Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Portage

My wife and I have stayed at many vacation home rentals over the years, this one was one of the very best! First, I booked they house late afternoon on the day we wanted to arrive. Sarah responded immediately, accepted our booking and got me the access code to the property. It was all done within a few minutes! The house was beautifully decorated (my wife loved it and she is a designer!), well appointed and located very conveniently to all of the places we wanted to spend our time. We loved the hot tub, used the sauna almost every morning and our Golden Doodle loved the big fenced in back yard. Sarah and Brady are unbelievably responsive to needs too! One evening we wanted to enjoy the fire pit, but they were out of fire starters. I contacted Sarah at 7:36p, she responded at 7:37p and by 7:51 Brandy had already dropped a box of fire starters on the front porch! What?!?!?! Amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this place, we will be back!

An absolutely beautiful stay! Many amenities to make it a comfortable stay! Beautifully decorated! Comfortable bed! Wonderful nights spent n the relaxing hot tub! Enjoyed a great fire pit one night too. Loved the private beach-so peaceful and relaxing! Looking forward to coming back!

This is the second time we've stayed in Nancy's lovely home and we hope to return soon! The contemporary style features high ceilings and enormous windows overlooking a wooded lot and a graceful dune. The generous size of the living area and kitchen made it easy for our family to hang out together after a day in the Indiana Dunes National Park. You're only minutes from the lake, great hiking, and a restaurant we really enjoyed (Goblin and the Grocer) but the secluded, private setting makes you feel as if you're in the middle of nowhere ... perfect for city folks trying to get away from it all. Nancy is a great host, and her home features plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. After a day of hiking and exploring, it was wonderful to return to this tranquil place. We can't wait to go back!

I enjoyed my stay. It was clean and pleasant. Marilyn was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions I had. I would recommend staying at this Airbnb! Great time!

This was such a cute, cozy, and clean place to stay for a weekend trip! The house provided everything we did need and anything we could have needed. Hosts went above an beyond to make sure we were welcomed, including a personal note and bottle of wine, and they checked in to ensure everything met our expectations. Location were close to all attractions and was in a nice neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again!

Great private space on a quiet street. Lots of breweries and restaurants a quick drive away. Amenities were just as described and the space is in great condition.

this was the first time using the platform. The communication with the host was absolutely phenomenal, even offering to help with any questions I might have using the app. I rate them the highest possible on every account because of the stellar job that they did. The house was very nicely put together and absolutely stunning. The location of the home is perfect for a variety of things in Michigan City and is very much appreciated. I highly recommend the house and its location as well as the wonderful host.

We had a great weekend getaway from Chicago and it was less than an hour (without traffic) away! Peaceful, quiet, near the beach. Cullen was an awesome host!

We really enjoyed our stay here! Perfect for two people. This place is really cute and unique. Love the decor and seeing all the cool art projects. This place was within a couple miles of all the places we wanted to see, especially Soldier Field, so a Uber/taxi ride was cheap and very convenient. Super cute neighborhood too with beautiful row houses both modern and original. It is a nice quiet neighborhood as well and we felt very safe! We would recommend the Iklektik/Blue Jay house to anyone visiting Chicago that wants a comfortable and cozy experience!

We stayed on the third floor of the complex and enjoyed Matthew's attention to detail. He gave a lot of thought to all components of his property.

Cute apartment, close to downtown Bridgman. Check in and out was very easy. Larry was communicative. I would definitely stay there again.

We truly had the best time staying at Alec’s. The space is lovely, comfortable, and has everything you’d need. The outdoor spaces were beautiful and private with a high fence surrounding it. We enjoyed spending time by the fire and the neighborhood is great. Our favorite part by far were Alec’s two lovely pups Molcajete and Lobita. They were absolute ANGELS and made us so happy- we hated leaving them. Alec was a great host- super communicative, friendly, and just what we needed. When we come back to Chicago, we’ll definitely stay with him again.

5 star for sure! This place is a hidden gem, its so clean and has so many little extras to make you feel at home. I found seasoning to cook with,.coffee, tea, cream and sugar..and even a couple of pods for laundry. All of that plus an easy check-in, great parking space in the back (which you will need since street parking can be dicey) and the friendly neighbors made my stay wonderful. I stayed 7 nights and it is quiet at night so I felt very safe and got a good nights rest each night. I will definitely book again!!!

We had an awesome long weekend at Morton's Retreat. We loved visiting Three Oaks and Sawyer, and going on a few short hikes nearby. We especially loved grabbing drinks at the Historian. The Airbnb is on a busy road, but there is a bike path that runs by it and it's a short walk to Luisa's Swedish bakery, which was excellent. The place was clean and even a bit larger than we expected. Great for a relaxing long weekend.

This was my first time booking with Airbnb and all I can say is that it could not have been a better experience! Aaron was so nice and beyond helpful. The apartment was the perfect size for my husband and I. It is in a good location, we were able to get to anything we needed or wanted with just a short walk. Not only that but the building itself was so cool, the lobby is beautiful and the amenities were spectacular. We ventured to the rooftop many times because of how nice and peaceful it was. We attended a concert at the Aragon Ballroom and it’s the first time we’ve not stressed about how to make the trip there and back. It was maybe a 3-5 minute walk at most! Overall it was beyond what I was expecting. If available, anytime we will be in the area this will be our first choice!!

Exactly as described, just what I was looking for. Convenience of proximity to the Blue Line made it very easy for me to check off all the things I wanted to do during my stay. Thanks so much.

We had a fabulous time! It was the perfect spot for a quiet and peaceful getaway. Patti was so kind and responsive - a perfect host. There were many spots to sit and enjoy the view. We loved the fire pit and were so grateful that it was all set and ready to use. I could go on and on about how wonderful it was. We highly recommend it!!! We will definitely be back!

Amazing, peaceful, and relaxing. We spent my sister’s bachelorette weekend at the Buffalo house and it couldn’t be a better location for our Parent Trap themed weekend. The walk to the beach was short and easy. And the beach was amazing. We went to nearby New Buffalo for shops and food and it was wonderful. Couldn’t recommend this home and location enough!

This house is so peaceful and surrounded by nature. It was the perfect size for my husband and me. We loved the record player and hammock. We will definitely be back!

Our family loves coming to this cabin. It is a wonderful place to stay with the great amenities such as the pond stocked with fish, the fire pit, grill, and walkable trails. It is such a nice place to stay and relax in the outdoors with the comfort of a cozy clean cabin to enjoy.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home tucked away in a peaceful rural setting. The house was full of charm and character, and the surrounding mature woods made it feel like a true escape. It's conveniently located near Three Oaks and New Buffalo, both of which offered plenty of great activities, dining, and local charm. Our dogs loved the space just as much as we did—especially the nearby dog beach! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and pet-friendly getaway.

I've had many airbnb stays, but Jason's place was one of the best of all time. Truly, a near perfect experience for my family (wife and two young kids). The house was clean, stylish, comfortable, thoughtful stocked ... all those things, of course. But there was something magical about it, too, nestled inside the woods of Tryon Farms. Our favorite spot in the house was the screened-in back porch in the morning and evenings *chef's kiss*. Why wouldn't you book this today??

This was the second property of Hannah’s I stayed at during my getaway. The location was secluded and perfect for those looking for some isolation. The house was very clean and adorably decorated. Hannah was also incredibly considerate in her communication and provided a seamless check-in and check-out process. I can’t wait to visit again!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was clean and cozy, exactly what we were looking for. The hot tub was relaxing and the bed was super comfy. We had a hard time getting the gas fireplace working, but Jeremiah and Tracey responded quickly and we got it going easily with further instruction.
