2 Bedroom House in Michigan City

Elegant yet comfy, just blocks from Lake Michigan beaches in Michiana Shores, this fully renovated, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired cottage is a vacation dream on a quiet corner lot! Relax in the Great Room by the stone fireplace and flat-screen TV. Make meals in the high-end open galley kitchen. Both bedrooms are stylish and cozy. The all-new bathroom features a shower-bath with marble floors. Chill on the 3-season porch, grill on the sun deck, or gather around the firepit!
THE SPACE
Elegant-yet-comfy cottage
Sun deck, gas grill, outdoor shower, firepit
Close to the beach, parks, restaurants, and shops
Great Room with stone fireplace
High-end kitchen with top appliances
Two stylish bedrooms, ample storage
All-new bathroom with chic shower-bath
The mantra for once you walk inside Meadow Pines is "Stylish Design with Comfort in Mind!" The Great Room’s vaulted ceilings, skylights, solid wood flooring, and magnificent stacked-stone fireplace invite you to settle in with a sense of richness. Our award-winning designer has selected all of the furnishings—including in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and screened 3-season porch—to reflect an appealing, yet cozy aesthetic.
The fully equipped open galley kitchen is highlighted by top-of-the-line appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher, and cherrywood cabinets. Do we say "ooh-la-la"? Yep, we do! When you and your guests want to gather for a formal meal, there’s a sweet dining table out in the 3-season porch area where you can enjoy whatever marvelous meal gets prepared. Guests love the stained-glass window decor and artisan craftsmanship that’s on obvious display throughout the cottage, reminiscent of the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Uh-huh, we think you’ll be tickled, too.
Featuring top-quality bedding and linens, plus hand-selected accessories and décor, you and your guests will sleep soundly and enjoy sweet dreams in either of the two richly appointed bedrooms. Each has ample closet and storage space, too. One bedroom also has sliding glass door access to the sun deck.
SLEEPING CONFIGURATION
Bedroom 1: Queen bed
Bedroom 2: Queen bed
The Meadow Pines’ bathroom is all-new with a metro-out-in-the-country sense of styling. The chic shower-bath is highlighted by a marble-with-beach-pebbles floor. All your essentials are provided for, as well. Plus, there’s a primo stackable washer-dryer combo to handle all your laundry needs.
When you want some outdoor relaxation time, we’ve got you covered. The sun deck has a sweet dinette set with an umbrella for shade, plus way-nice chaise lounges for some reclining R-and-R whenever the mood strikes. The gas grill out there is perfect for cooking up your favorite barbecue dishes. As evening rolls around, sit yourself down in one of the classy Adirondack chairs with a favorite beverage in hand, and chat with your friends or count shining stars to your heart’s content! If you like, there are beach supplies and bikes for you to ride, too. Speaking of beach stuff, once you get back from the beach and want to rinse off, there’s a cool outdoor shower!
Besides being just a stone’s throw from a majestic Lake Michigan beach, you’re also a 10-minute drive away from enjoying the many activities afforded by the region’s largest recreational harbor in New Buffalo, all sorts of woodland, lake, and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore, nearby Oselka Park (which has baseball fields, playground equipment, and tennis courts), or the many popular restaurants, galleries, and boutique shops of downtown New Buffalo—all just a hop, skip, and a jump from Michiana Shores. In Michigan City, just 5 miles away, you and your guests will find a wide range of options for eating, drinking, vacation activities, and places to explore. One last treat to check out is within walking distance—Stop 50 Wood Fired Pizzeria, which cooks up some of the best pizza you’ll ever eat, as well as all sorts of other Italian goodies! By the way, we should also mention that Meadow Pines is pet-friendly; just be sure to let us know in advance if you’re bringing a four-legged friend.

Summary: This is a very cute little house. Everything was clean and in good shape and looked like the listing. They also had coffee and plenty of basics for the visit, which I highly appreciate, and newish bed linens. It’s in a nice community with a good wood fired pizza place a few blocks away. Only negatives are that it is VERY small - the bathroom and one bedroom in particular. And it’s a 15-20 minute walk to the nearest beach, which has zero parking. We ended up taking a car to ferry the kids and all our gear, then driving home and taking one of the bikes in the garage back to the beach.
