New Buffalo has a slower relaxed pace in late fall and winter. We rent throughout the year. Fall and winter can be a very beautiful and relaxing time to take a break. The fall colors can be amazing. Many restaurants offer discounts. Winters can be an absolute gorgeous, serene winter wonderland. This is really the best time to kick back, relax and take some much-needed time for yourself!
We hope to meet you real soon!

Couldn’t have been more happy with our stay at this location. It was beautiful. We all loved having our coffee on the patio and watching the wildlife feed 20 feet away. Plenty of room for all and a really nice neighborhood. Definitely a hit.

70th Birthday "Week"
It was perfect for my wife's 70th birthday week. 4 bedrooms with queen beds accommodated our family for the celebration. Live deer coming to the rear of the house each day was a plus.

New Buffalo Weekend
Dogwood Delight was a very nice house located in Grand Beach (New Buffalo). The four bedroom house was very clean, had a very nice outdoor patio area and was conveniently located for our weekend activities. We had a minor issue with the hot tub, but Jan resolved that promptly. The golf cart that is mentioned in the property description did not appear to be usable, however we did not contact Jan during our stay and just walked to the beach. We were not able to locate any bathroom washclothes but that was the only other slight issue we encountered. The house was plenty roomy for our group of eight and we had a great weekend.

Amazing time in this beautiful home
Jan was a great host. She greeted my friends and I upon arrival and gave us some details about her home. Her place is spacious and clean, and her communication was quick and efficient. The location is perfect, being just outside of New Buffalo and also very close to the lake. I will definitely consider renting from Jan again in the future. Thank you again!

Week end stay
Everything was well maintained. A little farther then we wanted from the beach. We had hoped that the sunset beach was open which would have been near the property but it was closed for repairs. I would have liked having wash clothes in the home, only towels were available. Over all it was still a good time.
