There is sleeping for 3. Ample seating in the living area includes a loveseat and a comfortable daybed. The dining room table can be expanded to meet you 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 oven and 12 cup coffee maker. There are bar stools at the kitchen counter for casual dining or socializing with the chef. All linens (bath towels, hand towels, wash clothes and dish towels) are provided.

Should you want to venture beyond the beach numerous nearby attractions include hiking, biking, dining, shopping, museums, art galleries, an arboretum, golfing, waterpark, farmers markets, live theatre, movie theatres,skating, bowling and much more.

Rest and Reflection
Marvelous views of the lake from every angle! This lovely little cottage on the beach reminded me of happy days as a little one spending time with my family at our lake cottage. Heavenly.

Great Stay
We had a great time staying here for the weekend! Being right on the lake was really nice, even though we visited in the middle of winter. It was close to the Indiana Dunes National Park and State Park, which is where we spent most of our time. Grocery stores were only about ten minutes away. We would come back again!

Awesome
This was our 2nd time staying here. There is nothing more to say than this is an awesome place to spend time with the one you love. Sitting out fron watching and listening to the waves as they come up to the beach is the most relaxing, also listing to the waves when going to sleep is very relaxing. We will defiantly be back again.

Quiet get away
Susan was an attentive host and the little one bedroom right on the beach was perfect. Warm and inviting, good water pressure and the sound of the waves and seeing so many stars was just fabulous.

The cottages have been in our family since the 1920s. I grew up in Chicago but spent my summers, weekends and holidays here at the beach. I moved here permanently in 1990 to assume management of the properties.
