Christmas Celebration
We had rented this property last year for our family Christmas and were so happy with it, we did so again this year. It was perfect, as expected. So many amenities we didn’t even get a chance to use. Wonderful host, location and space for 11 adults, 1 toddler, and a geriatric dog. We will definitely rent again and everyone thought we should try to meet up in the summer sometime.

A great stay at Miller Beach
We had a great trip to Miller Beach. Margaret’s house was as described. Lots of board games, plus pool, ping pong and air hockey were great for the kids. Check in was easy and her communication was quick.

Sports weekend!
My family stayed her during a swimmeet for my daughter in nearby Hobart. It served as a perfect home base. The host was super helpful during check-in and the house was immaculate. We’d definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay so much in 2022, that we came back in 2023 for Thanksgiving gathering of extended family. Love the quiet location near the beach of Lake Michigan and Chicago skyline views from the nearby park

Loved the house, it was great for a family stay! Kids had a blast with all the amenities. Wish the sprinklers didn't go off Sunday morning, made the yard unusable for most of the day.

Great house for large group
Open floor plan kitchen perfect for hosting with three levels to spread out families/groups. 5 minute walk to the smooth, sandy, lakeside beach. Host communicates well and house is as pictured. End of July to beginning of August felt almost private at the beach during the week.

Good place for a crowd
It is tough to find a comfortable place to get together with a very big family, but this place was awesome. Beach and playgrounds just a few minutes walk away. Backyard space. Giant kitchen and laundry - crucial with this many people and kids.

Spacious house for multiple families
This was a great rental with plenty of room for 3 families and our mother (7 adults and 7 kids). The house was modern, stocked with essentials, and had plenty of entertainment opportunities and ample parking spaces. The host was always quick to reply and very accommodating. Easy walk to the beach was a great bonus!

Great multi-family house
This house had plenty of room for our family reunion. There are several large common spaces, ample dining room and kitchen space, and having two master suites and two bunk rooms was ideal. Close to a lot of great beaches. Had a minor issue with water coming under a door after a heavy storm, but the owners were very responsive and addressed it immediately. We enjoyed our stay and would come again.

Great family stay
This was the first time that my family and I have been together in over a year because of the pandemic. We could not have chosen a better property, it is a very clean and updated property with a lot of things to do that whole family could enjoy. My family and I are truly grateful for this experience and we would come back again. Thanks

Selected and used to attend a local wedding. Perfect size for extended family including multiple levels to have hair and make-up for the wedding party. Nice big kitchen with adequate wares. Area is a little iffy but the location of the house seemed safe enough. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely space with multiple comfortable sitting areas for conversation, game-playing, watching TV. Used the well appointed kitchen for preparing Thanksgiving dinner. Loved the bathroom features--overhead mounted rain shower heads, and grand soaking tub in the king size suite. Easy walk to lakefront beach and lovely Marquette Park

Our yearly family outing
This place was beautiful; exceptionally clean and very spacious for a family of 11. The pool table, ping pong and air hockey was an added benefit. We liked that each level had it's own area to hang out. The kitchen was well supplied and lots of seating. The yard is beautiful. It was an easy walk to the beach and to the bike/walking path near the park. Our family voted this their favorite Labor Day place to stay to date. The owner was very prompt in answering questions.
