    Great location close to New Buffalo, Union Pier and Three Oaks. Loved the hot tub and sunroom for extra room and able to relax when it was raining. Very clean, comfortable beds, pretty decor and provided beach towels and bathroom toiletries. We loved staying here! The only negative was that no beach chairs or accessories were provided, but we always bring them just in case. Great place to stay with a family or group as every bedroom has its own full bath.

    Our family enjoyed the vacation home and there was plenty of room for everyone! Would like to have a shade on the bathroom windows for privacy!!!!! The home was a great layout and open, a farmhouse style. The sunroom was so nice!

    We came in for 4 days with family. The house interior was clean and as presented online. Great space for 6 adults. The kitchen was well stocked to cook at the property. Many people complained about the train but it can hardly be heard inside the house with the windows closed. Same with the highway that sits about 150 feet from the property. The reason for the 4 star vs 5 star overall is that the exterior could use a good cleaning along with the windows and screens. This property is basically in the woods and has a TON of insects and spiders on the exterior (none inside the house). If this were my home, I would have it treated monthly by an exterminator. The windows and the sills were extremely dirty with dead bugs and spider webs and spiders and need to be cleaned. We wanted to open some windows to enjoy the fresh air but didn’t because of the dirty sills and screens. Also, mentioned by others, there are zero blinds/window treatments on the first floor except in the bedroom, but the bathroom in that bedroom did not have blinds. No blinds in either bathroom upstairs but only one of the two bedrooms upstairs had blinds. The place is a solid 4 but could easily be a 5+ place with some maintenance.

    A belated review but our family of five loved our stay at Friendly Farms! The fire pit and s’mores were a huge hit- the hot tub may have been an even bigger hit. Everything was cozy and comfortable and the location to local spots, beaches and more was great. We’ve already told friends about it and hope to come back again sometime!

    We had a great time! The house is in perfect condition and very clean. It's close to the train and it's noisy, but not that horrible. We loved the walking path behind the house and being able to walk to the beach. It’s a nice place

    Perfect house with 3 nice bedrooms and private baths + 1 half. Loved the sunroom, hot tub and fire pit. On a busier road but with the windows being new didn't hear much sound even from the occasional train. Kitchen was stocked for a chef but like in the case of a lot of rentals the furniture is cheap and not very comfortable! One of our guests had to keep lying in bed for her back because there really wasn't a decent place to sit comfortably inside or out. I know it's a rental but we are older but in shape ladies, not overweight and just want a decent chair and sofa. Also the beach is now open there!
