Holiday rentals with lake access in Michigan City

Melissa Joy's place is so peaceful and cozy. Our family of 10 adults, 2 toddlers, and an infant were very comfortable. The little ones had plenty of room to play and the adults had great seating with a beautiful view of the lake. The kitchen was perfectly stocked to host our family Thanksgiving dinner. We had such a great time and we plan to return for the summertime!

We had a wonderful time celebrating my brother's engagement and catching up with old friends! It was super peaceful but also had plenty of room to host a party and have a good time. We would 100% come back. My only warning to those coming here is to bring throw blankets if you are used to always having some.

This was a great stay for my dad’s lifelong dream of going to a home game at Notre Dame. Miranda was responsive and helpful. The space was immaculate and the view was beautiful. I highly recommend Miranda’s place! Thank you so much for having us!

This was a patch of Heaven on earth! The scenery was breath-taking! We saw eagles, swans and other wildlife. The cottage was spotless and comfortable and well stocked with amenities. David quickly responded to our questions. We had a wonderful getaway!

My family and I were blown away by the house and its surroundings. We were a party of 10 adults attending my nephew's wedding at the Marion Magnolia Farms venue which was about 2 miles away. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed to make meals. Except the food, of course. Plenty of bath towels, blankets, etc. Bring bottled water. The backyard setting adjacent to the lake was tranquil and peaceful. The weather was beautiful for October (high 70's). We spent the evening around the fire pit making s'mores. No mosquitoes or flies. Yay!!!!!!! You literally will not want to leave!!!!!!!!!!!! But we had to get back to reality. For 3 days and 2 nights we were able to escape the busyness of everyday living. Thanks Amy for allowing us to have a wonderful mini-vacation/wedding celebration at your AirBnB.

We enjoyed our stay here! It was a little hard to find at first but even though it was right off the road the back yard felt very private. Easy to walk to the beach and around the neighborhood. For two people and a dog it felt very spacious and the outdoor area was very beautiful with all the fall colors. It was a nice area with easy access to the state parks we visited.

this was so perfect! i came here to celebrate my birthday with my friends and we had so much fun ! everything was clean and organized when we got there and it was such a cozy and comfortable place !

We loved this place. The ducks in the lake that visited frequently. The details were carefully chosen. The comfort, the stove, the spacing gave us room to move, the games created memories for us to enjoy and talk about. Thank you for a lovely experience.

We really enjoyed staying at this place - it was clean and comfortable, and the location is fantastic. Elizabeth was very responsive and a great host. We would stay here again!

Jessica’s place was great and perfect jumping off point for my family attending my brother’s wedding and other festivities.

Happy I found this listing and stayed. great Host, cummicated and was exactly as advertised. good location a few blocks from downtown 10-15 minutes walking. would definitely stay again.

Had a good stay. Host was kind and very responsive. Place is very clean and comfy. Kitchen has all you need appliances. Super happy there was coffee! Bit away from downtown. Expect a $15-25 dollar cab ride.

Michael’s apartment was clean, convenient, and cozy. We enjoyed a 4-night family vacation staying here. We were able to walk to some really delicious restaurants and the parking in the back of the building made it easy to visit other parts of the city. All of Michael’s instructions were timely, accurate, and clear. We would definitely stay here again if we returned to Chicago!

Great location! Felt safe and easy to get around. Close to the Vic Theater and the El. The space was very comfortable for 3 of us. Once we figured out the codes/keys, it was easy enough. I would definitely stay again. Cathy is super easy to talk to and very responsive. Thank you, Cathy!

A great neighborhood location, and a lovely quiet home that is extremely cozy and clean. A very comfortable, relaxed experience. Michelle was a great host and very responsive. We will be back.

We had a great stay, the house was clean and nicely decorated. Host was very responsive, overall very enjoyable stay.

This was the perfect place for our family weekend! We enjoyed how easy it was to get to everything we wanted to do. The space is comfortable, homey, and oh so peaceful. Being able to walk to the private beach access was fantastic! It is the perfect balance between an upscale location and a laid-back lake house vibe. I really hope it stays vintage in the face of all the over the top renovations that seem to be dominating the rest of the neighborhood.

The Pines Cottage in Michiana Shores was the perfect escape for my sister and me—a busy Finance Director and Grants Manager—finally pressing pause on juggling responsibilities. Though it was a working vacation, this beautifully curated retreat by Meta Rose allowed us to relax, reconnect, and recharge. The blend of modern amenities with rustic charm made it feel like home, and the kitchen—my domain—was a dream for any home chef, snuggly designed yet perfect for cooking and baking. The serene surroundings and walkability gave us space for reflection and creativity, making our time here truly good for the soul. We can't rave enough about this little slice of joy and will absolutely be back! WARNING - you're going to fall in love all too easily with it!

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.

Charming, romantic, rustic, peaceful. Cannot overstate how lovely our stay was. The cottage is just as described and provided everything we needed to have the weekend away that we wanted. Highly recommend getting out in the early morning to go deer spotting! We walked the entirety of the trails and enjoyed every bit of it. Definitely staying here again!

Great place to stay and the local area was absolutely gorgeous! We definitely appreciated how the host provided a binder full of local restaurants, instruction manuals, and places to visit! Not to mention, heated bathroom flooring was life changing! Thank you again ♥️

Beautiful house, very well thought out for guests. Host and Co-Host were absolutely wonderful through the whole process. Lots to do in the area. Would highly recommend!

My daughters and I celebrated Easter at Kim’s cottage It’s clean, beautifully furnished and she is extremely responsive (I mentioned I forgot OJ on the phone and she was in the area and she left two OJs at the door) The cottage is cozy and fun We grilled, dyed eggs, watched movies, played a board game and loved the hot tub It’s clean clean !!! Just book it It’s a jewel box

This was our second stay. The place has so much character and the fireplace and masonry heater are splendid in winter. I can just sit in front of the fire all day enjoying it and the view of the channel. Once I am there, it is hard to leave that peace and coziness.
