Relax with family and friends at this cozy vacation home in New Buffalo. Walk to Lake Michigan! This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home is nestled in a peaceful wooded setting and just steps from a private community beach on Lake Michigan. Enjoy the beauty of nature, while being close to charming downtown New Buffalo and other top Harbor Country attractions. When you're ready to relax, sit back on the screened porch and listen for the waves or gather around the fire pit.
We introduced our New Buffalo vacation home to VRBO in 2024 and had fantastic guests who had great experiences. The listing appears “new” as of 2025 because we are rebooting on VRBO with a new co-host, but everything about your stay will remain the same. We hope your family enjoys their stay at the house and the proximity to the lake as much as we do.
The screened porch is currently undergoing renovations, and we will have new photos soon! It will be complete with new screens and furnishings by May 2025.
This home features two King bedrooms, one Queen bedroom, and an additional bedroom with Twin bunk beds and a Twin bed with a Twin trundle. The lower-level game room also includes a Queen sofa bed, making enough room for 12 guests to spend the night. There is also a pack-n-play provided.
This multi-level home requires exterior stairs to enter and interior stairs are required to access the lower-level bedroom and game room. Stairs are also required to access the private community beach. Parking is available for 4 vehicles: 2 in the flat area at the top of the steep driveway and 2 in the flat parking spots at the base of the driveway.
This is a quiet lakeshore community and a relaxing getaway for families/friends. No events, parties, or loud gatherings are permitted. Outside noise must be limited after 9:00 p.m.
