This cabin has the best view of Lake Michigan and the Chicago Skyline, inside and outside. This delightfully open cabin with two bedrooms and a perfect view of Porter Beach and Lake Michigan is nestled in the Indiana Dunes and just 53 steps away from magnificent Lake Michigan. The only thing between you and the lake is 53 stairs and a lovely sand beach. There is sleeping for 4 currently but the couch can be used to sleep 2 more people, all 3 beds are queen size. Ample seating in the living area includes dining room chairs and living room sofa with spinning chairs. The dining room table can be expanded to meet 9 persons dining needs or the leaves can be easily hidden away for a more intimate dining experience. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with a full size refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, Kuerig cup coffee maker, and Central Air (Furnace/Air Conditioning). All linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash clothes and dish towels, bedding) are provided. There is a full wrap around deck with chairs and a Weber propane gas grill. The beach is a public beach, about a half mile from the main Dunes State Park Beach, we have beach toys for children of all ages, footballs, spike ball, soccer balls and other beach games.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless and I especially appreciated that everything was on one floor, which made babyproofing much easier. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking and grilling, and the beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, toys, etc.) were such a thoughtful touch. The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach with beautiful views both inside and outside the home. Will was communicative and helpful throughout our stay. We’d definitely come back!

The house was AMAZING! The photos do not compare to the views of the lake - spectacular is the only word to describe it. The living space faces the lake with large open windows so your view from almost every corner is beach. The water was fairly choppy during our stay but it meant that we could hear the sound of the waves with the windows open constantly. The peace that we felt during this stay was unmistakable. My family had an amazing time with much needed peace, quiet and rest! Thank you so much.

This house is in a beautiful and amazing location. The view of Lake Michigan is incredible and the house is cozy and welcoming. The little touches like board games and a pretty well equipped kitchen made it feel inviting and we hope to come back again sometime!

Perfect getaway

Even though it was chilly for early May, this was the perfect house to sit, watch and listen to the waves of Lake Michigan! We were able to walk on the beach and in the park on the dunes. It’s a 20 minute drive or less to Michigan city and other attractions.

Amazing anniversary get away

My husband and I stayed at this property to celebrate our one year anniversary, and as always it never fails to disappoint!!! The house is so clean, bright, and beautiful, and every little detail and convenience has been considered by the hosts. Add to that the absolutely stunning views and the convenient beach access and it really makes for a one of a kind getaway. We had a wonderful time on the beach or just relaxing outside on the beautiful deck. It’s hard to believe we were still in Indiana!!! We will keep returning to this gorgeous property as often as we possibly can.
