Location: New Buffalo, Southwest, Michigan, USA (1/4 Mi. N. Redamaks, New Buffalo's most famous restaurant)

Accommodations:  House, 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 8-10)

Built in 2007! This 1,900 square foot single family home is part of a developing 19 home community that caters to getaway weekends and relaxing family fun.

There is a community pool and clubhouse that can be shared by all residents/renters and is located across the quiet cul-de-sac'd street. The clubhouse area also features a "walk in, drive in" where movies can be played outdoors at night on a large portable screen. The magical memories of watching your favorite movies under the stars, and next to the stunningly lit pool, will last a lifetime.

The house is a short 10-15 minute walk to Downtown New Buffalo, and is located a few minute walk from Oselka City Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment, and tennis courts.

The large public New Buffalo Beach is less than 3/4 mile away, and has ample parking for a small daily fee. Warren Dunes State Park is located in Sawyer, about 20 minutes north and can be enjoyed in the summer at the beach or in the winter for sledding.

Golfing, boating, mini-golf, apple/blueberry picking, a train museum, and Four Winds Casino are all a short drive away. Explore the Harbor Country antique stores and quaint restaurants along leisurely country drives.

The house itself is a raised ranch design, that has two floors and two areas for entertaining, so the kids can be watching movies in the cozy TV area downstairs, while the adults are entertaining and cooking dinner upstairs. The dramatic 16 foot tall ceilings, exposed stained cypress logs, and floor to ceiling stone fireplace will make you feel like you're in a rustic mountain lodge.

The adjoining full gourmet kitchen, features all new appliances, granite counter tops and an eat-in counter that will surely become the center of your entertaining. From the top floor, two large sliding glass doors open out onto a serene screened in 10' x 25' porch, that looks out over wooded hills. The lower level family room enters out to another 10' x 25' screened in porch, that also features a 6 person hot tub.

Just outside of this porch, is an enchanting raised stone fire pit area that can easily seat 10-12 people, and provide hours of late night fun. Adjoining the fire pit is a deluxe swing set that the kids will also love.

The master bedroom, off the upstairs family room, features a king size bed and private bath. The guest room downstairs also has a king bed and is large enough to spread out luggage or to set up a playpen (provided) for the young ones. There are two child oriented bedrooms also on the lower floor that have trundle twin size beds that can sleep five people of any size, each in their own beds.

We're sure a week at our own "Chateau New Buffalo" will bring you many relaxing memories and good times with friends and family.

  • We stayed at the house for the weekend of Sept. 18th. It was a fantastic house! The outdoor areas (firepit, playground for the kids, etc) were great --especially for our 2 1/2 year old son-- and the screened in porches (upstairs and downstairs) were particularly nice. The hot tub is easy to access (in the screened in porch on the lower level) and got a fair amount of use in our short stay. The beds had very nice linens and were extremely comfortable, and the house was very well decorated and furnished. Rather than eating out, we cooked all of our meals at the house. This was very easy beause the kitchen was well-stocked and the BBQ grill was extremely nice (and large!). The next time we head to New Buffalo, we plan on staying at the house. This is--by far--one of the nicest VRBO homes that we have ever visited. We have already recommended it to our friends.

  • Our family enjoyed a relaxing week at this very beautiful home. The privacy was great. We had the pool to ourselves a couple afternoons and played ping pong in the clubhouse. The evenings were cool enough to enjoy the hot tub. Our daughter and son-in-law played their guitars around the fire pit. We did most of our own cooking and grilling. The kitchen is very well equipped. We visited a few restaurants and the ice cream shops were great! We found delicious berries at Paul's Fruit Stand. The New Buffalo and Warren Dunes beaches were both lovely. We spent a few hours at the outlet mall in Michigan City. We spent a couple hours at Mike's Fun Park playing mini golf, riding bumper boats and cars, doing the batting cages, trampoline basketball, arcade, etc. We walked or rode our bikes to the nearby city park to play tennis and softball. We would recommend this beautiful home and the New Buffalo area to anyone!

  • Our stay at "Chateau New Buffalo" was absolutely wonderful. The house was amazing, it was just built and in pristine condition! We are definitely picky vacationers but the decor and all-around feel of the house was perfect...woodsy, tasteful and well thought out. We felt so lucky for having found it! The firepit was so fun for us to make s'mores in and the screened in porches made even the rainy days so fun. The clubhouse was also an amenity that we were so fortunate to have...the pool and ping pong table were great for our family and the family whom we shared the house with. We absolutely couldn't have asked for a more perfect house! Thanks so much for sharing it with us and we look forward to staying again. Amy and Anthony Muscarella

  • A few of my girlfriends and I stayed the weekend at "Chateau New Buffalo" to retreat from our everyday lives, and celebrate a friend getting married. We had no idea we were walking into something so wonderful! The home was easy to find, had a great location in the town, and couldn't have been more perfectly decorated. What attention to detail! I planned to do some cooking and worried about not having what I needed to bake/etc. The home had everything! The view is nice, very, very quiet and offered plenty of room for our friends to sleep comfortably. Thank you for helping us create memories for our friend in such a lovley home! We'll be back soon!!
