Everything was just as shown on the listing. Very comfy and perfect area for watching the snow come down and the waves crash on the frozen shore line. You can walk to most everything in New Buffalo. Host was attentive and courteous.

Short walk to the beach- ideal!

Lovely stay, enjoyed the location and the property. My family of 2 kids and 2 adults found the property to be comfortable and not too big, not too small. We had a great stay thanks to a short walk to the New Buffalo beach and into town for dining and shopping.
