Absolutely lovely!

My family (husband, 10 month old baby, and dog) stayed at the Wanderlust Loft for a long weekend getaway. We enjoyed every bit of the stay! The loft was beautiful, clean, stocked with anything we could ever need, and in a great location! The host had great suggestions for nearby things to do and places to eat. So close to Indiana Dune National Park and a short drive to Warren Dunes State Park in Michigan. Great coffee shops within walking distance too! We would love to stay again! Thank you so much for providing a beautiful & pet friendly place for travelers! :D
