The house was perfect for our girls getaway. Near downtown and the lake. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Easy communication with owner, but didn’t really need to, nice to know he was available if we did. We had a great time and would recommend!

This place was great! It matched the images, and was perfect for our family getaway. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. You’re close to New Buffalo beach, but tucked away from ALL the other vacationers. Will stay again if ever in NB again!

Very nice and clean little cottage in a cute neighborhood. I wish walking into New Buffalo was easier, but it’s not really within walking distance with the roads. I didn’t ask this ahead of time so no fault of VRBO host just so future renters are aware.The unit is extremely comfortable with everything and more than you could possibly need in the kitchen and bathrooms. The owner goes above and beyond to make it feel like home.

Great place to stay and our host was always easy to reach. We visited nearby towns of St. Joseph's and Three Oaks for great shopping and small town feel. Tabor Hill and the Round Barn are great wineries to visit too.

About the host

Hosted by Vjosa Saliu

Host profile image
I have been infatuated with Southwest Lake Michigan area & beaches for many years now, living in Midwest. My husband and my two boys love visiting a few times a year, but of course summer here is our favorite times. New Buffalo has been a favorite since our first visit. It's a great small town with so much to offer and there are awesome beaches nearby, perfect for vacations or long weekend getaways. I decided to get our lake house for our family to enjoy, but then I thought, since we cannot enjoy it all the time, why not offer others to enjoy the space as well. I hope you enjoy New Buffalo and the surrounding areas, as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Quiet neighborhood, just outside NB downtown. Serene & nature sounds for peaceful getaway.
