Camp Baxter is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage nestled in a tranquil wooded area near the Indiana Dunes National Park in Miller Beach. This newly renovated 1920s cottage is perched on the side of a dune and boasts Smart Home technology, modern conveniences, and abundant amenities both inside and out. Enjoy the natural surroundings from the spacious, multi-level outdoor living spaces featuring a 6-person hot tub, firepit with provided firewood, outdoor dining area, and seasonal cushioned lounge furniture. The property is surrounded by a 6-foot tall perimeter fence for ultimate privacy. Parking is available for up to four vehicles, although the garage is not accessible to guests. The cottage offers a small but fully functional kitchen, a separate dining room with a table that flips to reveal a poker top, a cozy lower-level media room, and a vaulted, skylighted living room with large windows and glass patio doors that open to a 700 sq. ft. outdoor living space. The marble-tiled bathroom features heated floors and a jetted tub with a heated ledge seat. Additional amenities include complimentary Nespresso and Keurig coffee, four Smart TVs with digital Comcast Xfinity cable and video streaming, high-speed Wi-Fi, a Nest Thermostat, and a washer and dryer. Supplies such as paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, hand soap, dish soap and sponge, dishwasher detergent, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, trash bags, firewood, bath and beach towels, and all bedding are provided. We are dog-friendly and allow up to four adult house-trained dogs. Per dog fees are $79 for a 2-night stay, $29 per night for a 3-night stay, or $200 per week. Guests may request an early check-in at 1pm and/or a late checkout at 1pm, each available for a fee of $69 during peak season and $39 during non-peak season. An additional guest fee applies over four people at $25 per person per night, not including children under two years of age. In certain cases, an additional holiday premium may apply to your dates.
