Amazing Michigan Retreat

We loved everything about this home! Huge thanks to Erin and Adam for creating such a wonderful place for guests to relax and unwind. The home is cozy and comfortable and the outdoor deck and pools offer a tranquil setting for enjoying the gorgeous forested surroundings.

Third Coast Ranch stay

This is the best rental house we've stayed at in the New Buffalo area. The house is clean, beautiful and well appointed. Hosts are easy to contact and very friendly. The property is gorgeous. Huge piece of land with woods, pond, grass and a fantastic pool. Very quiet and private. Just loved it.

Great getaway

This place was perfect. From reservation to check-in, the communication was excellent and very much appreciated. The outdoor pool is just the right size. The 10 and 13-year-old kids traveling with us. We could walk to the beach, quick easy drive to Three Oaks, New Buffalo, and more. Wifi was strong and allowed me to work remotely without issue - even on Zoom calls. Highly recommend.

Wonderful Getaway

My family and I just returned from our stay at this property and I will start by saying that the property owners have thought of everything. No detail was missed. Of note - the espresso machine was loved by everyone in our family. The outdoor area is amazing. The property is literally in the woods though, so be sure to bring bug spray. The pool is well taken care of, but the leaves do get in it pretty easily. It is heated to 80 degrees. Overall, we had an amazing stay and the property was really nice and clean. I would definitely recommend it.

Perfection.

The outdoor pool area is absolutely amazing for kids & adults alike. Our 4 year old son lived in the pool and we spent every evening in the 3 seasons room. We cooked most of our meals in the well-appointed kitchen. The house has 4 indoor places to hang out (two living rooms, large dining area & 3 seasons room) so it would be perfect even on cold days. Erin & Adam are wonderful hosts and really made us feel welcome. I enjoyed my first rides on a peloton and might be hooked. The house is very close to cherry beach, which feels secluded and untouched. We also drove the 8 minutes to Warren Dunes to hike. Honestly, the place couldn’t have been in a better location. The seclusion yet proximity to the beach can’t be beat. I would absolutely come stay here again!

Serenity is the word

My dogs and I were looking to get away from the city and couldn’t have chosen a better place. The property is so secluded. Just the drive up the driveway is breathtaking. The backyard was so much fun for my pups to run around in. We even saw a deer running through the woods on the last morning. The home itself is so warm and cozy with 2 fireplaces, one in the master, which I took full advantage of. The kitchen has everything you need. The layout is excellent with doors going to the back yard basically from every room in the back of the house. Owners were very accommodating as I needed to shift my days up due to a surgery. They were quick to respond and so easy to work with. I highly recommend the Sawyer Garden Center. It’s a grocery store, garden center, wine shop, apothecary, gift shop all in one. It’s certainly my favorite property I’ve stayed in Michigan! I’ll definitely be coming back!!

Great Place for a Secluded Pool Getaway

Our family had an amazing time at the Third Coast Ranch! The first thing you notice is that the privacy is unmatched. We self-isolated in the house for 5 days and enjoyed the pool and hot-tub nearly every day! The house is surrounded by woods but there is plenty of clearing for the sun to shine through unabated, allowing for great times in the water. The house, including the kitchen, is very well equipped. We appreciated the provided towels and our young girls very much enjoyed the toys available in the bunk bed room. In fact, this is probably the best VRBO we have visited in it's kid preparedness - in addition to the toys and bunk beds, there is ample kid-friendly plates, bowls, cups and silverware. The master bedroom has a king size bed and is huge. The master bathroom is huge as well with a giant walk in shower. We had a few very very minor complaints, though. Not all inside doors latch. This led to some surprising "break-ins" through the master bedroom and into the master bath from our 10 month old puppy! The king size bed, while very comfortable, is also extremely squeaky - comically so in fact. Finally, it was surprisingly difficult to give two young children baths. The hall bathroom is very small and has no handheld shower head. The master bathroom is great for adults but a little too precarious for children (slippery, sharp edges). Most of these items could easily be addressed by the new owners and absolutely did NOT detract from our overall experience (hence the 5 star review!). We highly recommend Third Coast Ranch and are looking forward to visiting again!

Wonderful home

We have rented this house four times starting in 2020. Clearly, we love it! The owners have thought of everything, from a welcome basket of goodies to a stocked coffee bar, to tons of beach towels to use at the pool and more. The star of the home is their large, private pool! The 5 of us had a great time.

This is our third summer staying at the ranch. My husband and I absolutely love the quaint ranch home with everything you would ever need to feel at home. The house and the relaxing pool & hot tub are surrounded by the most beautiful & serene woods. So private and peaceful. Plus, Adam & Erin are absolutely wonderful to work with. Such a great area to visit too with lots to do. You will not be disappointed.

Home in the woods

From start to finish, this was a great spot. Communication with owners was seamless. House exceeded expectations. The generosity on the part of owners including basic household items (detergent, coffee, soap, shampoo) really makes a huge difference. The pool is great and the home is cozy and incredibly functional. I hope we are welcome to stay again!

Perfection!

The home was wonderful and the hosts were as well. It was a treat to stay on such a lovely property surrounded by nature and all of the beautiful fall colors. From the welcoming bottle of wine to the fire pit in the back yard, each detail made for a great family holiday. The location is easy to manage for all of the nice back towns in the area. PS. The coffee area they had set up was the best we have seen in the many home we have chosen for vacation.

What makes this property unique

The pool is open seasonally. The hot tub is open all year.
Chef's kitchen stocked with everything you need.
Private setting means you'll rarely run into neighbors.
