About this property

Private Forest Road to Upscale Lodge w/ Hot Tub, Sauna, Golf Cart, Bocci Court

You have found the perfect Michigan getaway nestled in the charming woods that line the coast of Lake Michigan. Our 3-story lodge is fully upgraded with upscale finishings and lavish amenities – all to be enjoyed in the privacy of our large secluded forest property. Our lodge can accommodate 13 guests in the 4 over-sized bedrooms. Additional beds are available upon request.

The open concept on the main level features a large kitchen that opens up to the family room, making it perfect for large gatherings. The main level has 3 doors to access the full length balcony overlooking the front yard. Adjacent to the kitchen you'll find a large screened porch with a teak dining table, wet bar, Weber grill and our favorite, the oversized porch swing. The lower level has a large sectional, 60" smart TV, fireplace, mini bar, wine fridge, sauna, bedroom area, full bathroom, laundry, and two sliding doors that open up to the front ground level. The upper level has two bedrooms and a full bathroom with permanent bedding for eight, plus two rollout cots in the closet.

The backyard features a brand new 7-person hot tub (delivered October 2021) with a wrap-around deck, outdoor shower, designated bon fire area and plenty of open forest to explore. The front of our lodge opens up to a 50' long ground-level patio (with two balcony doors to the lower level) overlooking the forest floor landscape and a full size bocci ball court. We invite you to take a seat on the front porch swing and take in the surrounding nature in complete solitude.

The property has a long gravel driveway leading up to a 3-car garage. The driveway can accommodate 6-8 cars. In the garage you'll find all sorts of fun, including the golf cart, bocci balls, volleyball set, tennis rackets, beach chairs, golf clubs, coolers, etc.

If you're looking at this listing you already know the charm and adventure that you can find in New Buffalo, Michigan - just 75 miles from Chicago. It's time for you to log that family time around a camp fire, soak in the hot tub, hop on the golf cart and head to the beach or treat yourself at one of area's many wineries and restaurants. From our lodge you're just 5 minutes by bike or golf cart to the private beach or a 9 minute drive to New Buffalo's public beach.

Why they chose this property

If you're familiar with New Buffalo, you have probably seen all of the streets and neighborhoods become ever more saturated with new construction. What we have always loved most about New Buffalo is the feeling of escaping from the crammed and industrial norms of city/suburban life. While other areas of New Buffalo have sadly become deforested and overcrowded, our private association neighborhood has managed to preserve that solitude. You'll know exactly what we're talking about as soon as you turn onto the private road.
