    Clean, comfortable, and had plenty of basics to lock in for a weekend escape. Short drive into town. Quiet and beautiful woods surrounding the property, for a lovely romantic weekend.

    We wanted to book a getaway from the chaos of everyday life, and this was a perfect spot. We stayed in most of the weekend, cozying up by the fire and playing games! Plenty of wineries and a grocery store just minutes away from the house. The kitchen has the basics for cooking, limited on baking pans/tools. Has a coffee pot but not a kettle If you’re big tea people!When we arrived it seemed that the ice machine in the fridge had leaked slightly, but it was easy to clean up. There are some maintenance issues that I reached out to the host about, they were prompt and polite in their reply! One thing to note- this may be due to the change in seasons, but when we arrived the thermostat was set so low we had to wear our winter coats inside for the first half hour or so, but it warmed up quickly enough! The fireplaces are AMAZING, we had both going all weekend. The hot tub was well maintained and in working order. We appreciated all of the towels and extra beach towels! It ended up snowing while we were there, and the views were gorgeous. We did have to put towels down by the doors due to the snow and not having mats inside. With all of the windows, we loved the views!! So beautiful and we got to see both the fall foliage and the snow on the trees in the same weekend. Also, we saw so many deer and cardinals!! It was a much needed relaxing trip. The best part…we got engaged on this trip!! It was the perfect setting, and we loved every moment. Thank you for a great stay!

    Stay was great. We loved having the trees around and having it feel like we were in nature. Hot tub was good for the cool evenings. Kitchen was more than adequate for the cooking we did.

    Our family of 6 (4 kids) loved staying at the Tree House. We loved the quiet and woodsy vibes away from the bustle of town but also being so close to New Buffalo and the beach. The screened in porch was perfect for coffee in the mornings. Multiple bathrooms were awesome to have with 6 people and they were very spacious. Would consider returning if we come back to the area.

    The trees are a nice view but this house was not well maintained and the outdoor area was essentially unusable with broken and dirty furniture and a poorly working grill.

    We enjoyed our time at the house and exploring the area. My daughter, husband and I spent a couple nights in New Buffalo for an easy getaway from Chicago. The house was comfortable and we enjoyed the hot tub after our daughter went to bed. We didn't cook much but it looked like there were enough supplies in the kitchen if we had. The spacious bedrooms are on either side of the house so it would probably be a nice place to stay with another couple or even another family if adults and kids bunk together. The outdoor space is very pretty and there's lots of seating in multiple areas. We left our jackets in the closet but found the VRBO support and local management to be very helpful, and they were mailed to us quickly.

    Comfy couch, but other livingroom chairs were uncomfortable. House was uncomfortably cold upon snowey arrival. Master bathroom had cold/low pressure shower. Guest room had amazing bathroom with jacuzzi. Outside was a nice view and hot tub was nice. Apliances were nice and new. Overall, it was a good stay. Could use minor improvements.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Tree House in New Buffalo, Michigan, and it was truly a magical experience! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the charm and uniqueness of this rental. The property is nestled among the trees, providing a serene and peaceful environment that made us feel like we were in our own little world. The interior of The Tree House is beautifully designed with a perfect blend of rustic and modern touches. The space was immaculate and well-appointed, with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The large windows throughout the house allowed us to enjoy the stunning natural surroundings, and the spacious deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets. One of the highlights of our stay was the attention to detail that Vacasa has put into making The Tree House feel like a true home away from home. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials, and the cozy living room with its comfortable seating and fireplace made it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the charming town of New Buffalo. The location is ideal, just a short drive to local attractions, restaurants, and the beautiful Lake Michigan shoreline. We enjoyed exploring the area during the day and retreating back to our peaceful haven in the trees in the evenings. Overall, our stay at The Tree House exceeded all expectations. It’s the perfect place for a relaxing getaway, whether you’re looking to connect with nature or simply enjoy some quiet time. We can’t wait to return and highly recommend The Tree House to anyone looking for a memorable and enchanting experience in New Buffalo!

    This place was absolutely perfect! From the peaceful setting, to its location, to its amenities! They have thought of everything for you, your guests, and your dogs! The hot tub is perfect for the cool evenings and the fire pit is perfect for making s'mores! The deck is perfect for reading a book and drinking your coffee. Beds are comfortable, the space is well thought out, and there is even a great fenced in side yard for your furry friends safety. They have stuff for the beach including chairs, games, and towels. House also has puzzles and games for your entertainment purposes and a binder full of suggestions of things to do. Everything was wonderful and we will be back!

    This house was amazing! Yes the lake was beautiful to visit but we were just as easily as happy to sit in the hot tub outside and experience the peacefulness. The house even had bug spray for outside. I could live there forever!

    The back porch was gorgeous and the perimeter fence let our dog get all of the sniffs in while feeling secure he would stay on the property.
