About this house rental

This cabin in the woods is your PERFECT ESCAPE destination. This cozy cabin sleeps 10-12 comfortably (recommended 8 adults max for ideal comfort)--called BIG BEAR and also has an available guest house --called LITTLE BEAR-- for an extra rate if you need the space (2-4 additional). This is just a few minutes drive from Lake Michigan so you can still have your beach getaway, but enjoy the private residence when off the beach. Instagram @blackberrycabin
**PLEASE NOTE- 4 bedrooms in main house (BIG BEAR), 1 bedroom and pull out couch in guest house (LITTLE BEAR)**

This is the perfect spot for a reunion of friends or family. Approximately an hour and fifteen minutes from Chicago. This has the best of both worlds, easy to get to beach, while providing a private backyard space for year round enjoyment. Comfortable home style with a fully equipped kitchen (we cook a lot), lots of space, and open concept.

We supply bed linens and bath towels. We have a few beach towels stored in master bath, but it wouldn't hurt to bring more. Garage has bikes, beach gear, and a sand box to keep the kids entertained all weekend. Outside there is firewood that you can use for fires.

There is central A/C and heat. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles (easy to fit 5-6 cars), so just bring food & drinks & you're set! Property has Weber Grill and Smoker, as well as a fireplace inside and a fire pit outside.
Beach, boating, and BBQ are all right here! The beach, antique shops, wineries, breweries, distilleries, outlet malls, and dozens of other must-do destinations are all just miles away! Very kid friendly, with toys and crib on-site.

Michigan City Beach, New Buffalo, and Long Beach are all beach destinations just minutes away.

The property has hiking trails connecting to the back yard that allow you to hike miles through the private woods. The woods back up to a train track that has a 2-5 trains go by a day, a favorite time of day for our kiddos to watch the cars go by! Occasional train whistle can be heard from indoors- never a complaint in our long history of renters but like to mention so you’re aware.

Minutes to apple picking, peach, blueberry and pumpkin farms. Three Oaks about a 15 minute drive.

More activities and property guide on site upon check in.

Guest house (LITTLE BEAR) available for an additional cost. Please note to owner you would like this if you do, and she will adjust rate. This sleeps 4 (1 bedroom with King bed, queen pull out couch, washer/dryer, and a kitchen that includes a sink and small refrigerator.

Our family (8 adults and 2 young kids) used both cabins and had a wonderful long-weekend stay. The place was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked, and the host couldn't have been more accommodating. We especially appreciated their providing beach towels, and a great selection of games and toys that the grandchildren put to good use.

We took a family trip for my daughter’s 30th birthday with all the grandkids. The home was beautiful and clean and was exceptionally equipped for young children. They had toys, a crib and everything you pretty much needed. They had everything that we needed to cook with. Everything you pretty much Needed for cooking to beach towels to bug spray and wood for the fire. It’s probably the most equipped home we’ve ever been to that we’ve stayed at had everything we needed. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this place to stay at. It was close to everything we wanted to see and do.

This house was great for our family; 3 couples, 2 with a toddler and a single person. We had lots of space and several great gathering areas indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was well appointed so we were able to fix our meals with ease and we all fit around the dining room table so we could share our meals. There were two big baskets of toys for the toddlers that kept them very entertained plus a large trunk of table games for us. There’s a very nice washer and dryer so we could keep our beach towels clean. The outdoor space is very private with a deck; screened in porch and firepit. The beach was only 15 minutes away as were the restaurants and shopping areas. The one draw back to our stay was the train track that ran near the property: several Amtrack trains came through each day and evening. Overall this is a great house to rent and the owners were a pleasure to work with.

Our family of 11 met here for 5 days together. This cabin is well equipped, very clean, and sits in the middle of beautiful woods. There were toys for the children, a screened in porch, and a large back yard with lots of room to run. It was very pleasant.
