The house was fantastic, especially for someone with multiple small kids like us. They had everything we could need there and it all was in excellent working condition. No detail was spared to make this a worry free and fantastic place to stay to enjoy a summer holiday getaway. The location also couldn’t have been better and the community pool was a hit for all. Thank you!

New Buffalo Family Trip

We have been coming to New Buffalo for a decade as part of an annual family trip that has been going on for over 20 years. This is the first time that we’ve stayed longer than a weekend and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. The house was well equipped for children, was very clean and stocked with provisions for vacation, and the location is fantastic. It’s easy to get downtown and to the beach while also having fantastic pool access. Check In/Out was very easy.
