Searching for a comfortable getaway that's quiet yet walkable to the best of downtown New Buffalo? Look no further than Downtown Hideaway, a beautifully updated, four-bedroom home on a peaceful side street that's half a mile from the heart of downtown and one mile from New Buffalo Beach.

The 3,000-square-foot interior was made for entertaining, with hardwood floors throughout and an open kitchen, dining, and living area that's perfect for a group looking to spend quality time together. Find plentiful counter and prep space, a gas stove, and two ovens in the kitchen, as well as a long wet bar on the opposite side of the room with a beverage fridge, a second ice maker, and room for mixing drinks. There are even several drawers full of wine glasses and martini glasses, and an easy gas-start, wood-burning fireplace to keep you cozy during cocktail hour. The grassy back yard is accessed through sliding doors from the living area, where you'll find a table and cushioned chairs for outdoor dining, a couch for lounging outside on the patio, a gas grill for summer barbecues, and a private hot tub. There are also torches with mosquito repellant for your comfort and skewers to use while roasting marshmallows around the firepit. Other great at-home touches include a washer/dryer combo, high-speed WiFi, cable TV, and extra thought given to comfortable seating and beds.

At night, the bedroom wing is just off the kitchen. There are two king bedrooms, one bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a spacious primary suite accessed from the living area with a king-size bed, a large walk-in closet, and a new and beautiful bathroom with a shower and tub. Please note that the primary bedroom, the second bedroom, and the bathrooms have wide doorways with no sills, designed to easily accommodate everyone.

As for the location, you'll be within a couple blocks of fun, casual restaurants that include Jackie's Cafe and Rio's Mexican Food. The famous Oink's Ice Cream Stand is just around the corner and the New Buffalo Farmers Market is a few minutes' walk from the house.

Family Vacation

The house met our needs but a little unusual. New Buffalo is a great town with lots of restaurants and great beach. Oinks is a must for Ice Cream. The house was clean and had plenty of seating for relaxing and eating. Met the owner who was very nice. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Family Vacation

First trip to New Buffalo with Adult children and a new born. Really enjoyed the town. Made several trips to Oniks for Ice Cream. The house is a little unusual but met all our needs. Nice large dinner table. Kitchen was a little hard to figure out but pretty well stocked. Met the owner who was very nice. The beach was very nice. Plenty of good lunch and dinner options. Great vacation.

Great Michigan Get Away

Perfect place to meet up with family and enjoy the New Buffalo area, lake, and dunes. The large open living spaces were perfect to hangout after a day at the beach or shopping. The beds were comfortable and the home was very clean with nice appliances.

We were impressed with the inside of the home. Large, open, bright rooms. The amount of bedrooms was perfect for our party of five. Everything was available for our needs whether it was cooking, drinking, or entertainment.

October visit

Nice home in a quiet neighborhood. A good walk to downtown shops and restaurants with sidewalks part of the way. Beds were quite firm and only one tv on property that is not a smart tv. Hot tub and fire pit were nice amenities.

Girls’ weekend

House was very very clean and remarkably well equipped. Would definitely stay angain. Only item that should be addressed is a rug near the dining table. It needs to be better secured to avoid being a trip hazard.

Wonderful Weekend

This property was perfect for the three couples. We loved each getting to have a king-sized bed, loved the hot tub, the walkable to beach and restaurants location. Very clean, bright and comfortable! The only negative is not a negative with the property, but with the property management. I had a question about the hot tub before our stay, and my two messages through VRBO, message to Vacasa through their contact email, and text messages in response to texts from them all went unanswered. I also tried twice to call the Vacasa of Michigan number, and sat on hold for over 15 minutes before giving up. Property is excellent - property management communication needs improvement.
