    Hydrangea House



    The Space:

    Perched right in the vibrant downtown of New Buffalo on Whittaker Street, you will be in the heart of all of the action within walking distance of Lake Michigan, local restaurants, and shopping! Though this is a busier street here in town, inside you will find calm neutral colors, comfortable furnishings, and an open layout that will be ideal for entertaining the whole gang after full days of exploring the city. When everyone builds up an appetite, the fully equipped kitchen features a gas range, deep sink, and all of the utensils of home is more than ready to assist with whipping up tasty meals. Plus, the kitchen table is great for gathering with loved ones as the chef of the group shows off their skills. When the sun starts to dip towards the horizon, head out to the firepit and tell favorite stories as the stars come out or stream a favorite movie in the living room on the flatscreen TV! If you want a bit more privacy, the main bedroom will spoil you with a jetted tub and a large walk-in closet. Don't wait a minute longer, this is your perfect home-away-from-home!

Charming home right in town!

The hydrangea house was such a pleasant stay! It was convenient to town. We parked our car once we got there and walked the whole week. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked well to make us feel right at home. This charming cozy house was a wonderful stay for a vacation. I would definitely recommend staying there.

First visit to New Buffalo

The house was in a great location. I really like the town. There was a bad thunderstorm while we were there and the power was out for about 6 hours at night. The property managers checked to make sure we were ok the next day. I would request that the home have at least one flashlight available for situations like this. The master bedroom and bathroom is really nice. The other two bedrooms aren’t ideal for adult guests because there are two twin beds crammed into each of the small rooms.

One problem

Stay was fine. However, on the first night the HVCA did not work. Fortunately, the temperature that night was in the 60's. Called the customer number that night and a crew repaired it the next morning. The temp dropped that night, so it was good that the repair was made.

Lovely older home that’s been updated. Across the street from the Church Brewery and one block from downtown. A short five minute drive to the beautiful local beach. We very much enjoyed our stay.

The home was great. Huge master bedroom! The brewery across the street was a lot of fun, and didn’t seem to add any noise at night. I would stay here again!

Great location, good for small family

Easy to walk to the heart of New Buffalo shopping and dining. Several newer features; still needs some updates to make it a great house.

Clean, comfy & cozy. Walking distance to downtown dining & shopping. Walking distance to the beach too, but easier to drive and park at new buffalo public beach for the day with all the gear. The kitchen is open to the living room which was nice for everyone hanging out in the morning and at night.

Location was great and the house was clean. The living area was small so we didn’t really have a place for everyone at night (4 adults/2 young kids). The noise from the road was high, but not unbearable (not a heavy sleeper). Again we picked this place for location and it provided what we needed.

This property was as advertised. The location was the best feature. It is an older property but the price reflects that especially in popular Nee Buffalo. We stayed for a long weekend and didn’t use the kitchen. Our biggest complaint was the linens (towels, bedding). Generally they were not comfortable, were old/used and some were stained.

The house was nice and AC worked great. Some extra nice touches were: packets of makeup remover, stool in the master bath for makeup counter, and travel size soap, shampoo/conditioner, and excellent water pressure in showers. A few items were broken: master shower door off the track, lamp switch to left of master bed broken, and missing pole to twist open blinds in bedroom off LR.

Great home for a visit to New Buffalo!

My family of five rented this home for a long weekend visit to New Buffalo. Location was great and we could walk downtown with ease. The master is very spacious and has a large bathroom. The home has everything you could need and it was all very clean. What i thought would be a complaint actually turned out well. The Televisions in the house don't have a subscription so it was just local news but that forced my kids to play boardgames and interact with each other which was great! This is the perfect home for a family of six or less and we would definitely stay again.

New Buffalo Beach Stay

The location of this house was great, easy to find as its on the main road into town, and right across from a fantastic brewery/pizza restaurant and just blocks from the rest of the shops/restaurants in town. The master bedroom and bathroom were the highlight of this house, very clean and spacious. The other rooms were fairly small and living room not large enough to have a full size couch unfortunately - but this was known when booking. I’d say the biggest disappointment is that for a house in a beach town, it had no beach amenities - only 3 beach towels in a 6 person house, no beach chairs/umbrella/sand toys so we had to buy our own and ended up leaving behind for the next renter as we couldn’t take them on the plane home. Other than that, the home serves its purpose for our trip. It was clean and had enough space for our small family.

Cute and Clean House, Great Location, not responsive to maintenance call

The house was cute, clean, comfortable and in a great location. As noted in description, it's on a busier street. A brewery/restaurant patio is definitely within hearing range. Kitchen only had three coffee mugs. We put them and coffee maker pot in dishwasher, which locked shut, and we were unable to use them for rest of weekend. Called maintenance at 4:10 on Saturday but they had not come by Sunday at noon when we left. We had to leave our personal dishes we had brought. One of three chairs by firepit was broken. Host did not supply kleenex and provided only one bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth per guest for a three night stay, so we did laundry. The soap/shampoo/conditioner provided was tiny and not enough for three nights. I'd bring your own toiletries and kleenex.

Underwhelmed

First the positives.. the master bedroom was very nice... the bed in that room was wonderfully comfortable. Communication with owner very good.. especially when the first day the main toilet didnt work and plumber had to come in.. sink fixture was also plugged and needed fixed. I contacted them when shower door wouldn't close and owner was very prompt to respond and have fixed.. appreciated. Nice location in town. But, overall was very underwhelmed. The front of home had a lot of overgrown plants and weeds..a bureau in main bedroom had a huge hole broken in the side, main table maybe 4 could sit, but 6 people..too tight... one towel or so per person.. although i could probably have contacted mgmt to have more brought...or could have washed but only 2 washing machine pods were provided for the stay.Overall....meh... compared to all my other vrbos I've had ...i was happy we had a family member who lived in the area so we could use her kitchen and living room, etc. Overall... make sure to read all the details and size of rooms etc. We probably won't visit this vrbo again.
