Family Vacation
The house met our needs but a little unusual. New Buffalo is a great town with lots of restaurants and great beach. Oinks is a must for Ice Cream. The house was clean and had plenty of seating for relaxing and eating. Met the owner who was very nice. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Downtown Hideaway.
If you have a big group this is a great place to stay. Super spacious, plenty of seating, king size beds, all the wonderful amenities you would get from home with plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, and games for a fun filled weekend.
First trip to New Buffalo with Adult children and a new born. Really enjoyed the town. Made several trips to Oniks for Ice Cream. The house is a little unusual but met all our needs. Nice large dinner table. Kitchen was a little hard to figure out but pretty well stocked. Met the owner who was very nice. The beach was very nice. Plenty of good lunch and dinner options. Great vacation.

Great Michigan Get Away
Perfect place to meet up with family and enjoy the New Buffalo area, lake, and dunes. The large open living spaces were perfect to hangout after a day at the beach or shopping. The beds were comfortable and the home was very clean with nice appliances.
Great amenities in this beautiful home. Perfect for a group of friends or family. Lots of space to hang out in the house, but walkable to town and the beach.
We were impressed with the inside of the home. Large, open, bright rooms. The amount of bedrooms was perfect for our party of five. Everything was available for our needs whether it was cooking, drinking, or entertainment.
Nice home in a quiet neighborhood. A good walk to downtown shops and restaurants with sidewalks part of the way. Beds were quite firm and only one tv on property that is not a smart tv. Hot tub and fire pit were nice amenities.

House was very very clean and remarkably well equipped. Would definitely stay angain.
Only item that should be addressed is a rug near the dining table. It needs to be better secured to avoid being a trip hazard.
