Girls trip was a success - large home, clean, plenty of beds, etc - amazing rental for a large group! Hosts were very responsive. House is at the very end of a dead end street…just keep going :)

We loved being able to help these hard working teachers blow off steam!
Great location between New Buffalo and Rolling Prairie. Big house, very clean, beds are quite comfortable, steady water pressure and hot water! Top floor is awesome for gathering for fun, main level good for dining and games at the large table, and basement is the ultimate space for video games or pool! Owners and Building Manager were super nice and extremely helpful!
