Great host, good communication. Rustic older home with upgraded kitchen. No dishwasher but we were not cooking this weekend so worked well for us. Ended up being just two of us due to airline flight cancellation for other couple so enjoyed our private time. Located in quiet neighborhood in Three Oaks just 15 minutes car ride to New Buffalo and the beaches.

Perfect for a weekender!

Wendy's house is perfect - walking distance to downtown Three oaks, plenty of places to eat and shop, in addition to all of the activities in New Buffalo! Wendy was really responsive and accommodating. Hopefully we can book again next year!

Nice getaway

Very cute, felt beachy. Very close to cute downtown and huge distillery. Loved being able to walk a few blocks for coffee. Only negative would be the water pressure was very low and water heater tiny. Otherwise a wonderful place to stay.

In the area for an extended family commitment

Wendy was very communicative and easily accessible via the messaging app. Check in was very simple and Wendy was very accommodating with our request for a later checkout. The space served our needs for a quick weekend in the area for some extended family commitments. The space did seem a bit dusty, but this is likely more reflective of the local cleaning staff than the owners/hosts as they were lovely to communicate with.

Wedding Weekend Homebase

We had a WONDERFUL stay! We rented this property for our wedding weekend, and used it as our home base for getting ready for our wedding at Journeyman Distillery. The place was plenty big enough for me & my 4 bridesmaids to get ready during the day, and was comfortable for my new husband & I as well as my sister & brother in law to spend the night. The house is adorable and well appointed, and has almost everything you could need! Wendy was very quick to respond and extremely helpful during our stay! Thanks again

Brightly decorated cottage in walking distance to cute coffee shop and other restaurants and shopping. Good home base for all of Harbor Country — we were super close (driving) to beach and sunsets! Perfect for my family of three. It felt cozy and welcoming!Easy check in and check out. Very laid back — made for a great experience.
