Nearby:
-This location is ideal in so many ways- we are just a short walk to Hummingbird lounge, Brewster's Italian, or waterside fine dining at Bentwood Tavern or The Terrace Room. From our home you'll enjoy the short walk to downtown New Buffalo and the beach.

Also we are just an hour away from Chicago by car or Amtrak, you'll soon be steps away to all the conveniences of Harbor Country. Hop on a shuttle to Four Winds Casino, or a short drive to Blue Chip Casino and the Outlet Mall. A great place to take walks to town or the beach as well as bike riding. Tour the wineries and micro-breweries and so much more.

For your information the local ordinance has quiet hours at 11pm and we ask that our guests respect that as we live on a quiet residential block. Strictly enforced. For that reason we do not allow bachelor or bachelorette parties. NO candles or open flames allowed on property - inside or outside. Also we have added an exterior camera to monitor the exterior of our home for liability reasons for our insurance. It is located at the side of driveway. There are absolutely no cameras located inside the house or facing the pool.
Pool will be closed October 18- May 10th.


There is a house guide in a binder at the property with all the information you will need.


Also, City of New Buffalo passed an ordinance, effective 6/14/21, that limits parking to 4 cars maximum, limits number of guests to 14, enforces the noise ordinance and requires a Reservation Summary. That form requests the full name and date of birth for the main contact, full name and age of each guest, and make, model and license plate number (including State) for each car that will be on the property. That form needs to be in the city’s hand no less than 24 hours before reservation. That form will be sent to you in a fillable format but if you would rather send me the information, I can fill it out for you. Thank you for your cooperation.

Amazing Experience
Charming home in a great location! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The home was so welcoming and well appointed. It was beautiful, clean and had everything we could want. We travelled with 3 small children. It was very child friendly. the pool was definitely a highlight. The location made it easy to walk to town and get anything we wanted. We're hoping to make our visit a new annual tradition.

Amazing - Highly Recommended!
I booked this for a surprise birthday party for my Wife and her Family and couldn't be happier with the result. This house is bigger than it appears in the pictures. There is plenty of space for 10+ people to sleep. High-end finishes, VERY clean, and outstanding location. That being said, the true star is the back patio, pool, and proximity to the beach. We would return to this house in a heartbeat! Thank you for such a great stay!

We loved our stay at the Red Oak for our birthday weekend! The house was very clean, exactly as pictured, and the owner was extremely helpful, kind and very easy to get ahold of! The location was close to everything we needed. The finished basement was the perfect hangout spot for March madness games as well! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic House
This is the second house of Mary's that we've stayed at, and they were both great. We had a wonderful time playing ping pong and just watching tv downstairs on the nice big couch. There was plenty of room for the 7 of us and the beds were so comfortable. Mary is also very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to come back in the summer!
