About this property

Artistic Loft close to Lake Michigan beaches, craft breweries & outlet shopping

  • WANDERLUST LOFT is located in the Michigan City Arts District, within walking distance to beautiful Lake Michigan and Washington Park. One bedroom loft space with an extra king murphy bed for extra guests. You’ll love the location, the colorful interiors, and the open living space of the WANDERLUST LOFT. It's a great place to explore your inner wanderer and to discover the good life. Perfect for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and furry friends (pets). Michigan city has lots of excellent restaurants including the best sushi restaurant eeeeever, just downstairs. Bring your bikes and ride the local bike trails, take the South Shore train to Chicago for the day or if you're feeling lucky, you could visit the Blue Chip Casino. If you need a little retail therapy you can check out the shopping at the Lighthouse Outlet Mall.
    Some great side junkets include Three Oaks which is about 25 minutes away. Sample a couple of craft cocktails and get a bite to eat at the Journeyman Distillery. A wonderful distillery occupying the historic Featherbone building, which manufactured corsets and buggy whips, back in the day. Be sure to visit Trilogy, and some of the other unique shops in the historic downtown district.
    Bridgeman is also about 25 minutes away and have a couple of great breweries. Sample a flight and pick up a growler of your favorite!
    The Red Arrow Highway is a great driving excursion with lots of restaurants and antiques shops along the way.
    Need a nice space for a Notre Dame home game? This location is only 3 blocks walking to the South Shore train line which is a 40 minute ride to the South Bend airport and a quick cab or Uber to the game field. About 30 minutes by car.

Eclectic fun

We really enjoyed this fun property. I must say it was absolutely the best equipped and stocked VRBO I have ever stayed in! Kudos to John and Lisa, they thought of everything one might need. The kitchen was well stocked with everything including kitchen spices (WOW) and the bed was very comfortable. They even had treats for our dog! I would recommend this property to anyone!

Absolutely lovely!

My family (husband, 10 month old baby, and dog) stayed at the Wanderlust Loft for a long weekend getaway. We enjoyed every bit of the stay! The loft was beautiful, clean, stocked with anything we could ever need, and in a great location! The host had great suggestions for nearby things to do and places to eat. So close to Indiana Dune National Park and a short drive to Warren Dunes State Park in Michigan. Great coffee shops within walking distance too! We would love to stay again! Thank you so much for providing a beautiful & pet friendly place for travelers! :D

Our stay May 22-May 30

I can write so much about this little place. First of all, I have always stayed in a hotel but this time someone told me to go this route and I am so glad I did. Lisa was very responsive to answer my questions and I did have a lot. The Artistic Loft is beautiful. My mom and I needed a place to stay for a family wedding. We had a great time in Michigan City. The beach is so relaxing and we walked the Lighthouse. We also went to South Bend. We will be staying here again. Thank you so much for a great experience! Jenny & Deena Pensacola, Florida

Beautiful Loft... could not fault it at all.

We loved this place, very arty, lots to look at, extremely comfortable, living space is huge, kitchen has absolutely everything you could possibly need and more, bedroom is also huge with a super comfy bed, bathroom was well equipped and everywhere was immaculately clean. We were visiting from the UK for our daughter's wedding who lives in Michigan City now, so we spent the week here and had the most amazing time. Everyone who came by to see us also fell in the love with Wanderlust, we would thoroughly recommend it. Michigan City is a great place with plenty of fab bars and restaurants, we walked everywhere and felt very safe. The lake is around a 20 minute walk away and is well worth it with a lovely beach. You can also drive to New Buffalo in Michigan in around 10/15 minutes which is beautiful and has a lovely lake beach (don't forget the hour change there and back)... can't wait till we can go back to visit our daughter and son in law again.

Book this loft!

What a lovely home away from home. We were shocked at the amount of thoughtful touches and care that we experienced at our recent Michigan City visit. The loft was spacious, clean, had a full kitchen, extra pet supplies, beach supplies, and laundry. The host was responsive and gave great tips to enjoy the area to its fullest. We woke up to enjoy the coffee shop down the street every morning, that’s a must and explored the quiet up in coming downtown. The vintage shops in the area were fun additions to this gem. It was a small drive to the beaches or you can walk to main beach down the street. Make sure to buy the parking pass and check out beaches like Kemil that are pet friendly. We loved ordering a sushi roll and popping down the steps to grab it. We didn’t know what to expect for our first visit but by the end of our trip we were sad to leave. Loved the loft, the decor, the beaches and the town. It was a trip with nature and a city perfectly blended thanks to this loft!

Absolutely wonderful loft! Whimsical and full of art! Super clean! Fully stocked kitchen. All the things you’d need for a beach day. Close to antique shops and a 5 minute walk from the outlet mall. Restaurants and beaches all within a 10 minute drive at most. Excellent location! We will definitely be back!

Great location - on a really cute street with festive storefront windows, grassy/park areas for pets, and close to everything (mall, casino, dunes, MI). The place was super clean and well stocked. Both beds were comfortable and supportive. The decor is tasteful and beautiful. The owners were very responsive and everything worked great!100% would recommend. It was very accomodating for our dog and the teenagers even loved it.

Wonderful Wanderlust Loft!!

The whole experience was just lovely! The artsy decor was so eclectic and fun while making it feel like a getaway from our everyday lives. The owners thought of everything, from bandaids to games to an umbrella, that we could possibly need. Fully stocked kitchen made it easy to entertain. What a hidden gem in Michigan City!

Great Loft in Quaint Artistic District

We had a great stay at Wanderlust! The loft is well appointed with all the amenities you could hope for. We loved all of the art and decor in the loft! It was fun and cozy! A great home away from home! There are local coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommend Mucho Mas downstairs and next door. Our stay was only 3 nights and we ate at Mucho Mas twice! Highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again if we are in the area.

I lived my boho fantasy

I absolutely loved the vibe of this place. The decor is expertly curated; you can tell a lot of thought and love went into it. It felt like a space you'd find in a much bigger city. Bed was comfy, shower was spacious. Very walkable, and the sushi place downstairs was legit. This loft was my favorite part of my trip because the weather decided not to cooperate.
