Why they chose this property

We chose New Buffalo for its convenient location, family-friendly feel, and proximity to the lake, downtown, and surrounding Harbor Country towns. It’s easy to explore, close to beaches and golf courses, and less than 90 minutes from Chicago, making it perfect for weekend escapes and longer stays.

What makes this property unique

The Eastshore isn’t just a place to stay, it’s a place to slow down. The home features three king-size beds, an en-suite bedroom, a private guest retreat, a kid-friendly bunk room with toys, and a flexible bonus room, all paired with high-end bedding and spa-inspired bath touches. Combined with a sunroom, hot tub, fire pit, and proximity to the beach and downtown New Buffalo, it offers comfort and versatility that's hard to find in one place.
