About this property

Stunning Home (Sleeps 16) Hot Tub, Firepit, Large Yard

House, 5 Bedrooms, 4 Full Baths, (Sleeps 16)
Close to the beach, casino, dunes and an easy drive to Chicago, Michigan and Notre Dame! Walkable to the South Shore Train stop, just down the street.

Imagine a two-acre Garden of Eden with a vacation home dropped in the middle. Each portion of this property is an outdoor room with its own character. The front "tranquility room" features gardens and waterfalls, with massive sweeping maples, oaks, evergreens and dozens of different perennial varieties. The outdoor "party room" to the east features the 9-person hot tub, fire pit, grill and outdoor shower. The south-facing outdoor "sun room" features chaise lounges and other outdoor seating on a curvilinear and massive deck that looks like a gentle sand dune facing a pine forest. There is a table with seating for 8 for beautiful outdoor dining. The west-facing "game lawn" is perfect for corn hole and other outdoor games.
Inside. With five bedrooms (two of the bedrooms have two sets of bunkbeds each, so there are 8 bunks, two queen beds and a king bed, plus a queen-sized pull-out sofa) and four full bathrooms, as many as 16 (when using pullout sofa) can have a great time over the week or weekend, and all sleep onsite. Sorry, we are no longer allowing weddings, bachelor parties, high school or college groups, and any groups over 16 people (unless several are small children).

Features: Signature deck with outdoor gas grill, 9-person hot tub, outdoor shower and a luxury lower level with its own living area, tv, two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a bar and laundry. Upstairs features a full bathroom with 4'x6' shower with dual shower heads and three bedrooms, brand new and expanded kitchen open to and combined with the dining/four-seasons room with gas fireplace and living room.
The pond and waterfalls make this 2-acre property a retreat for all types of groups.
.
Spring and fall are my favorite times, but even winter is cozy in this getaway! Less than a mile to the beach, so you can walk, bike or drive. Three bikes are available for guests to use. Additional bike rentals are available during summer just down the street. There are also food trucks in the same location.
What makes this different from most homes in Beverly Shores is the location and lot size. We are close enough to the lake to make it an easy walk, bike or drive, but unlike homes close to the lake, this lot is two acres, which gives you a feeling of privacy while still being able to spread out.
The driveway is large and circular, so can accommodate several cars. The post office parking lot is adjacent and can be used after business hours. The owner also owns the post office building/site.

If you like to eat and don't want to grill all the time on site, The Goblin and the Grocer restaurant is open just two doors down. It is a focal point of post-beach activity or a great place for Bloody Mary's anytime of day! Next door is Dunes Antiques. These are our neighbors and they are great! Go shop and meet them!
Excessive noise, yelling, playing loud music is not tolerated, so if this is your style, you may want to pass on us.
The goal is for you and your friends, family or significant other to have a fantastic time in a safe, calm environment. The stream, waterfall and shade garden help with the tranquil mood. If you want more information, just email me!
Close to: Blue Chip Casino & Hotel, Four Winds Casino & Resort, Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall, Indiana National Dunes Beaches, Trails and Bike Trails and newly vibrant downtown Michigan City.

Girls Trip
This house was perfect for our girls trip. Plenty of room, huge table we could all sit at, hot tub was nice and hot. Communication with the owner was great. We were easily able to get Ubers into town and back.

Great Family Trip
We rented this home to celebrate my 40th birthday. The house was perfect. We loved gathering around the inside and outside tables to eat and drink. The hot tub was large and a family favorite. This home was clean and had extra items we didn’t even think we would need. The pictures of the small pond in the front of the property hardly capture how peaceful and beautiful that element is. The home is very close to the Dunes beach and the check in process was super easy. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Great vacation spot
The pictures don’t do this place justice. The landscaping and grounds are incredible. You feel like you are in a forest oasis. I stayed with a group of neighbors with toddlers and we all had a blast. We saw wild turkey with babies in the yard, played outside, grilled, and enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The rooms are not very large but we only used the rooms for sleeping and enjoyed the outside the most. I highly recommend!

Perfect family get together!
My extended family stayed at this wonderful Beverly Shores house for a combined birthday celebration - and everyone had a great time! The kitchen has everything you could need, the number of bathrooms is excellent, and the house has so many different areas for people to hang out (both separately and together). Then the outside areas couldn't be beat - the landscaping is beautiful, the lawn is enormous, the seating areas are great, and everyone loved the huge fire pit and hot tub! Plus the beach is super close. Mark was a great host, and we would definitely stay again.

Beautiful property
The house sits on a beautiful, wooded lot and the outdoor areas are meticulously maintained. The jacuzzi/hot tub wasn't fully functional, but because we didn't try it until the last day we didn't bother asking for it to be fixed. We had lots of fun times around the fire pit. Rooms are smaller than they look in pictures but the beds are comfortable, bathrooms and the kitchen have nice finishes, common areas indoors were on the small side for our group. Owner was very responsive to the 1-2 minor issues we had. Beverly Shores isn't very impressive, but there's very easy access to the Indiana Dunes and it's a short drive to conveniences like grocery stores and other towns that have more to do.
