Experience a peaceful retreat at our Harbor Dunes oasis, a spacious 3-bedroom home nestled within a serene old-growth forest. Located just 5 minutes from the heart of downtown New Buffalo, this property offers the perfect blend of wooded privacy and local adventure. Designed for easy group living, the home features four distinct outdoor experience zones tailored for a relaxing family getaway.

Many Ways to Relax Outdoors
The Private Hot Tub: Tucked away on the open-air side of the deck for daytime fun or evening cocktails under the stars. Note: We provide professional hot tub cleaning immediately before every check-in.

Screened Deck: The expansive wrap-around deck is screened-in on two sides, creating a comfortable, shaded extension of the living room.

The Fire Pit: Gather around the crackling fire with circular seating for starlit s'mores. Our complimentary S'mores Kit with skewers will welcome you upon arrival. You'll have everything you need to fully enjoy the fire pit on your first evening.

The Grilling Station: A dedicated circle of Adirondack chairs allows the group to relax while you show off your skills on the gas BBQ.

The Game Zone: Head behind the house for a spirited game of cornhole (bags) at our fourth seating area, complete with a dedicated ice bucket.

Comfortable, Well-Appointed Interiors
Inside, the home features an airy, open-concept design that connects the kitchen, living area, and dining space. This layout ensures no one is left out of the conversation during meal prep or movie night.

Indoor & Outdoor Dining: Enjoy long family dinners at our indoor dining table, or head to the open-air side of the deck for a meal at the round outdoor dining table.

Morning Coffee Your Way: With multiple outdoor seating areas and a screened-in porch, you can find the perfect quiet corner of the forest to enjoy your morning coffee. So peaceful.

The Primary Suite (Upper Level): A quiet sanctuary featuring vaulted ceilings, a private two-person screened balcony, and a massive en-suite bathroom. Indulge in the large jacuzzi tub, spacious walk-in shower, and dual vanities. (A washer and dryer are in one of the closets.)

Main Level Accommodations: Ideally laid out for families, the first floor includes a guest room with a Queen and Twin bed, plus a dedicated Bunk Room (Twin/Full and Twin/Twin bunks). A full bathroom with a shower/tub combo sits conveniently between the rooms.

Community Pool & Beach Readiness
The Pool: Our community pool is a very short stroll from our doorstep. It is the perfect spot to spend a long afternoon soaking up the sun on the poolside lounge chairs.

Beach Ready: We have made your 5 minute drive to the New Buffalo beach effortless. We provide 4 tailgate chairs with over-the-shoulder straps and fresh beach towels.

Local Exploration: Beyond New Buffalo's famous beach, the stunning Indiana Dunes are just 30 minutes away and absolutely worth a visit.

    We loved our stay here! This property was exactly what I had hoped it would be - a comfortable and casual home with a dream of a porch and every convenience. We loved the community pool and lovely neighborhood for a quick walk. The house was so welcoming and communicating with the owners was a breeze. A great home base for exploring the area!

    This property is fantastic! It is in a subdivision, but the older trees, and other greenery make this so incredibly private you feel like you are in the woods. The screened in porch and outdoor space is quite expansive. There are so many little areas where you can gather as a group, or enjoy some time to yourself. The fire pit is terrific for smores, and the hot tub was a great feature for cooler evenings.

    We had a very pleasant stay. The house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of space in doors and out. The large screened in porch was a great place to hang out with the kids. And of course the pool was a hit with the kids!

    We stayed here a few years ago, and it was the first place we thought of when coming back with some family. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the owner is a pleasure to work with. The pool is great for days not spent at the beach and the hot tub is a bonus! it's the ideal place to get away from it all.

    Property was lovely and presented even better in person than the photos. Our family of 8 included 4 young kids - we all had plenty of space. The master was a dream as was the cozy kids bedroom. The home is very clean and well maintained with plenty of linens and supplies. The wooded location makes you feel like you are in the deep woods yet you’re so close to everything. The pool was perfect and family friendly, we had it to ourselves most of the time. Anything you need or want is a 5-10 min drive. Main highways take you into any shore town. We saw beautiful deer nearly daily on the trail behind the house. On the hottest days, the central A/C was powerful and movie nights were easy with new smart TVs in the two family rooms. Cooked in the homey kitchen daily as well. When we encountered an appliance issue, the owner was super responsive and took care of it immediately. The screened in wrap-around porch was a Lifetime movie set - reading books listening to the rain. Great home for families, friends or couples. Welcoming neighborhood and easy location. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

    We enjoyed our stay. The house was delightfully decorated with a collection of fun wall, and nicknack decore. It is in great location where the town/beach is just a quick mile up the road. The community pool is just steps away, and the hot tub is on one of the decks. We used them both daily.The screened in decking around the house provided pockets of sitting areas for individual quiet time, and larger areas for family fun. If you forget a simple item from home, chances are you will find it there like games, kiddie pool, bag chairs, bug spray, firewood, basic kitchen and bathroom necessities, blankets, towels, soaps etc. If you ever have a question, the host, Diane, is always available in a timely manner. Her main concern was that my family was having a pleasant vacation. Thank you Diane for sharing your wonderful home with us.

    Our family enjoyed staying at Diane's cottage. She was a wonderful host, easy to get a hold of anytime and provided lots of great info about the area. She went above and beyond to provide start up supplies especially stuff for smores( big hit with the kids). We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the closeness of the lake and town for activities. My mom loves to cook and appreciated the large kitchen area.
