I can see why this place consistently gets five-star reviews! The house is beautiful and very clean and comfortable. I would absolutely love to stay here again. New Buffalo is a nice town with a lot of restaurants, shops and beaches. Sheilah was a wonderful host and quick to respond to any questions. Also, the cleaning crew found a very expensive item my husband left behind and agreed to mail it to us!! If you are considering visiting New Buffalo, you can't go wrong with staying here!

This house was amazing! Way bigger and nicer than the pictures! Went for a girls weekend with my mom and sisters and this house had everything we needed! We loved sitting in the all seasons room and the house was close enough to everything downtown! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time. The space was perfectly equipped with everything you need. We have a three year old and this home made it easy to be on vacation with him. Very family friendly, easy to get around, and lots to do both on the house and around the town.

Perfect way to describe the Assoc - "cute, little scenic beach". It's very rocky this year but the sunsets are THE best!

This Vrbo rental offers a comfortable stay with plenty of amenities. The large kitchen is well-equipped and home has ample sitting areas including a lovely three-season room.However, the property name and description overstated the ease of lake access and proximity, which was disappointing to us as it was the main reason we chose it.

Association beach is only a block and half away from the home. This is what the listing states. Could you not find it?!? Maps and location of the beaches are printed in the home - you can also reach out to me.

Our stay at A Stone’s Throw in New Buffalo, MI was absolutely wonderful! I traveled with my daughter and 3-year-old granddaughter, and we couldn’t have asked for a more comfortable and welcoming place to stay.The house has plenty of comfortable seating across two living spaces, plus a beautiful glass-enclosed three-season room that quickly became one of our favorite spots. It was perfect for meals, snacks, drinks, cards, and games—and it was also a wonderful place to watch the deer!The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped with everything we could possibly need. We especially loved the thoughtfully designed children’s bedroom, complete with two twin beds and a wonderful selection of age-appropriate toys and books that my granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed.Every nook and cranny of the home was impeccably clean—so clean that it honestly felt as though we were the very first guests to ever stay there. The decor is beautiful, comfortable, and relaxing, and so many thoughtful details throughout the home made our stay feel special.We would absolutely stay at A Stone’s Throw again and again. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting New Buffalo!Finally, the host kept all of the details streamlined and easy. Including helpful reminders and hints inside the house. Very easy and minimal work on our end to get booked, get in, and get out. Thank You!

If I had any questions for the host, she messaged me immediately. The home is very clean and everything you need is there. Beautiful sunroom and spent all our time in there. Close to town to walk to. Very quiet neighborhood. This is our third year at the home and have already booked for next year. This home has been perfect for us. 5 Cousins getting together every year, coming in from different locations.
