Wonderful, relaxing space to spend with friends
We thoroughly enjoyed the property. The kitchen was fully stocked and the house layout was wonderful for a group of 4 of us women. The Hot tub and fireplace were also wonderful. The short walk to the beach was great. Additionally, Ron was a delight to work with and incredibly responsive! One quick note is you might think about getting some new bar stools for the kitchen as the ones there are getting 'soft'. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful home and location!
This home was perfect for our stay with 2 teens, a toddler, and my wife and I. A quiet neighborhood with friendly deer passing through, and a wooded area that makes you feel like you’re in the country. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more. The deck was lovely and the hot tub was a definite bonus. Would definitely be interested in staying at this location again. The only downfall is that the beach is a 15 minute hilly walk, but that was minor in the grand scheme of a wonderful stay!

Great location! Beautiful area to walk. The kitchen was fantastic. Could use new springs in the beautiful leather stools in the kitchen and the leather couch. The beds were comfy. Hot tub was well maintained. S’mores by the fire pit a must!

Great Place for a get-away
We had a great time. The house is located in a very nice little enclave of Michiana. It was easy to find and navigate the neighborhood. The beach is a very short walk away and was very clean. The house is well-appointed and comfortable. We really enjoyed the guest log and the other hand-done book with the recipes. It was very welcoming. We had everything we needed and wanted. We had no issues with anything. The communication was great, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We look forward to returning.

Went for a small girls trip, and we had the best time. The home was extremely clean and cozy. They had many amenities at your fingertips. The neighborhood was so nice and everyone was friendly. Walks to the beach every morning was definitely a highlight. We would recommend this home, and would love to come back!

Amazing home in tranquil location
This house was amazing. Truly everything you needed and more! We enjoyed catching up with our adult sons, going for walks, grilling, and lounging on the deck. Weather was gorgeous - we went Mother’s Day weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better way to relax. We had a little trouble figuring out the key when we arrived but property manager was available right away to help us out. Thanks for all of the small amenities - and the amazingly stocked kitchen.

Perfect winter getaway
Comfortable home with large fireplace, hot tub and wrap around deck - mild fireplace odor that comes from use. Great grill which we enjoyed cooking on. The mattresses and furniture were Comfortable. Kitchen well equipped for a rental. Super quiet neighborhood. Would definitely come again. If i were to change anything, less soft couches and slightly softer seating in kitchen area for game play...this is strictly personal preference. Rating 10/10

Great family memories
Clean house that was perfect for our family. Kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of fun games for a rainy day. Really nice outdoor propane grill, fire pit, and chairs for around the fire pit. The location is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood and we saw a mother deer and her two babies everyday. Halfway between the cities of Michigan City and New Buffalo with lots of great restaurants and things to do. Time zones threw us for a loop until we figured out where the lines were drawn, but other than that, a wonderful experience.

Cozy pet-friendly retreat
Cozy cabin-like home, very well appointed with practically everything you need, including well equipped kitchen, large wrap-around deck, multiple outside seating areas, hot tub (although I did not use it), comfortable beds (3 bedrooms, all with queen/king size beds), 2 full bathrooms. The host was exceptionally responsive and easy to work with. Most importantly they allowed my dog to accompany me and made no fuss about it (like so many properties putting ridiculous weight limits on dogs). They went above an beyond to welcome my four-legged family member and even had bowls out waiting for us when we arrived. Wonderful experience! The house sits on a relatively busy intersection about 3 blocks away from the beach in a residential neighborhood, but the beautiful fully wooded lot and area make for beautiful and restful surroundings. Being there by myself with my dog, I actually liked seeing all the passersby in their golf carts (highly recommend renting one - great experience!), on bikes, lots and lots of walkers, plus some construction crews as there are many mansions going up in this area (clearly a sought-after location!). The property is not fenced-off, which made me hesitate with my dog, but I just brought a couple of 30ft leads to let her roam safely around the property. I would highly recommend this property, particularly for dog owners! Enjoyed it!

Grand get-away!
The house is lovely -- roomy, beautifully decorated, and fully stocked (linens, paper products, more than ample kitchen equipment and even some food staples.) We had a great time walking to the beaches and throughout the neighborhood, lounging in the jacuzzi, eating on the patio, and roasting marchmellows over the fire pit. One suggestion for future renters: reserve a golf cart before you arrive. We were not aware of this possiblity until we had checked in and saw several carts zipping around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, all of the carts had been reserved because of the boat races scheduled at Michigan City. Nevertheless, we had a great time. We will probably come again.

Great house
House was amazing, had all the items we needed to prepare meals. Very clean, and comfy beds. Fireplace was enjoyed everyday of our stay. Most the time we were there the weather wasn't great so was nice there was plenty of games, and room to do puzzle.Island gave us plenty of space for other games. The only thing we thought was a negative was where the outside fire pit was located. It was on the corner near the road. Just didnt seem private, but we didnt get the chance to use. You can actually hear the lake on a windy day. All in all will stay here again if we choose New Buffalo area again.

What a great property for 3 adult couples. The house was very clean and cozy. The location is really nice to take walks to the lake and a short drive to New Buffalo and St. Joes. We also enjoyed the hot tub and front porch. Unfortunately it was a little to windy for the fire pit.
