New Buffalo - summer stay

This was the perfect house for our family to stay in during our time in New Buffalo...very nice, plenty of room, close to everything. We were able to come and go to the beach, get our dinners (including ice cream at Oinks), and enjoy quiet time. Highly recommend.

This was the perfect place for a girls trip. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space to gather and having two bathrooms is a definite plus. The location is wonderful! It's under a 5 minute drive to everything in New Buffalo, but you feel like you're a million miles away at your own private oasis at the house. We would absolutely stay here again!

Nice home, quite neighborhood!

We loved our stay! The home was very clean and beds were comfortable. We cooked in quite a bit and found everything we needed in the nicely stocked kitchen. One of the highlights of our stay was watching the wild deer grazing in the field in front of the house each morning as we drank coffee. Ten were in the field on our last morning, including four fawns…beautiful!
