A good stay for a great location!
The listing was exactly as shown on Vrbo, and the location was perfect for our needs. The number of rooms and bathrooms was sufficient for our family, and the kitchen was well-stocked with the essentials.However, the cleanliness of floors could have been a tab bit better and also no filters for the coffee machine — a minor inconvenience.That said, we appreciated the layout and amenities overall, and being close to Starbucks helped make up for the coffee situation!

Charming stay in New Buffalo
The house couldn’t have been better for our stay in New Buffalo! It is a quaint residence, just blocks from everything- waterfront, coffee, and restaurants. Everything about the house, and provided amenities made us feel right at home. Comfy beds, lots of towels, fully stocked kitchen, wonderful outdoor spaces, and starter supplies. The house was quiet and immaculate. If you’re in the area, you definitely need to stay here!!
