The house was very clean with modern appliances and great furnishings. We really enjoyed the indoor space and front and rear porches. Bedroom layouts were perfect for our family. Very close to town and the beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice place to stay for extended family.

We loved walking to town. Very spacious. Each family had their own space and bath. Perfect. The little ones loved the train going by while sitting on the great screened in porch. Would stay again.

Mullen Familly

This property was very comfortable and allowed everyone easy access to downtown New Buffalo. The rental company was very quick to respond concerning the leak in the main level powder room. The locks on the upstairs bath should be looked at as their mechanism did not properly lock so privacy for those bedrooms was a bit of a challenge. The refrigerator should have been wiped out and the bag of to go food should have been thrown away. I understand there are a lot of properties, but we were please to see a Mr. Coffee and lots of trash bags provided. Since there were no clear directions on trash pick-up procedure and days of collection, it was not put out on the street on time. None of this created a huge problem, but updates in the guest book to address these questions would help everyone who stays here. It is a lovely home with a delightful open plan and nice amenities.

Beautiful house with every thing you need!

We really enjoyed our stay! It is a long 15 minute walk, up hill from the beach with all of your stuff for "Older" adults, but very convenient to New Buffalo happenings. Super comfy beds! Not much of a view, but very quiet neighborhood close to the harbor. Storage sheds block the view from the back of the house to the lake. Lots of comfy seating for our party of 6 adults!

Yearly trip to New Buffalo

The house is very nice, clean and much bigger than it seemed in the pictures. Front porch was great for breakfast. The sun is in the front of the house in the morning and the back yard in the afternoon. Good location, lots of supplies in the kitchen, close to everything, lots of windows and an all around nice place to stay. There was only three of us but we might come back with more family next year.

Perfect Stay!

We came in for the Notre Dame game on 9/2/23 and absolutely loved this property. The management team is quick to respond and super nice. The house is a huge space that's great for families and friends that's close to South Bend and Chicago. Plus, easy walking distance to fun shopping, food, breweries, and the beach. We will definitely stay with them again.

Perfect house for our “Girls Weekend”

This house was perfect for my daughters, daughter in-law , sister, and my, annual, “Girls Weekend “. We’ve stayed here once before, a few years back , and once again found it comfortable , warm and homey. Everyone who had scheduled massages , commented about the wonderful massages they received at Evolve Spa. Grocery store was close by, and everyoone working there was very friendly. Booking was easy with no issues. Just perfect for our four day stay.
