Beautiful Family Cottage in Beachwalk-Grill-AC-Free Wifi-Kids Haven.

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. The Troll's Den sleeps 6 people with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, full kitchen, and laundry facilities. 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.

The Troll's Den is located in the Beachwalk, an award-winning resort community in Michigan City, Indiana, where there is activities aplenty right outside your doorstep.

*pool
*tennis courts
*basketball courts
*volleyball court

*Washington Park
*Zoo
*Blue Chip Casino
*Premium Outlets Mall with over 120+ stores

From the Friday before Memorial Day through October 1, there is a 3-night minimum and all guests must purchase resort passes, which cost $15 per person. There is a $5 parking cost per car.

Cleanliness has always been a top priority for our company. If you've stayed with us before, you may have seen this during your visits. Our cleaning and infection control processes were put in place so that when you visit our homes at the Beachwalk, they are both safe and comfortable.

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 😊

Clean, charming, wonderful location…just perfect!!
My husband, adult son and I stayed in the Troll’s Den. It was so charming, had everything we needed for our stay plus more. It was very clean, exceptionally maintained and well stocked. The Beachwalk is a great community. Although it was off season, we enjoyed the walk to the beach. The owners live right next door, we had the pleasure of meeting them. They take great pride in their properties and it shows. This was our first time in the area, we will be back!

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.

Great stay
We had a great time in this Beachwalk property. The house was very clean and just as described. The shower was nice and hot. So nice to have linens, towels and basic kitchen supplies provided - even tea bags. We stayed here while attending a nearby birding festival and it was very convenient. Thank you Anders for hosting us.
