    We really enjoyed our stay. The family room was so comfortable for a large group. Those that wanted to watch the Olympics did so. We had several that enjoyed quieter areas for reading. The walk to the beach was nice. Evenings in the hot tub and s’mores at the fire pit. Did not have to travel too far for shopping or ice cream. The kids loved the basement full of toys and games. Nice storage in kitchen. Dinings areas in several places worked well for our large group. Also enjoyed short trip to Warren Dunes State park less than15 minutes away.

    Nice property, roomy, great kitchen, pool players could play pool, tv watchers could watch Olympic trials, sports, etc. We enjoyed the screened porch a lot even when it rained. Hot tubbers had good soaks. S’mores all around one evening, great restaurants and shopping in New Buffalo (10 min), plenty of easy walks to beach. Short walk to bakery and corner grocery for yummies and breakfast sandwiches. I guess that’s enough? We had a great time!

    We have a lovely stay over a weekend in June for a family reunion. The house is about a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive from the public beach. Union Pier is a very quiet area but not far from New Buffalo with restaurants and a big grocery store if needed. The house had everything we needed. We loved the kitchen and the back porch and the outside dining area. Everything was in great shape. Check in was super easy. Bernadette responded promptly to any questions I asked her. We really loved the stay.

    Bar Down was hands down the best place I’ve had the privilege of staying via VRBO. The house was represented well via pictures and description. The owner was readily accessible if needed and was very helpful throughout our stay. I would highly recommend staying at Bar Down if you are visiting SW Michigan. Only ask is you let me k ow when you plan on booking so I don’t miss out on this property next time I’m in town. ?

    Our book club was looking for a special place to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We wee 8 senior women. The facilities were excellent. Wonderful location. Quick walk to the lake. Hot tub and outdoor fire pit was great. All the beds were comfy and there was plenty of space for celebration. There were games, movies and pool. Already planning our return
