Gorgeous house and bonus house in a perfect location!

The main house and guest house are just decorated gorgeously. High end and so comfortable! Relaxing wooded lot a short walk from the beach and short drive to all the fun restaurants, shops, breweries in new Buffalo and surrounding. We wished it was a little warmer during our stay but we’re thankful for the fireplace, outdoor fire pit and hot tub. Tons of seating indoors and out. Will definitely stay again!

Wonderful getaway!

Everything from the location, decor, cleanliness, and communication with the property owner was perfect for a short getaway with the family! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, the beds & couches were super comfortable, and we all enjoyed hanging out in the beautiful back yard and hot tub. 10/10 recommend!

New Buffalo Retreat

A great family get away. The cottage & guesthouse were a perfect fit for our family of 6. The amenities were great with separation for quiet times along with a golf cart, bikes, one tandem bike, hot tub, fire place and very comfortable accommodations. You will be sure to relax & enjoy you time.

Place of comfort

Our family spent our spring break at this property and we had the best time. Every part of this place is well thought out and made for gathering. The kitchen is perfect. The couches and beds are a dream. Great proximity to everything. We visited the Great Escape Spa and the Shady Lane winery and also highly recommend them both. We would love to stay here again.

Cool house for a long weekend away from Chicago. The properties literally right next to the IN border which made keeping time a little harder. The property was great for a get away with a big group. There are bikes, a golf cart and lots of other things that make getting to the beach easy.

Great 2 day Getaway

The house was beautiful and was as described. Only complaint was that the jacuzzi was dirty. The property manager was very responsive and had someone out within the hour to drain and clean it. Overall great experience. We will return.

Yucky Hot Tub

It was disgusting. The hot tub looked as if it had not been cleaned in months. We contacted the property manager to inquire about getting it cleaned. The next day, they responded and had someone there to clean it. Whoever did the cleaning did a terrible job. We got in and things started floating around that looked like algae. We got out and did not get back in. Very disappointing as the hot tub was our main attraction to this home.

SO LOVELY

We had such a great week at this house! The space is beautiful indoors and out. We were able to take nice walks each day, enjoy the beach, and the incredible screened-in porch. It was the perfect retreat to celebrate my husband and I's anniversary. Lots of cool restaurants to visit in both New Buffalo & Michigan City. The neighbors were very friendly, safe neighborhood, all around great stay. Jack was very kind, and even offered recommendations on restaurants. This is a place we'd love to stay again.
