I really wanted to write a positive review as the location was perfect, unfortunately the property was in a state of disrepair and the owner was less than hospitable. We called the owner the morning prior to leaving to ensure everything was good, when we spoke at this time he did not mention anything wrong with the property and requested we call once we arrived in Michigan City. Once we arrived, he informed us that the original property had a water problem due to recent weather and he was “upgrading us to a much better room on the property”, it’s important to note he stated that he didn’t want to tell us when we called earlier because “he’s been doing this for a while and didn’t want us to cancel without seeing the upgrade.” We found this to be duplicitous and would have preferred honesty. When speaking to the owner he talked over us and we found him to be dismissive towards our concerns about switching us out in the manner he did. The upgrade was substantially larger but was not clean or safe. There were at least 3 feral cats in front of the property with random food bowls strewn about the entrance, a problem as my fiancé is severely allergic. Upon entering the property there was a pinball machine partially blocking the front door. We thought perhaps it was a temporary placement but noted there were doorstops set up to prevent damage to the door and machine, indicating it was permanent. There was a room that looked to be designed for children with bunk beds, video games…and a portable steam room. While our children were not with us we would have had a hard time allowing children to stay in a room with a steam room. There was a lovely view of lake MI from the second story patio, however, sections of the guardrail were missing with tape and plastic up. There was an inoperable hot tub on the patio with the entire back panel missing and exposed wires. Directly underneath the patio there was a dilapidated dog pen riddled with fecal matter. The hot tub we were directed to use was next to the parking lot in front of the property, we noted the cats sleeping on and around it, so we were not able to use it. The front yard was poorly lit and we had to use our phone flashlights to get up the stairs and around all the substantial clutter. We took pictures of the items in disrepair as we were concerned about future renters. The property is not maintained well and the owner is not pleasant, we do not recommend at all.
