Great house and location! Owner was very responsive and house was in great shape, and exceeded our expectations. So much to do within a short walking distance. Highly recommend and we would book again!
I came with a group of women and we enjoyed the house very much. It was clean and nicely located near town. We enjoyed the neighborhood pool, which was just down on the corner and the fire pit in the back yard. Communication with the owner was very good. I would recommend staying here.
The 3-bed, 3-bath house was perfect for our friend trip. Location allowed us to walk to dinner and still drive to local antique shops in Three Oaks and Lakeside.The house was clean and the screened porch was a great place to socialize after dark.
We had the best time at this Airbnb. Walkable to everything in new Buffalo. House was clean, adorable and very well stocked! Owners were very sweet and attentive. We will definitely be back again!
We had a great stay in New Buffalo, this spot was close to everything, warm and nice inside, and the beds were comfy. We were a little sad to see the hot tub was gone. Would come back again!

Hi Sam. We’ve never had a hot tub, but we do have a jacuzzi tub in the basement bathroom. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Summer beach getaway with family
Beautifully decorated and comfortable home in a great location! So easy to walk to the grocery store, restaurants, and beach. Would not hesitate to stay here again and the owner was very responsive to any questions. Loved our stay.
This charming home was immaculate & such a great location. All you could want for a weekend getaway without having to drive to restaurants, boat harbor, pool, etc. Tracey was fantastic with communication and really appreciated everything about our stay. Can't wait until next time!
We had an outstanding experience at this property. It is convenient to downtown New Buffalo, the shops and dining. Convenient to the beach and marina. The house was clean and the owners did a great job of communicating with us. Highly recommended!

Hi Randy. Just curious why you didn't give my home a 5-star review. I strive to make my home a wonderful get-away for my guests.
The house is absolutely adorable. It's walking distance to the main street in New Buffalo with Stray Dog, Brewsters etc.
It's in a very convenient area, and a cute little community.
The host was very responsive.
Enjoyed the stay and would absolutely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in New Buffalo. The house is very well appointed and comfortable. The location makes visiting the beach, socializing and grabbing a bite to eat super easy. We couldn't ask for more.
We had two families of four stay at this property - we had a wonderful winter getaway. It was an easy walk to restaurants and the waterfront. The house was clean, cozy, and well stocked. Tracey was very responsive. We would definitely love to stay here a summer visit.

About the host
Hosted by Tracey Lowenthal
We live in Chicago and have come out to "the country" for years, staying at our parents' cabin in Union Pier. Now that we're empty nester's and aren't spending our weekends at our kids' sporting events, we have the time to unwind in beautiful SW Michigan. We're very active, and the area has so much to offer, including jogging, biking, tennis/pickleball, kayaking, swimming and water sports, wineries and breweries, restaurants and bars, antiquing, farmer's markets and festivals, and gorgeous sunsets.
Why they chose this property
We felt like this house had the best of everything. A comfortable, open layout with 2 outdoor screened-in spaces, a quiet neighborhood, a pool nearby, yet walking distance to all that the town has to offer and the lakefront.
What makes this property unique
The neighborhood is so charming--all the houses are similar in style, but different colors and accents. We see many people out walking their dogs or tooling around on their bikes. It truly feels like a relaxing get-away!
