Perfect place for a family gathering. 3 floors so we weren’t on top of each other. The weather was unseasonably warm so we got great use out of the pool. Quiet street. Walking distance to everywhere. 10/10

Perfect.

The house is so beautiful but functional. Fully stocked. The location was great for walking to local spots. We brought firewood to have a fire outside but there was no longer a firepit, so that was a bummer. But other than that we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Tara Doyle

Host profile image
Originally from Michigan, my husband and I now live outside Chicago with our three kids. We've dreamt of having a little family getaway in a place that feels like home, and we're so happy to be able to offer that same experience to our guests.

Why they chose this property

We've completely fallen for New Buffalo. We appreciate its diverse appeal, from the stunning beaches and charming small-town atmosphere with unique shops and restaurants, to the abundant outdoor activities like kayaking and hiking. This particular house is perfectly situated in a neighborhood we adore – it's quiet, just a short walk from downtown, and even has a pool.

What makes this property unique

We were drawn to this house's charming farmhouse aesthetic and its distinct, stylish decor. With ample space for everyone, it offers both comfort and character. The wood-burning fireplace adds cozy appeal for cooler evenings, while the front and back patios provide ideal spots for warm-weather relaxation.
