About the host

Hosted by Jan Richards

Host profile image
We truly love hosting our guests and to be able to share our properties with them. We work hard to see that they have an easy, relaxing stay. We are local, owner managed and only a phone call away.
I have lived in New Buffalo my entire life. My husband Dennis moved to the area when his family moved from Traverse City Mi. when he was 10 years old. We both have great memories of growing up in the area. We have been together 51 years! We are true soul mates! We enjoy travel, gardening, picnics, rock hunting and spending time with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We built this home in 2005. We wanted to live in a quite, friendly, safe neighborhood like we both grew up in. We love being so close to beautiful Lake Michigan. We love to go to the beach often for peaceful meditative walks. We love the location of our property. The back yard is woodsy. We see many deer; we have even hand fed them!

What makes this property unique

A reasonable alternative to an expensive lakefront property, while still be able to enjoy small town life, lake Michigan beaches and the beauty of the countryside. Access to Private Association Sun Set beach. We are conveniently located 3 miles from downtown New Buffalo. There's so much to do in the area. New Buffalo Public Lake Michigan Beach is 3 miles, Michigan City Public Beach, Mount Baldy, Silver Beach & Warren Dunes State Park are all open to the public with inexpensive parking fees and short distance from our home. Dancing Feet Yoga is 1 mile. We are 2 miles from Whittaker Woods Golf course. Grand Beach Golf course is about 1 mile. Four Winds Casino is about 5 miles. Blue Chip Casino is about 7 miles, Light house Mall outlet shopping is about 8. International Friendship Gardens is about 7. The Dunes Art theater is about 2 miles. This seasonal theater stages plays, musicals & other shows, plus hosts acting classes for kids & adults. This rustic theater set in a woodsy area, is very popular, and a big change from big city theater, for sure! Hesston Steam Show with antique steam engines and train rides is a big hit with the Kids. New Buffalo Twp. Has a great free water park for young children. The Galien River Walk is also free. Journeyman Distillery is in Three Oaks and next door to the Acorn Theater for a easy great night out. Winery tours, Distilleries, antique stores, farmer markets, U pick farms, romantic picnics. We are 30 miles from South Bend. 60 miles from Chicago.
Our home is intended for family and friends. The average nightly fee split between 5 couples is 125.00 per couple!!
