We had a great time at the house and exploring some of the wine trail as a mom and daughter’s weekend. The house was clean, comfortable and had all we needed. The weather wasn’t such that we enjoyed much of the outside activities, but was a great location and long weekend!
Such a beautiful home and forest surroundings! Very professionally outfitted to give it that hotel feeling. The beds and pillows definitely deserve a shoutout. What else… My wife was in heaven with the sauna and steam room. The screened porch area is stunning and perfect for our breakfasts and dinners. The kids found plenty of games and activities to keep busy. Hot shower outside was a super nice touch after a day at the beach. We appreciated having all the beach equipment we needed. The fire pit was a big hit. The outdoor railings needed some attention but we probably wouldn’t have noticed if the property manager didn’t point out some ongoing exterior work. All in all we would love to come back next year! Thanks Mark
We had an absolute blast staying at this house! It had everything we needed and was perfect for our girl's trip. It was very well-updated and decorated. It was super clean and had plenty of space for 9 of us women. We enjoyed the hot tub and how quick the drive was to the beach. It was close enough to the wineries and restaurants we wanted to visit. Mark was very fantastic to work with. We would stay here again on our next girl's trip to new buffalo without a question! 10/10
Beautiful, clean, relaxing getaway.
Beautiful home in a gorgeous woodsy setting! So many nice amenities, and plenty of room for 9 of us to be able to spread out when we wanted to! The golf cart was fun and a great touch! We enjoyed taking it to the beach, and it was very easy to find a parking space for it. Easy to reach the property manager if needed!
Highly recommend. Property is great. Beautiful in the fall and perfect for outdoor fires, hot tub, and dinners on the porch. Enjoyed cruising around the neighborhood in the golf cart. Quick drive into town for some good food options or the public beach. Host was easy to reach. Would stay here again.
We had such a lovely week staying at this home, it definitely lived up to the expectations we had when we booked it. The home was very clean and laid out well for multi-generational vacationers. The house is in a cute neighborhood, but it seemed very secluded. We loved the firepit and indoor fireplaces and enjoyed the offerings of New Buffalo (winery and restaurants) and Saugatuck (dune rides). Mark was a super responsive host, and I would definitely book this location again.
My family had a wonderful time staying at Mark's property. Everything is maintained to perfection. You are close to a beautiful private beach. We loved driving up and down Lakeshore Drive on the provided golf cart to watch the sunset. The firepit was great for hanging out and roasting marshmallows for smores. We took advantage of horseback riding just a few minutes away. We had one rainy day but still enjoyed hanging out in the spacious screened in porch. We will definitely be back. You won't regret staying here.
This was a lovely home and had everything we needed. There were some issues with the water temperature in the showers in the basement and on the third floor but, otherwise, no problems.
Stayed here with two other families and had a great time. The house was lovely, the yard was private and secluded, and the location and proximity to parks, beaches, and downtown New Buffalo couldn’t be better. The house was clean and comfortable, and the host was great to work with. Would definitely come back!
Hot tub, sauna, huge screened porch, fire pit, bacci ball pit, grill and propane heater, etc... Fantastic home to come back to after a long afternoon out. A nice monitor, desk, and other office supplies in the basement was also a nice touch for the halfday I was required to work. All in all, beautiful house!
Me and a group of my girlfriends just stayed here for a getaway trip from Chicago and we had an absolute blast! The place was very nice and cozy. There were 10 of us and it was well stocked with everything we needed. Each bedroom was nice and felt very clean so no one had any issues sleeping anywhere. We loved using the hottub out back after dinner. The place is really close to cute shops, restaurants and wineries. The beach was a 5 minute drive (took the golf cart there), and we drove maybe 10 minutes to the strip of shops and restaurants. Highly recommend Stray Dog (restaurant) and Shady Creek Vineyard (winery & live music). Overall, none of us had any complains and will definitely be back again this summer!
