M&M Dune Cottage is a vintage, 1930's Sheridan Beach original. So, if you're looking for a place with character and can live with all of the rough edges that come with staying in a 80+ year old cottage built on sand, we're the perfect choice for your fun in the sun!
Simply, walk out your front door to step onto the sand path. It leads to the world's most beautiful beach - Sheridan Beach!
Just a stroll down the beach… • The historic Lighthouse with its Promenade • The Michigan City Zoo & award winning Washington Park & marina.
Like to shop, boat or play... Visit the nearby Lighthouse Outlet Mall, the Downtown Art district with its fun Restaurants & Pubs, the Blue Chip Casino and the local marina with ramps and transient slips - just a quick 5 minute drive away.

Bring your suits, sandals, suntan lotion, and a good book!
Important Note: Like all area cottages, M&M Dune Cottage is separated from the lake by a naturally created, government protected dune. The pathways over the dune are marked & continually managed to keep their heights as low as possible. This season, there are ‘easy’ board-walk mats placed out on two of the three beach paths adjacent to the cottage. There's a flat boardwalk in Washington Park.
Please remember to read all beach cautions (especially about riptides) and supervise children. Thank you!
FOR ADDED COVID SAFETY: • We’ve extended the work hours of our 5 Star Housekeeping team to provide the additional time necessary to perform enhanced cleaning procedures. • We use ‘Hospital Grade’ disinfectant solutions. • The newer dishwasher has a Steam Cycle for better sanitization. l • Compact hand sanitizers are provided to take with you to the beach, zoo or anywhere else your vacation takes you. • Paper towels, toilet tissue and kitchen sponges are provided for each stay. • The interior has been tested for mold - no issues. • In addition to the full complement of freshly laundered linens and towels, all mattresses and bed pillows have allergy liners.
