First impression was poor. House was not well kept. The out door furniture was filthy and deck area unkept. The house was clean enough, however, the house needs work. The shower was horrible. The couch was very uncomfortable. The beds were comfortable. The temperature never cooled lower than 74. It was very warm the whole stay. Would not stay there again.
This rental was nothing like the listing portrayed. The exterior was completely run-down, which likely explains why there are no outside pictures. The home had a strong musty smell, outdated furniture, and a dingy, unclean feel. The floors felt soft and unstable in places, making us question the structural integrity. Some light switches worked, others didnât, and the bathroom setup was makeshift and dirty.We didnât stay more than an hourâjust long enough to find alternative accommodations. When we reached out to the owner, offering to pay for one night and requesting a refund for the second, we were only offered a credit for another one of their properties, which we had no interest in.Extremely disappointing experience. We would not recommend this rental.
2 of my close friend and I decided to get away for a short stay not too far from home. We had a great relaxing time. This place had everything we needed, short distance from everything. This place was clean and easy to find. The neighborhood felt safe. Even though the place below this apartment looks abandoned.
Everything was exactly as it said it was online. The space was clean and quiet. Itâs decorated lovely and was great for a mini girls trip.
Only recommendation is to add another lock to the door that locks from the inside, it would make guests feel safer. Nothing happened but as two female guests it was concerning not have that in place.
The good: itâs spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. The decor was nicely done and felt cozy.
Neutral: the property is old and in need of maintenance. Itâs very close to the railroad track and the whole house shakes when a train goes through.
The bad: The bathroom situation is awful. The shower is rigged up and secured with wooden post toppers. The frame rigged around the tub was bent and there was no way to fully close the curtain to shower without getting water all over the bathroom. Plus being tall people meant we were taller than the shower curtain. The property needs a lot of maintenance and the deck and stairs are not properly secured to the building, which didnât feel safe.
Overall: it was a decent property but not worth the $300 a night I paid.
The property was ok. The house needs a LOT of work. Outside especially. Run down! Didnât give us the best feeling pulling up!! The shower was a train wreck. Water everywhere due to poor functionality. Older kitchen. Decor was cute. Beds comfortable. Neighborhood a little sketchy. Close and convenient to beach though. I probably wouldnât stay here again.
We just needed one night to recover from our day at Indiana Dunes before we headed out of town. It was a great spot. The decor is so cute. Beds were comfortable. Everything worked just fine. We had a little trouble with the key code on the door when we checked in, but the host was VERY responsive and quick. Hardly a moment of delay accessing the property.
We had such an amazing experience with this property and the host. She was very responsive and was so accommodating to some extra requests I had. We would stay again for sure!
The VRBO was in a very convenient location for my activities. It was clean, quiet, comfy, & had a well stocked kitchen with dishes, utensils, & pots & pans since I enjoy cooking my own meals.
Four of us from childhood get together every summer for a two night stay at a drivable location. This year we picked Michigan City and stayed at the Treehouse! We had a fun time. We needed two bedrooms and the living area was spacious. We had a fun time in Michigan City.
Cute place, but older and not in the best neighborhood. Pretty outdoor space and close to things!
The property was cute and felt private. The bathroom was not very functional and the shower situation was very old and not good water pressure at all. The beds all squeaked quiet a bit at night and so did the doors. Someone was arrested outside across the street from from the place the first night which was concerning, but it was right next to downtown and the beach so it was easy to get to places and a relatively quiet street. We enjoyed the shopping and eating options.
Overall feel of the place was cute and cozy, we loved the deck and all read outside and enjoyed the space. Not as clean as I could have hoped. We cooked in the kitchen and it had lots of utensils for us to use.
The treehouse was cute and bigger than expected. The location was convenient. We had take out from the Mexican restaurant across the street several times. Great homemade offerings. Short drive to the beach. We had a great stay. Other reviews mention they would like the window on the door covered and I agree. The commercial space below is currently unoccupied.
