    Location was great for what we had planned. Loved it was right on the Marina and being able to see the water and lake animals!! Was well provided with coffee towels and blankets, and kitchen things you might need! The stair lighting was super cool...

Relax on the water or indulge in family-fun activities the lakeshore has to offer every season, all-year round. Each season, nature’s artistry transforms the Indiana Dunes Community and the Fall and Winter are no exception! Vibrant Autumn colors are a sight to see along the south shore, and just beyond the beach are farms, orchards and natural attractions. Winter provides a unique experience with hiking and observing ice formations being a favorite.
All communication is welcome 24/7. I can always be reached directly on my cell phone.
Steps from the SouthShore for quick transportation to Chicago. 15 miles of beaches along Lake Michigan. Home of nationally recognized Indiana Dunes State Park.
