Miller Beach House | Hike The Dunes Walk To Beach and National Park! 5BR, 2 Bath and Game Room

5 Bedroom House in Miller Beach, Gary

Just a short stroll to Lake Michigan’s sandy beach and steps away from the Indiana Dunes National Park, this big, comfy mid-century vibe entire home. Enjoy the best location in wild, wonderful Miller Beach, just 40 miles outside Chicago. Close to Methodist Hospitals, St.Marys Hospital, Porter Regional Hospital and Franciscan Hospital, BP Refinery, and all Steel Mills.
Our renovated mid-century getaway offers tons of vintage charm and all the modern comforts you crave. Perfect for small corporate groups, remote jobs, couples, family and friends, this is home base for exploring the Indiana Dunes National Park, the City, and Miller Beach all year 'round.
The space is entirely all yours during your stay.
The lodge is generously spread over two levels:
Upstairs, the vaulted ceilings, open living/dining area and charming eat-in kitchen invite your group to relax together. Three big bedrooms (including a kids’ bunk room) and a full bath are just down the hall.
Downstairs, enjoy a well-stocked TV/game room large enough for family Ping-Pong tournaments AND a casual second ‘picnic’ kitchen with grilling area right outside. Two more bedrooms(one with a dedicated work space) another bath, a tucked-away reading nook and a convenient laundry room complete the space.
Connecting the whole house is an open staircase and a vaulted entryway with a beach closet stocked with towels, coolers and carts for an easy day in the sun.
The backyard is uniquely terraced, and features a gas grill, a family picnic table, and a covered outside dining nook lit by Emerson Lights overlooking a wild, wooded dune and deep ravine. It’s like hanging out in a tree-house up in the forest canopy!
Our lodge's vibe is bright and comfortable, with a casual mid-century charm. Wherever possible, we've kept the house's nostalgic 1960s features intact, and we’ve filled it with vintage furnishings, decor, books and games.
But it’s also fully updated with central air, all new appliances (including a dishwasher and a sleek front-loading laundry pair), excellent bedding, a strong WIFI signal and a TV with Netflix and voice remote.
Questions? Ask us anything! We love our Miller Beach vacation home, and we're sure you will too.

Other things to note

One of the bedrooms is furnished with bunk beds intended for kids. The other four bedrooms can accommodate guests of all ages.

Summary: We had a group of 12 and this was a wonderful vacation home. It had a lot of character and while it was dated, it was charming and clearly loved and well taken care of. There were many small touches that were great (beach carts available, some basics in kitchen/bathroom) and the kids LOVED the ping pong table/game room downstairs. The location was perfect for us - we enjoyed walking to the beach and it was a very short drive to the National Park section we wanted to visit as well as the Indiana Dunes State Park. We would stay here again.
