had plenty of towels, bathroom toiletries, beach chairs, etc…everything one needs for a week at the lake!

Awesome house and location

The house is awesome. So clean. So well stocked with everything ! If you forgot to pack something don’t worry they probably have it there. We had 9 adults and 2 children and there so so much room! Beds are comfortable. We have stayed in the area 4 times now and this was by far the best house! Thank you so much!

Awesome annual beach trip

Second time staying at the Mollie’s Cottage. Our group had a fantastic time. Love this spacious and comfortable home. Quiet corner of Sheridan Beach - flowers and relaxing sound of the surf create a peaceful and festive oasis. Location is perfect, just steps to the beach. We look forward to our next visit!

I rented this lovely home for a reunion with my cousins. There were 9 of us all together. The house was perfect for us! The kitchen was well-stocked and had everything we needed.The main room and dining room, right off the kitchen, were pretty and so comfortable. It was a rainy weekend but the gas fireplace made the room so cozy. We also enjoyed sitting on the 2nd foor covered porch; it's another cozy spot! The beds are very comfortable. There was so much room for all of us. Despite the weather, we made the short walk through the dunes to the beach. Beautiful!We're all looking forward to returning next year.

Great house

Plenty of room in this place! Beds were very comfortable and everything was well stocked, lots of paper products and even a good selection of spices. The only negative I can say is the living area furniture wasn’t comfortable.

Long weekend at the beach/National Park

This house was perfect for myself, my siblings and our spouses and my toddler niece. It was perfectly located with an incredibly short and convenient walk to the beach (which surprised us all at how beautiful it was)! Very close to many National Park locations. The house itself was gorgeous and well maintained. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and the screened in porches were lovely for spending evenings outdoors. The hosts were very communicative. We all had a great time and would love to come back to Michigan City!

Great Stay!

Jim and Nell provide a great home for a lake getaway! We stayed at their home for a bachelorette party with 9 girls and everyone had plenty of space to get ready and sleep. The beach chairs that were provided were a huge plus. Walking access to a beautiful, clean beach. If you told me we were in Florida I would have believed you! Plenty to do in the nearby area with outlet mall, casino, and wineries around.

The property is located right across from the beach. There is a lot of rooms to accommodate a large group. The kitchen and bathrooms have all the tools you need. The only downside is if you have a problem negotiating stairs. There are a lot of them!

What an amazing, immaculate beach house! Our group does this every year and all agreed this was the best house we ever rented! Kitchen was perfect and had everything we needed. Furniture super comfy/cozy, decorated beautifully (love the colors and orig art) -also loved the remote controlled fireplace! There are a number of common areas for lots of relaxing! Every bedroom was more darling than the next, beds very comfy, and bathrooms were clean, nice and all updated. This place had everything we needed: beach walks, outlet mall, and lotsa wineglasses. Great accommodations. We’ll be back for sure!

Summer family vacatiom

We really enjoyed our stay in Michigan City. Our family of 10 was quite happy in this quaint home. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and this one was by far, the most well equipped and comfortable home we have stayed in. Close and easy access to the beach and an outdoor shower (our grandsons loved it) were much appreciated. The yard is small, but lots of outdoor areas including a deck, screened porch and a balcony. The beach is beautiful and we were happy that there were beach chairs to use. The hosts were very quick to respond to any messages. Absolutely recommend this rental.

Perfect beach getaway

Everything was perfect! We had a fantastic celebration weekend. We were a group of 10 adults. The house had everything we needed and more. It is spacious and clean, kitchen was fully stocked, beds were comfy, linens were high quality, and plenty of space to be all together or spread out when wanted. The large dining table fit all of us and was perfect for festive meals. The second-floor enclosed porch was my favorite spot to hang out. Peaceful neighborhood with quick access to the beach. Sunsets were breathtaking and we saw the Chicago skyline! We plan to make it an annual getaway!

Summer Vacation Family Getaway

Our family really enjoyed this peaceful and lovely beach retreat. The character and charm of this old home offered our group of seven plenty of space to gather, play games (lots of good ones provided by the hosts) and relax. The second floor screened porch off the master bedroom was perfect for coffee (bring your own), reading and hanging out! Lots of our time was spent on the white sand Lake Michigan beach which was right down the path across the street from the house; the beach chairs waiting for us on the side of the house were appreciated by all. Sunsets were gorgeous! Lots to explore in the Michigan City area for all ages. We look forward to coming back in the future!
