A great stay! Literally right next to the Warren Dunes state park. We had fantastic vacation with family. In particular, the yard space, hammocks, and yard games were well enjoyed. The kitchen had everything we needed. Loved the roomy ceilings in the main space.

Amazing place!

We absolutely loved this place. We have been coming up to New Buffalo area for about 15 years and this was definitely one of our favorite homes. It had everything we needed including plenty of rooms, nice hot tub to relax in, fire pit to roast marshmallows, large yard to toss the football around, barn with some games including table tennis. The Warren Dunes were only 3 minutes away. Blueberry picking close by. We cannot wait to come back here.

We had a wonderful experience. First, the location is amazing! It’s a two mile walk or five minute drive to the longest stretch of glorious sandy beaches with ample parking. We were at the beach every single day. The fresh produce stand at the end of the block provided so many fresh fruits and vegetables, including a basket of everything we needed to make fresh guacamole, including the recipe. Second, the house was absolutely immaculate. We have rented many VRBO properties and the kitchen and refrigerator were the cleanest we have ever seen! Additionally, it was so well stocked with pots, pans, colanders, etc. we needed to cook. There were also weighty glasses that felt great to drink out of and a selection of kids dishes. There were just so many thoughtful details. You will need to bring or buy your own spices. The beds were wildly comfortable, so much so that we actually peeked under the sheet to find out the name so that we could consider it for home! We had one small issue with a bed frame, but the handyman was there that afternoon and fixed it right away. Communication was exceptional. The great room was perfect for hanging out together, but there were also so many nooks to find spots for privacy. We only had five people there, but there was room for so many more and so much space for kids and adults to have fun! All in all, it was a magical week. I think it truly could be a four season place to visit. A

Nice house minutes from Warren Dunes

Very clean rental. We had seven adults and three children under 6 and were very comfortable. Nice bonus was the spare refrigerator in the building to store the meals we had brought with us. Beds were comfortable. Loved the outdoor shower to clean up after going to the beach.

House was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Very close to Warren Dunes entrance. Plenty of sleeping areas and room for our large group to spread out. Kids loved the hot tub, laser tag, and all the barn games. We had a wonderful stay!

Excellent family house

This house was perfect for our annual extended family vacation! We rented another home that backed up to this one, which was really nice for our whole group to be so close. This house has a huge yard perfect for games and play, and also a firepit for evening gatherings. The kitchen is overall well stocked. The "party barn" is really great to have for a larger group, with plenty of room for hanging out. The fridge in the barn was really great to have also! The location is just 1 mile from the beach, very close to the entrance of the Warren Dunes State Park, where there is a huge public beach. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great for families and friends

The house, large yard, pole barn, and proximity to the Warren Dunes were all wonderful. They had a pack-n-play with a sheet and high chair there which made bringing our 1-year-old easier. Loved the yard and fire pit and the pole barn was great for the one rainy day we had. Highly recommended. We hope to go back next year!

Great New Year’s get away!

Everything about the house was perfect! They really thought of everything. Very clean, well maintained and accurate in the pictures. We loved the game barn and weren’t too cold (except the day it was 20). With three of us being educators, we were happy to see the owners are as well. Communication was great and the info was all easy to find. We loved the snowy land and can only imagine how beautiful it is during the summer. Thanks for a great stay!
