Looking to make a trip to the dunes this summer? We’ve got some great places for you to stay. Dig the Dunes scoured the area from Miller Beach, Indiana to Union Pier, MI and picked a few of our favorites. Most will offer mid-week or off-season specials, so something that may seem a little too pricey for you, could be surprisingly affordable. Especially if you plan an outing with a large group!

Miller Beach Vacation Rentals offers two luxury homes that are great for bigger parties. Family reunions, business retreats and large mid-week gatherings are perfect for these rentals. Situated just off the beach, Miller Beach Vacation Rentals has all the amenities you need, just 40 minutes from Chicago. Things to do close by: Hike Miller Woods, visit 18th Street Brewery, Shop along Lake Street, check out the Nelson Algren Museum. Learn more at MillerBeachVacationRentals.com.
