About this property

A Wooded Retreat Michigan City - Mins to beaches, restaurants & more!

Cradled under the shade of giant oaks and minutes from the beach is your "Endless Weekend" retreat. This modern, spacious 1700 square foot home is the perfect location to escape to the woods or the shores of Lake Michigan. Every detail has been curated to create an eco-friendly respite from the bustle of city life. A perfect place to connect to nature, family, and friends. We are so excited to share this peaceful space with you!

Unwind and re-connect in this modern and spacious getaway home. Tucked away in the woods and less than a mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan, our home is your escape. If you're looking for an opportunity to relax and catch your breath-find it here. Wake up to beautiful deer just outside your window, or take a bike ride to the shore for the day. This space has become a sanctuary for us to re-connect with nature and one another, and we look forward to hosting you!

The space
Our home has been a place to re-charge and serve as a tranquil "getaway" to re-connect with each other, family/friends, and nature. This space is perfect for couples, solo trips, and family vacations. If you're looking for a home to host a party, however, this is not it. We believe strongly in creating a welcoming and inclusive space for others to breathe a bit deeper and designed our home with that in mind. The location is secluded yet close to everything you need. Outlet Shopping, restaurants, wineries, and breweries are all within a 10 minute drive. If you’d like to enjoy a live college football game, Notre Dame is just 40 minutes away.

You'll find large picture windows in nearly every room where you can expect to be greeted by the sun each morning (and occasionally by a family of deer in the back yard). Relax on the cozy screened in porch that is warmed with string lights as you overlook the fire pit.

The home is two-stories with brand new appliances, stacked washer/dryer and everything you need in the kitchen for cooking a gourmet meal. The radiant heat floors will keep you cozy in the winter and each room is equipped with split air-conditioning/heat units to customize your temperature needs. The first floor offers radiant heave for your cozy convenience!

SLEEPING-THREE BEDROOMS/FOUR TOTAL BEDS (windows facing neighbors all have window shades)

BATHROOMS
Who doesn't love a rainfall shower? Both bathrooms feature a rainfall shower, with the upstairs bathroom also including a deep soaking tub to help you relax. Both bathrooms include hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and extra products to make you feel at home.

LIVING ROOM
The downstairs living room is designed with intention and detail to ensure you have the best view no matter where you sit. The sliding glass doors will take you to the cozy screened in porch to enjoy your coffee/tea and leads you to the nature preserve in our backyard.

KITCHEN
Our open-concept kitchen has everything you need to whip up a meal or organize your take out boxes from one of our favorite local restaurants nearby. :) Equipped with brand new Samsung and Whirlpool appliances, Keurig Coffee, and everything else you need.

UPSTAIRS MEDIA LOUNGE
Journey upstairs and you'll find our absolute favorite part of the house: the couch. Enjoy the comfy couch and chaise while watching your favorite Netflix series on our 65 inch flat screen TV. With the trees just outside the window, you'll feel like you are in your very own movie theater tree house.

STEP OUTSIDE
Step outside the sliding glass doors to experience the beauty of the nature preserve that borders our property. Enjoy a quiet dinner at the picnic table or roast some marshmallows over the fire pit.

You'll have access to the full home and yard.

Other things to note

Beautiful Quality Property

I’ve stayed at a lot of short term rentals and I find that lots have beautiful photos but when you get there the actual quality of the furniture and property is subpar. This stay defied that expectation and more! The quality of the property matches and even exceeds the photos. The furniture was comfortable and functional and the kitchen was stocked and organized. I stayed with 5 other adults and an infant and everyone had ample space and slept wonderfully. We even enjoyed a bonfire on our last night in the backyard. And only 10 minutes from downtown Michigan City. I would absolutely stay again!

Weekend of Tranquility

We spent the weekend at the Wooded Retreat, and I wasn’t in any rush to leave! This beautiful, modern home had everything we could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. The description is spot on about the couches—once you sit down, you won’t want to move! It was the perfect place to unwind, chat, and play games while enjoying the stunning views from the spectacular windows overlooking the serene wooded property.Melanie and Marcel have created a space where time slows down—no rushing, no stress, just pure relaxation. My children absolutely loved exploring the outdoors, running through the woods, and embracing the freedom of nature, just as kids should.Beyond the beauty of the home, the owners’ thoughtfulness and attention to detail made the experience even more special. Their kindness and care ensure that every guest feels welcome. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape from the chaos of everyday life, this is the perfect place. We can’t wait to return!

Spacious Retreat

First, my communications with Melanie were the best I have every experienced while renting places to stay. Secondly, the home is set in a wooded quiet location, and looks brand new! The design is very spacious and comfortable. You will also enjoy the outdoor setting and wildlife. I will most definitely seek to rent here again when staying in the area. Thank you!
