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!

We are on the road a lot for work. Been using this app since last year. Rob and Carrie, were great hosts. Very friendly and upfront. My crew was very happy. In fact one of my men took fishing equipment. Great hosts and set up

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.

We love this house! It’s an older house but very well kept! I am up working in the area and needed a place to stay on short notice! Luckily the host was very responsive and accommodating! We booked the place and moved in the same day! Wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning! The house was beautiful and extremely clean, the master bed was so comfy and the backyard was perfect for our pup to run around in. The location was also perfect and in a peaceful area, but also only about 10 minutes to New Buffalo and some amazing restaurants! I would definitely recommend and can’t wait to book our next trip back here!!

Jamie was a really amazing host! She was friendly, helpful, caring and went over and beyond to make sure me and my kids were comfortable and had everything we need. Gave us lots of great recommendations to restaurants and as a first timer in Chicago she made sure I was aware of the traffic and other helpful information! My kids LOVE her she was vey nice, patient and gentle with them. Kid friendly house/area VERY quiet. The beds are the BEST after a long day of traveling very comfortable. The place was beautiful very nice decor and nicely maintained. We will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Chicago.

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!

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.

Awesome stay! Booked here for a nice relaxing weekend get away where we wouldn’t need to travel to have fun. That is exactly what this place offered. Great pool & hot tub, and house has plenty of room making it feel relaxing and gives everyone plenty of space. Easy walk down to the beach - you get to leverage the private side of the beach which is very very nice. Overall great stay and will look to book again!

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!
