We stayed at Stones Throw last year for our Notre Dame football weekend and were so happy the house was available this year! Perfect location for everything, restaurants, shopping, wineries, and easy drive to South Bend for the game.
Very private, home was clean and had everything we could want or need. Beds were comfy and plenty of room for our stay. Host was very quick to answer any questions.Would definitely recommend this home.
This is our 2nd year staying here for Mother's Day weekend & we loved it! It's clean, comfortable, quiet & close to downtown. The owner if very responsive to any questions.
This house is a gem! It has an open floor plan with very nice furnishings and a lovely screened in sunroom. We visited the neighborhood beach in the evenings to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. Had a great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! Great location in a quiet neighborhood, with lots of space. We loved the sunroom. The yard was big, though the weather didn't really allow us to use the outdoor spaces. House is located close to the beach and downtown. Great place!
Our second time staying, and the place is still wonderful -- exactly as described and pictured. Cute, quiet, neighborhood, easy walk to town. Comfortable and clean accommodation. Will be happy to stay again!
We stay every year around this area for a girls football weekend, for last 8 yrs. This has been the best yet that we stayed at. Roomy, clean and loved the sun room the most! Look forward to coming back! Thanks!
This is our fifth time staying at Sheilah’s place, and every time the house is even nicer than the last time. Sheilah’s cleanliness and attention to detail are second to none, and I never cease to be amazed at how she is always upgrading the place in both big and small ways.
Always need some summertime in Michigan . Great weather, eats, relaxation and berry pickin… oh yes and beach time. Thanks to a great place with plenty of room.
Our second time here. We are a group of friends that enjoyed this home so much last fall, we decided to book for our spring trip, and will be coming back again! It's so spacious and comfortable and the host is awesome, you won't be disappointed!
This is our 2nd year to stay at Stones Throw. It is a perfect size for 5 adults. Everything is very nice. The kitchen has everything you need. Our favorite room is the 3 season room. That’s where we spent all our time in. I am booking again for next year.
3rd year here - never disappoints!
From the simplicity of check in to the cleanliness of the property, all is outstanding! Hands down the screened in porch makes this house!
We will definitely come back!!!
Thank you! My Dad and sisters surprised me with this trip to celebrate my end of breast cancer treatments! Your house was so warm and great! Thank you for a great small vacation!
Literally the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us :) Great location! Great restaurants just a short walk from the home. Overall 10/10 experience in New Buffalo!
I decided to take my adult children on a mini vacation for some family bonding time.
This was the perfect place, we loved everything about this house. It was perfect, very accommodating and so close to everything.
The owner's recommendations were spot on.
We enjoyed time at the beach during the day and game time and movies at night.
Do yourself a favor and stay here for getaway.
Lovely property, looks as good as it does in the pictures. Clean, updated, and well maintained. Very quiet neighborhood. We absolutely loved the 3 seasons room. Close to stores and restaurants. Off street parking and easy check in process. The owners were friendly and prompt replying to questions. We would stay there again.
We had a wonderful stay! I was most impressed with how clean the entire place was, as well as how well stocked it was with anything we needed and more. The thorough information provided in advance were very appreciated, as well.
The king bed was very comfortable, my husband and I joked that we needed to take it home! lol My kids said the other beds were comfortable as well, and we all slept great over our 3 night stay.
If we come to the area again, we’ll definitely stay at “stone’s throw” again!
This house had it all! The location was excellent, about 10 min walk to the marina and close to everything. It was in a quiet neighborhood and cute little area. The cleanliness of this house was 12/10! We had everything we needed and more. Ours boys (5 and 2.5) loved the house! Thanks so much for the great place to stay! We can’t wait to come back again!
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!
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.
