About this property

Spacious Harbor Dunes Oasis- Private Hot Tub & Fire Pit, 5m to Beach, Assoc Pool

Experience a peaceful retreat at our Harbor Dunes oasis, a spacious 3-bedroom home nestled within a serene old-growth forest. Located just 5 minutes from the heart of downtown New Buffalo, this property offers the perfect blend of wooded privacy and local adventure. Designed for easy group living, the home features four distinct outdoor experience zones tailored for a relaxing family getaway.

Many Ways to Relax Outdoors
The Private Hot Tub: Tucked away on the open-air side of the deck for daytime fun or evening cocktails under the stars. Note: We provide professional hot tub cleaning immediately before every check-in.

Screened Deck: The expansive wrap-around deck is screened-in on two sides, creating a comfortable, shaded extension of the living room.

The Fire Pit: Gather around the crackling fire with circular seating for starlit s'mores. Our complimentary "S'mores Kit" with skewers will welcome you upon arrival. You'll have everything you need to fully enjoy the fire pit on your first evening.

The Grilling Station: A dedicated circle of Adirondack chairs allows the group to relax while you show off your skills on the gas BBQ.

The Game Zone: Head behind the house for a spirited game of cornhole (bags) at our fourth seating area, complete with a dedicated ice bucket.

Comfortable, Well-Appointed Interiors
Inside, the home features an airy, open-concept design that connects the kitchen, living area, and dining space. This layout ensures no one is left out of the conversation during meal prep or movie night.

Indoor & Outdoor Dining: Enjoy long family dinners at our indoor dining table, or head to the open-air side of the deck for a meal at the round outdoor dining table.

Morning Coffee Your Way: With multiple outdoor seating areas and a screened-in porch, you can find the perfect quiet corner of the forest to enjoy your morning coffee. So peaceful.

The Primary Suite (Upper Level): A quiet sanctuary featuring vaulted ceilings, a private two-person screened balcony, and a massive en-suite bathroom. Indulge in the large jacuzzi tub, spacious walk-in shower, and dual vanities. (A washer and dryer are in one of the closets.)

Main Level Accommodations: Ideally laid out for families, the first floor includes a guest room with a Queen and Twin bed, plus a dedicated Bunk Room (Twin/Full and Twin/Twin bunks). A full bathroom with a shower/tub combo sits conveniently between the rooms.

Community Pool & Beach Readiness
The Pool: Our community pool is a very short stroll from our doorstep. It is the perfect spot to spend a long afternoon soaking up the sun on the poolside lounge chairs.

Beach Ready: We have made your 5 minute drive to the New Buffalo beach effortless. We provide 4 tailgate chairs with over-the-shoulder straps and fresh beach towels.

Local Exploration: Beyond New Buffalo's famous beach, the stunning Indiana Dunes are just 30 minutes away and absolutely worth a visit.

The Little Things Included
Travel light! We are happy to provide a supply of necessities, including toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher soap, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, aluminum foil, garbage bags, and basic condiments.

About the host

Hosted by Diane Zimmermann

Host profile image
I'm from the west Chicago suburbs. My husband and I bought this property new, and loved planting and watching the trees and gardens grow. I'm a widow now, so I don't get up there as often, but I do try to make it up during the holidays with my grandkids. Winters are also beautiful here.

Why they chose this property

We're just far enough from downtown to enjoy the quiet and peacefulness of a forest-like property. We enjoy the beautiful star-filled nights. I love sitting on the screened-in deck when it rains. It's very dark at night! Be careful and take the flashlights with you. It's a two-minute drive into town, the beach, kayak rentals, hiking, shopping and eating. We offer the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

The forested property. Take a walk around the neighborhood and checkout the beautiful homes. It's not uncommon to see deer families looking at you curiously. We've even seen wild turkeys.
