Family-friendly holiday rentals in Merrillville

This was our third time staying at this property and we’re looking forward to stay again next time we’re in Chicago. Hans was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The place is spacious and comfortable. It’s quite, full equipped kitchen and nice backyard. I highly recommend this place

We made a last minute booking and the host was very responsive. The house was great had everything we needed and we had an amazing time.

Booked this for a last minute trip. Home was extremely clean, area was peaceful and quiet, and in walking distance to the lake. Woukd definitely book again!

Such a fun weekend! Location to beach and other fun activities was fantastic! Very cute cottage with all the amenities we needed. Thanks, Jennifer!!

This is the second year I rented this place for my birthday weekend away with friends. The house has so many accommodations for sleeping and different sitting areas. However, the main event is the kitchen. My friends and I love to cook and that's why we came back a second year in a row. The kitchen is unbelievably well-stocked with anything you might need to cook. There are multiple sinks so someone can be cooking while someone else cleans. The layout is perfect for people to hang out with whoever is cooking. There are two ovens. It is a dream. The house feels comfortable and lived-in, and it feels like there has been a lot of thought and intention focused on the user-experience. Cannot say enough nice stuff about this house, cannot recommend enough. Will be coming back for my 29 birthday.

This was a very nice home for our large family of eight adults and nine children for a four night stay. A five minute drive to Weko beach, a beautiful sandy beach on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed visiting the farmer's market, one mile down the road on Sunday, open from 9 a.m.-early afternoon. Mikey's drive-in, serving burgers, fries, ice cream, etc., is directly across the road from the property. The very large back yard with hot tub and fire pit was a bonus. On the couple of occasions that I emailed Rebecca with a question or comment during our stay, she was very promptly responsive. Our family would stay at this property again.

Very peaceful to stay put here--bring what you need and stay in these beautiful surroundings among birds and gardens and an art-filled home. Or spend time on nearby beaches and trails, wander the nearby small-town shops and nice variety of restaurants and look forward to a hot tub soak and campfire. Donna's home is welcoming and inspiring!

Thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to us for our getaway trip. It was the perfect place for an out of town trip. I’ll definitely be recommending your place to friends, and I hope to return in the future.

This place was super adorable. My friends and I needed a weekend away and this was the perfect place. Everything was super clean. There’s coffee, teas, all sorts of cookware to use, it was just super easy. It’s the name on the board when you walk in was a great touch. Hope to stay here again soon and highly recommend!!

I would highly recommend Dennis' place. It was super clean. Had all the amenities you may want. Close to a lot of places yet quiet. We felt totally safe and loved the balcony.

Absolutely recommend this place! It is warm and cozy, with a massive backyard which was great for our dogs to play in and for us to relax in! It feels very private and has such a unique vibe! Ann was amazing, she was kind, friendly, and gave incredible recommendations! Mason Jar Cafe is a MUST! Highly recommend and hope to return soon!

There was plenty of space for our family and it was close to a lot of great/fun things to do during our trip to Michigan City, IN!

Place was just as described. Easy instructions to enter and house manual was clear. Steve checked in to ensure all was well upon arrival

The Place was clean and quiet. Beautiful trees surround the area. I am familiar with the New Buffalo and Union pier area. It was right in the middle of all the Restaurants. Sunroom was a great hang out. Yard was a large and private space to hang out and get a fire going. Of course, the koi fish was an extra bit of enjoyment, watching them. Would highly recommend this rental.

We absolutely loved this little cabin! It’s actually way more spacious than it looks on the outside. Very peaceful and feels like camping! We love how close it was to the beach/dune area and found THE best ice cream shop just right down the road! Definitely planning to come back!

Excellent stay and valuable advice from Emilia when we needed it

Rented this property for a celebration with my book club. There were 10 of us and we were all very comfortable with our accommodations. The hot tub was great. Location was close to the Lake and we were able to walk the shore. The kitchen was well appointed. We ate most of our meals in and were able to cook quite easily. Would rent again

We had a great stay! The house was perfect. It was nice and clean with a great rooftop deck and screened in porch. The location could not have been better, walking distance to everything in town. Everything was easy as far as check in and check out with a book explaining everything in the house. Mark was great at responding to questions. I would highly recommend staying here.

My girlfriends and I had a great stay! Ann’s place was peaceful and beautiful. We enjoyed relaxing outside, watching the animals and soaking in the hot tub. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful house with a stunning view, and walking distance from the beach.

Such a cute home. Right across the road from the Warren dunes. Easy to get back and forth with a bicycle. The cutest little ice cream shop right next door. Bed was comfortable and the bunk beds are roomy. Would definitely stay here again.

Tom and Charyl were amazing hosts ! We had open communication throughout our stay and even got a tour upon our arrival. The airbnb was everything as described and more ! The pool was incredible and the airbnb was only a 5 minute drive to the nearest beach. They even had a binder of recommendations available to us of local attractions/things to do. Our expectations were exceeded for this trip, and we can’t wait to come back !

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautifully decorated and incredibly comfortable home. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home — every detail was thoughtfully designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The space was spotless, stylish, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our experience was the exceptional management team. They were extremely kind, friendly, and responsive, making everything seamless from check-in to check-out. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality!

This is our 5th year of vacationing in New Buffalo and have stayed at Missy's place on 3 of those visits! The house works beautifully for our family (7 adults and 4 kids under 6 yo) and you're never tripping over each other, which makes it so relaxing! We'll be back!!
