The property was everything we could hope for for our multi generational gathering. Well equipped kitchen with open concept areas for meals. We were slightly nervous about how sunny the backyard would be, but large umbrellas provided amble shade while enjoying the pool. With the private beach so close, we were able to enjoy Lake Michigan with the "littles". Hope we can visit again soon!

Perfect family vacation spot
We were 2 families with 5 kids total, ages 1 month-6 years. This was a perfect spot for a family vacation. The heated pool and hot tub were a big hit. Lots of pool floats to use. Our dog enjoyed the fenced back yard. The house had a ton of board and card games for us to play. The kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook meals. There are 3 bedrooms (a king, a queen, and bunk beds with twin up and full below) with 1 bath upstairs. One precaution: the top bunk does not have a railing so we ended up not having any kids sleep up top. A small twin bedroom with a bath on the main level. And then a bedroom, bath and separate living area on the bottom level. Overall it was a perfect spot for a family vacation. We definitely plan on returning.

Weekend w our adult kids
We had a wonderful weekend. Everything you could need was there. It’s an older home with updates, very clean, and cared for. Convenient location to New Buffalo. The neighborhood beach was small, ok to watch the sunset but you’ll want to drive to the public beach if you’re wanting to spend the day. We loved the huge back yard w pool, hot tub, fire pit in the evening. My adult kids didn’t want to leave!

Everything was perfect!
We had a wonderful few days, the house is clean and very comfortable, so much space! Everything you need is there, every detail thought of! The pool was lovely and clean, there is a hot tub, fire pit, lots of chairs and tables- really great outdoor space! At sunset we would go sit on the beach and enjoy. Lovely and friendly neighborhood! Most relaxed I have been in a long time !

Town is crowded during summer months, but our stay was west of the marina was quiet and restful. Nice having the pool in the back yard.

Comfortable stay
The house was comfortable and clean, with 2 living areas. Kitchen drawers need some attention. The pool was the biggest attraction with both adults and teens. Very big fenced yard, perfect for dogs. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, no more than 5 minutes away from everything New Buffalo has to offer. A couple of decent restaurants in town, nice farmer's markets.

Sunny Relaxation in Harbor Country
We had an amazing stay here. Walk two houses down & you are at a small neighborhood beach. There are a lot of rocks along the way, so swim shoes make the experience better. Sunsets are gorgeous here! Sit on the beach, sip wine & watch. So romantic & relaxing. The back yard is huge! Pool is perfect for floating & cooling off on super sunny days. Hot tub is there to warm up on cool evenings & there is a fire pit for making s’mores & chatting. The huge public beach is a 5 min drive. Very easy to get there early to beat the crowds. This is a better beach for kids to play at and build sand castles. The time we spent in the house was mainly to sleep or when it rained once. There are TVs in almost every room & a large kitchen table that made board game setup easy. Cooking was easy too, especially with the gas grill AND Blackstone griddle. Carie, Ben & Mike are extremely quick, responsive & nice when we had questions or issues. The whole family had a wonderful time & even the surly teens could t find things to complain about. We will be back!!!
