About this House

AVAILABLE NOV 1 - APRIL 30. This is a four to six month rental, dates flexible.
Do you work in Chicago or South Bend, but prefer nature to city life? Experience the quiet healing power of Miller Beach, less than an hour's commute to Chicago or South Bend. This beautiful 3 Bed/2 Bath spacious, modern home offers a one-of-a kind immersion in natural fall and winter beauty, with soaring 15 foot windows overlooking a full acre of wooded dunes in a park-like setting less than two blocks from the beach. The only sounds you'll hear are birds, rustling leaves, and the waves of Lake Michigan.

This fall and winter 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 or snow skis: Miller Woods and Douglas Dunes- part of the nation's newest national park- offer groomed trails and cross country ski rentals, and their well-kept nature trails delight birdwatchers of all seasons.

The fully furnished three bedroom 2 full bath home features a gas start wood burning fireplace, 15 ft. tall windows with a spectacular view, modern kitchen, open living space, stone fire pit under the trees, romantic Jacuzzi, two porches, walk out lower level family room with 80 inch smart tv, huge soaking tub, fantastic fall and winter light, stainless/ granite, WD, and all the modern amenities.

Check out the extensive art collection from mostly local artists. Miller Beach's two oldest restaurants (with great Lake perch, steaks, and chops!) are walkable- less than a block away! Bring the pups and let them run free through an acre of private woods. The home is in a very walkable section of Miller Beach. One block from two of the most iconic local restaurants and two blocks to the beach and beautiful walking trails!
