-This location is ideal in so many ways- we are just a short walk to Hummingbird lounge, Brewster's Italian, or waterside fine dining at Bentwood Tavern or The Terrace Room. From our home you'll enjoy the short walk to downtown New Buffalo and the beach.

Also we are just an hour away from Chicago by car or Amtrak, you'll soon be steps away to all the conveniences of Harbor Country. Hop on a shuttle to Four Winds Casino, or a short drive to Blue Chip Casino and the Outlet Mall. A great place to take walks to town or the beach as well as bike riding. Tour the wineries and micro-breweries and so much more.

For your information the local ordinance has quiet hours at 11pm and we ask that our guests respect that as we live on a quiet residential block. Strictly enforced. For that reason we do not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties. NO candles or open flames allowed on property - inside or outside. Also we have added an exterior camera to monitor the exterior of our home for liability reasons for our insurance. It is located at the side of driveway. There are absolutely no cameras located inside the house or facing the pool.
Pool will be closed October 18- May 10th.


There is a house guide in a binder at the property with all the information you will need.


Also, City of New Buffalo passed an ordinance, effective 6/14/21, that limits parking to 4 cars maximum, limits number of guests to 14, enforces the noise ordinance and requires a Reservation Summary. That form requests the full name and date of birth for the main contact, full name and age of each guest, and make, model and license plate number (including State) for each car that will be on the property. That form needs to be in the city’s hand no less than 24 hours before reservation. That form will be sent to you in a fillable format but if you would rather send me the information, I can fill it out for you. Thank you for your cooperation.

We loved our stay at Red Oak. My family was visiting from Ireland, and this was the perfect place for us to stay together where all the kids could enjoy ample pool time. The home was spotless and well-appointed, and much larger than it looks in photos. The neighborhood is peaceful and very conveniently located. I think a regular trip to Red Oak will become a family tradition for us!

A perfect getaway

This was a beautiful property in a lovely residential area close enough to downtown for a nice walk. My grandchildren were delighted with the pool (as were the adults who were happy that it was heated). The home is beautifully decorated and so comfortable and outfitted with top of the line appliances. The hosts are also very friendly and generous and seek to make your stay a real pleasure. Would absolutely stay again when we would want more than 2 bedrooms (the house has 5 spacious ones).

About the host

Hosted by Mary Lynn

Host profile image
My husband, Tom and I, purchased this property on our block last year and took our time and built what we feel is a dream house to share with others. We are originally from Chicago and spent 20 years raising our three daughters in Chelsea, MI before moving here to New Buffalo in 2014. We absolutely love this area and are excited to be able to provide a home to others to make great memories in the beautiful City of New Buffalo. Since we live across the street we are available if you have any questions or need anything.

Why they chose this property

While this property is on a quiet street, you are only blocks away from great restaurants, bars and a 10-15 minute walk to the majestic New Buffalo Beach. If you choose not to go to the beach, there is a beautiful in-ground pool awaiting you. The house has every amenity you can imagine as I have spent many trips away at VRBO properties and took lots of notes to make sure my guests have the best experience.

What makes this property unique

There are so many benefits to staying at our home. The one that stands out is our in ground heated pool with courtyard. That is a hit for all of our guests that can enjoy that.
We have 3 bedrooms on the first floor for those that cannot climb stairs. We have 3 bathrooms as we have discovered through traveling with our family that extra bathrooms are a plus. The fact that we have two family rooms would be ideal for couples traveling with children. The backyard is ideal for lawn games, a nice cozy fire at our fire pit. We know you will enjoy spending time out in the yard. The location is one of the high points for sure as you can walk to everything that New Buffalo offers and a short drive to all that Harbor Country offers. For those that love Casinos there are two casinos within 15 minutes.
