Perfect Girls' Weekend

We had the best time staying at this property for our girls' weekend. The house was even more beautiful and spacious than the pictures show! The patio was absolutely perfect for entertaining, and it was very nicely landscaped. We had 16 girls, and every girl had a comfortable place to sleep. Jan was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating to us, which completed our visit! I will absolutely consider this home again in future visits to New Buffalo.

Lovely home!

We just stayed in this house for a bachelorette party. I was coming from West Michigan and meeting friends from Chicago and this house is the perfect meeting spot! Plenty of beds and bathrooms for everyone to feel comfortable! The house is well cared for and beautifully updated! Jan was welcoming and helpful! Our only downside was having difficulty getting taxis and Uber’s to the location. It was a little difficult to find the house at first but it is a beautiful oasis!!

Wonderful family trip!

We had a wonderful time at the house with our extended family. Our group included 6 children, and they really loved the upstairs loft where they could hang out away from the adults and watch their own movies. It was nice to have the firepit for hanging out outside in the evenings. There was plenty of space in terms of bedrooms, bathrooms, and entertaining for a large group. We were a close drive to the beaches and the downtown area. The only advice I would give is just to drive very slowly when first arriving at the house-it's behind another house so is a little hard to find initially. We would highly recommend renting this house!

Lovely stay with extended family!

We stayed at this lovely home with our extended family: 6 adults and 5 kids, 6 & under. The home was perfect for our group. The 3 older kids fit in the loft with room to spare and still talk about how fun their "room" was. There was plenty of room for our group to stretch out. Having 3 bathrooms was great! The house is perfectly stocked with everything you'd need. Cute enclosed patio & garden. Nicely tucked away from the main road. The beach is gorgeous and we had fun traveling in golf carts! Between New Buffalo & its neighboring towns, there is plenty to do. Our group also loved the technology detox! Jan is a gracious host. We're looking forward to returning soon!

Stands above the rest!

I stayed here with 8 friends for two nights and we had a wonderful time! Check-in and communication was great. Jan was an absolute sweetheart. Jan is the most responsive VRBO host I've ever had. It is evident that she takes great care of their property and truly cares about her guests. Property was very clean. Although Michigan is a more forest-y area, I didn't see a single insect in the home. The location of the property is good. Although the driveway can be a bit difficult to spot, we enjoyed how close we were to everything we wanted to see. New Buffalo is an awesome little town with a lot of great restaurants to eat at. Grand Beach is about a 5 minute drive, St. Joseph is about 25-30 min drive, and the Warren Dunes about 15-20 min drive. The amenities listed at the property are accurate to the listing. I was incredibly impressed with the amount of parking available, and the cleanliness and functionality of the charcoal grill outside. My favorite amenity is the privacy fenced in outdoor area, where my friends and I spent many hours enjoying the fire pit and charcoal grill. Value for money is excellent. All of my friends agreed that the property was amazing, and the money spent was well worth it versus getting a boring hotel. Overall, this is one of the best rental experiences I've had on any platform. I am impressed and admire the host's commitment to their property. I think this rental performs well above the majority. 10/10 would recommend.

Feels like owner is watching

I had my Bachelorette party at the house. We went out to eat and came back to the house to hang out on Friday night. We went on a wine tour then came back for games on Saturday night. We had to close all the blinds because we were being watched. As the ladies were setting up for the party which we followed the rules - no tape or confetti; the owner was showing someone her flowers outside the house creeping the ladies out. My maid of honor checked in for me as they wanted to surprise me with everything they had planned. My ladies did a great job of handling the situation. The owner was giving me a hard time about my bachelorette "party" that she knew about when we booked in February and the stay was in July. She went on by informing me it was not a party house and was rude about us staying there and when I was going to be there. I worked all day and informed her my maid of honor who is responsible would be there to check in. I did not think it was a big deal however she made it a huge deal and very stressful. We then felt on edge for the entire weekend. The fire escape plan is not up to fire code according to a local firefighter and the fire extinguisher is out of date. She has 3 different sets of rules which say different rules. As we were finished cleaning and packing, she drove past in her golf cart. We politely said, "good morning" in response. She stays in the back of the property in a trailer as she rents out 3 "homes". The house we stayed at felt more like an awful beds to sleep on and pillows were okay at best if you like less fluff. All the beds were hard and two of the beds hurt my shoulder worse than it already hurt which made the wine tour hard to enjoy being in pain most of the day. I received a text at 9 am on Sunday morning telling me good morning, I hope you enjoyed your stay, please sign the guest book, and rate us with a 5 star review. We did not sign the guest book or give the 5 star review as I do not think this place deserves it. We placed everything back where it belonged when the ladies walked in. I would not suggest this place if you do not like hard beds and someone looking over your shoulder.

Dear Sarah, We take the safety and comfort of our guests very seriously. We are required to be licensed in order to be able to rent our homes. We are inspected yearly with strict guidelines, which we gladly abide by and pass in order to keep our guests safe and comfortable. We even go a bit further for our guests safety then is required, by supplying an emergency escape ladder for the second floor for our guests safety in case of an emergency. I am so sorry that you were not comfortable with your sleeping arrangements, but as you informed me when you arrived you were suffering from a dislocated shoulder, I doubt any bed or position you slept in would have been comfortable for you. I am not sure why you felt uneasy and watched by my showing a guest the flower garden on another rental property next door. You have our very best wishes for your upcoming nuptials and future. Sincerely, Jan and Den

Hidden Off - US HWY 12

We stayed with family 2 twins (8 months) 2 1/2 year and four adults. It is a two story with plenty of room. We did not use the formal downstairs living room. There is a small, carpeted living room where the TV is located on second floor where we stayed when we were not out and about. The beds each have their own comfort level extra firm, soft, and real soft. The fenced in area was nice for adults but not small children no grassy areas all gravel and concrete. Overall, very acceptable for adults but would not recommend for small children too many knickknacks. Also, there are a lot of rules and regulations we were worried about breaking the rules. This made it somewhat uneasy and uncomfortable during our visit. You must read the rule page on the kitchen counter. A great place for adults and a very peaceful setting.

I would only change one thing

The house was good, the location everything was just as described. The only thing that made not only me but my guest uncomfortable was the close proximity of the owners. They stay in a camper behind the house which is fine. However every time we looked out the window a man (we assumed to be her husband) was out back. I would assume the yard work would be saved for a day there were not guests. Other then that I enjoyed the house.

Hi Jillian, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We have three very popular vacation homes on one property which keep us pretty busy. We choose to stay in our RV which is in the woods approximately 500 feet from the house (we like our privacy too) during the peak season, so we may be available to our guests if needed and keep up with any needed maintenance. I know our guest appreciated our quick response to a clogged toilet while they were hosting a wedding, lost keys ECT.. Recently our area experienced a 3-day power outage. My husband stayed busy hooking up and manning generators for the comfort of our guests. He also keeps our guests supplied with firewood. Each home has its own private courtyard. As much as we like to give our guests needed privacy you will occasionally see a glimpse of us and maybe another guest enjoying themselves. Our guest appreciating and enjoying our homes makes it all worth wild and fun for us!

Do not stay here!

We were duped into thinking the weekend would be great. After we checked out, I waited a week and asked about my security deposit. The owner said that some blinds had been damaged. She showed me photos of blinds hanging lopsided which was not the case when we left the property. She told me 3. blinds had been damaged and then charged me for 5 of them. It’s a stretch to think someone damaged 5 blinds but nothing else in a single weekend. I received not event 1/3 for my deposit back. I would be careful. Take photos when you arrive and leave. It was pretty sketchy how it was handled.
