We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is new, well- equipped with most things you’ll need for a week’s stay. It’s a great place for families with children. The hosts were informative about details, check-in and answered questions that we had. I would stay here again.

Loved!!!

We had a wonderful few days together at this beautiful, relaxing and well kept home. The backyard was a great place to enjoy food, drinks and a fire. So much to do in the surrounding area. We would highly recommend to stay here. Looking forward to returning soon.

Family Vacay by the beach

This is a great house. Lots of space to spread out where you don’t feel on top of each other. New home so everything was clean. Nice area to sit outside and relax. Would stay here again

Lovely

This was such a beautiful home in a very quiet area and New Buffalo is wonderful. We loved it! Thank you! One small complaint but not a deal breaker - the beds in the rooms besides the master were a little uncomfortable but for kids (which was the case for us) they were just fine. I would and may book again!
