This is our 2nd year to rent this lovely home. It is so spacious and enough room for our family. A well equiped kitchen, and plenty of seating for us to eat and play table games. Comfy beds. There are areas to sit and read or sit on the porch or do a puzzle. The piano is a plus. Lots of inside activitties, pool, pingpong, air hockey table for the kids if the weather is not favorable. An easy walk to the beach, great bike path nearby, frisbee golf, and hot tub.

House is beautiful, kitchen was great and the porch was amazing!! One of the best places we’ve stayed to host a family reunion. Plus, it’s walking distance to our favorite lake. Thank you!!

Seven families had a great week-long reunion. A picture on Houzz shows the lower level bedroom has a door to the outside; bikes and other gear can come in and out without having to navigate stairs! From our 3-year-old to our 75-year-old, we loved using the ping-pong table. We couldn't find the cornhole (nor the hammock), but we found an unexpected bocce ball set! The overstuffed chairs near the pool table were worn and superfluous; the oversized bean bag chair got a lot more use. On the back lawn we played our croquet set and enjoyed the hot tub. We took the beach wagon to the beach, which was delightful. The clothes washer was out of order. The bedroom on the lower level has no closet, nor any place to hang clothes, so we used the mudroom coat hooks. We enjoyed dining on the wrap-around porch, using two large tables. However, the door from the kitchen to the porch is hard to open and close, so going back for seconds was tedious. Reviews mentioning that door date back to 2021. The piano is in better shape than we expected; thanks, Margaret, for getting it in shape! The coffee table in the upper section of the first floor was great for jigsaw puzzles. Our young kid's favorite area was the living room on the second floor; they reconfigured the couch cushions as houses, a bank, and a "marketplace". Despite adjusting the thermostats, the second floor was too warm and the lower level was too cool. These quibbles aside, we loved Casa Blanca and will seriously consider returning.

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.

Margaret's home was SO beautiful and comfortable for my family - there were 10 of us ranging in ages from 3 to 76! My husband and I enjoyed our morning coffee on the front porch, listening to the birds and watching the deer stroll by. Our two families from Texas and Virginia met in Miller Beach to explore Indiana Dunes National Park. The park and the beaches are stunning. The home was a great location for these activities. We were not too familiar with the Gary, Indiana area living so far away, and admittingly were a little worried as we were just a couple miles away from the house and the surrounding area looked a bit abandoned. Once we got to the home and explored the neighborhood, we felt safe and right at home. We did have to drive to Merrillville (25 mins away) to find a more robust grocery store, which wasn't a huge deal. All in all, we had a wonderful stay! Thanks for the hospitality Margaret!

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!

The property was wonderful. We loved the main living area where we could all gather for visiting, cooking, eating, play games, etc. and have plenty of room for all 9 of us and a baby and dog. Had great amenities which we didn’t get around to using. Had everything on the kitchen you might need and more. All was clean, well kept and great outdoor areas which we would have enjoyed if the weather had cooperated. Will definitely keep this in mind for a future get together.
