Wine Tasting Weekend

Review Submitted: 10/02/08
This is the first time we have been at this great house when it wasn't summer. As usual the house is immaculate and very homey. We came up for the weekend to go wine tasting and watch the great sunsets after sampling a few of our purchases. The weekend we were there the weather was perfect and the beach fairly deserted. We have never been disappointed with this rental and have recommended it to others who were looking to rent in the area. If you come up you must try a great ice cream place in New Buffalo called Oinks. My husband and I and family really love this home and the relaxed atmosphere. We can't wait to return. Kris W

Perfect Beachfront Getaway

The house is right on the lake and everything from the sunny exterior to the beachy decor makes it the perfect beach getaway. The view from the master bedroom was stunning and we spent the weekend listening to the waves and enjoying the breeze on the deck. Though we ran out of time for hot-tubing, I will be sure to use it next time! The owners were thoughtful and responsive to our questions and gave great suggestions for nearby activities (wine tasting, horseback riding, brunch and dinner options) I would definitely stay here again.

my family rented this house (and the one across the street, Lake View) for a family reunion and we were incredibly happy with our choice. this house did sleep 10 (including two small children) and was easy, pretty and perfectly stocked and set up to work. the owners are very generous with supplies from linens to lotion to kitchen supplies and the house was clean and well furnished. you do feel the lake breeze and there are beautiful big decks and porches for sitting and relaxing, including a hot tub. i would absolutely recommend checking this out for a big gathering like ours or just a quiet time to relax by Lake Michigan.

Absolutely wonderful, clean, comfortable, well laid out cottage. We loved our stay. It's actually in Michiana, a few miles W of NB, close enough to the harbor to run your ski boat or jet ski over but a drive to town for sure. It's only 2BR (King, 2 doubles) but really nicely done, and very well stocked if you forget something. Also, it actually feels like a much larger home, with nice and open common living/ dining area and a huge dining table and well arranged kitchen, perfect for inviting up day guests. Lower level basement can sleep a few kids. Big, really nice decks to watch the lake and sunset. Easy walk to beach, not on a cliff. Beach was pretty rocky along the shore. This may have just been from recent storms but bring beach shoes. There's a stream that comes in just a few houses to the east, fun for kids. There are a few floats and one or two operable umbrellas, and several decent enough beach chairs, maybe bring your own beach umbrella. There is a hot tub, extra charge, perfect for watching sunset. New Buffalo about 5 mile drive. Good grocery store (Barneys) and of course nice shops and restaurants. Mich City is also about 5 miles, less attractive but has Casino, grocery (Al's). Fun little muni golf course in Grand Beach neighborhood nearby.

We stayed here in march with cold weather but the comfortable cozy accommodations kept us warm. Fantastic lake views, few steps to beach, house had everything one could need. Perfect for family with kids, had a bedroom with 2 twin beds and tons of games and toys. We will be back...

Lovely beach house

Review Submitted: 10/04/10
The house is lovely inside. As other reviewers have indicated the house is nicely stocked. Although, interestingly enough, salt and sugar were missing. No problem, though, the grocery store is very close (as well as other amenities). The location is also wonderful as it is so close to the beach. The outdoor space is great! Loved spending lots of time outside. Of course, the view was phenomenal too. Will absolutely come back again. Our kids are already asking when we would go back to the beach house.

I stayed at Lake Breeze for four nights this September with six friends. The location is perfect -- great views of the beach from most rooms, and a short (and not steep!) walk to the water. We enjoyed the sunny rooms, the huge deck with hot tub and comfy hammock, and the fully equiped kitchen. The house easily sleeps four. Our only negative would be the downstairs room -- the fold-out beds aren't too comfy for adults, although they would likely be just fine for kids, and once the people upstairs are up and about, its difficult for light sleepers. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway close to Chicago.

we stayed at lake view a few weeks back, we only had 3 days here... It was so beautiful, amazing view of the lake and the stars were breath taking . It was relaxing so we made our 3 days feel like a week.. I loved the fully equiped kitchen, and the master bedroom was very comfortable. The house was very clean when we came in so we felt it should be clean when we left.. We would come back again as soon as possible. Thank you so much to the lake breeze house

Just last week, I, along with a few members of my family, had the opportunity to spend a few days at this house and really enjoyed our time away! The owner was very accomodating and we found the house to be very inviting and homey. The beach and water were fantastic fun with the teenagers, although the steps down to the sandy walkway to the beach were a bit treacherous for some of us, but once down at the beach, it was great fun! The hot tub on the lower deck was very relaxing, even during the daytime, but especially in the evening under the stars. We brought our own food and enjoyed the company of our family at the big dining table inside! Morning coffee on the deck off the master bedroom, really started the day just right! The skylights in the living room let the light in beautifully and the ones in the second bedroom served as an early morning wakeup call (which was ok, since sleeping the day way was not the plan!). Again, we really enjoyed our vacation and look forward to making another date!

I book this vacation home on a yearly basis with a few of my girlfriends from college. It's so relaxing and there is room to do everything. We cook delicious meals and the kitchen has always been equipped for us. We also go to town for shopping, nightlife and even the casino. We enjoy the deck and beach the most. I have always had a good experience renting from these owners. Just don't take our weekend!!
