    Our stay at ‘Stones Throw’ was perfect and reminded us of how much we love Lake Michigan and New Buffalo. The house was perfect for my adult kids. We loved how clean and equipped it was. Highly recommend staying at this property.

    We had a wonderful stay! I was most impressed with how clean the entire place was, as well as how well stocked it was with anything we needed and more. The thorough information provided in advance were very appreciated, as well. The king bed was very comfortable, my husband and I joked that we needed to take it home! lol My kids said the other beds were comfortable as well, and we all slept great over our 3 night stay. If we come to the area again, we’ll definitely stay at “stone’s throw” again!

    This place was absolutely amazing! Such a great location for a girls weekend trip and a great host. The house had everything we could have possibly needed or wanted. So many extras from games to a well stocked kitchen. We truly enjoyed it all but the sunroom was our favorite - so perfect! We would absolutely stay again!

    This Vrbo rental offers a comfortable stay with plenty of amenities. The large kitchen is well-equipped and home has ample sitting areas including a lovely three-season room.However, the property name and description overstated the ease of lake access and proximity, which was disappointing to us as it was the main reason we chose it.

    We had a wonderful time. The space was perfectly equipped with everything you need. We have a three year old and this home made it easy to be on vacation with him. Very family friendly, easy to get around, and lots to do both on the house and around the town.

It was perfect, very accommodating and so close to everything. The owner's recommendations were spot on. We enjoyed time at the beach during the day and game time and movies at night. Do yourself a favor and stay here for getaway.

    Sheilah’s place was perfect!! From the moment we stepped in the house, it smelled like a brand new home and was the cleanest place we ever stayed. She had everything you could possibly need & so many extras that we enjoyed. We had some family ping pong matches, played “Clue “, and would have used the fire pit if it hadn’t rained. We spent a lot of time on the screened in porch! The private beach was also so special!! We’d definitely stay again!

    This is our fifth time staying at Sheilah’s place, and every time the house is even nicer than the last time. Sheilah’s cleanliness and attention to detail are second to none, and I never cease to be amazed at how she is always upgrading the place in both big and small ways.
