More about us

We are Jill & Dirk Feikema.

​

We purchased Sand Prairie in 2015 after we fell in love with the East Edge development, Miller Beach and the Indiana Dunes.  It is a destination for year-round enjoyment...close to our home, we feel like we've had a true vacation in just a short time.

 

We are a well-traveled and hospitable family and we bring this experience to our dune home. Dirk is well-versed in plumbing and construction so we have handily fixed things up to be very comfortable and functional. In college and grad school, Jill learned German and worked in Germany.  She later joined World Renew, a relief organization, where she learned French and spent 2 years working in West Africa. 

 

Our guilty pleasure is frequent long distance travel.  We have stayed in many incredible places -- some extravagant and others very simple.  Each place has its charm -- we look for it in the people, history and art and architecture of every place we visit.   We enjoy meeting new people, hearing their stories and hosting people from all over the world in our home.

 

It is our hope that you too can enjoy this lovely place at the Indiana Dunes.

We hope you are  blessed by your stay with us.  Mostly we pray that you go away refreshed from your daily work and recharged for life beyond vacation.  Take time to find a bit of respite in the nature of the dunes and become intrigued by the eclectic community of Miller Beach.

​

God bless you and feel free to contact us with any or all questions so we can make your stay memorable,

​

Jill & Dirk Feikema
