My friends and I stayed here for a weekend away and had a great time! The house was overall very clean and well stocked with whatever things you may need. Once we arrived we never had to drive. The house is very walkable to all the shops, restaurants and bars as well as the beach. This was a huge perk! We would stay again. Perfect for an adult weekend away or for two families with kids!
Great location . Easy to walk to downtown and it other great shops, restaurants and the beach. The house is an older home and could have used a little more deep cleaning. Hot tub was a good addition.
Very nice property. Close to downtown and lake
Perfect location! We loved the hot tub and private yard. The kitchen had everything we needed and the kids enjoyed the beach toys.
Really cute house. Good location. Beds were great. Tempurpedic? Loved hot tub and yard. Had a bonfire. Looked everywhere for a cutting board. Liked the skylight, but woke up too early. I retesting two-headed shower upstairs. Thx!
Nice and quiet area. Not far from restaurants and stores.
Overall, such a positive experience at this home. The home was spacious and clean with lots of charm. We had plenty of space and really enjoyed our visit, would stay again!
The house was clean and within walking distance to town. The outside area was a great place to have a fire or go in the clean hottub! Vacasa was easy to communicate with. House was older, but very comfortable. Could use a few extra blankets in the living room for movie nights. Upstairs bedrooms get a little warm, but they do have window air-conditioners, that we used. Great accommodations, for a girls get- away!
Loved the hot tub! We really enjoyed how the rooms were decorated. The house was within walking distance of local breweries and boutiques. Made for a great weekend.
This house was great and had all the things you would need. It's so close to everything too and we can't wait to come back in the summer.
Booked this place for a girls wine trip and it was so much fun. So close to all the bars, we loved walking everywhere! We enjoyed the hot tub both nights and had everything we needed. It was big enough for the 8 of us although the only issue was parking. Some friends came in later than others and no where to park! The parking lot the management suggested was a few minutes away at a park and super sketchy to leave your car there at night especially since it’s the only one. I would definitely book this place again as long as we only have 3 vehicles showing up!
This home was simply awesome. The home was clean with lots of amenities & a great location to everything New Buffalo has to offer. There was even a brand new hot tub on the back patio. We will definitely stay at Merchant Street Retreat again!
Outstanding location on a quiet street. Green backyard with fire pit, patio & grill. Beach umbrellas & chairs for usage at the beach. Very narrow & creaky stairs leading to upstairs sleeping area. Kitchen & baths need updating. Air conditioner in master bedroom/bath is on the floor making for an odd arrangement.
The property was as pictured - very cute and clean. Location was within walking distance to the beach and popular restaurants. The backyard was very pretty and private - nice for dining outside and using the fire pit.
Booked a two-night stay with my family who came from across the world and absolutely loved it! We were doing a meet-the-parents thing and it was a perfect location for both my and my partner's families to meet. Super short walk to the stores/main street and beach, we cooked every meal there (the kitchen was well stocked with essential pans/utensils etc), the yard/outdoor space was incredible, and the fire pit was lovely. The house itself was updated but still had its old-house charm, and the mud room is literally a dream. Everything that you could ask for a getaway and more - thanks for the best weekend!
This was our 3rd time staying at MSR and we love it! Super cute home and the location is perfect. We love the short walk to David’s each morning for coffee & breakfast and being close enough to Barney’s to send the kids on a grocery run. Beach, kayaking, strawberry or blueberry picking, hiking, sand dunes, shopping in New Buffalo & Three Oaks and dining at Brewster’s and Beer Church are our favorite activities.
