Beautiful view of the lake and easy beach access. Nice big space with plenty of beds and seating, and the carpet upstairs blocked a lot of noise so it was easy to sleep even with others walking around and talking downstairs. The fire pit area felt very private which was nice. Parking has room for 4-5 cars. Kitchen supplies were good as far as dishes/utensils for eating but kind of random for cooking, I'd recommend that guests BYO anything you need for feeding a crowd.

We had a wonderful time at this home that was cozy yet spacious enough for our large family! It has beautiful views and is an excellent location with a short walk to the gorgeous secluded shoreline. The host was super helpful and responsive. Though some upkeep and maintenance is needed because of the age of the home, it was reasonably priced and perfect for the beach getaway we were looking for! Might I add, the sunset views were priceless!

If your priority is location, this is a great choice! Short convent walk to the lake, less than 10 minutes. Views of the lake and sunset over the lake is very cool! Anyone with seniors in your group or anyone who struggles with stairs should avoid this home. Around thirty five steps from the parking area to the home. Both interior staircases are steep and winding. We had two minor falls by adults. Just know to be careful. The home is comfy with adequate room. It isn’t spotless. With mold in bathroom as others have documented. But easy to overlook as long as you aren’t too fussy. We had some minor concerns with landlord who “forgot” that we paid the pet fee and complained about dog hair on the floor. But, want to be fair about the great location, it might work well for you.

House has aged significantly since the pictures for the listing were taken. The deck is now worn, the hillside is overgrown, the balcony appears unsafe and general wear appears everywhere. The home had not been properly cleaned when we arrived and the upstairs bathroom has mold in the tub. The home itself sleeps several people, is close to the beach as well as town. With a few updates and improved cleaning it could be a great location. Based on current state I would not stay here again.

We had a great time here for a family get together with several young kids (0-4 yrs). We appreciated the number of rooms and beds, great price, easy walking access to the beach, and the kid toys, games, and beach stuff available from the hosts. It is an older house with some minor maintenance needed, but nothing that impacted our stay.

Decent property

We greatly enjoyed our time on this property. It’s steps away from beach access. There is plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our family. Great views of the Lake. Could use some updating and trimming of some trees for better views but over all decent for the price.

This place has a beautiful view over housetops of the lake. Lots of seating on two decks for the view. Plenty of parking.The house accommodated our group of 15, with spaces to eat, put together a puzzle, play board games and be in the same area. A short walk to the beach. The host answered our questions quickly before arrival. The place is older but clean. The kitchen was supplied with nice pans and basic dishes.

Great location

Plenty of sleeping space for our group of 10, and plenty of outdoor deck space for eating and viewing. We cook our own meals, and found the kitchen lacking in equipment, etc for this purpose: for example, the only measuring cup was a single half-cup. Nine forks only, though it sleeps 15.

Lake house in Michigan City

The check in process was very easy the host sent me the info I needed a couple of days ahead of the trip so that I knew what to expect. The property does have several steps to go up from the parking area to the home, Keep this in mind when you are packing. The house was beautiful and very clean. We enjoyed are stay and we were happy to find a property that allowed dogs. If you are planning a stay in Michigan City I recommend checking it out as long as the steps don't bother you.

1930's house

The house is 1930,s. Plenty of room for a large family. Six bedrooms were adequate! Negative- 30 steps to climb to access the house. Some repair and updating is needed.

Thanks for staying in our home! Yes, it is an older home (w/ a newly finished basement) and you have to climb stairs to get to it! I do my best to make sure guests understand that before booking. We take pride in making sure it is in excellent working order and nice and clean for all guests! Thanks again for staying in our home!

We loved the access to the lake and there was enough bedroom access to sleep 15. The kitchen was stocked for us as well. The mattresses were dated and don’t plan on using the crib there. It’s broken. Otherwise it had all the bedrooms you need and the air conditioning worked great when it got hot!

Nice place to stay.

The house was clean and nice for the age. It was perfect for our family to have a space we could all enjoy together. We had a crawling infant and the floors were swept but not mopped. 2 of the exterior doors to the house are hollow core doors and not secure, a safety issue. The main floor deck railing was falling down, a safety hazard. Also the deck stair was falling apart, another safety hazard.

The House, 1705

The house was clean and quite adequate for our 3 day stay. We met Mr. Marshall when we arrived (he was there with a crew working on furniture and some repairs). He was very pleasant, as was the crew. We like to cook for ourselves. The stove was not completely functional -- shelves do not fit, and the interior needs a good cleaning. The towel rack above the second floor bathroom toilet is pulling of the wall and could use some attention. Rick Ginther (for the Ginther Siblings)

MI City Beach

Nice location overall, but a few outdoor maintenance issues were a distraction. Top level deck looked like a family of raccoons had been living on it that left many piles of “debris” in multiple location. That combined with an unsecured hand railing left the deck unusable. Trash cans were completely full when we arrived. Base ment entry was full of leaves and sand that tracked into the house. It took several calls to finally get a few of the issues addressed before we left. Also, no working smoke alarms that we could find, although there were several disconnected ones sitting on a closet…

Great with a few comments

1- told to use outside basement door to access basement HOWEVER the entrance was full of old leaves, stuff, & active spiders. Banister on inside is needed 2- 2 showers in basement are advertised but there is only 1. 3- shower door in bathroom behind kitchen would not secure. Catching a washcloth in door helped 4- toaster would not work when plugged into receptacle next to refrigerator. When moved to a different socket the toaster worked.

Ok for a day or two

The AC upstairs was non existent. The cleaning service could do a better job of cleaning by moving furniture and lifting the cushions on the couches. Half of the window coverings were minimal or non existent. Don't plan on sleeping beyond sunrise. The drain in the basement shower backed up. The railing on the upstairs balcony was not attached to the house. Very dangerous. The smoke detector on the main floor was missing. Closet doors were broke. The view from the front deck was obscured by overgrowth. You could see the lake from one small spot. Had to buy batteries for one of the remotes as they were missing. Online listing and photos need to be updated. I will give the kitchen a good review. Plenty of dishes and cookware.
