The pool was fantastic! Our grandsons loved the opportunity to spend our warm summer vacation days swimming. The proximity to the beach was wonderful and watching the New Buffalo 4th of July fireworks from the beach made for precious family memories. Thank you so much!

The house was clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. The layout was perfect for our 3 families that came. The pool is huge and was a great asset to the house. Gina responded quickly to all my inquiries and was very nice. Close to downtown New Buffalo to do all the touristy things but also a quick walk to a private beach! Beach chairs and inflatables were provided as well which were great! There was a sewage gas smell in the back that was unpleasant and came and went during our stay. Overall would go again!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy the home’s layout worked well for your three families and that you enjoyed the large pool, private beach access, and all the extras provided for your stay. We also truly appreciate your kind words about our communication. We did want to follow up on the odor you experienced. Because it came and went, it took some investigating after your stay to determine the source. We ultimately discovered a broken pipe underground near the driveway, which was likely responsible for the intermittent odor and we were able to address the issue. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we’re so glad that despite this inconvenience, you enjoyed your time at the home and would return. We would absolutely love to welcome you back!
