Plus, it's within walking distance to the Amtrak Station for a quick commute to Chicago!
Recently listed by Travel + Leisure magazine as one of America’s 50 Best Places to Travel, New Buffalo – just 70 miles from Chicago – is not only known for its pristine beaches but also its wide range of outdoor activities, fine restaurants, art galleries, vintage and antique stores, stylish boutiques, distinguished wineries, and local craft beer pubs. And the fact is, Harbor Haven is super-close to all of these! Plus, you’re less than a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor – which includes boat, jet-ski, kayak, and other watercraft rentals, as well as fishing expeditions and day or evening cruises.
There are all sorts of nearby woodland, lake, and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore, the most popular of which is Warren Dunes State Park, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, gorgeous beachfront, and wetland trails, as well as its extraordinary birdwatching! You and your guests might relish visiting New Buffalo’s Oselka Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment, and tennis courts. And for even more variety, nearby Union Pier also has a number of other great restaurants, coffee shops, and breakfast spots. Plus, being so centrally located, there are guided tours of local vineyards and award-winning breweries.

This location is close to the main area and the neighborhood was nice. The house was very clean and communication with the owner was great. While we stayed over a winter weekend it is a perfect place to stay in the summer months.

Christine - Thank you for this too kind review of the property and surrounding areas! We hope to host you again soon!
We really enjoyed this property. Great location and friendly neighbors in the housing association. The beds were unbelievably cozy. There are a few minor fixes that are needed, but nothing that would stop us from renting this property again.
