Spring Break Getaway

Our family enjoyed spending some time off in New Buffalo. Brittany's home gave us this opportunity to enjoy New Buffalo and the surrounding area. It was nice to end our days by enjoying the hot tub or time by the fire. Brittany was an excellent host, responding to a few of our questions in a timely manner. We very much enjoyed our stay!!

Beautiful home! Would stay again!

Perfect place to stay for a girls trip! The hot tub, patio table and fire pit were a plus. Walking distance to downtown and the beach- I’d recommend taking the neighborhood streets, there’s no sidewalk on Buffalo until Redamak’s. Bring extra mirrors if you’re staying with all girls!
