    The host communicated well with the booking process, questions prior to our stay, and was responsive to communication regarding concerns during our stay. The space overall was clean and as described. It was very upsetting to find a dead mouse and dead bugs (appeared to be cockroaches) on a sticky trap in the middle of the basement family room. We later noticed a sticky trap filled with bugs (again appeared to be roaches). I contacted the host and she was very kind, apologetic and horrified at what we had found. She asked how they could make it right and we thought it would be fair to have the cleaning fee refunded and one night’s stay. The cleaning fee was refunded but we were disappointed to not have one night’s stay refunded. Due to the bug situation we did not fully utilize the basement for sleeping and recreation because many family members were uncomfortable in that space due to the dead mouse and especially the roaches. We would have felt more comfortable with a response from the host that indicated that the problem with the bugs/roaches was going to be remediated, so that others would not encounter this same situation.

    This is a great house for families. The game area down stairs was perfect (a toilet would be even better). Check in info was sent early to help with planning. Good location but we chose it as it was close to our son. Will plan to stay here again.

    We had a great weekend at this property. The house is really clean and well maintained. I especially loved the original deco tile in the 1st floor bath. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds are really comfortable. 2 full baths was helpful for our family of 4. We enjoyed the game room together. There's plenty of room for everyone to spread out and hang out. Chesterton is a very cute town with shops and restaurants. We ate out several times and everything was great. There was even a craft fair in the central square the weekend we were there. The house is also close to Indiana Dunes National and State Parks. Beachfront and hiking trails within minutes.

    The house is very unique, spacious, comfortable, clean and kid friendly. Check in was seamless, the kitchen had all needed appliances and tools/gadgets. It made for a wonderful space to enjoy family time and our vacation to Lake Michigan!

    The perfect property! It was beautiful and so well kept. Great location. The host was so great to work with and we'll definitely book again for our annual beach trip. Everyone had their own space and privacy.

    The property was ideal for our cousin reunion. The entire house was pristine in cleanliness, available amenities and interactions with the host. I would enjoy staying at Sugar Shores again!

    This property is great! Beautiful inside and out. The only thing the group recommended was including that the shower is on the second floor:)
