Summary: Everything about this house met our extended family stay on Lake Michigan. We have stay numerous places in Michigan, but the Indiana location was like staying at a friends house. The appliance and house supplies far exceeded any other house we have stayed. We loved being so close to the National Park. Lots of areas to hike and explore. But most important was the close proximity to the beautiful sand beach only a 3 minute walk from the house.
