Great Fall Getaway

We had a wonderful fall getaway with our elderly parents at this house! It was located near many restaurants and close to the town. The house was well equipped with spices, toiletry supplies, paper towels, trash bags and other essentials. Brittany was very easy to contact when we had a question and replied quickly. The house was adorable and the hot tub lovely. We would rent this house again in the future.

Traditions To Continue

My boyfriend’s Family has been coming to new Buffalo since the 80s. We decided to continue through addition and join his family with our own space. The home was absolutely adorable! The owner of the property was great with communication and takes extreme pride in the rental. We felt so comfortable and cozy. Great location! And got the best night sleep every night! Can’t wait to return to continue the tradition next year.

Friends Reunion

This is our second stay at this property though now owned by a different person. The house is beautiful. The living room seating is fantastic for three ladies to sit and catch up and talk and talk and talk. Beds are comfy. Everything you need is supplied in the kitchen. A great game table, likely meant for eating breakfast, is immediately off the kitchen. Hot tub is a huge plus as is the wonderful outdoor seating. All is clean. We walked to Ghost Isle Brewey, a good restaurant with lots of choices. You are very close to Galien River preserve, a beautiful place to walk though temporarily closed due to storm damage. Within minutes drive to the Staymaker restaurant in Three Oaks. Try to take in a show at the Acorn theater if you go. New Buffalo has a beautiful beach, perfect for catching the sunset. Very easy check in and great communication with the owner. I would stay here every time I visit New Buffalo.

I stayed here with 4 of my friends for a girls weekend. We had a great time in the hot tub and lounging on the comfortable couch while enjoying the fireplace. All of the rooms and beds were very comfortable. The host created an easy to read but thorough guide to the property. It’s a bit of a walk to the downtown but manageable in good weather. The neighborhood seemed very safe and quiet. I would absolutely stay here again!
