Nestled among the trees, this well-maintained, multi-level retreat offers 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a peaceful setting just minutes from New Buffalo, MI, and Michigan City, IN. Whether you're relaxing by the fireplace, enjoying the three-season porch, or gathering around the outdoor fire pit, this home is designed for comfort and connection.

Conveniently located between two vibrant lakeside towns,you’ll have easy access to restaurants, boutique shops, Four Winds Casino, and the New Buffalo Beach. A short 10-minute drive in the other direction brings you to Michigan City’s outlet mall, zoo, marina, Blue Chip Casino, and public beach.

Guests can also take advantage of the home’s private beach access, just 0.7 miles away. Please note that beach conditions vary based on seasonal Lake Michigan water levels and cannot be guaranteed. The private beach does not have parking, but guests often walk or bike.

    We had an excellent time in New Buffalo. The property was clean and spacious. We had 10 people (including 4 children) and had plenty of space for activities. The property was exactly as described. The location was private and relaxing. The property manager responded promptly to questions throughout our stay. We would recommend this location to anyone looking to come for a weekend getaway in New Buffalo.

    There was plenty of information pertaining to house rules, but we did not find any guidance for the HVAC system or the gas fireplace. The latter was no big deal -- the house was chilly for the first 12 hours and a fire would have been nice but was by no means essential. The former, however, was unfortunate. The three bedrooms on the main/upper level were hot and stuffy in mid-80 temperatures. Did our best to figure out the thermostat, and certainly the lower level bedrooms were cool, but upstairs was uncomfortable. No, we did not call for guidance. We were gone all day every day, returning at 10 p.m. or later--too late to call. Otherwise, it was all great.

    The house was clean & welcoming. The beach and play ground were close by but directions and recommendations would have been helpful. Found the private beach access the last day.

    The landscaping for the property was non existent. I had to personally cut back poison ivy and oak that were growing from unkempt bushes that hung over the driveway. Weeds were growing uncontrollably throughout what should have been lawn. It did not appear that the grass was cut in several weeks. The trees needed to be cut back. The outside of the house stood out from the rest of the block which was clean, clear and well maintained. When guests asked for directions I gave them the address and told them to look for the scary house with the gray siding. There was a propane grill though it was disgusting. I spend a significant amount of time cleaning it before I even considered using it. The description of the back yard and the fire pit was misleading as again it was not maintained, the fire pit was small and rusted out and several of the chairs were broken. The good is that the house is well stocked with towels linens and appliances. The beds were comfortable. Expressed my concerns directly to the Waya rental agency and still have not heard back. While I was reluctant to post such a review, I am not satisfied that they would make any changes without posting my thoughts. I paid a lot of money for a two week rental and expected a much more positive experience.

    Beautifully remolded home. It was great having the bedrooms away from the other areas of the house. We loved the back porch, actually saw two deer while having dinner one night.
