Enjoyable getaway
We spent two wonderful days with friends at Indiana Dunes. We loved the house, the village, proximity to the beach, the area restaurants and a winery that was a delight to spend a quiet afternoon at.

Good for a small family
We stayed here with our family of four which worked well for us. Close to the pool and beach, but it would have been nice to have a golf cart or wagon with little kids(listing said that there was a wagon, but there was none by our house). House was clean and had all of the necessities. Our kids loved the troll hole! The deposit is very very large, more than our entire rental fee-we stayed four nights. It takes the full two weeks to be refunded as well, so take that into account. Overall, it is a good place to stay, however, we would prefer somewhere with a smaller deposit and a golf cart or wagon.

Grandkids loved it!
My husband and I went with our daughter, son-in-law, and their two boys ages 3 & 4 for a three night stay. Spent the early afternoon at the Hesston Steam Museum with a short drive to a 3:00 check in. The grandkids loved the house! They thought the troll cave was awesome. So much fun stuff to do within walking distance. The playground was a big hit especially the big green slide. The closest beach (easy walk) was awesome and we also enjoyed another beach at the National Park. We all had fun picking blueberries. Everyone enjoyed their time here and can’t wait to visit again!

Friend Vacation
Rented both Valhalla and Trolls Den for a long weekend with friends. Combined there were 17 of us, 10 adults and 7 kids. The combined space between the houses was excellent for hanging out. Both houses looked exactly as listed and the host was right there if anything was needed. Communication was easy and there was plenty of extras (blankets, pillows, wagons, beach toys). Community was gorgeous and easy to get around. Would stay again!

Trolls Den
The only issue we had was the surprise of finding out when we got there that we had to pay $15 a person for a wristband to use the amenities, and $5 to park one vehicle in front of the three bedroom house and an additional $10-$15 per other vehicle. The amenities cost were not optional, if you stay here you have to purchase the wristbands for everyone staying.

We usually come to stay at the Troll’s Den at least once a year, sometimes twice! It is the perfect place for our little family! Everything is always perfect on our arrival, and Anders is very communicative during our stay if anything comes up.

Super location, super clean, super cute! We enjoyed sitting on the porch talking for hours, the kitchen was well equipped, the beds were all comfortable, plenty of towels in bathrooms, and beach chairs available to use. We also took the bikes on a trail ride! Hosts were wonderful, we plan to come back in the near future 😊

Clean, charming, wonderful location…just perfect!!
My husband, adult son and I stayed in the Troll’s Den. It was so charming, had everything we needed for our stay plus more. It was very clean, exceptionally maintained and well stocked. The Beachwalk is a great community. Although it was off season, we enjoyed the walk to the beach. The owners live right next door, we had the pleasure of meeting them. They take great pride in their properties and it shows. This was our first time in the area, we will be back!

Great for families
The rental was very clean, fun, and perfect for our family of four young kids. The whole house is decorated in a trolls theme (which my girls didn't like at first, but eventually loved) and is very fun to look at and has a fun nature to it. The whole community is full of themed houses, very colorful, and would be so much fun to see during the peak season. We came during the off season as a pass through, but still enjoyed just walking the community and going to the Indiana Sand Dunes just down the road. There is a nice park just a few blocks away for kids to play at and the Michigan Lake beach is within walking distance. Stores are 10-15 minutes away for supplies. We enjoyed our stay.

End of Summer Trip
House was very nice. Location was close to the park, community center, neighborhood lake, and pool. Walking distance to Lake Michigan as well but a golf cart would be more convenient (available for rent from activity center). Did have an issue with noise at a neighboring house but owner was receptive to this. Otherwise great house and great area!
