Harbor Country Family Lodge



The Space:

Harbor Country Family Lodge is located directly east of the Galien River, about halfway between New Buffalo and Union Pier. It's nestled on a large, private property in the heart of Harbor Country, with easy access to the area's wineries, beaches, and shopping. With grand indoor and outdoor spaces, it's the ultimate Michigan destination for families and large groups of friends. The spacious main level is bright andwelcoming, with vaulted ceilings, skylights, numerous windows, comfortable cozy seating areas, and carefully appointed details. The large kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, brand new countertops, and an oversize prep island with barstool seating for four. Two dining rooms are available, offering plenty of space to enjoy meals together. The main dining room is just off the kitchen and seats up to ten guests, while another dining table bordering the kitchen can seat up to six. Guests have many areas for relaxation and entertainment, including a huge media room with a large sectional couch situated around a TV, a magnificent sunroom with access to an outdoor patio, and a sunken seating area in front of a stunning, two-sided stone fireplace and TV. There is also a sitting area just off the breezeway with a couch, a chair, and a chess table. In addition, guests have easy access to a laundry area with an additional full-size refrigerator for added cold storage. Also on the main level, you'll find three bedrooms, each consisting of two rooms separated by a folding panel door for privacy. The main bedroom features a custom-built bed and a newly remodeled en suite bathroom. The connecting room is furnished with a day bed with a trundle. The second bedroom suite has an en suite bathroom, a charming bay window with a seat, and plenty of closet and drawer space. The third bedroom suite features a newly remodeled full bath, desk spaces, and plenty of closet space. In addition, there is a fourth full bathroom in the hallway that features double sinks, retro vanity lighting, and a separate toilet and shower room. The lower-level bunk room is designed specifically for the kids! It features a spacious area where kids can play that includes a huge, sectional couch situated in front of a TV. The outdoor areas are just as spacious as the indoors. The backyard patio, adjacent to the main dining room, provides seating with picnic tables, a private gas grill, and plenty of green space with mature trees and landscaping which lends itself to an excellent al-fresco dining experience. The beautiful stone patio off the sunroom is a perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of coffee. The front and side yard include an above-ground heated pool surrounded by a stunning Trex deck and a lanai, a grass volleyball court, a large stone firepit, and a playhouse for the kids. If guests are wanting to soak in the sun at the beach, it's a quick four-minute drive to a great Lake Michigan beach, either Townline Beach in Union Pier or New Buffalo's downtown public beach. In addition, the Galien River is right around the corner, where you'll find kayak and paddleboard rentals available. Added amenities include a geothermal heating and cooling system and the convenience of a friendly caretaker in a separate portion of the lodge who can help you with any questions or concerns during your stay.

    A stunning place and couldn’t be happier with the experience! The space was perfect—comfortable, welcoming, and set up beautifully. The host went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to bring a large family together and celebrate, this is the place. Highly recommend!

    This house is perfect for a large group. The bedrooms were nice for a family with kids. Bathroom in all. Nice spacious laundry room away from bedrooms. Dining room table very large. The pool was the highlight of our week. Temp was perfect. Beach towels appreciated. Swings nice for kids. We had a great week and enjoyed this house very much. The house was also spotless. Very clean. Fairly close to Townline beach.

    The Lodge was spacious and welcoming with plenty of areas to spread out. Our families loved the pool and the large property. We had a great time!

    The house was bigger than we imagined. Plenty of extra rooms and beds for all the family needs. A perfect little getaway spot still close enough to New Buffalo that you didn't feel like it was a trek to go into town.

    This property was a great fit for our large group of 3 generations. Lots of beds to spread out to and kitchen was very well equipped (listing should state this). We used the pool, outdoor games on large lawn, board games, grill, front patio and back deck. Two refrigerators were a bonus! Owner is onsite and very discreet and extremely helpful with questions. Easy drive to the beaches.

    Great house with plenty of bathrooms, pool towels and kitchen utensils. Super clean. Lots of little step downs or UPS in the home, you have to be careful!

    The house is as large as promised and provided several separate living spaces, tv spaces, game table space, and several seating areas to divide up the groups. However, the bedrooms will bring the groups closer. Kitchen is truly functional for group cooking and eating together. Pool was nice to have for the kids, but remember Michigan is up north so it did not get as much use as southern pools. Location is close to several really nice beach spots and historic sites. Although it feels like it is deep in woods, it is close to highway that allows easy travel to places, you definitely hear the very busy highway. There are rules for the property including a limit to cars and where they can park, which they fully enforce.

    I have stayed at VRBO rentals before but this location managed by Peggy went above and beyond to make our weekend special. We walked into our rental to find fresh made cookies and a very helpful binder explaining various aspects of the house. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked which was a nice change from rentals I have had before that don’t even provide you with toilet paper. Small travel size soaps, shampoos, coffee filters, garbage bags, soap and whatnot was provided. The place was clean and cozy. There was plenty of room for our group to sprawl out. We saw Peggy a few times and each time she was very pleasant and friendly. We would definitely use this VRBO again and highly recommend it!
