About this house rental

Find your Zen at 5 Star rated Playa Zen North and experience the quiet healing power of nature. This beautiful 3 Bed/2 Bath spacious, modern home offers a one-of-a kind immersion in natural beauty, with soaring 15 foot windows overlooking an acre of wooded dunes in a park-like setting less than two blocks from the beach. Soak in the giant tub for two with a massive window, facing your private woods. The only sounds you’ll hear are birds, rustling leaves, and waves of Lake Michigan. Pups welcome!

Your friends and family will enjoy 15 ft. tall windows with a spectacular view, modern well equipped kitchen, open living space, stone fire pit under the trees, a large deck, family room with 80 inch smart tv, and a beautiful outdoor fire pit to hang out on those cooler nights.

Each bedroom features hotel quality mattresses for a comfortable night's rest after your day in the Dunes. Enjoy a relaxing soak in the giant tub for two in the primary bath or an invigorating shower with luxurious rain showerheads in both bathrooms.

Bring the pups and let them run free through an acre of private woods, there's even a dog access door that you can open or close depending on your preference.

Check out the extensive art collection from mostly local artists. One of Miller Beach’s oldest restaurants (with great Lake perch, steaks, and chops!) is walkable- less than a block away!

This nature lovers' retreat is surrounded by the nation’s newest national park to the east and west, and Lake Michigan to the north.

Bring your hiking boots: Miller Woods and Douglas Dunes- part of the nation’s newest national park- offer birding trails and specialty hikes in all seasons.

Hitting the trail is a great way to experience winter scenes at the Dunes. All trails are open for winter hiking except the Pinhook Bog Trail (the Upland Trail is open). The Paul H. Douglas Trail, Cowles Bog Trail, and West Beach Trails offer a variety of difficulty levels to experience winter hiking in the park. Experience a moonlight hike along the ridge of West Beach trail, one of over twenty nature trails traversing spectacular dunes and ethereal moonscapes.

Enjoy cross country skiing, snow shoeing or sledding in the National Park. At the end of the day, a bonfire under the stars or in the cozy indoor fireplace will be the perfect nightcap- bring the s'mores!

Whether you venture out into the surrounding parks or simply stay in, under the trees, you’ll leave feeling refreshed, enriched, and grounded the way nature intended.

The vacation home near Miller Beach in IN was comfortable and great a place to stay while we explored the Dunes and beaches. It was well stocked with everything from complete kitchen to linens and laundry as well as relaxing entertaininment via streaming TVs. We enjoyed the fire pit outdoors creating s'mores and memories of a wonderful time together. Our hostess was available to answer questions and guide us through this lovely area. Thanks for sharing your home!

House itself is very cool and stylish and comfortable in all areas. It’s early spring and the property yard and outdoor areas listed were not cleaned, wet and damaged or in unusable condition. Fortunately the windows clearly showed off the beautiful trees around the property from inside. Note the very large cleaning fee is not revealed on the listing.

Spent three nights for a visit to the Dunes, drive down to see eclipse and great walks on the beach. The house was perfect for our group of six and puppy. Plusses: Short walk to gorgeous beach! The yard was a perfect place for pup to play and get some energy out. Didn’t use the fire pit or grill but nice to have. Kitchen was well stocked and we made several meals. Beds were comfortable and extra blankets were available. Opps: One of the rooms the blinds were not blackout so kids woke up early but not the end of the world. Other: Read an earlier review that some of the art was semi-nude (including a mini-replica of Michelangelo’s David), so we were prepared with our kids. We had a great time and would definitely start again!
