Summary: We loved our time in Michiana Shores thanks to this wonderful rental! The house was darling, clean, well stocked and in the most charming, quiet neighborhood. The host, Laura, was great to work with and very communicative! We loved our quick trips into New Buffalo and Union Pier for shopping, wine tasting, and walking along the beach. It was a perfect girls weekend!

Summary: I travelled with my husband, daughter and three teenage grandchildren. There was plenty of room for all of us. Communication with the host was quick and easy. She even let us know when the property was ready and we could check in early. The property was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. We would definitely stay here again

Summary: The home was very nice and had lots of amenities that we loved! 2 things we didn't care for - the too early check out time (10:00am). Since we couldn't check in until about 4:00, it just seems really short. Most places are at least 11:00 or 12:00 checkout. Also, the rooms that had the trundle beds were Very small and we had to move furniture around ourselves in order to get the trundles out. Renters should not have to move furniture so rooms are usable. Perhaps those rooms can be reconfigured to make it easier to pull out trundles. In any case, the rooms are very small to have the bed and trundle in them and you essentially have to walk over/on the trundle to get out of rooms. The owner was Very accomodating and responsive to all inqueries and the home is lovely.

Summary: Learned about the Chicago Fair houses in a class I took at Lourdes University recently and was so excited to see them and have a little vacation at the same time. I literally spent hours on the internet researching how we could see them. I asked at least 6 different people at the visitor centers, park visitors centers, VRBO owners. Couldn’t find anything!!! I don’t know if people are trying to protect the homes from people roaming the neighborhood or if people who live there really just don’t know anything about them. We did finally find them, and they did not disappoint. After visiting there, we went to the Depot, a small art gallery/museum. It was packed full of information about the houses and the fair!! Good place to start if you’re interested in seeing the houses. Our VRBO was close to everything we wanted to see. It had a beautiful porch for game playing and a cozy tv area for watching a Halloween movie each night. I would recommend this VRBO for a fun vacation!!

Summary: Dark arrival. Missed the keypad because it’s dark too lol Plenty of room for all. Beds all great! Used one of the Trundle (grey) also very cozy! Plenty of blankets and seating for all. Deck was great for nature, eating, and coffee. Deer every morning. Convenient to Lake Michigan. Nice quiet area. Kids loved bikes! Would stay again for sure. Candles would help closed up scent go away quicker.

Summary: We had a wonderful time! We were a group of 8 adulta and we wanted a weekend getway from the city. At about just over an hour away from chicago it offered the calm and quiet we need to relax. The host offered everything you could need. We used the bikes located in the shed and road all the way to the nearest beach! This was a memorable trip and we def recommend this for everyone including families with young children! We loved the fire pit. The only thing i would recommend is extending the lights from the back porch to the trees near and around the fire pit. Other than that the house was perfect!
