This home was perfect for us and our 2 Boston terriers! The fenced in backyard was fantastic for the dogs and we were so close to everything. My husband commented that it was the best bed/night sleep he’s ever gotten in a rental!

We love visiting New Buffalo. The house is very comfortable and the hosts strive to make you feel at home. From this home you can easily walk to restaurants, the beach and to get ice cream. The backyard on this property is very nice, private and relaxing.

The SoulShine Inn was the perfect stay in a perfect location - a neighborhood where we felt comfortable. The house was adorable, clean and had everything we needed. Most surprising was the beautiful fenced in yard area. The Inn was very welcoming and comfortable for us and our precious dog. Thank you. We have referred this location to others and plan to return ourselves.
