You have found the perfect Michigan getaway nestled in the charming woods that line the coast of Lake Michigan. Our 3-story lodge is fully upgraded with upscale finishings and lavish amenities – all to be enjoyed in the privacy of our large secluded forest property. Our lodge can accommodate 13 guests in the 4 over-sized bedrooms. Additional beds are available upon request.

The open concept on the main level features a large kitchen that opens up to the family room, making it perfect for large gatherings. The main level has 3 doors to access the full length balcony overlooking the front yard. Adjacent to the kitchen you'll find a large screened porch with a teak dining table, wet bar, Weber grill and our favorite, the oversized porch swing. The lower level has a large sectional, 60 smart TV, fireplace, mini bar, wine fridge, sauna, bedroom area, full bathroom, laundry, and two sliding doors that open up to the front ground level. The upper level has two bedrooms and a full bathroom with permanent bedding for eight, plus two rollout cots in the closet.

The backyard features a brand new 7-person hot tub (delivered October 2021) with a wrap-around deck, outdoor shower, designated bon fire area and plenty of open forest to explore. The front of our lodge opens up to a 50' long ground-level patio (with two balcony doors to the lower level) overlooking the forest floor landscape and a full size bocci ball court. We invite you to take a seat on the front porch swing and take in the surrounding nature in complete solitude.

The property has a long gravel driveway leading up to a 3-car garage. The driveway can accommodate 6-8 cars. In the garage you'll find all sorts of fun, including the golf cart, bocci balls, volleyball set, tennis rackets, beach chairs, golf clubs, coolers, etc.

If you're looking at this listing you already know the charm and adventure that you can find in New Buffalo, Michigan - just 75 miles from Chicago. It's time for you to log that family time around a camp fire, soak in the hot tub, hop on the golf cart and head to the beach or treat yourself at one of area's many wineries and restaurants. From our lodge you're just 5 minutes by bike or golf cart to the private beach or a 9 minute drive to New Buffalo's public beach.

    House was excellent. The owner provides everything that you need - there was plenty of toilet paper, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, garbage bags, towels (both bath and beach towels), and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Everything appeared new and clean, and the beds are amazingly comfortable. Having the golf cart to go to the park or the beach made it extra special. We are 100% going to stay here again.

    Beautiful, well-kept house that was comfortable and worked perfectly for our group of nine. The golf cart was a great bonus, and the host was very responsive—any small issues were handled right away. Just note the main dining table is on a screened-in deck, so it can be chilly; we used a folding table on colder days. Great secluded location on a private road, close to the beach and a short drive to town.

    We were looking for a relaxing weekend and this was the perfect place to do it. The sauna and hot tub were easy to use. There’s plenty of space for a large family. The kitchen was well equipped. I would definitely recommend it and will be booking again.

    Our recent stay was fabulous! We arrived at night to find the comforts of home. And a detailed manual made available by the host to guide you through your stay. The exterior of the home is so gorgeous. The back porch is dreamy to relax on with the daybed. Along with the beautifully decorated and designed home interior. The rooms were lovely, comfortable, and spacious. The linens were an amazing added perk! Along with the extremely comfortable beds. No one wanted to wake up in the morning because they were so comfy! lol! The bathrooms were all gorgeous, clean, and spa inspired. The sitting area was perfect and comfortable. Perfect to have the kids close while cooking. And the family room was great for the wind down of our adventurous days.We really enjoyed the golf cart, fire pit area, and hot tub. The property literally came with everything. It was a sanctuary in the woods.

    Nice house - beds were very comfortable. Screen porch was our favorite spot. Adult kids really enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. A second full refrigerator would have been ideal but there are two smaller drink refrigerators. Host was responsive with our questions.

    The house is beautiful. The golf cart is a huge plus. The hot tub is lovely. The screened in porch is one of the best I have ever seen--large and comfortable. The owner is very responsive.

    This property is really wonderful and I recommend it without reservation! Three floors, decorated nicely and comfortably, easy kitchen to cook in, lovely screened in porch, amazing setting nestled in the woods. So fun to walk the neighborhood, it is just magical. Things we did that customized our stay a bit: We had two dogs and also a 1 year old grandson. We typically travel with those folding fences for dogs when we have the pups, just in case we need to contain them. It did double duty, blocking the stairs down to the bottom floor, (the main floor is the second floor), keeping the dogs from wondering too much AND the grandson from tumbling down the stairs - perfect solution! Secondly, we brought a little space heater and used it on the screened in porch in the evenings when it was a little cool. (There were 8 of us and it would have been pretty cramped at the inside dining room table since we had a high chair.) Thirdly, we brought a high chair for the one year old. The hot tub was a blast, as was the golf cart. We spent some magical time down at the beach, so easily accessed with the golf cart! (And a car, for that matter, but the kids LOVED the cart.) Our crew was a little young for bocce ball but they did love exploring the forest. :) The local grocery store was quite nice, they even were able to get in a specialty item for me. We went to a farm and picked apples, went to a model train store/museum and went to the beach a few times. AWESOME TRIP!!
