Besides being super-close to the many popular restaurants, galleries, and boutique shops of downtown New Buffalo, you’re just a short distance from a number of truly majestic, crystal-sand Lake Michigan beaches!

Lest we forget to mention, the stunning Warren Dunes State Park is close by, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, beachfront, wetland trails, and extraordinary birdwatching!

The Neighborhood:
Just 70 miles from downtown Chicago, New Buffalo is the gateway to Michigan and a historic Lake Michigan beach town. There are plenty of shops, places to eat, and recreational offerings. Beyond the legacy of summer fun, find a community of hosts and creatives sharing their love of art, culture, and craft throughout the year. New Buffalo is also the location for Southwestern Michigan’s first gambling casino, the Four Winds Casino Resort, and Silver Creek Event Center – the place for concerts featuring headliner entertainment plus conferences and special events.
Getting Around:
• I-94 Exits 1 & 4
• US-12 & M-239
We highly recommend a personal vehicle to get around and explore the local area. Those arriving by boat will find an around-the-clock public boat launch and a full service transient dock facility. There is an Amtrak Station in New Buffalo (225 North Whittaker St.) that offers service to Chicago, as well as Ann Arbor and Detroit. The South Shore Line, another option for a day trip to Chicago, stops in Michigan City, IN about 10 minutes’ drive from the house.
We will provide you with a helpful virtual guide prior to check-in that showcases a comprehensive list of area eateries, attractions, parks and more.

Maura, thank you for the wonderful review. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. The Wild Horse Run is an amazing property. Thank you for being a fabulous guest. We look forward to hosting you again!
Great place for family over the Thanksgiving holiday. Really enjoyed the house. Would have liked the room with 2 twin beds to have a couple bunkbeds, but our 20 somethings were happy on the couches and trundle. Overall great time. Many thanks to the host.

We booked this as a place to stay halfway to South Bend. We all enjoyed the home and what the town had to offer! We only stayed the weekend but would definitely book again and for a longer timeframe! The home was gorgeous and in a private area with great amenities! Was easy to access and communicate with the property owners! Worth booking you won’t be disappointed!

We enjoyed the home. It was just as listed. We went hiking at Warren Dunes in both rain and shine, visited a few wineries, ate at local restaurants and took advantage of all the homes amenities. Nice location, hot tub was great for relaxing and so was the campfire in the evening where we enjoyed s’mores. Sat on the covered porch.

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend getaway. 8 women in one house. There was plenty of space, we never had to wait to use the bathroom. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. Everything was clean and beautiful.

The home was beautiful and clean. It was everything we hoped it would be! It was freshly painted and in great condition. It was comfortable yet very nice. The perfect setting for a family getaway! Location was great! We walked to town several times from home. Kitchen seemed well appointed though we never cooked. (We were there a short time). We can't wait to go back sometime! 5 Stars for sure!

The property is beautiful and it's in a great location. However, the house was not very clean, there were legos, dirt and food under rugs and left in the dustpan. Dirt and food smudges on the walls and doors and left over Easter eggs under pillows. Juniper was very responsive and apologetic when we reported the issues. They offered to send a cleaning crew and gave us credit.

We are sorry for any frustration you experienced as we pride ourselves on providing a 5-star luxury experience in all areas.
My wife and i love the Harbor towns of Southwest Michigan and try and get here once a year. It was our anniversary and we wanted to find a nice home with a Hot Tub and close to the Red Arrow Highway and this place was perfect. The home is clean, decorated very nicely with comfy beds and a nice hot tub in a screened in porch. A big surprise was when we arrived there was a cake wishing us a happy anniversary. It was so unexpected and shows you what kind of hosts you are dealing with. We cant thank you enough. The communication was perfect and wanted to make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you.
If I could give this listing 10 stars I would. WOW! What a great experience we had.
I’ve stayed at a lot of rentals for weekend trips and have never had such a great experience as this.
Great check in process, house was spotless and the location was fantastic.
We had a few minor things when we checked in (light bulbs out etc) and they had someone there to fix them within an hour.
Communication was amazing. They messaged to check on our stay, and when I did message them about things (like salt for the deck) they responded within minutes.
Amazing time and highly recommend this property!
