Michigan city has lots of excellent restaurants including the best sushi restaurant eeeeever, just downstairs. Bring your bikes and ride the local bike trails, take the South Shore train to Chicago for the day or if you're feeling lucky, you could visit the Blue Chip Casino.

Some great side junkets include Three Oaks which is about 25 minutes away. Sample a couple of craft cocktails and get a bite to eat at the Journeyman Distillery. A wonderful distillery occupying the historic Featherbone building, which manufactured corsets and buggy whips, back in the day. Be sure to visit Trilogy, and some of the other unique shops in the historic downtown district.
Bridgeman is also about 25 minutes away and have a couple of great breweries. Sample a flight and pick up a growler of your favorite!
The Red Arrow Highway is a great driving excursion with lots of restaurants and antiques shops along the way.
Need a nice space for a Notre Dame home game This location is only 3 blocks walking to the South Shore train line which is a 40 minute ride to the South Bend airport and a quick cab or Uber to the game field. About 30 minutes by car.

    Great location - on a really cute street with festive storefront windows, grassy/park areas for pets, and close to everything (mall, casino, dunes, MI). The place was super clean and well stocked. Both beds were comfortable and supportive. The decor is tasteful and beautiful. The owners were very responsive and everything worked great!100% would recommend. It was very accomodating for our dog and the teenagers even loved it.

    I can't say enough about this lovely , beautifully decorated loft right in the heart of Michigan City arts district. It was walkable to so many restaurants, bars and shopping! Just a short distance away were many, many more restaurants and convenient shopping. The loft itself was just a dream. Attention to detail was very notably present. The bed was ultra comfortable, and most basic necessities were readily available with permission to utilize them. The neighborhood felt safe for the most part, with a band even playing on Friday night. It was also very nice to order carry out from the Mexican place right down below, and bring it back up!Beach was a five minute drive away with beautiful sunsets. Spent much time at Indiana Dunes State and National Parks, which were a very short drive away. Also took a day trip to Marshall Indiana for some hiking at Turkey Run State Park, hands down some of the most challenging and FUN hiking we've ever done! Also, lovely botanical gardens a few minutes away which are lovely to stroll through!

    We have stayed in Michigan city several times during the past summers and this could possibly be our favorite place so far. Starting with the location. It’s within walking distance of several restaurants. The most convenient is right below, Mucho Mas. Nice little Mexican restaurant. Other nearby places were fiddlehead restaurant, Leeds, café Farina, among others. All very good. It’s also about a mile from the beach. We walked down there a couple days and other days drove and parked a little bit further up the coast. The apartment itself was clean and had all the amenities that you would need. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils - had several meals in. They also had the typical spices and cooking supplies. We loved how everything was labeled as far as the switches so it was easy to tell which switch went to what light or fan, etc.. They also had some extras like a cooler you could take to the beach or a beach chair, or a backpack, or a small beach blanket. We didn’t have our dog with us, but it was dog, friendly with treats and poop bags and blankets to put down on the couches if you have a dog that refuses to stay on the floor, ha ha. Food and water bowl as well. The check-in process was simple. The owners communicated very well. There was a grocery store just about a five minute drive away. It was also very close to the casino. The bed was comfortable. The dishwasher was convenient as well as the washer and dryer. I can’t say enough good things about this place.

    We really enjoyed this fun property. I must say it was absolutely the best equipped and stocked VRBO I have ever stayed in! Kudos to John and Lisa, they thought of everything one might need. The kitchen was well stocked with everything including kitchen spices (WOW) and the bed was very comfortable. They even had treats for our dog! I would recommend this property to anyone!

    We loved this place, very arty, lots to look at, extremely comfortable, living space is huge, kitchen has absolutely everything you could possibly need and more, bedroom is also huge with a super comfy bed, bathroom was well equipped and everywhere was immaculately clean. We were visiting from the UK for our daughter's wedding who lives in Michigan City now, so we spent the week here and had the most amazing time. Everyone who came by to see us also fell in the love with Wanderlust, we would thoroughly recommend it. Michigan City is a great place with plenty of fab bars and restaurants, we walked everywhere and felt very safe. The lake is around a 20 minute walk away and is well worth it with a lovely beach. You can also drive to New Buffalo in Michigan in around 10/15 minutes which is beautiful and has a lovely lake beach (don't forget the hour change there and back)... can't wait till we can go back to visit our daughter and son in law again.

    We loved staying here! It was perfect for a long weekend of hiking in the Indiana Dunes National Park! Lots of walkable food options and coffee- the town is quaint and has a lot of potential. This loft has everything you need for a cozy, quiet getaway.

    What a lovely home away from home. We were shocked at the amount of thoughtful touches and care that we experienced at our recent Michigan City visit. The loft was spacious, clean, had a full kitchen, extra pet supplies, beach supplies, and laundry. The host was responsive and gave great tips to enjoy the area to its fullest. We woke up to enjoy the coffee shop down the street every morning, that’s a must and explored the quiet up in coming downtown. The vintage shops in the area were fun additions to this gem. It was a small drive to the beaches or you can walk to main beach down the street. Make sure to buy the parking pass and check out beaches like Kemil that are pet friendly. We loved ordering a sushi roll and popping down the steps to grab it. We didn’t know what to expect for our first visit but by the end of our trip we were sad to leave. Loved the loft, the decor, the beaches and the town. It was a trip with nature and a city perfectly blended thanks to this loft!

    We loved Wanderlust Loft! It was everything we could have wanted. The hosts thought of everything a guest could need; we couldn't ask for a better place. We also loved the location close to great restaurants and activities.
