Enjoyable getaway

We spent two wonderful days with friends at Indiana Dunes. We loved the house, the village, proximity to the beach, the area restaurants and a winery that was a delight to spend a quiet afternoon at.

Great spot and community

Host was excellent. Very communicative, rules were outlined and easy to follow. Able to find everything pretty easily. Was clean and plenty of space. Would love to come back and stay with more seasonably and warm weather (visited in March) ! The proximity to the beech and the resort community is a great spot w many amenities.

We always love our stay at the Troll’s Den!

We usually come to stay at the Troll’s Den at least once a year, sometimes twice! It is the perfect place for our little family! Everything is always perfect on our arrival, and Anders is very communicative during our stay if anything comes up.

Family weekend

Just a quick weekend with my family. We had a wonderful time, my kids had fun playing board games and watching movies with their cousins. We walked to the beach, although, it was cold but it was lovely. It was definitely a wonderful trip. Would do it again.

My favorite stay so far

I cannot speak highly enough for our stay. I have traveled a lot; this by far blew my mind. This amazing community a diamond in the rut. The hosting family very helpful with my technological challenges and went above and beyond to make it magical for my girls. Everything well equipped and very clean. I would recommend to anyone. We had the best time!

Perfect Family Spot

Super location, super clean, super cute! We enjoyed sitting on the porch talking for hours, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were all comfortable, plenty of towels in bathrooms, and beach chairs available to use. We also took the bikes on a trail ride! Hosts were wonderful, we plan to come back in the near future 😊

Beachwalk community

We love this area of Michigan City. This is our 3rd trip here. First time at the The Trolls Den which is perfectly located within the Beachwalk community. You’ll have plenty of activities to enjoy during your stay and access to the nice beach! The owner is very responsive and seems to aim to ensure your stay is great!

Great House and Beautiful Community

Great trip! Property was exactly as described. We had everything we needed for our stay and the communication was excellent. It’s a short walk to the beach and an amazing community. Our kids enjoyed the beautiful playground as well. Thanks for a great stay! We would definitely return.

Perfect winter escape!

Took my small work team up for our planning sesh and we hunkered down at the cozy Trolls Den and got ‘er done. It was priced great and gave us all we needed. The host staff even shoveled the snow off our porch and under our car!! The greater Beachwalk community is beautiful and idyllic with the fresh snow and bright colored homes - we even bundled up and took a walk down to Lake Michigan and through neighborhood. #greatteammemories!!!

Clean, charming, wonderful location…just perfect!!

My husband, adult son and I stayed in the Troll’s Den. It was so charming, had everything we needed for our stay plus more. It was very clean, exceptionally maintained and well stocked. The Beachwalk is a great community. Although it was off season, we enjoyed the walk to the beach. The owners live right next door, we had the pleasure of meeting them. They take great pride in their properties and it shows. This was our first time in the area, we will be back!

Friend Vacation

Rented both Valhalla and Trolls Den for a long weekend with friends. Combined there were 17 of us, 10 adults and 7 kids. The combined space between the houses was excellent for hanging out. Both houses looked exactly as listed and the host was right there if anything was needed. Communication was easy and there was plenty of extras (blankets, pillows, wagons, beach toys). Community was gorgeous and easy to get around. Would stay again!

End of Summer Trip

House was very nice. Location was close to the park, community center, neighborhood lake, and pool. Walking distance to Lake Michigan as well but a golf cart would be more convenient (available for rent from activity center). Did have an issue with noise at a neighboring house but owner was receptive to this. Otherwise great house and great area!

Grandkids loved it!

My husband and I went with our daughter, son-in-law, and their two boys ages 3 & 4 for a three night stay. Spent the early afternoon at the Hesston Steam Museum with a short drive to a 3:00 check in. The grandkids loved the house! They thought the troll cave was awesome. So much fun stuff to do within walking distance. The playground was a big hit especially the big green slide. The closest beach (easy walk) was awesome and we also enjoyed another beach at the National Park. We all had fun picking blueberries. Everyone enjoyed their time here and can’t wait to visit again!

Great for families

The rental was very clean, fun, and perfect for our family of four young kids. The whole house is decorated in a trolls theme (which my girls didn't like at first, but eventually loved) and is very fun to look at and has a fun nature to it. The whole community is full of themed houses, very colorful, and would be so much fun to see during the peak season. We came during the off season as a pass through, but still enjoyed just walking the community and going to the Indiana Sand Dunes just down the road. There is a nice park just a few blocks away for kids to play at and the Michigan Lake beach is within walking distance. Stores are 10-15 minutes away for supplies. We enjoyed our stay.
