Great proximity but also, private
It's very easy to get around the area from this location but you feel very secluded. Plenty of room to spread out. Tony was great to work with. Would stay again if we vacationed in New Buffalo again in the future. Loved it!

Wonderful home
I cannot say enough about this home. We are regular VRBO renters and this is in the top 3. The home is really clean, it is so nicely decorated and so well appointed with all you need for a fun getaway. We didn’t use the pool or hot tub but checked them out and they look like they would be a blast. We did use the game room a lot. The 18+ age kids loved it and the 50+ age kids did too!! It seriously is for all ages. The beds are super comfy and the kitchen had all we needed. Tony is a fabulous host. Very responsive and goes above and beyond. If you have the chance, stay at this house, you will make great memories and I bet you will want to come back - I know we do!

Just a perfect place to rent
I cannot praise the property enough. There was more than adequate sleeping arrangements for all 8 of us, plenty of space, and a beautiful, fun, and clean property to enjoy. Tony was very responsive to our messages and made the entire process seamless. Everybody in our group agreed that we wanted to return to the property, as the pool, hot tub, fire pit, and game room made it a no-brainer. Its proximity to New Buffalo, the beach, casino, and golf course was quite literally ideal. Cannot recommend this property enough!

Great House in an Amazing Location
The house and property were perfect for our group of 10. We were very comfortable and had plenty of space. The beds were awesome, everyone raved about the mattresses. The house is decorated nicely and the furniture was high quality and very comfy. The game room was such a nice feature and we spent most of the time in there. The outdoor space is peaceful and the firepit has nice chairs. The pool and hot tub were also great and well kept. The drive-way was long and spacious and accommodated all our cars. We did not have to move cars to let people out. The showers had good water pressure and we had enough hot water for everyone each morning. The location itself has conveinent access to the highway and all the local hot spots.
