About this property

The Gingerbread Flat in downtown Michigan City

Welcome to The Gingerbread Flat — a charming, first-floor retreat that looks like it belongs in a storybook and lives like a modern getaway. Set within a beautifully restored gingerbread-style home, this bright and stylish first-floor unitblends historic character with contemporary comfort.
Guests enter through a shared main entryway, then enjoy the privacy of their own dedicated unit entrance, offering the best of both worlds—classic charm with a private, comfortable stay.
Inside, the space opens into a sun-filled living area featuring clean lines, warm wood tones, and thoughtfully curated furnishings. The open-concept layout flows effortlessly from the cozy living room to the dining space and into the modern kitchen, making it easy to relax, cook, and spend time together.
The fully updated kitchen features sleek cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious island with seating—perfect for morning coffee before exploring downtown or unwinding after dinner nearby.

The primary bedroom includes a Queen bed, a private ensuite bath, and a walk-in closet. The additional bedrooms each feature a queen bed, making them equally inviting for guests, family, or friends.
Both bathrooms have been completely refreshed with modern finishes, spa-inspired showers, and clean, contemporary design.
