The cottages--there are six--are situated on ten acres right off Union Pier Road. Our dog might have had the best time of all--there was plenty of open space to run around and a wonderful moss-covered path at the north end of the property that he loved to sniff around. I'm a cyclist and it's tough to beat the lightly-traveled country roads that are mostly flat and surrounded by corn and soybean fields. Owner Chuck Garasic was both responsive and hospitable. We've already booked a summer 2022 week!

Both cabins we've stayed in offer wall units and one also had a ceiling fan. I think adding ceiling fans to all units would be very beneficial, as well as considering installing central AC. They do offer outdoor seating areas and grills. As well as beach chairs. We definitely love the private beach access and the close proximity to the Whistle Shop and other local shops. Unfortunately due to the climbing age of some of the family and the lack of AC, we will be looking elsewhere next year.

A truly charming cottage in the trees and by the lake!…read more My partner and I stayed in unit 5. We were a little hesitant because of past reviews on this site (specifically the unit having a smell) but after reviewing the site and talking to the Firefly, we learned the unit was recently purchased by new owners and completely renovated, so we decided to go for it. We we SO happy we did, our summer getaway could not have been better. The unit was pristine, you can tell the couch and bed were new and they were actually comfortable (which is a big deal for me, I am typically really critical of rental unit furniture and I hate having to use it when I am away from home). But I felt really good about using these and I slept very well. The bathroom was lovely, it also felt very clean and newly finished. The kitchen was a little tight but it was ideal for making food to avoid having to go out. I think my absolute favorite part of this cottage was the screened-in porch. Waking up early and getting to listen to the woods and the waves in a protected cove surrounded by tall ferns was magical. I even was lucky enough to see a few fawns! Oh, and there was no smell. I will be coming back!

We were pleasantly surprised at how modern the room was. Everything felt brand new and was decorated so wonderfully. The couple that owns the Inn are very kind and helpful. After check-in, we didn't even see them unless we went downstairs specifically to talk to them. What I loved was that each room has it's own private entrance and balcony. The coffee/wet bar was great. When we checked in, we found a bottle of wine, brie and crackers in our room. Every morning we had wonderful scones waiting by our door. They provide both regular and decaf coffee, espresso and an assortment of teas. I loved going in their backyard and watching the koi. They have a jar of food you can toss in. Watch out though. That pond is a breeding ground for swarms of maneating mosquitos!!! We're thinking of going back each year on our anniversary we enjoyed our stay so much!

Also, the locks from the dining room to the outside don't work/lock. We stayed here with grandparents, parents and seven kids. When we checked out the owners charged our credit card again claiming we had vandalized the house (vomit, wine stains, blood everywhere, furniture damage). I repeatedly requested proof via email and phone calls. No response! The only time they responded they threatened me with a lawyer. Be sure to take pictures before and after your stay, maybe even shutdown the credit card promptly to prevent further charges. I spent many hours disputing the charge with the credit card company for the unauthorized charge. Don't let them ruin your family vacation. #rabbitrun #rabbitruninn #rabbitrunrental

I only wish that we were there longer so we could take advantage of the proprietor's knowledge of the area and get some recommendations of things to do. We were so tired from new parent life that we basically just napped the weekend away, but it was still a lovely place to do that.

The second bad thing is the perpetual construction in the Gary area. What the hell is that all about. But if you want to make time from Chicago to parts east then take the Skyway and take the Indiana toll road. Its shorter and faster and the heavy traffic is never as bad as the alternative routes. The toll booth RFID system works seamlessly with Illinois devices and is no great hassle for regular users. Watch out for LaPorte County speeding tickets though I just heard of two different people getting tickets at 10 mph over. Why there I dont know since traffic is always light there.

As the summer season wrapped up on Labor Day weekend, I am so glad I found Thyme for Bed on bedandbreakfast.com when looking for getaways not-too-far from our Chicago home. Bill and Crystal are the new innkeepers at this unique and cozy B&B in the middle of cornfields and far enough away from the city lights that you feel like your in your own little bubbled respite. And when I say bubble, I mean literally, the giant concrete sphere makes that feeling a bit of a unbelievable reality. Upon arrival, Crystal gave us the grand tour of the one-of-a-kind dome, and we got the inside scoop on lots of details about the structure itself. And while we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Pheasant Room, we can't wait to go back to enjoy a stay in the Santa Fe-esque "In Your Dreams" Master Suite. The beautiful gem-walled walk-in shower power base bed, and huge jacuzzi was more than enough to convince us. :-) Of course, the down-to-earth hospitality of Bill and Crystal were the icing on the cake. We left feeling like a part of the family, and with bellies full of homemade yogurt parfait, delicious fresh peach topped french toast tartlet, and cinnamon scones lingering in our taste buds.

They stayed up until we arrived at 10pm and we chatted with the lovely couple for almost an hour after that- just about life! They were so friendly and easy to talk to, and if we had not been so tired we would have loved to continue talking to them over coffer. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the Dome and that it is the probably the safest place in case of any natural disaster or fire. Our stay was short (just one night) but we would love to come back just to have a more relaxing stay and enjoy the beautiful outdoors around the Dome as well. The room was certainly a fun design and everything was super clean. There was coffee, tea, water, and snacks at the ready right outside our room upstairs, available at any time. We had to wake up and leave pretty early (7AM) the next morning to catch our flight from Chicago and Bill & Crystal both woke up early to see us off. They also made us coffee and orange scones (which were delicious) for the road. We really appreciated their closeness and openness- definitely a must see place and a great B&B. We hope to be back! This is not necessarily a negative but there was ALOT of furniture everywhere. I can see some people not liking this because it does feel as if you are literally in someone else's home- but I thought it made it a little more authentic. The more you got to know the owners, the more fitting it felt.

I actually think this could be an awesome campground if the current owners sold it to someone who actually wanted to run a campground. For starters, the laundry room, game room, AND bathhouse were closed. The reason they claimed was because of Covid-19. They said they would be opening them for the July 4th weekend. Wow. Now, here's the thing, if they were going to pull the Covid-19 card, the campground should have been immaculate; they had what, 5 extra weeks to get it ready, right? Nope. This place is a dumpster fire. There are piles of trash and debris all over the grounds. The lake, while it looked nice, was a mosquitos best friend, since it wasn't mowed. Every building on the grounds was in disrepair and dilapidated. They had a sort of pavillion thing out by the lake, and it contained a VERY broken swing thing, trash, and probably a family of snakes. What a freaking mess. The pool chairs were GROSS, and the 2 umbrellas looked like they were from back in 1995. Remove the broken pool cover equipment, it is obvious there hasn't been a pool cover in YEARS. You could tell that at one time this place was really great, there were remnants of a mini golf area, there were benches (now in need of paint and repair) all over, and the playground area was so dangerous there isn't a chance I would let a kid use it; if it didn't fall on them the chances of tetnus is very real. No exaggeration. This place looked like a freaking ghost town. The 'store' was a JOKE. The freezer was 'broken', so no ice, the shelves were almost completely empty except for 8 packages of salt/pepper and 2 ketchups, and the prices were CRAZY. Now, the seasonal campers for the most part kept their areas looking really nice, (and they were very friendly), maybe the owners should consider hiring some of them to clean the place up! It is obvious that the owners are living on the seasonal campers income and have no desire to draw anyone else in. They really should turn the place over, they are running it into the ground.
