Great backyard space to hang out. Awesome location to walk and explore the area and an easy drive to other spots along the lake. The few minor issues we had were quickly communicated and addressed with the owner, so the trip went on without a hitch.

We have stayed at this property 7x and it was another great experience. Peaceful and quiet setting and with the hot weather, the pool was used extensively. Walking distance to everything and the neighborhood is perfect for walking our dog.

We had a wonderful first time experience in New Buffalo and in this house! The house was well equipped and spacious. We were outside a lot using the pool and enjoying the soghts, beaches and restaurants in the area. Walking to town was easy which was wonderful. Our host was readily available- though we did not need to connect except once! I would recommend this house to a large family!

Host profile image
I'm a local who lives where I live! My family is happy to share this beautiful vacation home with you and we hope you'll have a wonderful time enjoying the pool, hot tub, large backyard and exploring all New Buffalo has to offer!

Why they chose this property

North Star is a vacation home where you can bring your friends and family and have a great time even if you never leave the house! Whether it's a day by the pool, a soak in the hot tub, an evening under the stars making s'mores in the firepit, or lounging on the couch catching up on a great movie, there is plenty to do and plenty of space to be together. If you want to explore the area, this is a perfect home base that puts you a short walk away from downtown New Buffalo's beach, harbors, shops and restaurants. Or jump in your car to check out Michigan City, IN, or southwest Michigan's wine country, our bounty of local galleries, boutiques, breweries and restaurants, and much more!

What makes this property unique

- Heated, in-ground pool open April-October
- Hot tub open all year!
- Fenced back yard that offers lots of space and privacy
- Pet-friendly home so you can bring your best friends along too!
- Close to downtown New Buffalo and walkable from the local Amtrak station
- Only a little over an hour from downtown Chicago
- Great central location for exploring Harbor Country and surrounding areas
