About this property

The White House - spacious 5 bedroom, with hot tub - blocks from everything!!!!


Welcome to Harbor Country.
This sprawling five bedroom 3-1/2 bathroom, 2 family room home is the perfect place for you and your family or friends.
The first floor includes a king bedroom with tv, full bathroom, spacious dining room, large gourmet kitchen with island and plenty of counter space, a large family room with a flat-screened TV, a great place to gather! That then leads to the laundry room and powder room.
At the top of the staircase you will find a loft/sitting area that includes a flat screened TV. That then leads to the remaining 4 bedrooms & 2 full baths. The first bedroom includes two full size beds, second and third bedroom are both fitted with queen beds and the master bedroom includes a king bed.
This home is just a short walk to Brewster's Italian, or waterside fine dining at Bentwood Tavern or The Terrace Room. From our home you'll enjoy the short walk to downtown New Buffalo and the beach. Whether you are planning an all-adult trip or a family getaway this home sleeps 12 comfortably, and is the perfect complement to any of your planned activities. Enjoy our spacious backyard for outdoor games, hanging out in the hot-tub, playing a game on our bocci ball court or relaxing by the fire-pit with a glass of a local wine or micro-brew. This open concept house plan allows for plenty of room for the kids to be entertained while you sit back, relax and enjoy Pure Michigan. We have added exterior cameras to monitor the exterior of our home for liability reasons for our insurance. They are located at the front door and side of driveway. There are absolutely no cameras located inside the house.
This location is ideal in so many ways. Just an hour away from Chicago by car or Amtrak, you'll soon be steps away to all the conveniences of Harbor Country. Hop on a shuttle to Four Winds Casino, or a short drive to Blue Chip Casino and the Outlet Mall. A great place to take walks to town or the beach as well as bike riding. Tour the wineries and micro-breweries and so much more.


There is a house guide in a binder at the property with all the information you will need.


Also, City of New Buffalo passed an ordinance, effective 6/14/21, that limits parking to 6 cars maximum, limits number of guests to 14, enforces the noise ordinance and requires a Reservation Summary. That form requests the full name and date of birth for the main contact, full name and age of each guest, and make, model and license plate number (including State) for each car that will be on the property. That form needs to be in the city’s hand no less than 24 hours before reservation. That form will be sent to you in a fillable format but if you would rather send me the information, I can fill it out for you. Thank you for your cooperation.

This house was amazing and the setup was great for are party of 12. We enjoyed the hot tub. My family had a great time in New Buffalo with this location being close to the beach, local shopping and restaurants, golf and the casino. Mary was an amazing hostess providing us with activities to do in the area and responding to messages very quickly. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location & home

Beautiful, new home, close to shops & restaurants. 4 bedrooms upstairs, one on main floor worked so well for sleeping areas. Our group needed 2 homes to accommodate our vacation this year...this was 1 1/2 blocks from our other home, which was so convenient. Best of all....Mary Lynn, our property host, was very accessible & responded within minutes--she is our favorite!

Fantastic cousins weekend!

Eight of us traveled from 3 different states to meet in New Buffalo for the weekend. The house couldn’t possibly have been better, down to the smallest detail. It was super easy to communicate with Mary and she was always kind and accommodating. We really enjoyed the restaurants and beach, as well as hanging out in the house, on the deck and in the yard. We would definitely stay here again!

Everything you need

We slept 10 adults very comfortably in this home. Kitchen is nice size and well stocked. The next morning after a snowfall, a crew was there to shovel and the hot tub was checked for chemicals while we were there. Communication with owner was very pleasant and very quick to respond to inquiries.

New Buffalo convenience

Wow. Where to start? The White House is thoughtfully designed and stocked to ensure a relaxing and enjoyable visit. A downstairs bedroom gives early risers quick access to coffee and sunrise walks, the upstairs primary is perfect for a family with a young child as the walk in closet comfortably accommodates a pack and play and has a vent for proper air flow. Mary is so communicative and available, the check in and check out process we’re seamless. The hot tub is professionally maintained and the back yard is beautiful. This house is perfect for a family, or families, with small kids as you’ll find all of the supplies you need there - munchkin plates and cups, silverware, baby gates, and comfortable furniture. We had a great time walking to all of the New Buffalo staples and hope we’ll get to visit again soon!

I booked a stay in late August before the start of the new school year and it was perfect! The home is perfect and come stocked with every kitchen need you might have. The rooms were spacious! We had a slight issue upon arrival with the hot tub not working but the host was incredibly responsive and it was resolved so quickly. I would definitely book another stay and highly recommend it.

Wonderful family get together near the beach.

We had 9 adult family members gather for a few days to celebrate my sister's milestone birthday. The house is lovely. Roomy, yet cozy and very clean. There was a minor issue with the oven and the host was over in just a few minutes to address it. We enjoyed the hot tub. We appreciated having 3 full and a half bath. We were able to walk to the beach and to town. Just be aware that is a 15 to 20 minute walk to the beach. If that’s too far, or you have a lot of beach gear, there is nearby parking that's pretty reasonable.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Lynn

Host profile image
I have been a native to New Buffalo for 9 years now and absolutely love it for all it has to offer. I believe that is what helps me to be the property manager I am since I reside in the same town that I manage homes in, it gives me so much insight for any questions, suggestions or concerns that my guest might have. My goal is to help make your experience perfect in every way from your reservation process to your stay in our home.
We know you will love New Buffalo!

Why they chose this property

The owners chose the location as it is literally in walking distance to everything you might look for - grocery shopping, drug store, many restaurants, two ice cream shops, two coffee shops, banks, gift shopping and most of all the majestic Lake Michigan. The owners spent many hours picking the right layout for an ideal vacation home for large family or friend gatherings. From the 5 spacious bedrooms and 3-1/2 baths from the two family rooms. We know you will be happy that you chose to stay in this home.

What makes this property unique

There are so many benefits to staying at The White House. There is a bedroom on the first floor for those that cannot climb stairs. There are 3-1/2 bathrooms as I have discovered through traveling with my family that extra bathrooms are a plus. The fact that there are two family rooms would be ideal for couples traveling with children. The backyard is ideal for lawn games, a nice cozy fire at our fire pit or relaxing in the hot tub. We know you will enjoy spending time out in the yard. The location is one of the high points for sure as you can walk to everything that New Buffalo offers and a short drive to all that Harbor Country offers. For those that love Casinos there are two casinos within 15 minutes.
