The house was perfect for our family of 9 - Six adults and three teens. My oldest loved sleeping on the murphy bed in the den. The house was well stocked with all the kitchen items such as plates, bowls, cups and flatware. The beds were very comfortable and everything was so clean. We loved the location and it was great to park in the garage. The hosts were excellent communicators and responded very quickly to the couple of inquiries I made. Would stay here again the next family trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is new, well- equipped with most things you’ll need for a week’s stay. It’s a great place for families with children. The hosts were informative about details, check-in and answered questions that we had. I would stay here again.

Loved!!!

We had a wonderful few days together at this beautiful, relaxing and well kept home. The backyard was a great place to enjoy food, drinks and a fire. So much to do in the surrounding area. We would highly recommend to stay here. Looking forward to returning soon.

Lovely

This was such a beautiful home in a very quiet area and New Buffalo is wonderful. We loved it! Thank you! One small complaint but not a deal breaker - the beds in the rooms besides the master were a little uncomfortable but for kids (which was the case for us) they were just fine. I would and may book again!

6/10 Okay

House was nice. Did not care for mulch in the yard instead of grass - especially with a dog. The chairs and bench at the kitchen table had very loose screws and needed to be tightened. We had quite the encounter with the neighbor to the north of the house. One night we were out in the backyard around the fire pit and he opened his back door and his large dog ran out and into our backyard. The dog was kind and went back to the owner. The next morning my husband was walking our dog “on a leash” as it was noted that the HOA required all pets to be leashed in this neighborhood and the same neighbor from the night before was backing out of his driveway and my husband got over and stepped off the road to allow this neighbor to drive past and the neighbor had the audacity to roll down his window and tell my husband that the area he was standing on was private property and he needed to get off. My husband was merely getting over to allow the man to drive past. The next day we were pulling into our driveway and a small dog was in our driveway unleashed walking around. The neighbor was outside again and this was another of his dogs. He told me to just drive the dog would move. I pulled into the driveway and we walked inside our house and this dog followed us inside. The neighbor had to walk into our house to retrieve his dog. He did apologize but seems a bit strange he had such an attitude the day prior when he had the dogs unleashed and we weren’t doing anything in the wrong.

We enjoyed the walking path just outside of the neighborhood, as we took a walk to Farmette - local cafe/market. It was spacious for our group and we enjoyed all of the amenities! It was a short drive to the shops in town too. Thank you for a great stay!
