Terrific rental!
We loved this clean and comfortable house that was an easy walk into Downtown New Buffalo. My husband and 3 kids stayed here at the end of June. There are 3 bedrooms so everyone had space and 2 bathrooms (key for a family of 5). Our little nephew came for a visit and loved the trampoline. We would definitely rent it again.

Sweet family home
A group of five friends were celebrating a 45th birthday and this family home was perfectly situated for us. A short easy walk to everything, and a comfy living room for us all to sit and chill in the evening. We didn’t use the fire pit but the host had firewood for us if we wanted to, and there was a trampoline for anyone visiting with kids. The host was great and easy to connect with. Overall we had a lovely time, thank you!!

Really enjoyed our stay. Beds were great. Kitchen well stocked. Excellent giant TVs in living room and basement with any apps or channels you want. Basement had lots of games and stuff to keep kids happy, but the back yard trampoline was the biggest hit! Would stay here again.

Our family of 4 loved this home for a stay in New Buffalo. Plenty of space for everybody, walking distance to Oink's, and close to beach/restaurants as well. The hosts were reachable and checked in on us midweek which was thoughtful.

Great Little Place to Stay In New Buffalo.
Nice house in a quiet neighborhood in NB that is close to everything. Nice big yard and deck to relax on. Lots of things in walking distance, if its not blazin hot and you're ambitious. House had most everything you would need and lots of space for up to 6. Great value!

Spacious, clean, great location
This home and property are wonderfully maintained. The location is perfectly distanced from the beach to give you an opportunity to get away from the crowded beach and streets. It’s definitely walkable to town and the beach. We loved the welcoming environment and attention to our needs and inquiries by the gracious owners.
