⚠ 5 night min. June 27th-Aug. 15th

This charming 1940s vintage cottage is one of the original homes in what is now Michiana Shores, a serene beach community nestled between Michigan City, IN, and New Buffalo, MI. Surrounded by towering trees and just a short stroll from Lake Michigan, this cozy retreat blends rustic charm with modern comfort.

Inside, the knotty pine interior and lofted ceilings create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Curl up by the stunning two-story fieldstone fireplace, unwind on the screened-in patio, or gather around the backyard fire pit table under the stars. The cottage has been thoughtfully updated with central air conditioning, ensuring a comfortable stay in any season.

Explore gentle trails leading to the lake, where you might spot deer sipping from the creek or catch a breathtaking sunset over the water. Whether you're looking to relax in nature or explore nearby attractions like Indiana Dunes and Michigan’s Harbor Country, this peaceful getaway is the perfect escape.

We kindly request that guests refrain from hosting large parties or family gatherings out of respect for the neighboring homeowners, many of whom reside here year-round. By fostering a sense of harmony and consideration, we can ensure that everyone enjoys a peaceful and rejuvenating stay.
