    Everything about this house met our extended family stay on Lake Michigan. We have stay numerous places in Michigan, but the Indiana location was like staying at a friends house. The appliance and house supplies far exceeded any other house we have stayed. We loved being so close to the National Park. Lots of areas to hike and explore. But most important was the close proximity to the beautiful sand beach only a 3 minute walk from the house.

    This house is the perfect location to spend time with family or friends. The views are amazing from both the inside and outside of the home. The owner has thought of everything you may need to enjoy your stay. Everything is there to enjoy a day at the beach to relaxing by a fire in the evening. The host provided great communication and even checked on us during our stay. I would highly recommend this property. We would love to return.

    Modern, beautiful setting and views, close to beach access, too many thoughtful amenities to mention. The best place we've found so far. Miller Beach is a hidden gem!
