Miller Beach is a small beach front community less than 1 hour from Chicago. This accessibility and the fact that it borders the Indiana Dunes makes this a little hidden gem. This light and bright house is situated across the street from the beach with a pretty path right across from the house.

The house was completely updated in 2015 and now has all the features of a great house for all seasons. The open layout of the first floor gives you a relaxing place to hang out with family or friends. There is ample space for multiple families. The house will sleep 12 people comfortably. Rate advertised is for up to 8 guests. Fees apply for additional guests.

The house offers an open first floor and a warm and cozy wood burning fireplace. The open kitchen is beautiful with a gas stove, dishwasher, and large island. The open floor plan offers a large dining area, spacious sitting area around the fireplace and a separate game table. The first floor powder room has a penny floor- see if you can find the Indian Head or Steel penny!

The Master Bedroom is spacious, and has a queen bed with a sitting area and lake views. The 2nd Bedroom has a queen bed. The Master bathroom is large with a separate shower with a rain shower and Handheld, a separate soaking tub and a large vanity with 2 sinks. The second floor also has a cozy sitting area at the top of the stairs with lake views which is great for reading!

    Inside was clean, except for water on floor from A/C. Place needs maintenance in many ways, especially outside.

    Well-equipped, cozy, comfy cottage just a few steps from the beach. Extremely well-stocked kitchen with an open floor plan made it easy to cook, entertain, and visit at the same time. Very clean and very quiet.

    The property was everything we needed for two families to enjoy the entire week. Location across front the beach was awesome literally a three min walk to it. The water was clear and refreshing. Our stay had a few minors issues and the host was responsive and did what was needed. Few touches are needed on the aesthetics but all in all a great location great house great Host, beautiful water and an awesome beach. That is truly a hidden gem in Miller Beach.

    We stayed for 3 nights for a friends trip. The house was very nice, with a lot of room for hanging out inside and out. The best part was the proximity to the beach. You can easily walk to the beach from the house, and the owners provided beach chairs, towels, a wagon, and other beach needs. We had a lovely stay!

    Our family loved staying here as the beach is walking distance in a nice quiet neighborhood. The home itself is nicely decorated with all the amenities needed for cooking, relaxing and visiting the beach. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and clean updated bathrooms to meet everyone's needs. My only suggestions would be for some updated chairs/pillows in the living room area and a few repairs on the decking. You provided a fabulous outdoor shower area (even with hot water) adjacent to the hot tub so there is absolutely no reason for sand to get into the hot tub. We utilized this along with your generous beach chairs and sand toys. We would most definitely stay here again. Thank you!!

    Loved the 3 levels! So close to the beach! Hot tub was a wonderful extra! And being able to watch the fireworks from the beach was amazing! Would love to return! (Only negative…some living room furnishings could stand to be updated/replaced.)

    Our two families (4 adults, 4 kids ages 8-13) had a blast! The location is perfect for hanging out at the beach on Lake Michigan. So close you can go back and forth from the house to the lake with ease. The views of the lake from the upstairs is gorgeous. Very clean house with plenty of space. Beach chairs, a cooler and towels were all available upon our arrival. We would absolutely stay here again and I hope we are able to come back soon!
