Juniper Presents: Lakefront Getaway and Outdoor Living Redefined

Fabulous views of Lake Michigan are both inside and out of this New Buffalo 3BR/2BA vacation home. With a sunroom and 3 walls of windows for viewing the lake and expansive backyard, plus a deck w/ a grill, you can't miss! Add chic-and-comfy furnishings and a fireplace, plus a kitchen featuring custom wood cabinets, white marble island and deck access. The Master BR has a Queen bed and lake view. The 2 other BRs each have 2 twin beds. Super-near upscale shops, restaurants and New Buffalo beach.

THE SPACE
Lake Michigan Getaway has a spacious open floor plan all on one level with a wall of windows looking out over the expansive backyard and Lake Michigan. The kitchen opens out to the deck for easy indoor/outdoor entertaining and flows through to the living area so everyone can enjoy each other's company and the glorious view.

The primary bedroom has a queen bed and lake view, too! Two additional bedrooms – each with 2 twin beds - and two full baths, comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. An all-season sunroom has three walls of windows looking out toward the lake and gives your group another great spot to hang out, enjoy a card game, watch a movie, or just relax and watch the ever-changing colors and moods of Lake Michigan.

This is a quiet residential neighborhood that takes you away from the bustle of downtown, yet you're just a bike ride away from a host of shops, restaurants, and the New Buffalo public beach.

Lake Michigan beauty
House was very nice and the view spectacular. It was clean and easy to check in and the customer service was excellent throughout the whole process. I really appreciated them reaching out while we were there to see if we needed anything and responding very promptly. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Birthday weekend!
The house was perfect for us. The views were amazing even with the weather being a little bit of a winter mix. The house was a great size and able to spread out and have plenty of sitting areas or to hang out.

Beautiful view but has maintenance issues. Not luxury.
We enjoyed our stay because of the location, but the house definitely needs maintenance. 1. Metal dining chairs loose and would have resulted in fall for senior family member if someone had not been close enough to catch her. My brother borrowed Allen wrench from neighbor and tightened all of them. 2. Windows did not have curtains and broom stick in one that we hung towels on. It was right next to the street where people were walking by. The blinds on some windows aren’t installed and just laying on top of the brackets. Fell as soon as tried to open and had to call brother for help so it didn’t hit my sisters head on the other bed. 3. The mattresses on the twin beds need replaced. One was so hard it couldn’t be slept on. 4. There is a step up going from room to sunroom that needs marked somehow in order to ensure no tripping. After couple of times and warning the others we managed but it is an accident waiting to happen. 5. There are 3 tv’s for watching tv. Only one worked and got reception. No instructions. No We loved being on Lake Michigan but would not pay the summer price for the house for sure. We would go back if all of the issues were solved and the place spruced up some.

Girls weekend
We stayed at Wild Horse Run for a quick weekend getaway. We had originally booked a house on the beach, but a cracked furnace meant we had to switch houses. Liz was quick to get a hold of me and gave me several houses to chose from and was very apologetic over something that was not her fault. The house was lovely and perfectly laid out for what we needed. The hot tub was lovely and the warmers on the back screened in porches were magnificent for coffee on the porch watching the wildlife. We were closely situated to downtown New Buffalo. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Great experience!!!
We booked this specifically because of the hottub and it was amazing! There are huge windows that lookout onto the water and the sound of the waves were very relaxing while reading on the deck or in the hottub. The kitchen was very well stocked and there were plenty of extra blankets. The two bathrooms were nice for rinsing off after the hottub or taking a shower and still having one available for everyone. It is a nice area or walking around and you can see the sunset from the hottub through the trees. 10/10 would highly recommend and would definitely stay again! There is also extra public parking close because there is no street parking and it is RIGHT by the train station which was perfect for some out of town friends coming in from Chicago!

We came for a quick weekend getaway as a family of 3 (myself, husband, 2 yo daughter). I will say that what you’re paying for is the view - perfect! The beds are comfortable and the place was very clean. We were a little surprised at how outdated the whole place was - very 60s/70s vibe, but it was fine for what we needed. If you’re coming for a great view in a good location for driving distance to your favorite spots, this is it.

Perfect, quality, family Weekend
The views and the jacuzzi made this stay special and truly relaxing. Love the kitchen! Excellent, kind, professional communication with Juniper. Quality restaurants, cafes, and markets. Just right for our family with adult and teen children and our dog.

Christmas Stay
We have stayed in a number of VRBOs in over twenty visits to the area from Michiana to Grand Haven. The accommodations were variable in amenities but always acceptable. Overall we especially enjoyed the layout of the living area and kitchen. We were disappointed that: 1- One bedroom had no window treatment of any kind. There was a bar for a curtain but no curtain, drapes, or blinds to darken the room. 2- We looked forward to the ambiance of the gas fireplace but could not leave it on due to noxious fumes that all five of us found so intolerably annoying that we had to turn it off. Charles did his best to troubleshoot but was unable to resolve or improve the situation. 3- The hot tub was cloudy and we felt uncomfortable getting back in after our first use. Cailin was very responsive but I didn’t want to text her on Christmas Day. We were pleasantly surprised that someone showed up unsolicited to service the tub on 12/26. He too noted as did we that the water had a slight green cast to it and was turbid. He found that the chlorine level was “zero” and “should be 2-5 parts per million”. After his shock treatment we noted improvement in the color and a reassuring mild scent of chlorine and were comfortable getting back in. We regretted that the hot tub wasn’t better maintained upon our arrival and that we missed other opportunities to enjoy it. 4- We accidentally discovered that dogs had used the lawn. Fortunately my wife found this on her shoe immediately. No more space. Call?

Many Thanks
Extremely clean, unbeatable location and view, with ample space to spread out. Pet friendly and very welcoming environment. Only minutes from down town New Buffalo, Stray Dog and all the good things. It's an ideal location for a friends getaway with plenty of sleeping spaces and communal areas for visiting and relaxing. Perfect retreat

What a view!
This stay was such a treat for us. The views alone were amazing. Great place for a relaxing weekend getaway. Very clean, stocked kitchen with all the tools you need to cook meals and the hot tub was on and ready to take a dip. Shopping and casinos were no further than 20 minutes away. Will absolutely come again. Thank you!
