Secluded Pool Playhouse: Hot Tub, Game Room, Fire Pit

Escape to a mostly secluded New Buffalo getaway featuring a private seasonal pool, year-round hot tub, and action-packed game room, just 7 minutes from New Buffalo Beach and 6 minutes from downtown. Designed for fun, relaxation, and unforgettable group memories, this home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it perfect for families, friend groups, and dog-friendly escapes.

Your Private Backyard Oasis
Spend your days swimming in your fully private, unheated seasonal pool (openMemorial Day–Labor Day), then unwind year-round in the hot tub under the stars, comfortably seating up to six. As evening sets in, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, stories, and laughter that lasts late into the night. The backyard is mostly secluded, with just one nearby neighbor along the property line — offering privacy without isolation.

Endless Entertainment for All Ages
Step inside and discover a game room built for friendly competition and nonstop fun. Enjoy a poker table, bartop seating, mini basketball arcade, Nintendo Switch, shuffleboard, skeeball, oversized Connect Four, and a wide selection of board games. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a late-night showdown, there’s always something to do.

Comfortable Space to Recharge
With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, there’s plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. Each bedroom is designed for comfort, giving you a peaceful place to rest after full days of pool time, beach trips, and games.

Cook, Dine, and Connect
The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals for the whole group. Enjoy morning coffee provided for your stay, then gather around the dining table with seating for 8 to share meals, laughs, and stories. Outside, fire up the charcoal grill for classic backyard cookouts after a day at the beach or pool.
