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. Last season, there were ‘easy walk’ 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.

• Also provided are compact hand sanitizers to take with you to the beach, zoo or anywhere else your vacation takes you.
• Brand new rolls of 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.

Summary: Our second stay at the cottage and we loved it again. Location is amazing. Short walk to the beach (I'd recommend the more public path a block down, as it is an easier walk.) We had 3 cars and no parking issues at all. House was great! 4 bedrooms so everyone had their space. Good-sized kitchen for preparing meals and it has all the pans you'd need. Dining room table easily seats six or you can sit out on the patio. Washington Park is also a short walk and you are close to the outlets and downtown Michigan City.We are already talking about our next trip back.
