Amazing Property & Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group had an amazing time while visiting Michigan City. It was such a relief to be able to have our dogs with us as well. You cannot beat the location of this property. We were able to walk to Dune Billies for breakfast in 2 about minutes, there's also a park across the street. It's an 8-10 minute walk to the beach. The house is in great condition and was well stocked with everything needed for our stay. I would absolutely rent this property again in the future. Thank you Millie's Retreat for a great and much needed extended weekend.

Quaint Retreat

Very cute and comfy house! Had everything we could want/need available in the home. Close to pretty much anything and everything. Very quiet area aside from the train- We love the train sounds so not a concern for us. Several local restaurants and a cafe are within walking distance. The yard is large and the deck is wonderful to relax on.
