2 of my close friend and I decided to get away for a short stay not too far from home. We had a great relaxing time. This place had everything we needed, short distance from everything. This place was clean and easy to find. The neighborhood felt safe. Even though the place below this apartment looks abandoned.

Misleading Listing – We Left Within an Hour
This rental was nothing like the listing portrayed. The exterior was completely run-down, which likely explains why there are no outside pictures. The home had a strong musty smell, outdated furniture, and a dingy, unclean feel. The floors felt soft and unstable in places, making us question the structural integrity. Some light switches worked, others didn’t, and the bathroom setup was makeshift and dirty.We didn’t stay more than an hour—just long enough to find alternative accommodations. When we reached out to the owner, offering to pay for one night and requesting a refund for the second, we were only offered a credit for another one of their properties, which we had no interest in.Extremely disappointing experience. We would not recommend this rental.
Everything was exactly as it said it was online. The space was clean and quiet. It’s decorated lovely and was great for a mini girls trip.
Only recommendation is to add another lock to the door that locks from the inside, it would make guests feel safer. Nothing happened but as two female guests it was concerning not have that in place.
We had such an amazing experience with this property and the host. She was very responsive and was so accommodating to some extra requests I had. We would stay again for sure!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The check in process was simple and the communication from Renee was excellent. The location of the property is close to restaurants and the beach. The property was clean and had everything we could have asked for during our stay.
We just needed one night to recover from our day at Indiana Dunes before we headed out of town. It was a great spot. The decor is so cute. Beds were comfortable. Everything worked just fine. We had a little trouble with the key code on the door when we checked in, but the host was VERY responsive and quick. Hardly a moment of delay accessing the property.
The VRBO was in a very convenient location for my activities. It was clean, quiet, comfy, & had a well stocked kitchen with dishes, utensils, & pots & pans since I enjoy cooking my own meals.
This was a quaint roomy place with good access to downtown. We enjoyed our stay. One issue that would not be the issue of the property owner was the map link on the VRBO's website does not take you to the listing.
Four of us from childhood get together every summer for a two night stay at a drivable location. This year we picked Michigan City and stayed at the Treehouse! We had a fun time. We needed two bedrooms and the living area was spacious. We had a fun time in Michigan City.
Not sure if I’ll ever be back in Michigan City, IN, but if I am, I’ll absolutely be staying here again! Super cute unit, very comfortable and homey. A couple of local breweries and a cabinet full of board games kept us busy for our evening stay after a long day of driving!
Renee was wonderful to work with, answered questions promptly, went out of her way to provided beach supplies for my kids. The house is clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Five stars for us!
This was hands down the cutest place I have stayed at! The house was the perfect size for my friends and I. The host was great answering any questions I had last minute! Love that! I would recommend staying here for a nice little getaway downtown in Michigan City! :)

Ok. Needs improvement!
The property was ok. The house needs a LOT of work. Outside especially. Run down! Didn’t give us the best feeling pulling up!! The shower was a train wreck. Water everywhere due to poor functionality. Older kitchen. Decor was cute. Beds comfortable. Neighborhood a little sketchy. Close and convenient to beach though. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.
The good: it’s spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. The decor was nicely done and felt cozy.
Neutral: the property is old and in need of maintenance. It’s very close to the railroad track and the whole house shakes when a train goes through.
The bad: The bathroom situation is awful. The shower is rigged up and secured with wooden post toppers. The frame rigged around the tub was bent and there was no way to fully close the curtain to shower without getting water all over the bathroom. Plus being tall people meant we were taller than the shower curtain. The property needs a lot of maintenance and the deck and stairs are not properly secured to the building, which didn’t feel safe.
Overall: it was a decent property but not worth the $300 a night I paid.
