About this property

Up, Up & Away - Lake Michigan Beach Getaway!

Escape to our enchanting 1950s beach bungalow - "Up, Up & Away." Its name derives from the feeling you have while sitting atop of the dune - yet so close to the cool, blue water and warm sands of Lake Michigan. This meticulously updated home provides a perfect blend of vintage allure and modern comfort. Step inside to discover original hardwood floors, a newly tiled kitchen, and four cozy bedrooms offering a haven after your beach adventures.
The elevated deck boasts panoramic views of Lake Michigan, while front and back grass yards provide space for relaxation and entertainment while you grill. Unwind by the fire pit, perfect for family marshmallows and storytelling. The house features all new decor, central air, new electrical and insulation, ensuring a safe, snug retreat year-round.
There are small bedrooms in the cute original upstairs and an additional bedroom with bunk beds on the main floor. The ceilings on the main floor are tall with original wooden beams and the upstairs ceilings are lower - a nod to the original function of this beach bungalow and simpler times. Each floor has a full bathroom and is very comfortable for you and your guests, and we will even provide a "Maui mat" and beach chairs for your days down at the beach.
A built-in breakfast nook off the kitchen and a four-season porch with floor-to-ceiling windows create inviting spaces to sip your morning coffee or tea while getting lost in the view of the lake or play cards into the night!. Just a short <5min stroll downhill takes you to the sandy shores of Lake Michigan. With parking for two cars and unlimited street parking on Lakeshore Drive, this beach getaway promises a timeless retreat for your next vacation. Book now and embrace the charm of lakeside living!
It's up to you, either at the beach, or on the back deck - NEVER MISS A SUNSET while on vacation at Up, Up & Away!

A Wonderful Find in Michigan City

We are just back from a fantastic stay at Kelly and Dustin's property in Michigan City. The hosts have tastefully updated this bungalow to combine the quaintness and details of an older lake home with a fresh contemporary style and features. The home offers plenty of space for for an extended family or a small group of friends--with four full bedrooms, a family-sized kitchen and abundant common areas including a large living area, a dining room and an stunning enclosed porch area. The stand-out feature is the deck, offering a sweeping view of the lake form its perch on the dune. We loved lounging on the deck, gazing at boats on the lake, the distant Chicago skyline and even the majesty of a passing thunderstorm. While we opted to try a couple of the many local restaurants, our favorite meals were cooked on the grill in front of this home and enjoyed on the back deck. Kelly and Dustin are great hosts, responding almost instantly to our couple questions. Overall, our experience might be summarized by my sister-in-law's comment "Wow, you found a real gem here!" We can't wait to return!
