Festivals and floral displays celebrate nature’s charm across this northern Indiana haven.
Cypress Log Cabin: A Dunes Treasure
Nestled atop a dune overlooking Lake Michigan, the Cypress Log Cabin—built for the 1933 Century of Progress World’s Fair—showcases sturdy cypress construction in a rustic, lodge‑style retreat. Moved to Beverly Shores in 1935 and lovingly restored, it now serves as a historic short‑term rental within Indiana Dunes National Park
