Steps to Beach & Starbucks! Private Yard, Firepit!
This is our second stay in this home. Quaint, clean, and in the heart of New Buffalo. We loved that our dog could join us! Plenty of towels, linens, cleaning supplies, and amenities that made our stay comfortable. I highly recommend!

National Park Nature Lover's Paradise
This location was clean, quiet and comfortable. Perfect spot for enjoying the Dunes, hiking and birdwatching. I own a non-Tesla electric vehicle and there was a reliable set of chargers (6) at the Meijer store 5 miles away.

Lake House Retreat with a Pool
Absolutely beautiful home that embodies relaxation and peace. We were able to comfortably gather as a family. The beds and linens are great quality!! Mike is a very responsive host, and has put in the time, and attention to detail to curate a space that is absolutely perfect for an intimate gathering of loved ones. It's impossible to list just how amazing of a stay we had. Our only regret was not booking it for longer.

Lakefront cottage on Koontz Lake
My wife, oldest son, and I were looking for a quick getaway that wasn’t too far of a drive from Chicagoland. My wife came across Deborah’s listing and immediately knew it would be a nice location where the three of us could stay and my son could enjoy fishing. The cottage was located steps from the lake and my son spent hours fishing from the dock. The cottage was very clean and was the perfect size for the three of us. I think the only downside was that there weren’t many dining options nearby. We ended up eating one breakfast and one lunch in Walkerton and had dinner in Plymouth. The kitchen at the cottage did have enough supplies to enable us to cook two perch that my son caught earlier in the day, however.

"SERENITY COTTAGE" Picturesque lake front w/3 bdr!
We had a girl’s getaway weekend at this lake house . We needed a place to simply relax and unwind, and Polly’s place provided just that. It is in a very peaceful location. We all enjoyed having our coffee/tea in the sunroom in the morning while listening to the birds. A couple of questions came up during our stay, and Polly and Jack were responsive and helpful. Polly even came over to be our photographer when we had an idea for some pictures on the staircase. She was a great sport. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the home was spotless. The fire-pit area and access to firewood was great . If there was any suggestion I could share, it would be to devise an easier way to utilize the paddle boat. We didn’t attempt it, because we don’t believe we could have got it in and out of the lake easily. Other than that, we had a great weekend. I would definitely recommend the property to anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay.

The Spa of Downtown Whiting
Had a great 2 night stay. Everything was clean and exactly as pictures and described. Very cute decor/theme. The layout was great for us, family with older teens. Lots of space and TVs. Great restaurants and some shopping within walking distance. Really good value. Walk to the beach and trails. We were in town for a nearby event and really enjoyed the area this place was in. Host was very responsive and answered questions beforehand. We had no issues with our stay at all and would absolutely recommend.

Spacious Retreat 3min Walk to Beach & Restaurants
One block from the beach without the buzz. Feels residential and safe. Place is very clean. Have everything we need. Great place to explore the Indiana dunes national park. Would recommend

Lake front home on the hill.
This is the second time my family has stayed at this home, and this stay was just as great as the first. The host is extremely responsive, helpful, and accommodating. His home is beautiful, meticulously kept, is in a great location, and is one of the nicest in the area. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in northwest Indiana!

The Posh Apt. Mins to Downtown & Hyde Park
We had a most wonderful stay at Kayode's apartment which was very clean and matched all the descriptions in the listing and it was perfectly located for our purpose which was to be close to Hyde Park. Kayode was the perfect host and was extremely responsive and even when had a minor issue, he responded within minutes and had the issue resolved within the hour. Highly recommend Kayode as a host if you need an apartment in the Hyde Park area

The Lakefront Lookout (2BR)
We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated how responsive and accommodating Stephanie was! The view is beautiful and the surrounding area was great. Being right above a coffee shop was also extremely convenient.

Lincoln Pk-parking-wifi-King bd-crib-kid friendly
The apartment was very clean and comfortable and it was great that they had amenities for a baby as we stayed here with our daughter and baby grandson. This apartment is in a great location in Lincoln Park. Buena North Deli is a short walk away as well as other markets. Cedar Palace Lebanese restaurant is just across the street (great food and great service) with other nice restaurants just a short walk away. Armitage station was walkable and we used the train everyday to get around in Chicago. Michael, the host, provided great instructions and recommendations for the area. He was very responsive made sure we had what we needed. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Chicago.

420 at Cheltenham 4BR
I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Chicago. The host communicated very well and was very welcoming! This place was very clean spacious, and the beds were very comfortable! Thank you for Hosting us!

Executive Apartment on Lake Michigan with parking
Man this place was awesome! It was so relaxing and peaceful. Everything was the way it was described. Definitely coming back!

Cute 2 BR 10 Minutes to Downtown Chicago Sleeps 6
We had a pleasant stay! The space is small but thoughtfully arranged and very cozy, perfect for a short trip. Everything was clean and with a fresh, welcoming feel. The location is excellent: close to downtown, Chinatown, Navy Pier, and most of the key attractions you’d want to see on a first visit to Chicago. What stood out most was the host’s attentiveness—always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even smoother. Just a heads-up: the building has fairly thin walls, so some noise from neighboring units can be noticeable. Free street parking was surprisingly easy to find, which was a huge plus. Overall, a great spot with a responsive host and very convenient location.

Lake Michigan Getaway near the Beach
Really beautiful place in a great location. The pictures don’t really do it justice. Very relaxing and peaceful. Short walk to the beach. Great restaurants close by. It was perfect for a weekend getaway. Highly recommend.

The Pines Cottage on Birchwood
We love this place. We’ve now been three times and are already planning our next time. The cottage has everything you need and is cozy and relaxing. Perfect for a lovely few days away from the hub bub of everyday. Meta Rose is proactive and responsive. We’ll be coming back again and again. 💕

B's Retreat: Hot Tub & 10-min walk to Beach!
Easy check-in and felt right at home. Jennifer was always responsive to messages. She also gave great suggestions for food etc. The house is located perfectly for walking to the beach, market, restaurants, coffee. It is also a great location for quick travels to New Buffalo, Three Oaks, Michigan City and more. We will visit again for sure!

Casa Playa New House in Union Pier w/ Private Spa
Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and flexible, making everything so easy and welcoming from start to finish. This home holds a lot of sentimental value for our family — we spent many years vacationing in this area growing up — and it meant so much to be able to return to the area and create new memories in such a beautiful, well-kept space. We couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, meaningful getaway.

Harbor Country Michigan Hide-Away
We had a great time staying at Amy's place! It is the perfect size for a couple. It feels very cozy and like you are actually staying at someone's home vs. the sterile Airbnbs that are owned by corporate entities these days. The property is as described. It is very private, yet close to everything! I would recommend staying here if you're in the area.

DKM Cottage - 15 minute walk to Lake Michigan
What a beautiful location! Loved all the trees, beautiful yard to play games, super big fire pit, deck and grill was spotless! The inside was nice and spacious for the size. Great kitchen and bathrooms. The basement was large! We had an incredible time. Would come back for a longer vacation!

Prime Summer Days Still Open @ Birchwood Cottage!
This is a wonderful find in Michiana Shores: close enough to the "action" of New Buffalo but secluded and peaceful. The walk/bike ride to the beach is very pleasant, but you may wish to stay in the backyard of the cottage to enjoy the beautiful surroundings/firepit. Grilling and eating outside on the large table was a blast. The outdoor shower is amazing, especially on a chilly morning! Don't miss a perfect Lake Michigan sunset at Stop 37-39 beach. Meals at Bentwood Tavern and Stop 50 Pizza (which you can WALK TO) were delicious as always. You will not be disappointed staying at this Cottage! A+ hosts and property!

Steps to the Beach! Screened in Porch & Firepit!
What an absolute gem. Both the place and the host. So responsive and kind. We really appreciated the organization and the cleanliness. 100% recommend and looking forward to our next stay in Sept.
