Great time at the Lake Shore house. My family flew into Chicago and was going for the Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame game. This is a great location because it is right in the middle between Chicago and South Bend and only about 1 hour drive to each. The house has tons of beds and nice accommodations and amenities and the gorgeous Indiana Dunes West Beach is right across the street just like the picture shows. We took long walks and enjoyed the beach and dunes on one day and went to Notre Dame for the other day. Great trip. Recommend staying at this nice property.
We loved the beach nearby for a sunset. We loved the layout of the house and unique furnishings. Nearby to New Buffalo to visit as well . We would recommend this home to anyone who wants a clean , fun and great location to enjoy .
Came here with my sister and our families and parents. This is a nicely modern home with very nice decorations and kitchen appliances and plenty of quality pots and pans and spices. Felt like the host's home and not just a rental. While we were there, we put aside some decorative vases, so the kids could not accidentally break them. A partial view of the lake and close easy walk to the beach with the kids and some toys to enjoy too. Host was proactive about reaching out to talk through the check in process and so very helpful afterwards in helping ship some items we had accidentally left behind home. I would stay again.
Lovely house with everything we needed from kitchenware to beach chairs. Easy access to the beach and overall a great, relaxing week. We have already booked for next year!
Elenaâs house worked perfectly for our group of 10. You canât beat the proximity to the beach as the access to Miller Beach is across the street. The beach is exceptionalâŠwide sandy beach, gradual water entry, clear water, not rocky. Perfection! Elena was easy to communicate with and was available if we had any questions. The house had several different areas for gathering and conversation and a nice outdoor space if the weather suited. We would definitely rent Elenaâs house again.
Elena was super helpful. Checking in and out was a breeze. Lovely neighborhood with friendly folks to offer suggestions. Beautiful view. I was hesitant about a beach vacation at a lake, but this was perfect. Super close to the beach too.
Fabulous house, well appointed and decorated. The washer, dryer, kitchen appliances, pots, pans, dishes are top of the line. The bathrooms are marble and the linens and towels are luxurious. A huge picture window opens up the space with sunlight and you can see the lake just beyond. The neighborhood and beach are clearly cared for like the treasure they are. Elana, our host, had excellent communication and advice for activities. She is gracious and helpful. She has a beautiful rental home. Our family will certainly return, and the grandchildren are already asking when that will happen. We had a wonderful time.
We had such a wonderful getaway with family in Miller Beach at Elenaâs lovely property. It was even more beautiful than the pictures. The kitchen was very well equipped for meal prep. We really enjoyed the patio, grill, and outdoor table and chairs. The beds were so comfortable with great linens. The beach is close and an easy walk away. Elena provided so many beach toys and blow-ups as well as a wagon for toting to the beach. This experience was superior to most other rentals we have tried. We can definitely recommend it to others and hope to be back soon!
This is a very nice area with lots to do. Elena was very informative about the area and restaurants. The house was very clean and neat. Well stocked with all necessary accessories. Lake Michigan beach is less than a block away. Visited Marquette Park, St. John - The Shrine of Christ's Passion, Valparaiso University Chapel, Michigan City Lighthouse as well as surrounding wineries. The sunset at West Beach was outstanding.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The property was exactly as describedâclean, well-stocked, and in a perfect location. The check-in process was smooth, and the host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our visit. We especially loved the little touches that made it feel like home. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!
My sister and I rented the house for Thanksgiving week because our 91yr old Grammie lives in NW Indy. We needed a 1st floor friendly space to host turkey dinner and hangout with aunts uncles and cousins. Elenaâs house on the beach was PERFECT for us!!!
The basics started at clean updated bathrooms with nice linens, comfortable beds with newish pillows, functional kitchen that 2+ people easily fit, and plenty of seating that didnât feel crowded. All that and then some. Just a few of the bonus awesome features we loved are the hat collection in the giant bathroom, all the wonderful eclectic interesting artwork, the large capacity washer & dryer, and all the unique serving ware and dishes tucked into the huge kitchen cabinets.
Thank you. We loved it, and I know we will leave Texas again to come visit this house for sunny warm summer beach days very soon!
Me and 3 of my "girlfriends" stayed at the house. We found everything to be as stated in the info. It was nice to have the larger comfy beds and all the baths to accommodate. The house was well supplied with everything we needed ( except I couldn't find a liquid measuring cup). Lovely place to stay at and lots of towns to visit close by for choices to eat at some unique restaurants. Oh and so close to the beach with great access!!!
This house had everything we needed for our weekend stay! Check in was easy, Elena responded to inquiries immediately and the accommodations were great!
Overall it was a nice stay. One block from the beautiful beach, a couple of miles from the Indiana dunes NP. The internet is slow. No tv for the first night. Cable guy showed up around noon next day.we e
A Wonderful Family Vacation in a Beautiful Home on the Lake
Elena's home was lovely equipped with al the thoughtful amenities for the kitchen, game room, dining area and sitting room. Her outside Zen patio was such a highlight for outdoor gatherings. Her interior home is spacious and beautiful, only a stone's throw away from Lake Michigan. The swimming was fabulous too. We are deeply grateful for our stay in this beautiful home.
Elena's home at Miller Beach was the perfect home and place for our family getaway. The house was AMAZING, clean, very updated and had all the space we needed everywhere. It is a block from the beach. The neighbors and area are beautiful. The sunrise and sunsets are AMAZING. Elena is a fabulour host- we will return!!! :)
Our family had a wonderful week at Elenaâs beautiful Miller beach house (our 2nd yr)! My husband, kids (11 and 14), and I loved spending the week there. My 70 year old dad and step-mom joined us for a few days, plus my brother and his wife, and the house had plenty of room for all of us. Bonus: our older family members could enjoy main floor living with their bedrooms, bathroom, dining, and family gathering spaces all on the main level! And thank goodness for the 3 full, well-appointed bathrooms when you have a big crew like ours.
The beds are all comfy, the rooms are clean with plenty of space for all of our stuff, and the kitchen is the best stocked rental kitchen weâve ever experienced (after 15 years of renting beach houses, thatâs saying something). The house has plenty of spaces to gather (open layout living room and dining room open to the kitchen, basement hangout areas, and sunroom) and a truly delightful patio perfect for dining al fresco or lounging with a book and beverage.
And the most important part (to me, at least)âthe beautiful beach is just across the street! Beach access is quick and easy, and the house has a beach wagon for hauling toys and beach gear (chairs, toys, and boogie board were available this week for our use). Do remember to pack your own beach blankets and beach towels, though.
The beach was absolutely perfect this week; Elena is a wonderful, communicative host; and we canât wait to return to this lovely home again! Thank you, Elena!!
This Miller Beach home is a very short walk away from one of the most beautiful and uncrowded beaches in the Dunes. The sunny, airy house offers beach toys (but not beach towels!) galore and an outdoor shower. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is super well-equipped, and the house is full of personal touches. It is very well kept up. Our host, Elena, kept in touch, which we appreciated. We enjoyed eating outside on the large, lighted patio, and the kids loved the rabbit who hangs out in the back yard. There were 6 of us--larger parties should know that the two downstairs bedrooms are dark and feel isolated. Shopping is about a 20-minute drive away; the only nearby restaurant is not family-friendly. These are quibbles--we spent 10 days there and enjoyed every minute.
