This was our second stay at Soulshine inn and we enjoyed it just as much as our first. Excellent location, easy to walk to anything in New Buffalo and 15-20 minute drive to Warren Dunes or Indiana Dunes. The backyard is large and completely fenced for the dogs. House is comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay. Thanks Debra!

Comfortable house and awesome backyard

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary at the Soulshine Inn. Communication with the host was great. The house is adorably decorated with pictures of dogs. The bed was very comfortable. The neighborhood is so quiet. The kitchen is well equipped. We really enjoyed hanging out on the back deck and patio. It was an easy walk to New Buffalo's main street, Oinks ice cream and Just Jackie's cafe. We will definitely be back as we enjoyed this house immensely.

Love the Lake Life

We had a great time at this property! It's clean, comfy, and just right for an escape from the day-to-day. It's proximity to town (especially ice cream) is great, and it's super easy to get to beaches, as well! We had a wonderful time!
