You’re so close to downtown New Buffalo and the beach when you stay at this charming craftsman, but there’s so much to do at home, you won’t want to leave. Gathering spaces abound, from a cozy basement seating area with a TV, to a totally tricked-out garage featuring a private hot tub, another TV and more seating, to a lovely stone patio with Adirondack chairs and a fire pit, perfect for cozy evenings at home.

Start the day on the thoughtfully decorated, glassed-in porch with a cup of coffee. Don’t feel like making it yourself? No problem – you’re a half-mile from coffeeshops downtown. If you’re eating in for breakfast, the updated kitchen offers a full suite of stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space, and all the gadgets you need to whip up a feast. There’s a dining area for eight, or grab a barstool to keep it casual.

Slip on your swimsuit and head to the beach for the day after you eat, or relax at home. When you return in the evening, take your pick of gathering areas, or stream a movie together in the main living room. If you’ve got work to catch up on, there’s a desk and chair in the loft upstairs. You’ve got four bedrooms to choose from at the end of the night, with three in the main house and one in the garage apartment above the hot tub. The screened-in fireplace room out back is perfect for an evening cocktail, but end the night under the stars around the fire pit, reminiscing about the day you had – and planning the fun you’ll have tomorrow.

Pictures don’t do this home justice
We were so excited to stay at the house, but when we got there our expectations were blown away. The house was clean, spacious and had so many fun hang out areas. The decor added to the charm. They thought of every amenity you would need for a get away. The kitchen utensils, plates, bowls, linens, bath towels were all higher quality. It was a wonderful spot for a girls weekend. Wishing we could have a few more days to enjoy the home even more.

Disliked: Communication
Cute house, great location, poor communication
The house was clean, well stocked with bedding and linens. There is no basketball hoop, despite the pictures and the air hockey table didn’t work. I also reported problems with the washer, no response from the property group. You’ll love the house, just don’t expect anything more than automated communication.
