Perfect!

This is an amazing location and a home that supported our whole family and pets. Our dogs loved their morning walks on the beach and the kids loved the location, waking up and going to bed with a lake view each day!

Nothing can beat the location...short walk to the beach, stunning sunsets...so peaceful to look out onto Lake Michigan. New Buffalo and the surrounding towns have so much to offer. Owner and house manager were so easy to communicate with. House was well stocked (dishes, cooking utensils, serving bowls, towels, beach chairs, etc). We loved the three season room. The house was very clean, but could use a little TLC as it is an older home on a large body of water...at times a bit mildew smelling. We had no issue with climbing the stairs to the house, but someone with limitations may have difficulty. I would definitely rent this home again!

Phenomenal Lake Front Vacation Home

This property is phenomenal!!! It’s everything you need in a lake house. It’s not fancy but that’s OK. It’s the perfect getaway with your family to enjoy each other and the beautiful surroundings. Everything was supplied. We needed nothing except groceries. Every single one of us in our family had so much fun! The convenience to the beach, the large deck out front, the abundance of beach chairs and towels, made this trip so easy and fun! There are also bicycles and a kayak. We didn’t use them, but it’s sure nice to know they’re available if you ever do need them. The sunsets were easily seen from the deck each evening. It was spectacular to say the least.

The *Waterfront Beach House" did not disappoint! It is absolutely adorable with an eclectic beachy vibe which is right up our alley. The lakefront view was incredible and the sound of the waves crashing mesmerizing. Anne had everything that we could possibly need right there. Plenty of towels, blankets kitchen supplies, etc. The cleanliness was top notch. We needed to reach out to Megan the house manager once and she was wonderfully responsive. The neighborhood is gorgeous. We look forward to staying there again the next time we head up to Michigan! Thanks Anne :0)

Fabulous waterfront home

We had a fabulous family vacation here. Located between two beach areas, each is less than a 10 minute walk. The view of Lake Michigan from the front of the home is majestic- we loved opening the windows and listening to the waves. Staying here felt like being at home, and Anne is a welcoming host. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location!

Best part about the trip- watching the sunset on the lake sitting on the porch and the Short walk to the beach. The WiFi was spotty but host was responsive to improving it. overall a great place to stay! We have come here two years in a row with four kids and four adults. We enjoyed this house and never felt crowded.

Nice quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and walking distance to the beach. The property provided plenty of space for 8 adults. A variety of beach equipment and toys were available for our use to take to the beach. Anne was easy to reach and the check-in/out was very easy. We hope to come back again!

Beautiful lake front property

We had a wonderful stay at this home right along Lakeshore Drive in Michiana. The views are spectacular and the house has an amazing screen porch where we enjoyed meals and game night. The beds are comfortable and the owners provide plenty of extra linens . The dining room features a nice long table with benches to encourage meals together with lots of sharing. We appreciate you sharing your spacious home with us!

Great getaway spot

Lovely owners and very communicative. House was comfortable and great location- only a few minutes from beach. There’s lots of board games, chairs, towels, kitchen items, a kayak, paddleboard, a wagon- great to know so you don’t have to pack a lot. Notes if you’re looking to book this place: take toilet paper. Stove gets very hot under where cookie sheets are kept- so wear an oven mit if grabbing a sheet after already warmed up.

Family Vacation in Michiana

My family and I had a great 5 day stay at this very cute house. The host, Anne, was friendly, easy to contact and accommodating and provided us with clear and easy check-in and check-out instructions. The house is on a bluff and has a nice view of Lake Michigan as well as the gorgeous Michigan sunsets. Being able to hear the waves at night was lovely! The house itself was clean and nicely decorated and we had plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed for meal prep. I would love to stay here again.

Beach House in Michiana, Michigan

Cute house. My family of five (all adults) enjoyed our stay in this house. The front patio facing Lake Michigan was our favorite place to be. We watched the sun set each night. We just wish the very large family room in the back had air conditioning. It was too hot to watch movies and get comfy. We only used the living room and those chairs aren't as comfy. But we still loved the house.

A wonderful peaceful setting

Anne was lovely, having everything open and ready for us, leaving a bottle of wine, and even coming over one time we stupidly locked ourselves out! The property was clean, comfortable, well-appointed, and perfect for our group to both gather and have private space. The views of the lake and the proximity to the beach for walks and admiring the sunset was fantastic. We cooked a lot, but the proximity to necessities (like groceries and Oink's Ice Cream, which is a necessity) was fantastic. We were very impressed and happy and would definitely rent again if we return to the area!

Great weekend

We were on a girls weekend, and the house was perfectly located, the view was gorgeous and it had everything we needed, plenty of paper products, lots of backup products, books and games, chairs for beach and wagon. We were provided lots of information for local restaurants and things to do. We had an awesome time, and would love to go back! The only suggestion would be to have a little clarification in the description of the parking situation. It was perfectly fine, but a tiny but confusing the first night. Overall, we loved our weekend and made lots awesome memories! Thanks Anne!
