Mythology and the perfect beach holiday meet in this charming 2-story guest house that feels as though it were straight out of a fairy tale.

This house is perfect for families or small gatherings, with queen beds in two bedrooms and bunk beds in the other. The Trolls welcome your visit and, if you're quick, you may catch a glimpse of one inside the Troll Hole.

Loaded with games, toys, books, music, four TVs with and high-speed wifi this house is perfectly located across the street from the waterfall pond and a half-block walk from the pool, Lake Kai, and the new playground. A leisurely 5-minute walk to Lake Michigan on the pristine Indiana Dunes (national lakeshore) which is a top-rated beach where you can see the Chicago skyline on a clear day.

Enjoyable getaway

We spent two wonderful days with friends at Indiana Dunes. We loved the house, the village, proximity to the beach, the area restaurants and a winery that was a delight to spend a quiet afternoon at.

Perfect winter escape!

Took my small work team up for our planning sesh and we hunkered down at the cozy Trolls Den and got ‘er done. It was priced great and gave us all we needed. The host staff even shoveled the snow off our porch and under our car!! The greater Beachwalk community is beautiful and idyllic with the fresh snow and bright colored homes - we even bundled up and took a walk down to Lake Michigan and through neighborhood. #greatteammemories!!!

Family Christmas

We needed a second house for an expanding family. This was down the street from the larger house and worked very well. One thought- the headspace between the bunk beds is not large enough for adults to sleep there.

We always love our stay at the Troll’s Den!

We usually come to stay at the Troll’s Den at least once a year, sometimes twice! It is the perfect place for our little family! Everything is always perfect on our arrival, and Anders is very communicative during our stay if anything comes up.

Perfect Family Spot

Super location, super clean, super cute! We enjoyed sitting on the porch talking for hours, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were all comfortable, plenty of towels in bathrooms, and beach chairs available to use. We also took the bikes on a trail ride! Hosts were wonderful, we plan to come back in the near future 😊

We enjoyed our long weekend at the Trolls Den and the Beachwalk neighborhood. Very relaxing.

The rental process was seamless. Anders is great to work with. The property and the amenities were great to enjoy amongst our family. The location is also great to enjoy the National Dunes park and we even enjoyed a day trip to Chicago.
