This is a fantastic property - clean, well maintained and with everything you could need to have a wonderful stay. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay easier and included thoughtful touches like bug spray, extra sunscreen, and even included the wristbands and parking passes. It was a delight from beginning to end - we will definitely stay again and highly recommend Sweet Retreat!

Fantastic Getaway!

This house was the perfect place for our family- six adults, seven kiddos. Well stocked, comfortable, and close to the pool, park, beach. The master bedroom and bathroom were such a treat! Our kiddos made great memories here.

Great, stay in vacation town!

This Stay was amazing! Tbh the pictures don’t give it justice. When I finally arrived at the property, I got way more than what the pictures described. There is a very clean large and spacious bedroom in the basement that is not shown in the pictures. Large enough to fit 12 of my friends and I. I definitely recommend

Wedding Weekend

Sweet Retreat and its companion property Sweet Inn are the perfect place for a family gathering. We were there for a wedding in nearby Michigan City, so the location was ideal. With the two houses rented together, we had the right amount of space to gather as a group but also have some privacy when needed. The smaller house is great for older family members or those with young kids who need a separate quiet space. It was cold and chilly, so we didn’t use the outdoor space, but it looked lovely as well. Both houses were well stocked with kitchen supplies for cooking for a large group. The host was responsive, flexible and helpful and made sure we had what we needed for a great stay. I left a nice review on Sweet Inn but forgot to click the stars—it was 5 star as well! Would definitely rent again!

Loved this house and resort. The house was beautiful and the kitchen was bigger than we thought from pictures. The resort was great. Lots of things to do for all ages. Lake Michigan beach was walking distance and beautiful at sunset. We definitely would come back.

Perfect house for multiple families. Everyone had their own space and such great common area space. We had 8 adults and 4 kids and there was plenty of room. Plenty of supplies in the kitchen to cook all the meals and was so nice to have a table that fit us all. We had such a great stay and made lifelong memories!
