About this house rental
Welcome to Elle J Retreat house! This house has the Michiana cottage feel with beautiful pine flooring, but is updated with all of the modern amenities . This three bedroom/two bath home is tucked away in a woodsy setting so you can relax in peace and quiet. There is a fully stocked kitchen. The lovely screened-in porch is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee.
4 vintage adult bikes/2 kid bikes and beach floats available for your use.
Elle J Retreat house is the perfect getaway spot anytime of the year! The spacious outdoor deck with seating and a gas grill is perfect for family cook-outs. The house is set on a private wooded lot with much privacy. It is a short walk to Lake Michigan's Stop 37 for sunset. You can spend your summers on the beach; falls enjoying the changing tree foliage, a winery/brewery, or even a Notre Dame Football Game; Winter is great for sledding and then snuggling around the fireplace; Spring is great for all of the local hiking trails and golf courses.
Elle J Retreat is 2 blocks from Stop 50 Wood Fire Pizza and the horse stables where you can take a trail ride. The property backs up to the open wooded field where sometimes you can catch a glimpse of the horses running along the fence. We are 8 blocks to the Stop 37. If tides are high, stop 41 1/2 is a 10 minute bike ride. Blueberry picking is 2 miles away. Many apple orchards are 15 minutes away.

This property was ideal for our getaway. The grounds are lovely, the house is comfortable and well furnished. Cooking and eating for a group of 6 was effortless in the well stocked kitchen. I can’t say enough about the large screened in porch. Listening to the wind blowing in the trees was the best! Communication with the host was great. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

We had a great time staying at this property. It was perfect for our family (grandparents, parents, kids). We enjoyed the quick walks to the beach, the well equipped property and the communication with the host. We would absolutely recommend this property if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing and fun place for the family. We will absolutely be back!

We had the best time! The pictures online do not do the place justice! Laura was a kind host and quickly replied to any questions I had. It was clean, plenty of space to spread out, and had all of comforts of home! The setting is serene and quiet with mature trees. We have young children and they enjoyed walking in circles on the garden path, s’mores at the bonfire, seeing horses and deer in the backyard, and the two nearby parks! The stop 50 pizza was some of the best we had but recommend to order ahead. The first night we tried to order takeout at 5pm and they said they were not going to be ready until 8pm! So the next day we called right when they opened For 5pm takeout and no issues :) We took advantage of the stables nearby for a pony ride and also went blueberry picking! It seems as thought the stop 37 beach access was closed for the summer so we went to the beach in New Buffalo. Truly a great location, so much to do close by! The extra large back porch was great for an afternoon nap or breakfast at the table. We cooked most of our meals in the kitchen with a large island and everything you need. We were very comfortable and plan to return next year!
