Cozy Cabin Getaway – Trails, Fireplaces & Outdoor Fun near Lake Michigan

Before booking, I messaged the host to confirm whether an early check-in would be possible since we were traveling with young children. They indicated that if there was no guest staying the night before, an early check-in could be accommodated. However, after booking, early check-in was ultimately denied despite there being no guest the previous night.Additionally, although we signed the rental agreement the day before arrival, the host did not send the check-in information on time. We didn't receive the entry code until about 1.5 hours after the stated check-in time, which made for a stressful start to our stay.That said, once we were able to get into the property, our stay was great. In terms of cleanliness, the furniture was a bit grimy and musty. The home was spacious and conveniently located. It worked very well for our family and had plenty of room for everyone. Overall, the property itself was excellent.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location of the Cozy Cabin Getaway, in a quiet, tree-filled neighborhood close to a playground, beaches, apple orchards, plenty of ice cream shops, and mini golf. The house itself was clean and cozy. It was a little too chilly for us to fully take advantage of the amazing outdoor spaces, but the kids loved the bunkbeds and had plenty of space to play games and do puzzles. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for cooking together and sharing family meals. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet getaway!

This was a great house for a small family weekend! The open floor plan was great and the screened in porch offered more areas to relax. The rooms were great although the bunk room with futon can be a little tight. There was plenty of parking and outdoor space. The area was quiet. It was about a mile walk to Pier 37 for beach access so not the most convenient but still accessible. The host was great and very responsive to any questions we had. We would stay again!

This was our second stay at this property. It was clean and comfortable in a quiet neighborhood.

House was well appointed and a great shared space for our ladies weekend. Only gave 4 stars because the beds were not comfortable and it was very dark in there (lighting-wise). But the screened in porch was a beautiful space to sit together and enjoy the outdoors and the floor plan of the home worked great for our group.

Very clean and in a great location.

We had a wonderful stay at this Lake Michigan property! The house itself was really nice and well-maintained, providing everything we needed for a comfortable getaway.Being so close to the beach meant we could easily walk over whenever we wanted to enjoy the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline. Overall, this property hit all the marks for what we were looking for in a lake vacation rental. The combination of a quality house and an ideal location made for a memorable trip.

The neighborhood was wonderful. We’d walk every morning and evening. Neighborhood is surrounded by mature trees, woods, and wildlife. The deer we’d pass would be 5 yards away not bothered by our presence. Short walk to the park with a nice playground and basketball/pickleball courts. Short walk to a gorgeous and more secluded beach, which was amazing especially at sunset.The cabin is spacious and clean and it was nice having our meals in the enclosed patio. There is a zoo, lighthouse, bowling alley, & antique shopping nearby in Michigan City. Twenty minute drive to Harbert with an amazing Swedish (Harbert) bakery that has the best sea salted chocolate chip cookies and quiche. If you drive an hour south to Winamac they have Riverside Rentals to tube, kayak, or canoe down the river (highly recommend). They also have an outdoor paintball facility in Winamac. Of course the cabin is close to the Indiana Sand Dunes National Park, which is spectacular and breath taking to hike. The beach that has the biggest dune is the most beautiful. The property management team was easy to contact and respond and we had a wonderful time and loved our stay.

The property manager was great to work with. Very clean, lots of space. A great house for a larger family to stay. They had all the beach supplies you could need, provided. Great proximity to multiple beaches, restaurants, grocery, etc. Would definitely stay again.

They love to raid the garbage can!

Fabulous cabin! Very spacious and clean. Close to both Michigan City and New Buffalo!

Did not expect home to be in a neighborhood and outside could use a bit of sprucing up. Bedrooms a bit crowded but living areas quite spacious. Could use a blow dryer. Saw many deer right in the yard. Overall stay was quite satisfying.

We were there for a girls trip! Worked perfectly for us!

Had the most beautiful weather. So enjoyed my old stomping grounds loved it!!!
