Annual 5 Girl Cousins Get Together
The size of the home and location was perfect for our cousins get together. Walking to shops and restaurants was great. Our favorite spot in the home was the 3 seasons room. We had a couple things come up and our host responded instantly and they were taken care of. She was wonderful. We are already booking for next year.

Clean house
Older house, but clean. And that matters to us. Plenty of games, bikes, books. Smaller bedrooms, but good beds and pillows. We would consider staying here again.

Perfect!
I would definitely stay at Stones Throw the next time I visit New Buffalo. Location is close to all the shops and restaurants. Listing is accurate and the house is adorable and cozy. Everything we needed for a girls weekend. House was well stocked, very clean and owner was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. We loved our stay!
