Experience The Ambience Of A Country-Style Inn
In Michigan City, Indiana
Duneland Beach Inn Is Much More Than Just A
Michigan City Bed And Breakfast
A Lake Michigan Inn With A Delightful On-Site Michigan City
Dining Room & A Cozy Lounge!
When the Essers constructed the Duneland Beach Inn in Michigan City, Indiana over 85 years ago, they probably never imagined what the building would be like today…
Originally built as a comfortable Lake Michigan inn for road-weary travelers and city dwellers looking for a peaceful getaway, Duneland Beach Inn today is proud to offer even more accoutrements - and is far more than just a Michigan City bed and breakfast!
The Duneland Beach Inn was built in 1924 by the Essers, a German couple who relocated to America and Michigan City to build a better life. At the time of construction, the inn was a small hotel, boasting 20 rooms and just one shared bathroom.
Elsie Esser was known as an uncommonly good cook, and word of the table she set soon spread into the city. As her talents became more widely known, the Essers’ Lake Michigan inn became a summer vacation spot for people leaving the busy Chicago lifestyle in search of more tranquil surroundings.
While the number of guest rooms has dropped in our Michigan City inn from 20 to just eight, the building has lost none of its original charm! In fact, the Duneland Beach Inn is still known for outstanding food 85 years later!
Nestled in a quiet private neighborhood, this Lake Michigan inn is located in a wooded residential area, just a five-minute walk to a private lakefront.
Our private Lake Michigan beachfront access offers what no other inn in Michigan City can!
The Duneland Beach Inn has become known as a great place for a romantic couples get away - or for a busy person to enjoy a comfortable corporate stay - complete with a delicious on-site restaurant and cozy bar/lounge. |
