New Buffalo is the kind of town that lets you get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city without being a million miles away. It is only an hour out of Chicago and 3 hrs from Detroit. You are in a harbor town where the seagulls and the nightly sunsets are the best show in town. There are many activities nearby and walking in and out of the shops is one of the many fun things to do. There is more restaurants in a 10 mile radius than you might find in a large city.

We rented this house the last week of July 2011. In our group were 4 adults & 6 teenagers. The house is very roomy & the layout was great. The teenagers could hang out in the lower lever & the adults upstairs. The house was clean when we arrived. The large roomy deck in the back is great for grilling out & having dinner, which we did about every night. We used the hot tub a lot. The pool is ok, it is an above ground pool, we were expecting an in ground pool which would have been preferred. The water was actually on the cold side, so we didn't use it as much as we thought. We should have called the property manager about it but we kept forgetting. Large back yard is nice. The house is one mile from the public beach & downtown New Buffalo, so easily walking/biking distance. Very convenient location. The inside is fine, it could use some updating & some maintenance, but we were fine with if for the week. Some things that disappointed us: .the ad says this house has lake views from the deck. It does NOT. Maybe in the fall & winter you can see the lake a little, but in the summer the trees block any view. The access to a private beach the ad refers to a very small patch of sand that you can walk down a long hill to reach. It is pretty rocky, you probably won't use it (except to watch sunsets, which is nice) & will just go to the public beach as we did. The outside of the house could be spruced up a little, the landscape is not trimmed & could be more tidy. We were actually worried when we first drove up about what it would be like inside because the outside just looked looked a little shabby to us. The propane gas for grill was empty, which we found out when we had meat ready to grill for dinner, so we had to go buy some ourselves. We were not happy about that. The property mgr said if we produced a receipt, they would deduct it from our deposit. I think that is ridiculous to have to produce a receipt, who wants to worry about these things on vacation? We will see if they reimburse us the amount anyway. We have rented several vacation places over the years, I would give this house a grade of average to good. If you have 2-3 families with kids & you need a bigger house with many bedrooms & lots of room, this house is a good choice. While it was fine, not sure if we would rent this place again, we would probably try to find a place w/ lake views & a little more updated. We had a GREAT time, New Buffalo is fun even with an an ok house!

This place advertises queen beds, but in actuality most are doubles. There is a king bed in one main floor bedroom, the twin beds are all as stated. The "queen" below the bunk bed is actually a double size futon, not even a true mattress. There is also a pretty significant carpenter ant issue here. That being said, the outdoor space was great, the pool was fantastic, and it was heated nicely. The hot tub was not functional during our entire stay. There was a repair man there at least twice to try and fix it, but it never got done. If the ant issue were cleared up and the beds were actually queens rather than doubles, my family might consider staying here again simply because of the pool.

My family stayed in this home summer 2011. It was great. We had a couple cooler nights and the heated pool and jacuzzi were great. We also loved the fact the home was very clean. I thought it was great the rental company stopped by when we got there to make sure everything was perfect. If you have small children this home is great because you can walk everywhere. We took the kids for ice cream, shopping, to look at the boats at the harbor. I would highly recommend this home and we will be back. The kids loved the smores the rental company dropped off to us. We went down to the beach and had a bon fire. We are thinking we might try the home out in the fall we like to go apple picking.

My family and I rented this house over Memorial Weekend and we had such a great time! When we checked in we found a nice gift basket waiting for us with a s'mores kit in it. It rained for two days but the home had cable, internet and provided board games too, which kept us busy. Then the sun came out and the pool had to be like 85 degrees! We spent the rest of our time enjoying the outdoors. We grilled, played bean bags and really enjoyed making s'mores by the fire pit. The house was perfect for my family and we will rent it again!
