Recently listed by Travel + Leisure magazine as one of America’s 50 Best Places to Travel, New Buffalo - just 70 miles from Chicago - is not just known for its pristine beaches, but also its wide range of outdoor activities, fine restaurants and art galleries, vintage and antique stores, stylish boutiques, distinguished wineries and local craft beer pubs. And the fact is, Harbor Haven is super-close to all of these! Plus, you’re less than a stone’s throw from the region’s largest recreational harbor – which includes boat, jet-ski, kayak and other watercraft rentals, as well as fishing expeditions and day or evening cruises.

There are all sorts of nearby woodland, lake and riverside parks with hiking and biking trails galore, the most popular of which is Warren Dunes State Park, with its 2,000 acres of amazing sand dunes, gorgeous beachfront and wetland trails, as well as its extraordinary birdwatching! You and your guests might relish visiting New Buffalo’s Oselka Park, which has baseball fields, playground equipment and tennis courts. And for even more variety, nearby Union Pier also has a number of other great restaurants, coffee shops and breakfast spots.

Our stay at this property was fantastic! We've stayed in other vacation rentals in this area several times & this was, by far, our favorite. The views of Lake Michigan were so beautiful----especially the sunsets. The home was well kept & very clean. We hope to be able to book a stay here again very soon! Thanks to everyone at Juniper Vacation Homes for helping us have such a wonderful vacation in pure Michigan!

The house was okay not luxury. The backyard needs a lot of attention. The grass wasn't cut for a long time. The house next door, owned by Juniper was cut while we were there.The steps were dangerous so I didn't go down them but once. The trees and bushes needed cleaned up. The view was spectacular and we loved that Pretty disappointed Regards Jan

Beautiful View & Peaceful
The view is gorgeous, the hot tub is great and the neighborhood is a great location. If I could give 4.5 stars I would; because this place could definitely use a refresh in the interior- in one of the bedrooms, both twin beds are rock hard and very old. In one of the smaller bedrooms, there is peeled paint on the doors, closet doors, walls and ceiling and a LOT of the owners clutter is left behind- both smaller bedroom closets as well as the hall closets were full of the owners' old video games, old televisions, etc. The door to the laundry room was jammed shut and the kitchen cabinets are full of really old appliances, but lack more common sense things like napkins or olive oil. The master bathroom was very nice and I loved that there was a walk-in shower for my elderly parents, but the second bathroom shower was moldy and the shower head was extremely old. The AC/Heat also did not work during our stay- it was fine because the weather was nice enough and we could open the windows; but any other time of year would not be ideal. Juniper did offer to send someone to repair the AC and I did like that they have a contracted person who comes to maintain the hot tub, which was clean and gorgeous. Overall this could be a five-star property with a little bit of work, but for the price we paid, it didn't really feel that luxurious.

Beautiful view but has maintenance issues. Not luxury.
We enjoyed our stay because of the location, but the house definitely needs maintenance. 1. Metal dining chairs loose and would have resulted in fall for senior family member if someone had not been close enough to catch her. My brother borrowed Allen wrench from neighbor and tightened all of them. 2. Windows did not have curtains and broom stick in one that we hung towels on. It was right next to the street where people were walking by. The blinds on some windows aren’t installed and just laying on top of the brackets. Fell as soon as tried to open and had to call brother for help so it didn’t hit my sisters head on the other bed. 3. The mattresses on the twin beds need replaced. One was so hard it couldn’t be slept on. 4. There is a step up going from room to sunroom that needs marked somehow in order to ensure no tripping. After couple of times and warning the others we managed but it is an accident waiting to happen. 5. There are 3 tv’s for watching tv. Only one worked and got reception. No instructions. No We loved being on Lake Michigan but would not pay the summer price for the house for sure. We would go back if all of the issues were solved and the place spruced up some.

Girls weekend
We stayed at Wild Horse Run for a quick weekend getaway. We had originally booked a house on the beach, but a cracked furnace meant we had to switch houses. Liz was quick to get a hold of me and gave me several houses to chose from and was very apologetic over something that was not her fault. The house was lovely and perfectly laid out for what we needed. The hot tub was lovely and the warmers on the back screened in porches were magnificent for coffee on the porch watching the wildlife. We were closely situated to downtown New Buffalo. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Great experience!!!
We booked this specifically because of the hottub and it was amazing! There are huge windows that lookout onto the water and the sound of the waves were very relaxing while reading on the deck or in the hottub. The kitchen was very well stocked and there were plenty of extra blankets. The two bathrooms were nice for rinsing off after the hottub or taking a shower and still having one available for everyone. It is a nice area or walking around and you can see the sunset from the hottub through the trees. 10/10 would highly recommend and would definitely stay again! There is also extra public parking close because there is no street parking and it is RIGHT by the train station which was perfect for some out of town friends coming in from Chicago!

We came for a quick weekend getaway as a family of 3 (myself, husband, 2 yo daughter). I will say that what you’re paying for is the view - perfect! The beds are comfortable and the place was very clean. We were a little surprised at how outdated the whole place was - very 60s/70s vibe, but it was fine for what we needed. If you’re coming for a great view in a good location for driving distance to your favorite spots, this is it.

Christmas Stay
We have stayed in a number of VRBOs in over twenty visits to the area from Michiana to Grand Haven. The accommodations were variable in amenities but always acceptable. Overall we especially enjoyed the layout of the living area and kitchen. We were disappointed that: 1- One bedroom had no window treatment of any kind. There was a bar for a curtain but no curtain, drapes, or blinds to darken the room. 2- We looked forward to the ambiance of the gas fireplace but could not leave it on due to noxious fumes that all five of us found so intolerably annoying that we had to turn it off. Charles did his best to troubleshoot but was unable to resolve or improve the situation. 3- The hot tub was cloudy and we felt uncomfortable getting back in after our first use. Cailin was very responsive but I didn’t want to text her on Christmas Day. We were pleasantly surprised that someone showed up unsolicited to service the tub on 12/26. He too noted as did we that the water had a slight green cast to it and was turbid. He found that the chlorine level was “zero” and “should be 2-5 parts per million”. After his shock treatment we noted improvement in the color and a reassuring mild scent of chlorine and were comfortable getting back in. We regretted that the hot tub wasn’t better maintained upon our arrival and that we missed other opportunities to enjoy it. 4- We accidentally discovered that dogs had used the lawn. Fortunately my wife found this on her shoe immediately. No more space. Call?
